I'm gonna have to boot a system to Kyhi's rescue media to help you locate some things, so please give me a few.
okay thanks
Sorry, it's gonna take me a little longer than expected. MS, in their infinite wisdom, have updates installing upon shutdown.......
LOL no thats fine...I have to go and sort out some other things - back later
Check hard drive health:
In Kyhi's rescue environment, open File Manager (the yellow folder icon in the taskbar).
Go to This PC.
Select Boot(X:)
Select Program Files
Select speccy folder
Run SPECCY.EXE
In Speccy, click Storage on the left.
Look at the right panel, scroll down for S.M.A.R.T. status for each drive.
Status should be "GOOD". If it's "WARNING" then we know we have a problem.
Please advise results for this before doing anything else.
Hi Squibbler,
No need to worry about an activation key. Once you activated the upgrade it was essentially locked in with Microsoft.
See here:https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...-10-activation
I was thinking maybe to un-RAID0 them, back to a single, but.........
How do I revert from using RAID0 to normal HDD use? - Storage
