Luckily I do have my back-ups on another drive. Last time I used the Windows Image file and it restored in a snap. Really impressed. I want to try my Paragon back-up this time but its not nearly as automatic as the Windows Restore from Image. So my question is: when Windows installs on a HD...

Its funny you mention this because I was just about to start a thread myself with this same issue but mine is a desktop. My primary HD would crash every time MS would install the latest patch. It would go through the start up repair wizard and reset to an earlier set up and it would start...

Thanks for that help. I found that you can make this tip go away by putting your cursor arrow into the upper left corner of the screen.

My Win XP nettop is still working fine so I see no reason to stop using it. When I come to the point it stops working I will probably switch over to Linux on it.

I wish MS would work on their speech to text dictation feature. That hasn't been upgraded in several versions.

I head that Microsoft said they would upgrade everyone to Windows 10 for FREE. This even included those running bootleg copies. Then they backed down a little on the bootleg upgrade and said they would upgrade them to an "unregistered version" of Win 10. As far as the low power computers...

The good news is that Windows 10 is coming out soon and Microsoft said they will upgrade everyone for FREE.

AppWin by InfoCentral posted Apr 17, 2015 at 10:02 PMI have recently been getting this SWITCH BETWEEN APPS window which has a big orange arrow and tells me to swipe in from the edge etc. The problem is that it lays on top of everything and I can't figure out how to close it or to stop in from...

OK, I went to Fry's and purchased a new HD on sale for $44. I formatted and installed it. I told Paragon to restore it using my previous drive image. It started but errored. I noticed that Windows made 2 partitions but the main partition said it was still unformatted. So I decided the best...

Exactly, the reason for 8.1 was to add the start menu back into Windows 8 because of the backlash of it missing. It still wasn't as functional as the previous start menu. I was used to finding my programs through the start menu which isn't there in Win8. I see in Win 10 they are bringing the...

I am beginning to question that whole image back-up as a viable way. Both the Paragon image and the Win7 image back-ups were a no go. I think now the way to go is just like said, buy another HD and clone it to the first and just keep alternating between the two when things get weird. I am...

Simplicity is what people seek and they are more then willing to pay for it. I see Windows 10 is reverting back to the more traditional desktop of previous versions. The reason is that the masses rejected having to learn the all new Win 8 desktop and wanted what they already knew.

I actually thought it was going to install quickly this time. At first it was cranking but not its been 4 hrs and it still has about a third of the way to go. Starting to have bad feelings about this working too.

So the Migrate option wasn't viable as it was a copy clone of the entire HD. So now its back to Paragon and this time I told it to just back up the files and not the Root Directory. See if that works. It says 50 mins to complete but it said that last time and it took a whopping 12+ hrs. In...

Here is what I did. I put the Win Installation disc in and told it to format the SSD. Then told it to reinstall Win. Got an error message and it said it couldn't install. Lovely. Put in the Paragon disc and it told me there was no OS on the disc. I told it to format a new partition. It did...
