So I installed Minecraft for windows 10 on my cousins laptop and I need to uninstall it wirelessly from my phone

Ever since my pc updated to The newest Windows 10 update, i have been having huge memory issues. Just writing this with only chrome, steam, my corsair CUE and Nvidia GeForce open i'm at about 96% RAM usage. When I am playing a game i am having stuttering issues where the game will freeze and the sound will skip for a second every minute or so. This is honestly making my computer unusable without me tearing my hair our in frustration. Does anyone have any tips on how to fix this? Thanks for any responses

Hey people, I need some help. I am going to be transferring Windows 10 from my old HDD to my new SSD soon and I know putting it back in the same computer will be fine but I am going to be building a whole new computer and putting the SSD in that at the end of this month. So I'm wondering if having an entire new computer with an already used version of Windows 10 will cause problems? Like the digital entitlement thing not recognizing my computer and me having to call Microsoft and explain stuff to them. I know Windows uses MAC addresses, and the DMI codes on the motherboard to know which computer is using the version of Win. 10 and if it is the right one. Will that cause issues? My friend changed everything about his prebuilt computer except CPU, GPU and storage and it worked perfectly fine. Mine is also prebuilt but I want to move the OS on an SSD to an entirely new PC I'm building. Feel free to ask any questions that could help you help me. Any help would be fantastic because I really don't want to spend $100 on a whole new OS, thanks!

I will be installing windows 7 on a new ssd then upgrading to windows 10 using their free upgrade. Anything i should do before I upgrade? (I heard there was something to do with nvidia cards, like uninstalling drivers) but I will be wiping everything when it prompts me to when upgrading.

I am planning on getting an ssd and I puting my operating system on it and some other files to make my pc faster. I am also planning on keeping my old harddrive as a place to store my games and other files. I was wondering if there was a way to transfer the os from the harddrive to the ssd and keep all my other files on the harddrive. If so how could I go about doing this so that I do not have to buy a new os.

Been on my computer for about 5 hours and installed power iso couple of days ago so i could use the virtual mount. I remembered I needed to reboot so I clicked start and Restart. As it booted up it came up with Inaccessible_Boot_Device and automatically tried rebooting and got into a loop of trying to boot then restarting. I've googled it and people are saying boot into safe mode but I can't even boot into safe mode. Any ideas? Cheers

Hello. So I am thinking of buying an ssd to my laptop. If I do that I would like to install fresh Windows (not copying it from current hdd). I understand that it is OEM so that will be little complicated. I am also wanting to upgrade to Windows 10 (after 29 July). I have heard that Windows 10 will be possible to fresh install...? Does the activation on Windows 10 working only after upgrade or can it be fresh installed and activated with my current Windows 8.1 OEM licence key? Or will there be some kind of Microsoft key exchange from upgradable Windows 7/8/8.1 key to Windows 10 key? What are the best options/ways to get new ssd with fresh installation of Windows 10?

I need a small wireless mechanical keyboard. It's going to basically be for my aunt to type on her Smart TV. Before anyone replies with "Why does it have to be mechanical?", I got my aunt to purchase a Cherry MX Blue keyboard and she loves it so much that Mechanical is all she wants to use. Any help would be appreciated. I'd like it to be high quality.

Today, I downloaded the new Windows 10 because "y nawt", right? So, I went and downloaded the ISO (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-download?ocid=tp_site_downloadpage). After looking everywhere for a usb thumbdrive, I couldn't find a suitable one, so I used an 8.5GB dvd instead. I booted off of the dvd, and then was met by the drive selection. I found out that I couldn't install it on a partition, so I had to take my backup drive, erase it, and "repurpose" it. So, yeah. The installer looked pretty much identical to the windows 8 one. As a 7 user, I was pleasantly surprised that not only did the packaged display driver actually work and give me 1080p resolution, but the packaged wireless adapter driver also worked. After the install, I immediatly danced a bit, and then started up internet explorer (EEWWWW!) and downloaded firefox and chrome canary (don't ask me why I downloaded both). As the firefox install was going down, the display flickered and did what Catalyst tends to do for me, which is put on some overscan. I went ahead and clicked on start, and found that windows had automatically downloaded and installed the Catalyst suite. SWEET! (Pun intended.) Of course, it was Catalyst 14.2, so I updated it to 14.9. Then, I downloaded all of the proper drivers. While not making it super obvious, Microsoft does say on the "Get the facts about Technical Preview" page, that windows 8 drivers should work correctly. On one last note, the windows 10 boot times are pretty fast, coming from someone who boots windows 7 on an SSD and 10 on a HDD. So, that concludes it. Windows 10 is great for people coming from windows 7 or 8 (I've used them both), as it combines the windows 7 UI with the windows 8 flat design and tiles, if you actually liked them. Should you download it? If you want to, sure, but just know that you need to know where to get and how to install drivers, and also how to install windows. Side Note: Any motherboard/cpu that was compatible with windows 8 will be compatible with windows 10. (AMD)

So I have a Quickfire TK keyboard which requires me to press the NUMLK in case I want to use a few keys such as delete insert, home etc... The BIOS for the Z77 MPOWER requires me to hit delete to access it but that's not possible with this keyboard since the NUMLK key is unresponsive outside of windows. In my 990FX Sabertooth either del or F2 would grant me access to the BIOS so I didn't have this issue before, on this board pressing F2 doesn't appear to be doing anything. Is there any alternative key to del that I should try ?

Where will technology be? Will HDDs be obsolete? Will the conventional console cease to exist? Will the Japanese lead a trend in which people date robots instead of people? :wacko: Give your insight and in a decade, @LinusTech can wipe the dust bunnies away from this thread, and we shall see who is the great LTT Fortune Teller (or lucky guesser)!
