I burned Linux and it worked. While the visuals were clunky, I cannot argue with the results. I successfully copied the download and documents folders (plus the files on the desktop) to the D drive, which is a WD 500GB Black drive.
Hi, all. My folks never listen to me and of course, they have not been backing up their personal files to the second hard disk in the Windows 10 PC. Never mind that's why I installed that drive.
Their Win10 seems shot. It's in an endless disk repair loop and cannot get booted into a functioning...
I have been logged in to my computer. I have been at this, on and off, for months. Things were at a point where I was ready to delete my Google account, re-install windows, wipe my phone and start over. Completely.
Thankfully I may not have to do that.
Okay, this is interesting. That video shows a way to manually delete some stuff while actually typing and it is working. Of course, this means I need to do them one by one, but at least we are getting somewhere.
I assume there is some insane glitch with my Google account that is not allowing...
My boss is an overly sensitive lunatic. EVERYTHING makes her upset. I was in a position where I had no choice but to let her search on Google with my phone. Denying her would just get me in trouble.
I have done all that you describe, again and again and again and yet those auto-fill terms keep...
Gang, this is making me crazy and almost got me fired. The auto-fill nonsense when searching or typing in a webpage (or Google on my phone) will not delete. Ever. I have tried for months and it is always there.
Today I nearly lost my job because my female boss used my phone to search google...
It's entirely the fault of my brother inlaw. No doubt. Never said it wasn't. :)
I will be doing an OS backup. It would have been nice to go with Windows 7 but I couldn't figure out how to get a proper install disc or file that would work with the key. No worries. Whatever. It will do what it...
One problem I am having is inability to add a local user account. Windows 10 is still new to me and ALL the directions I find online for this point are wrong. Possibly because I have OpenShell (Classicshell) installed??? Not really sure. There seems to be no way to simply add another user...
Last night I had my sister over to test drive the redone system and she was astounded at the speed. I asked her to bring me any program cd's she has so I can install what is needed.
I am absolutely giving them a limited account! That's a damn good idea.
Oh I have tried. My brother in-law is a thick brick. Brilliant, man, but stubborn to a fault. I swear he does the opposite of what anyone tells him. Now that he no longer needs to system I think it will be fine.
As of now Windows 10 is freshly installed, plus a number of programs they need...
Hi, guys. She doesn't need USB 3.0. Obviously they are so much faster, but I talked with her and looked at her thumb drives. These are not large documents or files so she is fine with 2.0, imho.
The big issue with the pc was it had become unbearably sloooow. I have no idea what her hubby does...
I have her windows 7 Home Premium key. I tried downloading a Win7 iso using that key and Microsoft said no advising to use software supplied by the company the PC came from. That's not doable. DVD lost. System hopelessly corrupt and I want to use an SSD I have on hand.
I am downloading a...
Yeah, I am definitely doing the SSD upgrade. I have a Samsung 256 ggb ssd eight here. After having a look at this old pc I'll just do a fresh windows 7 install on the ssd which'll greatly increase her speed. This will be good enough for now and will give her a few more years.
My sister has an older PC from iBuypower with a Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2 motherboard running some sort of AMD cpu (no clue which one).
The mb in question:

The big issue for this old tower is the lack of USB 3.0. How limiting! The...
What's interesting is I tried that and it didn't work. It just didn't actually do the job. Nothing happened. So this morning I was forced to redo Windows. I will absolutley have to create a full backup of my system once it is completely set up.
OK, I have never had this happen. I was trying to find a backup folder for some files and of course, they were hidden. Stupid Windows 10 on my new Lenovo Prime laptop.
I was trying to access them and clicked something by accident. The next thing I know my computer went nuts, made changes and...
Hey all, this will be my first Windows 10 install. It's for an older Shuttle that still has very good specs. Shuttle hasn't updated their drivers in ages and I do have what i believe are all the latest drivers from when I re-installed Windows 7 over a year ago.
With Windows 10 will all those...
I just ordered a 500gb SSD. I might as well have a fresh drive. It's a shame I need to do this, but in life we have to move on when the situation dictates. So long Windows 7. :(
I just ordered and paid extra for the disc. I far prefer having physical media.
Now I am thinking I will order another for my second pc, which is actually more powerful than the one i was deciding to upgrade. I love Windows 7 Pro, but I have to admit that it's time to suck it up and move on.
That offer I will check out. I guess it might be time to go to Win 10. But I love Windows 7 so much. :(
EDIT: I just ordered and paid extra to have the disc. I love physical media. Now I am assuming that this is a full Win10 not an upgrade so I can do a clean wipe and brand new install???
By...
Can you even do a clean install of Windows 7 now that it is no longer supported? The last time I did a clean install (I believe a year ago) it took DAYS because it kept getting hung up on the bleeping updates. What a nightmare. I never want to do that again. Never, ever. I should mention I have...
Holy cow, WTF are there 128GB of data in my Win Temp directory? I have run disk cleanup many times. I always make sure Temp is checked. "Clean up system files" is always checked. This is unsettling. I wonder what I am missing.
Microsoft Search has 6 GB. What? What the hell is that?
I also...
Okay, I have a 256gb SSD drive and a year ago I had 80 gb free. Now? I keep hitting just 3 or 4 gb free. I keep anything remotely large on storage drives. My default download is on my D drive and look, my C drive download folder, pic, documents, etc. folders are near bone dry.
Using disk...
I ended up leaving it be overnight and when I checked, it was still stuck. I then went to work and came home. It had finished.
WEIRD!
I am going to go ahead and back up what I need and do a Win10 upgrade.
Okay, what a nightmare. I still have a terrific system on Windows 7 Pro. I had a blue screen of death trying to uninstall an old program. De-powered and then started up in Safe mode with Networking. Was forced to use system restore and revert back a week. OK, it rebooted.
It was "Configuring...
Did you read what I wrote? Using that official app (Move to iOS) I am unable to download and use my iCloud back to my iPhone. In addition, for months now that app has seemingly not been working. Look at the reviews. All 1 star now.
Gang, real quick, I have to move to an iPhone and I MUST have my SMS messages from my Android phone (and not stuck in my Gmail account just to look at).
Unfortunately it seems impossible to do. There are plenty of Pay programs, but #1 it's a lot of money for that and #2 I have downloaded a few...
JackMDS, cute. :)
I suppose what I should do is try and update the least critical of my three PC's, which is not all that complicated. See how that goes and move on from there.
I have an image of my original install from way back.
Faster without a clean install? That I have not heard before. My Windows 7 does not load perfectly. I sometimes have a frozen system upon startup and have to pull the plug so there is something in there that is not quite right. Thinking...
Like many I did not want to upgrade during the free 10 period. I loved 7 Pro and didn't want to change a thing. It worked for me. I have three PC's with it.
Now I find the end is near and it costs $115. So I'd have to shell out over 345 clams. That is NOT going to happen. I'm not rich. How to...
Hi, I know this seems simple, but I screw it up every time. Have been for nearly two decades now.
I ALWAYS end up with two inboxes and cannot understand what I am doing wrong. Since I do this once every 3 to 5 years I forget the right sequence.
Simply put, I exported a PST file from my...
I am really at my whits end. iTunes is IMPOSSIBLE to understand. I can build a computer, but I cannot understand itunes or any of the alternatives and always ended up deleting my phone, even when trying like mad to follow the directions. As a result I have not added music to my iPhone 4 (which i...
I have two of these external LG burners now and they never let me down. The media I normally use is 99.9% reliable:
