Hello everyone, this will be a rather lengthy post. Please bear with me, as I don't know what information is pertinent to my problem and what isn't. I have a Dell Latitude E6410 laptop which has been running 64-bits Windows 10 satisfactorily for quite some time now. However, its original 250 GB...

Ugh... So, I'm having major issues with my PC freezing up a lot. I even tried reinstalling Windows 10 and it worked great for about 2 hours before freezing up again. I figure there must be some kind of trojan downloading stuff to my PC. This is strange because I formatted the drive twice before...

Prior to doing that I shrunk down the original C: to basically match the SSD size and created another data partition...

A couple days ago my Old Asus laptop got infected somehow. The wireless adapter is not working properly. When I go into the Device Manager, I get the big paragraph that ends with "(Code 52)". Pressing F8 during boot and then selecting "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" works to get the...

Hi, I recently purchased a Lenovo laptop with pre-installed windows 8.1. However, after using windows 8.1 for a while, I still wanna go back to windows 7. But since I bought my laptop with licensed windows 8.1, i dont want to waste it which led me to dual booting w7 and w8.1. I encountered...

Maybe this will be of use to some. Worth adding here, perhaps. Users have read, or experienced, a faster boot time in Windows 10. In a way, this has been a bit of a cheat by Microsoft. What they have done is eliminated a window/facility during the boot process. This has, itself, caused the now...

Hi Guys First Ill explain what I did I am running Ubuntu with a virtual Windows Server 2008. The virtual machine has the word test mode at each section of the screen, not really sure how it got there but I intended on removing it. I performed some research on this matter and used bcdedit as...

Hi, all! I know how to perform a nondestructive repair install of Windows 7 under ordinary circumstances, but everything I've read so far says that you simply cannot perform that procedure if you can't boot into Windows 7 full mode first (using the hard disk partition that you want to perform...

Oh do tell me I'm on the right part of the forum even if I'm not. Once in a bit, I do get this thrilling problem while restarting - it simply hangs there and does nothing. Finally I have to hit the Power button to shut down which cannot be the best thing in the world to do. Googling this in...
