Disappointments with Windows 10

XandorCan said:

I purchased a Samsung c27f396fnxza, they provided me with a downloadable installation program.
When I did, I've got the message "Parameter is incorrect"

That is an Samsung monitor, what installation program is that? Is that an software, an driver, or both?

I searched your third problem, and this is the following I see:

1. C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub_18.1910.1283.0_x64_Bw...\LocalBridge.exe
2. Drive Is Not Accessible. The Parameter Is Incorrect

If you've run a computer with Windows 7 for nine years, it's not time to install Windows 10.
It's time for a new computer.
And the list of problems would not have surfaced.

Not necessarily. Upgrading from W7 to W10 on my 11yo HP lappy gave it a new lease of life although it was probably the clean install that did the most good.

My System One below is a 10 years old Toshiba laptop, upgraded from it's OEM Windows 7 to Windows 10 in August 2015 then upgraded through every version up to its current 21H2. Runs Win10 better than it ever ran its original Win7.

I have bought its replacement now, but only because it's hardware is not supported for running Windows 11.

I have a 10 year old Toshiba laptop that I replaced the original HDD with an SSD and it runs Win10 with no problems

Mine is still on a spinner.

So is mine, and its still got its original HDD from 2011. I'm determined to keep abusing it until it grinds to a halt, but at three and a half years of active run time it's proving remarkably difficult to kill

That's impressive.

@Bree, how can I access that info for my HD, software ? Thanks !

That info, and much more, is in the S.M.A.R.T. data of your hard drive. CrystalDiskInfo is one app you can use to read that. I used the Portable apps version.

For #3 on the first post, the only times [just a few] I installed the software that came with a monitor was for its color-matching/adjusting for folks that worked a lot with graphics, otherwise software was not needed as long as VGA, DVI, DisplayPorts and HDMI were suitably installed in Device Manager as provided on the motherboard or an Add-in card.
