system upgrade

I am preparing to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Would it be advisable to disconnect my external back-up hard drive during the upgrade procedure?

Hey guys, I'm gonna explain what got me here first. I installed windows 10 on my machine a while ago on my 500Gb drive. Recently I added a 1Tb drive to my PC and decided to move to windows 8.1 because W10 became too heavy for my system after the 2019 update. I mounted the W8.1 ISO and began the...

I have had no contact with W10 until yesterday. A friend's HP Desktop all-in-one apparently went through the MS 'forced upgrade' to W10 some time ago, and appears to have a corrupted Users --> Default folder (especially the NTUSER.DAT file), so I have a couple of questions: 1. Can I copy that...

Hi, I seen a few posts relating to disks with less space than anticipated - but think I have gone through the suggestions. I have an older ACER X1301 which has been upgraded to W8 then W10 and with an SSD instead of the HDD. When I installed the SSD I thought I had a 'C' drive with approx...
