I am building a new computer (the one described below). I want to use a current Windows 7 Ultimate Product Key, however I have used it on 3 computers, and I have replaced those computers with Linux. Now I want to transfer Windows 7 to my new computer, but according to what I know from testing the product key, I can't transfer Windows 7 unless the other computers are still running windows 7 with...

Installing Windows from USB, blank screen
Hey guys,
I'm reinstalling windows after some component issues (had to reinstall old motherboard after new one was borked), because Windows was not booting. However, when I boot from the USB to reinstall Windows/ repair it, it works all the way until it goes to a blank blue screen (kind of like the login screen without login box, blank login screen). After that point, nothing happens.

Solved Two recovery partitions - can one be deleted?
My second attempt to use the free Windows 10 upgrade was another bust. Having been burned by the first attempt, I thought I'd create a partition before I started so I could dual-boot in the event of a second failure. Second failure duly happened (not the issue for today - I've given up trying on Windows 10). So, as per the image, I now have a 50+GB unallocated space which I'd like to...

How to undo a system upgrade
I really goofed tonight. Before I left for the road, I took with me (what I thought) was a Windows 10 ISO, and I wrote down the product key on the DVD I burned it to, which was months ago. I did so, thinking that I would eventually "try" the Win 10 on the laptop. Tonight I got bored and pulled out the DVD and began to commence on the install. Outside of being bored, I was/am extremely tired. ...
