Will give it a go thanks Simrick, I presume it will work for Win 7 as well.

I'm not sure if the message above is related to me, but as I don't like using my browser for mail (the private one is not on browser anyway) I just wondered why I can't unsync them.

lol Is that about all I can do?

well I used the desktop 95% of the time - I only use the notebook or ipad if I am away from home overnight. So there is no way I can unsync them?

It didnt take THAT long to instal, but I did it in stages over the past 2 days. Win10 is now installed - it made no reference to Win 7. I hope my daughter will be able to change my address to...

Ok - I'll need all the luck I can get - thank you!!!!

Thans Simrick, I know I would have put my papers and disks for Toshiba in a safe place, so maybe they didn't actually send me one. I'll give your suggestion a go after dinner - fingers crossed! ...

I have now made a backup copy of windows 10 on a disc. It seemed the best thing to do given all the problems I'd had. Plus a clean reinstal.

Because I could not find the original disc for...

When I first set up this thread, I had already had at least 2 goes at trying to instal W10 -- whether they are still on this notebook I have no idea, but I really would like to get rid of any traces...

I still have 3 folders on desktop - what do I do with them?
Win10_1511_1_English_x64
7-Zip
7z1500-x64

I cant find a folder C:\Users\Judy\Desktop so will await your reply before...

So what now, if an error has been made, do I delete something first?

I must confess I didn't do the check prior. Geez I cant even get CMD right - it says. "Cannot lock current drive.
Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you...

I got the same error message when I double clicked on setup.exe. I do not have a file called Windows.iso anywhere on the notebook :(

Got to setup and a message came up - The file 'autorun.dll' could not be loaded or is corrupt. Setup cannot continue. Errr code is (0x7E)

Sure - it is entitled Win10_1511_1Englishx64 and seems to be a disc image file ( I may have mentioned this before)

I tried to attach it but as its 4310.660kbs, it wont load. When I click on it...

Not going too good. The copy of w10 I transferred from docs to desktop is actually to burn :(
I downloaded 7 zip and where you said to run setup files, I get a different window. I really think I...

Well the download saved itself to downloads, I copied it across to desktop but don't know if it will work. I looked at the video, it was a bit intimidating. I didn't see "MOUNT" the ISO :(. ...

All downloaded. I've come to a drastic halt, and I know why. First I dont have a spare cd - I presume that is required for a dis burner, and currently my portable disc drive wont work bvecause I...

Will do, thanks. Sleep well!

Thanks Simrick - no hurry - and thanks again. It still has a way to go yet, downloading

First question, I went into that site but could not find what you suggested

Thanks Simrick - will give it a go - I can't understand the abbreviations but no doubt I'll find them when I look at the tutorial.

Make yourself a Windows 10 installation USB flash drive or DVD: I don't have either of these at the moment.

Am sending snapshot of two files for you to look at. The windows 10 was downloading a...

Currently using desktop. Yesterday I downloaded W10 on my notebook (it had been in order for me to do so). After many hours, and updating, I thought I'd have W10 working, but amongst the updates...
