I am having problems deleting large files in Win 10. When I ask it to delete a large folder it sits there and counts each and every file for hours before it will initiate the delete process. I don't remember having this problem in Win 7. Any work arounds to just get it to delete the folder like...
So I have a work laptop that I use for testing and it is my backup unit. I think it is a Dell 7720. It is airgapped for the most part. I bought two just alike. The main unit, I autheticated office when it was new. The backup unit when connected to the net wants some sort of microsoft account log...
I found the problem. If CPU utilization is set to 100 percent, it clocks a 2.8Ghz processor at 3.5 Ghz 90+ degrees C. If I set it to 99 percent it runs at like 65C 2.8Ghz no matter what you do. No wonder the CPU was boiling.
So I bought this Dell E6540 a few years back as a Dell refurb and it had win 7 on it and ran a bit warm but not bad. After installing Win 10 it has been running CPU temps around 100C (too hot) fan runs but does not seem to run all that fast. Also no sign of throttling back on the CPU's. Runs hot...
So I have an odd situation where I can connect to the router but can't access the internet but other computers connect just fine. I expect it is a router problem but why this internet not being available problem. This happens on win 7 or win 10 computers.
I tried the repair options on the Win 7 install disk. No joy. I have a recovery partition that is part of the dell installation but no idea how to restore from that partition and can't find much on the dell websight. Why the heck do they have a recovery partition if you can't do anything with...
I am trying to restore an old Win 7 Acronis 12 disk image to a new hard drive. The data is there but it won't boot. It says no OS. So I am assuming that it can't find the boot sector. I did not back up the boot sector so how do I fix this and make it bootable. Acronis 12 is a pain in the...
I am looking for a good aftermarket battery for my Dell E6540 and it is really hard to trust reviews on Amazon. So does anyone have experience with a brand of aftermarket battery that last more than 6 months and will have at least OEM capacity. The number on the battery is N3X1D.
I have not exhausted all options yet. I probably have a disk image I can load and then shut off updates after that. I have a valid sticker with the codes on it. Just need a place to put the numbers in.
If it ain't broke why mess with it. I don't have the time to deal with it. It works as a dvr and I can stream stuff. I never watch live tv. I must skip commercials. I use win 10 at work and it does not impress me. Does the same thing as XP but harder to change settings etc. I am familiar with...
I am having problems with an old laptop that was a dell refurb. It has a legal copy of win 7. So why is it telling me that my copy is not a legal copy after years of being fine? I am using it as a media center computer so I don't want to upgrade. It does what it needs to do and win 10 or 11...
