I burned Linux and it worked. While the visuals were clunky, I cannot argue with the results. I successfully copied the download and documents folders (plus the files on the desktop) to the D drive, which is a WD 500GB Black drive.
Hi, all. My folks never listen to me and of course, they have not been backing up their personal files to the second hard disk in the Windows 10 PC. Never mind that's why I installed that drive.
Their Win10 seems shot. It's in an endless disk repair loop and cannot get booted into a functioning...
I have been logged in to my computer. I have been at this, on and off, for months. Things were at a point where I was ready to delete my Google account, re-install windows, wipe my phone and start over. Completely.
Thankfully I may not have to do that.
Okay, this is interesting. That video shows a way to manually delete some stuff while actually typing and it is working. Of course, this means I need to do them one by one, but at least we are getting somewhere.
I assume there is some insane glitch with my Google account that is not allowing...
My boss is an overly sensitive lunatic. EVERYTHING makes her upset. I was in a position where I had no choice but to let her search on Google with my phone. Denying her would just get me in trouble.
I have done all that you describe, again and again and again and yet those auto-fill terms keep...
Gang, this is making me crazy and almost got me fired. The auto-fill nonsense when searching or typing in a webpage (or Google on my phone) will not delete. Ever. I have tried for months and it is always there.
Today I nearly lost my job because my female boss used my phone to search google...
It's entirely the fault of my brother inlaw. No doubt. Never said it wasn't. :)
I will be doing an OS backup. It would have been nice to go with Windows 7 but I couldn't figure out how to get a proper install disc or file that would work with the key. No worries. Whatever. It will do what it...
One problem I am having is inability to add a local user account. Windows 10 is still new to me and ALL the directions I find online for this point are wrong. Possibly because I have OpenShell (Classicshell) installed??? Not really sure. There seems to be no way to simply add another user...
Last night I had my sister over to test drive the redone system and she was astounded at the speed. I asked her to bring me any program cd's she has so I can install what is needed.
I am absolutely giving them a limited account! That's a damn good idea.
Oh I have tried. My brother in-law is a thick brick. Brilliant, man, but stubborn to a fault. I swear he does the opposite of what anyone tells him. Now that he no longer needs to system I think it will be fine.
As of now Windows 10 is freshly installed, plus a number of programs they need...
Hi, guys. She doesn't need USB 3.0. Obviously they are so much faster, but I talked with her and looked at her thumb drives. These are not large documents or files so she is fine with 2.0, imho.
The big issue with the pc was it had become unbearably sloooow. I have no idea what her hubby does...
I have her windows 7 Home Premium key. I tried downloading a Win7 iso using that key and Microsoft said no advising to use software supplied by the company the PC came from. That's not doable. DVD lost. System hopelessly corrupt and I want to use an SSD I have on hand.
I am downloading a...
Yeah, I am definitely doing the SSD upgrade. I have a Samsung 256 ggb ssd eight here. After having a look at this old pc I'll just do a fresh windows 7 install on the ssd which'll greatly increase her speed. This will be good enough for now and will give her a few more years.
My sister has an older PC from iBuypower with a Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2 motherboard running some sort of AMD cpu (no clue which one).
The mb in question:

The big issue for this old tower is the lack of USB 3.0. How limiting! The...
