| Can I clean install Windows 10 if I free upgraded from Windows 8.1? Posted: 29 Jun 2018 11:38 AM PDT Edit: With the help of the replies, everything went perfect, except when I was setting up Windows 10 after booting from the usb, when it asked me what version of Windows to install, I chose Pro because I didn't know what version I had already. Now I have the activate windows watermark in the bottom right of my screen, and when I go to settings to activate, it says a Windows 10 Home digital license has been found on this device running Windows 10 Pro. It tells me to install Windows 10 Home to activate. How can I do this? Will I have to boot from the usb again and choose Windows 10 Home? If I don't delete any of the partitions in the setup, will my files that I've downloaded since clean installing remain on my PC? My PC's performance has never been quite the same since upgrading to Windows 10 back when the free upgrade was available a few years ago. So I've decided it's finally worth it to completely reinstall Windows 10, wiping the hard drive and everything. I've backed up some things onto a USB drive that I'll want to put back on my PC when the reinstall is finished. But I just wanted to make sure I'm not misunderstanding anything about this process. If I follow the directions on the Media Creation Tool, I can clean install Windows 10 using a USB drive, right? I won't be downgrading myself back to Windows 8 by doing this, correct? Will I need to know any product key of any kind, or will my digital license that is linked to my Microsoft account work? I could maybe use an ELI5 on how to completely reinstall Windows 10, resetting everything on the PC. [link] [comments]  |

| Windows 10 update to 1803 fails Posted: 30 Jun 2018 03:17 AM PDT Every time a new windows 10 update is released my computer fails to simply update to it. I always have to delete everything and reinstall windows 10. Since I no longer want to go through that pain I thought I would come here. I have done a virus scan with malwarebytes, defragmented ssd, checked ssd for errors, nothing. And I dont get the usual update errors, when the computer reboots from the update it just shows a black screen with some light (as in the screen is displaying black). Then I force the power off and turn back on. The windows please wait loading will appear for a long while, then the computer will boot but now I need to use a password instead of pin and audio doesnt work, wifi /ethernet, all services are gone, no desktop etc. Then I turn off pc and turn back on, then it restores previous version of windows. Sorry for the mess this is hard to explain. Thank you for any help. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Jun 2018 03:02 AM PDT this mostly happens right after i close a game (usually overwatch), my screen freezes, and a blue screen with something like "an error has occurred :( " appears. so i have to wait until it loads up to 100% and for my entire pc to restart. its just really fucking irritating. do you guys know anyways i could fix this?

| Touchpad left and right click doesnt work when typing Posted: 30 Jun 2018 02:53 AM PDT Hello, A few issues with my touchpad. I'll try and keep it short and concise:
I've changed all the usual settings in "mouse settings" to no avail. I've also gone into the registry and checked the AAPThreshold key (it was already 0). I think it's an issue with PalmCheck on Synaptic devices (however, I can't easily turn this off to check). Although, the fact that the mouse moves while typing leads me to believe it's something else. So: my questions are:
Thanks everyone :) [link] [comments]  |
| The search bar has green text and when i write it becomes white. Posted: 30 Jun 2018 12:28 AM PDT so what happened was that i switch into high contrast on accident. the text in the search box on Cortana is now green and when i write it just becomes white like the background. i switched off of high contrast and its still there.

| Can i mix and match RAM for dual channel config? Posted: 30 Jun 2018 12:26 AM PDT Hey, I'm thinking of giving some love to my outdated PC, partly in the form of some extra RAM. I currently have a single stick of Kingston DDR3-1600 memory and thought I'd go 16GB by getting another. The problem I'm having is that every site I visit gives me different pictures of the item making me think I could buy the wrong thing. I know the model number on the sticker is KVR16N11/8. Is this even worth considering or can I just get whatever other stick I want and use it? Thanks for reading this. I'll try to help you guys help me where I can. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Jun 2018 12:26 AM PDT In my case, I've got an Asus ROG Maximus X motherboard. The motherboard's built-in 802.11 wifi device has external antennas that connect using two little pigtail SMA-style connectors. I haven't been using my motherboard's wifi adapter because I have a wired network connection, so I never bothered to connect the antenna. I just spent two hours trying to get my new Xbox One controller to pair to my PC - either Windows wouldn't see the device at all, or it would but would fail to finish pairing, like the connection was spotty. Once I connected the antenna to the ports on the back of my motherboard, it worked instantly. This makes some sense because bluetooth and 802.11 are similar RF protocols and share the same spectrum, so it's conceivable that they would share the antenna. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Jun 2018 11:43 PM PDT I updated Windows just the other day and after it was done updating the colors on my screen were more bluish than before and it is really weird looking. How do I fix this? I looked on my monitors settings but found nothing. [link] [comments]  |
| Does using a VPN still serve its purpose even with using my ISP provided router/modem? Posted: 29 Jun 2018 08:57 PM PDT The ISP can still see the MAC address of their device as well as my public facing IP. Is that ok? That just means they know that I am using their router but not what I'm doing on it right? Is there any danger to using their device while on the VPN? Do I need to buy my own Router/modem? I just want to make sure I am not defeating the purpose of using a VPN by also using their provided hardware. [link] [comments]  |
| I dropped my smarthphone in water. Posted: 29 Jun 2018 10:08 PM PDT I have a Huawei m8 smartphone, which i accidentally droped in the sink. Luckily, it only touched the water on it's upper side, so the only opening that got wet was the headphone jack. This happened aproximately 10 mins ago, and it seems to be working fine. Should i worry? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Jun 2018 01:45 AM PDT Today I while watching YT videos , I noticed some suspicious internet activity . Then I checked my Data usage Stats in Settings , there I witnessed there are two separate Opera application and a application named Online-Guardian.exe which accounts for 900mb usage and I get it's location and use File explorer to go to that location but there is no file location like that and I also checked hidden files. The Location is : C:\Program files(x86)\microleaves\online application\version 2.6.0\online-Guardian.exe I suspect it is an malware. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Jun 2018 11:27 PM PDT I have a simple question.... Is ReImage Pc Repair a Virus? If so, I made the stupid mistake to use my pay-pal to pay for the scan. Should I be scared that I am in danger of fraud? [link] [comments]  |
| Converting camcorder tapes to computer/flashdrive Posted: 29 Jun 2018 07:52 PM PDT I know i already posted about this, but I have more information that may be helpful! I own a Sony Video 8 Handycam (CCD-FX420) and I am looking to convert my tapes to my mac laptop. Currently, I am attempting to simply play back the tapes via my camcorder and TV but the tapes wont even rewind/play so I think that the camcorder is broken (or I am doing something wrong). If that is the case, any method that includes using the camcorder to convert the tapes is probably off the table. The devices I have seen have been like $100+ so it must be pretty expensive to do. There are also no specific youtube videos that demonstrate this using this exact camcorder so i'm lost haha. Does anyone have any suggestions? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Jun 2018 12:40 AM PDT Hello, I've purchased mouse with few sideways buttons and would like to unbind them. Those buttons already have defaults like left and right mouseclick etc. I tried to change controls in one game and wanted to assign the buttons. Like, I wanted to use voice chat only by clicking that button. It showed as a left mouse click and it unbound it from primary fire. It's due to those buttons were already bounded to a certain key. So now I have 2 buttons bound to exact same key which I really don't need. I would like to unbound them and create unique buttons which I would assign whatever action I want them to do. Is it possible? I'm not sure if system can register there are additional buttons on the mouse and also don't know where to change it. [link] [comments]  |
| My laptop does not recognize the second Caddy HDD I installed Posted: 30 Jun 2018 04:11 AM PDT Good day, everyone! I have just swapped my HDD for a SSD. I installed the SSD in the SATA port where the HDD was and relocated the old HDD in the place of my CD/ DVD unit using a Caddy adapter. I cloned the C: partition on the new SSD using Macrium Reflect because I wanted to have the possibility to boot either from my SSD or from my HDD. But, guess what, the SSD which I installed in the default port shows up in BIOS while the HDD does not, even though it appears in My Computer and in the Computer management/ Storage. I would like to get the HDD to be recognized in the BIOS so that I can boot from it. Any piece of advice is appreciated. Thank you in advance! Raul A.

| CPU core temps rise from 40°C steadily up to 90°C! Even at idle. Posted: 30 Jun 2018 04:00 AM PDT As you can see from the title, when I start my PC the CPU core temps rise steadily over time without me changing task or running anything particularly intensive. Any suggestions on what might be wrong?/What I can do to improve the situation? [link] [comments]  |

| New Zotac gtx 1070 ti mini graphical glitches. Posted: 30 Jun 2018 03:57 AM PDT Hi there, I recently replaced my gpu with a Zotac gtx 1070 ti mini (ZT-P10710G-10P). I have been having some strange graphical glitches/artifacting on some games - not all games though. I will link a few screenshots that I took to showcase the problem below... Specs: i7 3770 @3.4GHz GTX 1070 ti 16G RAM Win 7 https://i.imgur.com/3oOejoO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/UdfdTXA.png https://i.imgur.com/SvLP4zg.jpg https://i.imgur.com/JJByhBN.jpg Please let me know what you think and thanks in advance guys.

| Posted: 30 Jun 2018 03:50 AM PDT Hello everyone First my specs (from what I can remember): Win 7 Home Premium 3.6Ghz 4 core i5 processor GTX GeForce 460 It's a Dell Studio XPS 8100 1TB HDD and 90GB SSD (OS is actually installed on both but boots from the SSD) That's all I can remember, sorry. No weird noises on startup, just the usual whirring of the disc drive and sometimes the HDD. Around 4 months ago my PC fatally crashed. I was playing Mass Effect when it suddenly froze. I alt-tabbed to try and use task manager, but all I could do was watch in horror as each program crashed one after the other until the PC was completely frozen. I held down the power button to switch it off and tried to reboot, however it was just hanging on "starting windows". This happened every time I tried to switch the PC on. Nothing was working, not safe mode, not the BIOS, not booting from the recovery disc, nothing. It just got to "starting windows" and stayed there forever. So, fast forward to yesterday, and for some reason I decided to try and fix the PC again as 4 months without one of my only hobbies has been driving me to insanity. I plugged it all in and got something different. "ACHI Port0 Error - Press F2 to Resume" So I hit F2 and was presented with a blue menu which had a bunch of stuff I won't even pretend to understand on it. I had seen this once before, but was well out of my comfort zone so just switched off again. This time though I saw there was an option to choose the boot drive and so I changed all of the options to the disc drive and tried the recovery disc. This time something happened, it actually loaded the disc! I was asked which language I wanted and which keyboard input, and I clicked "install now". I left it for about 4 hours but it just stayed on the "Setup is starting..." screen. I feel like I've taken a tiny step forward but I'm still stuck in the same place. I'm out of options. I can't afford a new PC and this one has been struggling along for about 7 years so I know it was due to pop its clogs sooner or later. If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears. My PC is pretty much my only way of socialising with my old friends and I'm going loopy not being able to play games. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Jun 2018 03:46 AM PDT Hi, So I was playing a game and I got a BSOD screen (Error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL). I rebooted and my GPU was not detected, can't update drivers, it apparently just doesn't exist. Anything I google leads to a bunch of stuff I can't understand or doesn't give the answer, just "I fixed thanks". Is there anything I can do, or is it just dead? [link] [comments]  |

| Does my hard drive have bad sector and is there nothing I can do? Posted: 30 Jun 2018 03:44 AM PDT Anyway I was finally able to shop for a hard drive enclosure! On the first store, it can't be read on My Computer although Device Management can detect it. I thought maybe it's because of differences in OS, but they didn't have a VM so I bailed out. On the second one, the store manager said that the LED should be blinking and not steady, and that the ticking sound indicates bad sector. How true is this though? Lastly, how should I dispose it?
