Hi. I've done a few searches for my situation but any solutions seem to involve reformatting drives, which I cant do. My system consisted of a C-drive on ssd and 2 other sata discs partitioned to give me drives D, E, F, K and V. I replaced my ssd with a larger ssd, and I in my innocence thought all I had to do was a new install of Win 7 (Home Premium 64b) on it and all would be hunky-dory (I...

Hi, Firstly, sorry if this is the wrong forum for this but I wasn't sure where to start this thread? Anyway, I'm trying to work out whether I've purchased a ligitimate copy of Windows 7 Home Premium. The seller on ebay is adamant that it was bought at a branch of Currys in the UK. My suspicions were aroused when I noticed that the hologram on the 64bit disk can be peeled off (image5) -...

I am building a new machine with an ASUS Z97-C motherboard, Intel Z97 Express chipset, Intel Core i5-4590 CPU, and a WD 500 GB Black HDD. I want to partition the HDD into 2 primary partitions and load XP SP2 (32 bit) on one and 7 (64 bit) on the other to create a dual boot machine. I have read numerous articles in the forum, and elsewhere, and the general consensus seems to be that I need to...

I have a PC from a friend that updated to Windows 10 about 3 weeks ago. He had no idea it upgraded. The PC will not boot since the upgrade. It should not have been upgraded. I attached the drive to another PC and can see a folder Windows.old. I would assume since it cannot boot, I only have one option of a clean install of Windows 7. Before I do this I wanted to check here and see if I have any...

A few days ago there was a message about a Win 7 patch, KB 2952 664. I attempted to download this and received error 8007 3701, several times. This issue has been discussed on other threads, going back to April 2014, if not earlier. This seems odd. How is it that an important patch first noted in April 2014 appears in August 2016? The most recent thread about Error 8007 3701 that I can find...

I now wish to remove the suspect installation, and revert...
