windows upgrade

Hi, I've recently moved a specialist PC which is used in our college radio studio from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Everything has gone well, but for the exception of dual display. This PC has two mirrored displays; a 22-inch and a 40-inch. The 22-inch display is the main PC monitor and the 40-inch...

I've searched everywhere and did find a couple of answers, but none of the fixes helped. I'm still having trouble getting a 2009 disc to start, it just spins and stops over and over, but never actually starts up. I have it set to Auto-Play, but it didn't help. Before I bought this software, I...

If I am doing a clean reinstall starting with Windows 7 pro SP1, would I need to update it fully before I do a Windows 10 upgrade? Just like when you would do a service pack install, you did it immediately after installation. Sometimes it feels like windows 10 is just another service pack...

Hi all, I just upgraded from Windows 10 32bits to 64. I used an external hard drive for that and of course, I didn't think about it, everything is gone. Some of it wasn't backed up, so I'd like to get the data back if possible, it'd mean the world to me. My little bit of hope is that my hard...

This Dell XPS 8700 started out at Windows 8.1. Before I even started using it, I used Paragon's Migrate OS to SSD 4.0 to move the C: partition to an SSD and be able to boot to it. Prior to doing that I shrunk down the original C: to basically match the SSD size and created another data partition...
