    Simple Questions Thread - Week of February 28th 2021

    Posted: 28 Feb 2021 08:10 AM PST

    Welcome to the Simple Questions thread, for questions that don't need their own thread. We still recommend you use the search, FAQ/Wiki on the sidebar, or even a Bing search before asking. Also please post general tech support related questions on /r/techsupport. Be sure to check out our new help subreddit, /r/WindowsHelp

    Some examples of questions to ask:

    • Is this super cheap Windows key legitimate? (probably not)

    • How can I get the 20H2 update?

    • Can you recommend a program to play music?

    • How do I get back to the old Sound Control Panel?

    Sorting by New is recommend and is the default.

    What is the correct way to clean install Windows on a new SSD and remove it from the old SSD?

    Posted: 28 Feb 2021 02:37 PM PST

    I want to do a fresh install of Windows 10 on a new SSD. My PC has a secondary HDD. I want to format the old SSD and move that to another system.

    What is the best procedure for doing a fresh install on my new SSD and formatting the old one? Should I do diskpart in the recovery CMD or do the format from within Windows?

    How do I do a deep format of this old one? I am worried because after I set up the new SSD with W10, I will have two drives with W10 in the same PC.

    Pause Play Display Problem

    Posted: 28 Feb 2021 05:13 PM PST

    Does anyone know how to get rid of the grey pause/play/volume slider while watching a video in windows 10? It used to never pop up but now it pops up and won't go away while watching a video. I am using the brave browser and previously was using chrome and still doing the same thing. Is there a way to just disable it for good??

    What's the point of swapping from Quick Access to This PC

    Posted: 28 Feb 2021 04:47 PM PST

    I changed to Quick Access over 4 months ago and forgot I did it and wondered why I couldn't see my drives anymore in File Explorer. Recently had to do a search to get the drives back.

    Whats the point OF SWAPPING THEM BACK N' FORTH? Why can't you have quick access and see the drives in this PC TOGETHER?

    you have to pin them if I understand correctly BUT my folders from my external hard drives don't appear anywhere when I pin them.

    Windows 10 activation error

    Posted: 28 Feb 2021 04:32 PM PST

    It says "We cannot activate Windows on this device as the previous version of Windows was not activated prior to upgrading to Windows 10. Go to the store to the store to buy a genuine Windows. Error code 0x803f7001."

    However, I downloaded this copy from the windows website to a boot/flash drive and never had a different version. I just need to activate it but it won't let me enter my key.

    No Boot after connect new SSD

    Posted: 28 Feb 2021 03:54 PM PST

    I have a nitro 5 Acer, used to have in the ssd drive a intel optane memory of 16 gb (came preinstalled,its shit btw), didnt know the hdd booted along with that shitty optane card [dont know how cause you cant save any single file in that card], take that card out put the new SSD XPG. Next I power the pc I'm in the UEFI cause i cant boot, changed the sata mode to AHCI (it was in RST with Optane), doesnt work, even with the ssd and hdd working fine (thanks to UEFI showing these drivers name), Even I can see the windows boot manager file in the list of Boot in the number 1.

    I think maybe the HDD got corrupted files, but i can see all my files fine thanks to a "window" trying to search a iso file, ( that i dont have only want to see the file).

    I tried this https://youtu.be/Aeq98yemV1s and still doesnt work

    Please help i dont know what to do, i dont want to put that shity optane card cause im sure it isnt the problem cause you cant save any single file in it,

    Keyboard entering multiple keys/opening programs.

    Posted: 28 Feb 2021 02:04 PM PST

    Hi about an hour ago I was playing a game & suddenly I noticed my keys weren't right, more specifically just the row under the number keys "Tab - \". Not sure why it's just that row I'm pretty sure I have sticky keys disabled.

    For example whenever I press "Q" my camera opens, "W" opens GeForce Experience, "E" types in "3edc", "R" types in "4rfv", "T" types in "5tgb", "Y" types in "6yhn".

    And it just keeps going like that all the way up to the backslash key. Again I'm not sure why it's just that row but any help would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

    Using External SSD for New Main Storage

    Posted: 28 Feb 2021 02:01 PM PST

    I recently got a new PC but the hard drive only has 500GB, so I got a 1 TB Crucial external SSD, if I wanna use this for basically everything I download from now on how would I go about it? I added the disk using Acronis TrueImage but when I tried cloning it it told me I needed to go inside the PC and remove the hard drive basically. I mostly want it for games currently, and I cant just make a Program Files(86) folder in the SSD and save the game/installer there, can I? Any help is appreciated.

    So recently I downloaded this program called fences. Its bassically for sorting out your desktop and I tried to delete it with a program that said it would delete every data connected to this program. So I did it and it kinda worked. My computer does not recognize the progra anymore, however i can still see it if i swarch it in computer and file explorer. But when i go to settings and try to uninstall it it doesn't find it. I tried everything i also went to file explorer and found a file that unninstals the program but it just says that uninstall is unexecutable. So can anyone help me i don't know what to do anymore.

    TIL that AirPods Connect/Disconnect sound similar to their counterparts in Windows XP!

    Posted: 28 Feb 2021 07:45 AM PST

    Hi r/windows,

    My 1st post in this sub! I've had my AirPods Gen. 2 since last September, and each and every time I connected/disconnected them on my iPhone, the sound they made felt much familiar to me. Only today I realised this was because these sounds are almost similar to the Windows XP hardware connect/disconnect sounds. With a quick search, I couldn't find any reference online. Here you can conclude it on your own:

    AirPods Connect/Disconnect Effects: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5StFcpEBPDk

    Windows XP Hardware Connected Effect: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_asrCsKc9U

    Windows XP Hardware Disconnected Effect: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YLyG-C7H4ow

    What guys do you think about it? Interesting detail, isn't it?

    WiFi problem

    Posted: 28 Feb 2021 07:22 AM PST

    Hello! My WiFi for some reason in really bad and keeps disconnecting so I wiped my whole PC. Now it's even worse. I get max 20 mbps download and max 50 mbps upload. On my iPhone I get over 600 mbps on both upload and download. Does anyone know why? I have the latest version on windows 10. I've also tried multiple fixes I could find on Google but nothing sadly worked.
