I'm sure the gurus know how to do this but it is a daunting task for normal users. So, it would be great if one of the many gurus here could provide step by step instructions for the rest of us to go from an existing 8.1 oem factory installation to a dual boot 8.1 and 10. I've done some...

Hi I was going to add this to a post from someone who didn't have any COA sticker on their computer telling them what their Windows 8 registration number was, but I thought that other people might be interested too. I know that most of the people here are familiar with Belarc Advisor but this...

I just received a replacement drive for a WD5001AALS 500GB Black that had some bad sectors. The "new" drive is a WD1001FALS white label 1000GB. While I'm not very pleased about the label, I thought that the size difference sort equaled things out, but I wasn't sure how it would effect my...
