clean install

Hey everyone! I have a Lenovo Ideapad with a dual boot to both Linux Mint and Windows 10. Unfortunately, a few components of this laptop have drivers that are not supported by Mint and I can no longer use the machine as I want, so I what I want to do is blow out everything on the box and do a...

I did a clean install of Windows 10 earlier and I'vee had 3 bsod's. After the 1st or 2nd one I reinstalled Raxco Perfect Updater and the first time I ran it, it found a few. I ran it again after the 3rd bsod and it said my drivers were up to date. I turned off Samsung Magicians Rapid Mode and...

Hi Today my computer suddenly froze up, I was in the process of deleting some files in file manager, not anything unusual at all. Unfortunately it wouldn't respond to Crtl, Alt, Delete, so after trying everything I could I did a hard shutdown. When it rebooted it said that the boot sector was...

Did a clean install from recovery disks to new drive. Seems to be ok, so first thing I tried to do is run Windows Update, but it just runs and runs and runs. Probably 5 hours now. Taskmgr shows svchost running an almost constant 25%, pretty much nothing else using any CPU. Is it normal for...

I did a clean install of Windows 10 Pro Anniversary x64 last week and I'm having numerous issues with it. I can't find any Memory.dmp or Mini.dmp files anywhere in the C:\Windows folder and was hoping somebody could check my msinfo32.zip file. Issues I'm having: Hardware: magicJack install, but...

I'm about to clean install Windows 10 update. I'm concerned about reinstalling Office 2016 since it was loaded from Microsoft on line. I don't have an installation file or DVD disk. How do I reinstall it?

I just downloaded the windows 10 anniversary update. I plan to do a clean install from an ISO file. When it asks me for a product key, do I enter my current windows 10 product key?

Not 100% sure this is the right place, since I am unable to get a dump file, but it is bsod related. I've got a windows machine that periodically (currently, every week or two) has been getting to a state where it won't boot. Each time is preceeded by an unexpected_store_exception, or...

I bought a PC with Windows 8 Home and performed the update to Windows 10. The only problem I had with Windows 10 was the unannounced and automatic update process. I would start a backup and find Windows would be doing an update, or I would shutdown in the middle of an update. I upgraded to...

I have a burned Win10 ISO that was installed. After July 29 will I be able to do another clean install with the ISO and have it activated?? Thanks

Did a clean install of Win10. All went well and all working. However, after I did a few Microsoft “Updates” I could no Longer get the PC to do a “Restart”. Yes, I could and can Start the PC from a cold Boot. I’ve also installed Win10 on another computer and have the same problem. Any...

For the past few days I've been getting the "Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered" error. Screen goes black for a while and when it comes back the error pops up. I fear my graphics card is broken, but I hope not. My laptop has one of those switchable graphics boards. An Intel...

Apologies if I am duplicating an issue here. Just recently I bought a new copy of Windows 10 64 bit and a Toshiba Q300 480g SSD. I removed the old HDD (which was still running XP), connected the SSD and tried to install Windows 10. No luck at all - it did not identify the SSD drive and...

Microsoft released the above statement around a month ago. The 'Tool' is available to download now and will allow the user to download the iso for the latest version of Win 10. See reference for link. Once you download and install the tool, the interface is really simple to use. It allows you...

This is my opinion and may have some merit. The two desktop PC's I have and the wife with her Dell laptop have been upgraded to Windows 10... One of mine is with WIN 10 Pro. There's not a day go by that we have some type of issues with the new upgrade. If it's not security issues...

Two weeks ago I made a clean install from Windows XP 32-bit to Windows 7 32-bit. Was worried that new OS won't work properly because my PC is 7 years old and may not have the best specs, has survived a virus and hard drive crash twice. So far it works flawlessly. Now I'm been bugged with "Get...
