It always surprises me how old some of the members are here(I'll be 50 next month). Then I have to smile when a new member comes and says "I'm 60 and don't know much so walk me through2, or, "I had to... for my parents". It has nothing to do with age, it has to do with experience. Many of todays youth are not interested or care how how an OS works, so know even less in my experience. I will help, but age is not an excuse.:)
You are right Cliff, the Millennials just what to make sure that Facebook is working, they can care less about the system that makes FB work.
No I have to agree with that, I am 65 and been playing on computers since I was 30. I ran all kinds of OS's since those early years. I can remember when myself and one other person where I worked were the only two people with a computer back then. So I have some experience with computers, but not to the level of a lot of you folks!! I can take them apart, build a home brewed system from parts, but that is completely different than knowing all the in's and outs of the OS it self. That's where you guys that have spent many hours learning the insides of their OS and all the tweaks and config settings have a lot more knowledge than this "young man" which I do respect. Also some of you actually had schooling and IT experience, etc....cause it was part of your job maybe.....which makes you folks know far more than I ever will, and I have no problem admitting that. :)
Okay, I have a small problem:
I just recovered a botched W10 upgrade back to W8.0 using the recovery partition on an Asus desktop. I've installed almost all the 173+ windows updates, and now I've got Macrium on here to make an image of the work completed before I proceed to W8.1 and then W10. The problem is, Marcium is not seeing the 500GB Maxtor external HDD to put an image on it! Anyone know why?
Edit: Solved. I ran a chkdsk on it, fixed quite a few errors, and now it's there. Probably shouldn't be using this disk for images, but it's all I have access to ATM...

Yesterday I upgraded an 8.1 PC to 10. Right after the upgrade I wiped it out and did a clean install of 10 with the new license after upgrade. It's always nice to start fresh with a new OS. A good time to get rid of all the crap over time. Then I imaged a fresh install. I will create another image later when programs are installed.
