I just got a new hard drive for my laptop to replace an old one that went bad. Unfortunately, Windows will not install to the laptop (or work, on the one occasion I've succeeded).

Quick question. If I build a new PC and move the hard drive from my old unit to the new one, will the activation code still be valid? Isn't it based on the computer's configuration (MB, CPU, etc)?

Hi guys, I bought two of these (between them about month).
but I'm hearing sound of clicking from both (when I use it in some way), I don't know what the problem is.
I don't think that both of them are faulty and don't know if the problem from the cables.

''It now seems there is a modern alternative to the Disk Cleanup program that deals with all of the files that take up space on our devices and can be safely removed. I suspect the day is coming in a future feature update for Windows 10, maybe even Redstone 3 that is due this fall, that Disk...

I have an external Seagate 8TB USB disk . As usual , when I have less than 10% free disk space , Win 7 gives me a warning . If this is only a data disk , is it still important to have at least 10% free space ?
