How do you recover data/repair from a drive failure in Windows 10 Storage Spaces?
I have 4X 4TB drives configured as RAID 1 (mirroring). I assumed that meant that a copy of the data was also stored on the other drives since only 8TB of the 16TB is available. I ID'd the failing drive and...

I have two identical 2TB SSDs. Disk 0 contains the OS and some data, and Disk 1 is all unallocated space. I want Disk 1 to be a mirror of Disk 0. When I right-click on Disk 0 and choose Add Mirror, it recognizes Disk 1 as the likely partner, warns me of the conversion to dynamic disks, and then...
Hello!
I want to use active Windows installation to test its behavior after installing any new software to avoid problems.
I know that's possible by virtual machine with the same OS and test them there.
But problem is when I'm working in time on real Windows it changes and virtual machine is...
Hi guys I have a quick question.
So I've been mirroring my Windows 10 PC to my TV by using an HDMI cable. That's the best way for me. But I noticed that I can't use my PC to do something else while having a specific tab be mirrored to my TV.
I know there's a way to do this I just don't know...

Hi folks. Been Googling quite a bit and cannot find the practical differences between using two external USB drives as RAID 1 OR as a mirrored Storage Space. Can anyone tell me which is preferred and why?
Thanks!

I received an installation update about five weeks ago and my dual monitors will now only mirror the same data. I've tried changing the display settings, with no success. Any suggestions?
For The Windows 8 "Storage Space" Pools, am I correct that choosing the "Simple/Resiliency" type of Pool will allow me to add more disks in the future when I buy them without any issues. I know that if you choose any of the "parity" types to create the Pool, you run the risk of having problems...

Change of plan - while playing with various Backup options, I learnt how to select a whole lot of folders and to Copy/Paste them onto my external hard drive. As all my save-worthy Folders are only about 60GB, it's easy to backup the whole lot without bothering about Incremental or Differential...
Hi, I'm new here.
My Backup efforts have been spasmodic and I want to improve, as follows:
1. Occasionally, do a full "Mirror Image Backup" of my whole system on external hard drive. This seems to be a standard, simple thing via Windows Help.
2. Do a separate "selected" backup on external...
