Three times I have tried to go from my legit win7 to win10 but it fails C1900101-20017 - so I cannot get win10. I can do a clean install via the downloaded iSO but obviously cannot get it activated becuase I do not have a win10 key. From what I have read there are two relatively weak issues by...

Thanks - yes everything is up to date

A neighbour of mine has just bought a PC loaded with Win7 Professional 64 bit – I look after it for her and it up to date. She has an issue re importing photos from a camera SD card. When the card is inserted a window launches offering choices of 'opening' the card – she uses the Import...

I'm going to have to install a larger HD and looking at using Clonezilla to do the image/restore. I am confident this will work but will there be an issue with the licence - in terms of the software suddenly sitting on an HD with a different UUID? There are lots of info on the web about...

Apologies if this is the wrong forum. I have a number of folders in which there are various files - mainly Word and Excel but the are a small number of Project files. In all, I'm talking about approx 800 files. Is there a utility that I could use that will batch change all these files to be...

It's strange - the whole 'thing' got worst and then sort of packed up. The factory restore disks would not play and when I tried to install my win7 dis it paced up after loading files into RAM -told me something was wrong with the HD. I booted to a Linux OS to do some digging to be told of a HD...

Thanks - I have 3gb memory installed. I have tried all the things in Linney's post but still no joy. I have spoken to my friend who has given me the OK to do a rebuild. I have spend quite a few hours already on this and the more I google the more 'avenues' I go down - been here before with...

A friend has asked me to look at his win 7 laptop that will not boot - although my limited knowledge is on winXP, not 7. I have discovered that the machine does boot but very slowly. I have updated all the drivers on the machine, completed all the ms updates and checked spyware/virus with up...

bump

I thought of using Clonezilla to backup D where my winxp data is onto my backup 2nd HD. Then delete and merge all three ntfs partitions in to one large partition. Then use Clonezilla to copy D back to my new large ntfs partition on HD 1. Is this a good/stupid strategy or is there...

I have four partitions, in order - ntfs (data storage - empty), ntfs (winxp), ntfs (data storage - empty) and Linux on my dual boot machine. I am running out of space on my winxp partition and decided(!) to make it larger by merging with the other two ntfs partitions.(Actually I have a 2nd HD...

Thanks. Yes, I could replace the cable modem with a wireless model but .......... is there another alternative? Is there something that can be plugged into an ethernet port that will give wifi connectivity?

Sorry if this is the wrong forum. A friend wants to buy laptop with WIFI to access the Internet. Problem is he only has a cable type modem (currently hardwired to a desktop PC). Assuming the modem has a free Ethernet port is there any hardware he can plug into the ethernet port to provide...

Apologies if this is not the right forum. Is it possible, on a winxp PC, to configure IE or Firefox such that it can only access a single web address. For example, no matter what you do you can only access www.hotmail.co.uk?

I have touched this problem before but never resolved. 8 out of 10 times (10 out of 10 at the moment)XP has to go through the Safe mode run before it launches to Desktop. I have replaced HD with new, got rid of all USB devices, and time and again rebuilt XP partitions. (I have three separate...
