It is not clearly stated in either the EULA or the FAQs that you can't have both. It just gives the regular upgrade procedure but does not mention dual booting anywhere. Granted, without using this...
I doubt I'm violating anything but we'll see what happens. They said the machine was eligible to receive Windows 10 free and that's just what happened. I never saw anything that said you couldn't...
I used this method to clean install Win 10 in a dual boot configuration with Win 7. I copied the file from my Win 10 DVD (I will not use USB booting), ran it on the Windows 7 desktop, then copied the...
Some software will still report it is running on 8 or 8.1. It's nothing to worry about if everything works. They just need to update their programs.
Yes, I'm still using the 9.20 version on all my machines.
If you're installing to the same drive and partition it might work. I have an HP laptop with a pre-installed version of Windows 7. I got a downloaded Win 7 ISO and thought I could use that to do a...
You're welcome. I'm glad it worked for you.
A clean install of Win 10 on any machine having an earlier version will not activate. You have to do the upgrade first and then do a clean install if you want. It doesn't matter if it's OEM or not....
A fix that has worked for many people is to go in Device Manager and under "IDE ATA/Atapi controllers", delete both the channel 0 and channel 1 entries by uninstalling them. Then reboot the...
Incorrect, I used Auslogics and fixed every error it found. Absolutely no problems resulted. I use it on the max settings as well. Of course it made backups but I never had to use them.
In the latest testing by AV-Test, Windows Defender did much better. It even beat or was equal to several third party AV's. Equal to Ahn labs and Comodo and better than something called Quick heal. It...
Okay you have a very old integrated Nvidia card that Windows 10 probably doesn't recognize. You need to somehow get Nvidia drivers for it and that will solve the problem. Windows 8 or even 7 drivers...
I have an Enterprise copy of Office 2007 that installs and updates on any PC with no key needed. I'll stick with that.
Nobody is defending it. They're just giving ways to get around it. You're right. You can't stop driver installation during install and first boot. After that, however, things can be fixed.
The native resolution of the monitor, whatever it is, should appear in the options with (Recommended) next to it. Make sure you're scrolling through all of the options. It has to be there.

It's very easy to turn off driver updates. I haven't received a single one since upgrading to 10.
That's what I do. Every month after Update Tuesday. System Restore is also turned off. All automatic stuff like imaging, defrag, and virus scans are also turned off. Hibernation is off as well.
I agree completely. The performance difference is imperceptible if done regularly, but do it on a system that hasn't been cleaned for years and you notice a difference immediately.
I agree about Iobit and Baidu but Auslogics has fine products. I used to use their defragger until I found Puran, which is better. I now use their registry cleaner on the highest settings about once...
Like it or not, advertising is what keeps the internet free, The programs are not written for the purpose of collecting data, they are made for the things they are used for, but, they have to be...
I run the registry cleaning of CCleaner on a regular basis and have never had a problem. I trust it so much, I always say no to the backup. I tried Revo and guess what, it didn't do anything more...
What I would do is completely get rid of afterburner and any and all other tweaking or overclocking stuff and run the card at stock settings. That would probably eliminate the problems.
It's interesting that people running the latest preview build of Win 10 are reporting no problems with this update.
If your monitors are hooked up with HDMI, then the system uses the audio drivers included in the graphics driver. If you can, try using a DVI connection for the video and plug the speakers into the...
