Hi, I am attempting to reinstall windows xp home on my mom’s Dell 740 optiplex computer with the Dell reinstallation CD that came when unit was purchased. All her files were copied to a flash drive & no need to recover data. Have done this in past without any problems but this time I can’t seem...

This Dell XPS 8700 started out at Windows 8.1. Before I even started using it, I used Paragon's Migrate OS to SSD 4.0 to move the C: partition to an SSD and be able to boot to it. Prior to doing that I shrunk down the original C: to basically match the SSD size and created another data partition...

Hello all. I am in quite a predicament here. I recently installed Win 10 because it was time to reformat and I figured that an upgrade from win 7 was a good idea. After installing and using win 10 for a few days I decided it was not for me and used the system reset function on win 10 to wipe...

Hello, Last week I installed windows vista on my laptop, after restarting the pc, the pc shows windows vista 2 times. So the pc is saying, you installed windows vista 2 times, but i don't know how? One of the windows vista's is normally working, the other not. This is because its not...

I recently did the free upgrade to Windows 10 but decided to go back to Windows 7. Microsoft lets you opt to go back to the previous OS for 30 days so this was not an issue. I reverted back to Windows 7 but now at the Windows login screen my keyboard and mouse are frozen as I can't move the...

So, this morning Windows decided I wasn't having enough fun in my life, and decided to fuck with me. Yesterday, it had updated but I had not yet restarted. I hadn't scheduled it - in fact the schedule window was open so I could dictate when I wanted the thing to update. When I woke up, I saw...

I was trying to reset my computer which is running Windows 10 but about half way through the reset it said something like it failed to reset and then just turned off. When I turned it back on I tried to boot it from the "choose an operating system" boot menu as always, but once I chose Windows...

Hey guys, So as in the title, when I start up my computer there's no OS being detected. Reason being, I had upgraded from windows 7 to 10. Everything was fine, then I foolishly decided to give my computer a reboot, just to clean it up a bit. Halfway through, Windows 10 tells me there was a...

For some time now run a dual boot pc for some time now with Win 7 and Win 10 tech preview. I have upgraded to Win 10. So now what I want to do is uninstall the tech preview and the boot menu. I could just format the tech preview drive but would that leave my boot up clean with just the Win 10...

I am trying to do a system retory/ factory reset. After the computer restarts, it brings me to a kind of boot menu where both my mouse and keyboard are turned off. I cant select any options because of this and im stuck at this screen. Any advice on how to fix this is greatly appreciated:)

Hi I was messing around trying to find a way to boot Windows 10 into safe mode. I think you can get to it through the Repair and Recovery window, but I don't see a way to open the repair window unless you actually have issues and it open on it's own. I suppose that makes sense, if you...

I have a Lenovo B570e series laptop. Unless I remove my hard drive I cannot acces my BIOS settings. When I force my laptop entering the BIOS I noticed an '!' before 'Boot Menu' in the Boot Priority Order. (see attachment). How can I fix this?

I booted into safe mode and it is not functioning. So I can't get to msconfig to uncheck safe mode boot. Is there a way to access the advanced boot menu before booting into Windows? Used to be F8 but doesn't seem to work in windows 10. Help please

Hi Well I'm on day 2 of running Windows 10 in a dual boot setup with Windows 8. I have to say I'm impressed, it works great, a really big improvement over Windows 8. I have a lot of my software installed, Photoshop is next, but I have all the normal stuff like CCleaner, Defraggler, Open...

Ok, so earlier today I was trying to load Ubuntu on my ThinkPad. When I tried to load it on the boot menu it just loads Windows 7. I have also tried this with Chromium OS. But it just loads Windows 7 as usual. Does anyone know a fix to this? My model is a Think T60 2009 (I think.)
