Then Windows started although the initial screen 'Starting Windows' had corrupted text. Word runs without any trouble but nothing with graphics in it runs properly or at all. Internet explorer won't...

Two months ago we upgraded our Lenovo desktop from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 10. Now we've decided we don't like it.

Here’s a weird question. I’m doing a new build and I’m sticking to Win7 Pro 64-bit. I’ve purchased one of the new M.2 PCIe SSDs to be my boot drive. I understand that I have to install the OS from a UEFI device formatted GPT rather than MBR and I have already created the bootable USB 3.0 flash drive (using the great tutorial posted on this forum). OK, so far so good, right? Well,...
