Hi Yesterday I helped my friend upgrade his Windows 7 computer to Windows 10. Everything went smoothly except the sound. Even though he has a different model of Sound Blaster card, (a SB X Fi Fatality Pro) he has the same issue that I did when I switched to Windows 10. After the update there...

OK, I upgraded from 8.1 to 10. Here's where the fun begins. If I pull an icon to the edge of the screen, a third of it goes off screen. The Taskbar is 2/3 off the screen. If I go full screen with my browser (Firefox) it too blows off the screen. The Menu Bar is off screen. The minimize button...

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...

Recently did an upgrade to Windows 10. I had a couple of problems along the way, but nothing that I couldn't work around, and the end result was what should have been a fairly clean Windows install, settings but no applications retained. Then, I noticed that when I select shutdown, it will...
