Dear Anyone.
OK, so this is one of those questions where I'm going to feel a total plonker for not spotting the answer myself, so there's no need to point that fact out to me!

In the past MS has been very nice about letting me move my win7 drive from computer to computer as I've upgraded machines. (had to reauthorize but that's not a biggie)
Now I have win7 on my main machine balanced nicely with a lot of apps. I do not want to upgrade this.
Nor do I want to stop...

Hi there,
I'm setting up an HPE Proliant Microserver Gen10 for a simple small office file share and host a Filemaker Database. There is 4 HD slots and I have 4 x 1TB drives. I can setup all four in a RAID 10 array which gives performance and redundancy but only gives me 1 volume. Should I be...

An attempt was made to reset Windows while keeping the personal User files intact. The reset did not finish and the PC won't boot up. I took out the hard drive to test it and check what files were on it after that Reset did not work. This is what I've found.
Any help with what to delete or...

I'm not see a list of hard drives and partitions to choose from. This error usually occurs when installing Windows 7 or a standard NVME hard drive. The reason is that Windows 7 was born quite a long time, while some new machines need newer SATA drivers. What can I do?
Below in my screenshot I have marked the W10 installation, W10 bootloader, and Linux install. For some reason, every time I install W10 it decides to install the bootloader on a seperate drive. When I boot into the linux drive grub shows W10 but I am unable to boot into it. I am able to boot...
