From Win 7 -> 10 and Linux as dual-boot

1) I fear Win7 will no longer be maintained by MS once W10 starts costing $$. 2) I have both, WIN7 (no touch 64bit) and Win8 (with touch 32bit) on 2 computers. I did not like the initial W8 installation requiring a connected MS account and continuous internet connection to use computer. I don't like spies. 3) In view of this situation I am considering Ubuntu Linux version as a second O/S as...

How can I restore Win7 settings after a Win8 install attempt

$

When trying to install Visio 2013, a Windows 8 installation automatically started; telling me not to shutdown my computer. Thus my own automatic reaction of pulling the plug. Unfortunately, some aspects of Win7 appear to be broken, including the spell check, macro functions (ie. can't load normal.dotm or normal.docm), and Outlook functionality. I would like, dearly, to recover these settings....

My Windows\assembyl\NativeImages_v2.0.50727_64\Temp dir has 12 GB !!!!

An investigation of my 64bit Win 7 systems shows that the folder C:\Windows\assembyl\NativeImages_v2.0.50727_64\Temp\ has almost 12 GB content. I have never seen such a big space occupation before (for a Windows "Temp") directory. I must have bloated in the last weeks. What could be the reason? Is it because of recent updates?

Hi, Does anyone know where I can obtain an install disk which has the option to allow me to format the disk? I have a license key but I've lost my original disk which allowed me to format and re-partition as part of the install procedure. I downloaded one some time back but as you boot from it it just launches into installation which is of no use :eek: Is there any way to get a copy of...

I was having some problems with Windows 7 and decided to use the upgrade feature to reinstall it (http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html?filter[3]=Installation%20and%20Setup). I used the CD that came with my PC, the Upgrading Windows part worked fine, and I was told that the Setup is preparing your computer for first use. However the password screen did not appear (stage...

All seemed ok the first time I turned it on but after traveling I was tired and forgot to turn it off, (I think) Next morning I tuned it on and on the screen came the Microsoft logo, Then the option to accept or decline...

Hi there. Not sure if this is the right section or not... Anyway tried my hand with Debian, I'm very new ti all of this and for a number of other reasons I wanted to go back to Windows. I popped in Windows 7 Cd and initially couldn't get it to boot at all. Had to enable legacy something or other in bios and then it booted to the cd no problem.

I need to put the Windows OS, that means Windows Boot Manager in BIOS at Boot option 2, but in this case it does not boot. I need to put at boot position 1 PXE boot and if that fails boot from Boot option 2 (Windows). How could I do that? My motherboard is Gigabyte GA-Z97P-D3. Thank you!

Hello all, I have a problem installing windows 7 on my new windows 10 laptop. I find it very weird how I change settings in the BIOS to support all legacy stuff like windows 7 and I try to boot from USB all the way to dvd and nothing works. What I mean is when it is done booting, it says " No drivers were found" and there's not a hard drive for me to choose windows 7. It's weird though...

Cloned to SSD now in selective startup mode- Problem?

Please bear with me for my short (perhaps amusing) tale of difficulty and discovery: 1. I recently cloned my Windows 7 OS from an HDD to an SSD and disconnected the old HDD (though I left it in the computer case, just in case). I reordered my HDDs and startup devices in the BIOS and everything was working smoothly. 2. Background Note #1: a couple of years ago I had a dual boot...

I am trying to do a clean re-install on my PC. I followed this sites tutorials on cleaning and partitioning the drive before installing, but I can't get past the first reboot. Yesterday I only did a "clean" in diskpart, partitioned files, and let the computer mull on it overnight. 15 hours later, it was still on the "Completing Installation" phase. Okay, that seemed like an excessive wait. I went...

So I have a single HDD. About a year ago this was split into 2 separate partitions, 50/50 On Partition C: I have my primary Windows 7 Home installed... On Partition D: I have an older version of Windows, that 7 replaced... I just kept the old one so I would not lose important data, etc... and just kept it longer then I should have. I finally decided to get rid of it, and merge the...

Hi all. I bought a brand new Dell PC yesterday which came with windows 10. I dont care for 10 and want to go back to 7 pro. I also had a spare solid state HDD so I put the new SS drive in, found an old version of 7 pro, installed it but I cant find the original box or key.

Hi all, This may have been asked & solved previously, but maybe not the way I'm hoping to do it? I'd like to dual boot Win 7 and Win 10, but some brief background info first may help. I'm running Win 7 on a 120Gb SSD with a single partition. I also have 2 HDDs - one for images and backups and the other for docs, music etc. Using Acronis 2014, I imaged this and saved it before doing the...
