Thanks.
I had an issue withWinRAR (it was a while ago, but still...) so I'm a little reluctant to use it, but I downloaded the free trial (20 free uses) version of Protected Folder, and on first...

Thanks. Many of the files aren't text-type files: things like configuration files, graphics, executables, etc., so don't think .PDF would work, though I admit, I hadn't thought about that!
I have an external USB hard drive on which I'd like to password protect some folders/files, but be able to access from multiple computers. As I understand Windows encryption, that will only work for...
That was over a year ago, so you're really testing my memory. LOL
I *think* the location was in the link in dalchina's post: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control and the...
Before re-installing Win10 Pro (20H2, v.2) last night my AirPods Pro worked like a charm: clear sound, full range from treble to bass. I could use the squeeze/tap functions to pause audio, jump...
THANK YOU! That's exactly what I needed.
I already tried futzing with the Registry entry that determines icon spacing on the Desktop and it didn't seem to influence the Explorer spacing, so not sure if that third party tool would work. ...
It seems like something changed in the past day or two to add line spacing when in List View in Explorer. Not sure if it's quite double-spacing, but there definitely is more vertical space between...
Yeah, but hope springs eternal. :-)
This time I'm trying it a different way. I went to the microsoft.com software-download web page and clicked on "Update now," rather than trying from a USB...
See my edited post just above your last one: I was able to install the July 2015 version of Win10 Pro x86 on to the Acer laptop, with the intent to ASAP upgrade to v.1903 (which was where this...
Sweet holy mother. After being stuck in a loop three times, *after* posting the below novella, I tried again. So, this fourth time it proceeded on to "installing features," and all is well in the...

That's the mystery, isn't it? And, that would be why it's not bootable, no? It's just one big happy NTFS partition.

My Acer's BIOS is v.S3B09. I googled for 3B14 and couldn't find it. Do you have a link to a download site?
BIOS definitely recognizes the HDD, and the Boot tab has it in the...
Yes, that's an accurate description of my Acer's BIOS. It does recognize the HDD, it gives the model number & serial number (?). BIOS is currently set with hard drive at the top. When I press...
Thanks. I didn't realize two computer configurations could be stored. I'm updating that now.
I don't have one drive, drop box or google drive, nor am I motivated to investigate getting...
When I booted up today, I had disconnected an external hard drive, so drive letters were assigned differently:
- D: is now the source of install.esd
- E: is now the Acer laptop HDD connected to...
Thanks, Fafhrd. It took me reading a couple times to fully grasp the task, but actually it is fairly simple.
With the Acer HDD attached to my main computer via a USB-SATA adapter and formatted as...
Thanks, again, Bree. I'm halfway through a download of v.1809, so I'll just let that finish and try it anyway. BTW, I found a video with an interesting method of downloading previous (up to the...
Thanks, Bree for those two ideas. My mind is spinning from trying every permutation of each variable I can think of. Thank heavens I'm retired and can spend time on such endeavors.
I'm probably...
I have a Travelmate 3004 (Pentium M760, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD) notebook which had Win10 Pro x86 (original release) that I wanted to update to v.1903.
I first tried an in-place upgrade using the .ISO...
I threw in the towel and wiped the hard drive to do a fresh Win10 installation. There were just too many little things that didn't work, like not being able to add a new user -- I thought I'd try a...
I have now successfully to Win10 Home v.1903. However my ability to connect to web sites remains as in the opening post. e.g. I still can ping 98.137.246.8 but I cannot ping yahoo.com.
There...
Now that I've resolved updating from a USB stick, I've marked the thread "Solved." With any luck I'll have internet access after the update and can mark the other thread solved as well. <fingers...
No, I'm not letting it check for updates since I don't have internet access. The very first time, I left the setting to check for updates at the default "check now" and all it did was add a...
Well, I know it says the problem was resolved in July, but...
Just downloaded a fresh version of the MediaCreationTool to create a new USB stick and *still* get the pop-up saying my PC can't run...
