I recently purchased a Thinkpad T490 with the base 128GB NVMe PCIe, and planned to upgrade it myself to save some money. For the upgrade I purchased the Silicon Power 512GB A80 NVMe PCIe Gen3x4 SSD https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-512GB-Gen3x4-SU512GBP34A80M28AB/dp/B07L6DKM8V/ According to the platform specifications ( https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad%20T490/ThinkPad_T490_Platform_Specifications.pdf ) this drive should be fully compatible with my system. Once the larger 512GB drive arrived I removed the original 128GB drive and installed the new one in its place. The drive was detected properly in the BIOS, so I created a Windows 10 install USB using the Windows 10 Media Creation tool, plugged it in and began the install process. Unfortunately, the Windows 10 installer did not detect the installed 512GB drive. After quitting out of the installer and restarting the laptop I entered the BIOS again and the 512GB drive was no longer listed. I then loaded optimized defaults in the BIOS and restarted my computer again, after the restart the 512GB drive was once again listed in the BIOS. I have tried all sorts of BIOS settings and tried installing the IRST drivers during the Windows 10 install setup, but nothing has caused the drive to be detected by the Windows 10 installer. Does anyone have any insights or advice on how to fix this problem?

I've just built a PC and it boots perfectly well into the bios system, but when I try to boot the windows 10 installation media from a usb drive the screen goes black and it just keeps running. Pressing the off button on the chassi doesn't seem to work, and as the usb seems to take priority as a boot option, getting into the bios with the usb stick doesn't work. All of the hardware is detected in the bios and works well. If it helps, the monitor doesn't seem to to get a signal from the GPU when the PC is booted with the usb-drive. Specs: usb drive: Kingston data traveler 64gb CPU: intel i5 12400F (stock cooler) GPU: rtx 3060 ti Storage: Samsung 980 nvme m.2 ssd 1tb RAM: Corsair vengeance 2x8gb PSU: Be quiet! system power 10 750W motherboard: Gigabyte b660 ds3h DDR4 Chassi: Corsair 4000D airflow

Hello! I'm going to upgrade my motherboard from LGA 1151 to AM4 and I need to know some things before I reinstall windows... ( I have windows 10 FPP licence) Do I need to first deactivate and uninstall windows product key from my current PC before I can reinstall it to another PC? Or do I just simply install the new motherboard and CPU and install windows and reuse the product key without deactivating it from my current PC? OR Do I just do nothing --> upgrade the motherboard and CPU and just plug the drive that has windows installed? (no formatting, reinstalling windows or reusing the product key) Thank you!

I finally bought a Samsung 860EVO SSD to upgrade my computer form a HDD to an SSD. I have an Asus Maximus Hero VII MOBO but when I use the USB I have for installing windows, windows setup shows an error about lacking drivers. USB drive is working fine on other computers, SATA is set to AHCI. and I can't seem to find a driver on Samsung's website. If I stick the drive on a running windows machine it shows up correctly in drive manager and it also shows up in the BIOS. Can you help me fix this, please?

So I've had Windows 10 on my laptop before and it can install 7/8. and the technical preview for w10. but for some reason now when I do Windows 10 itself it BSOD's on setup and says "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". It's a pretty old PC but it does support SSE2/PAE/NX as required. It has 2GB of ram and it's 32bit. This is v1803 directly from Microsoft. Is there some new limit on my hardware? If so can I get an old version somewhere?

I work as a repair tech and one issue I've seen time and time again is when needing to reinstall Windows 10 on a customer's computer, sometimes after the install and the computer reboots to open the initial setup; the computer will just sit at a black screen. The monitor will be lit up but nothing will ever open. This happens frequently on older desktops designed to run Windows 7, all with known good hardware that was running windows moments earlier. Has anyone come across a fix for this? My only thought is it could be a bad graphics driver or something. Usually the work-around I found that works is using another computer to install and setup the OS and than just moving the hard drive back to the original host pc. Maybe I should just have a hard drive with a fresh install that I can clone from lol

I have Windows 7 Pro and am trying to upgrade to Windows 10.

Long story; I started by making sure there was enough hard drive space available for the upgrade and there was 105 gigabytes free, I proceeded by attempting to use everybody's favorite Windows 10 upgrade notification box that lives in the taskbar(whilst on Windows 7)and everything went pretty smoothly there until the computer needed to reboot. After the reboot it failed the upgrade repeatedly(about 6 times)so I decided I should check for programs that may be installed that could somehow be conflicting. After the removal of many things nothing changed and I tried to install off of a USB using Microsoft Media Creation Tool, and this also was a failure but gave me a completely different error report. Spending some time browsing forums I found other folk having the same problem, except their solution was to unplug all their external devices that weren't vital for operation, and when I preformed this tip it didn't help whatsoever. My next action was trying the USB method of install again but this time not as an upgrade but as a clean install. I completely wiped my OS drive and gave Windows 10 the go ahead to take it for itself... But somehow it managed to find something to complain about and gave me another new error. I retried this many times, same outcome. Then I reinstalled Windows 7 and started setting it up for basic and minimal operation, then initiated windows updates. I'd say about 90% of those updates failed(most of them labeled as Important) then the Windows 10 upgrade notification never came up even after being "up to date" according to Windows Update. So I went back to the USB method, deleted Windows 7, removed my sound card, wifi adapter and 8 gigabytes of RAM with no change at all. Even tried using the ISO option and burning that to my flash-drive but then it wouldn't even run at all. So that's where it sits, no OS installed and me pretty frustrated after 48 hours of this.

I am a repair tech at a small computer repair shop and a customers laptop (HP C2M71UA#ABA) died during a power outage corrupting the file system. I have run check disk and tried various recovery options to no avail. so now I am re-imaging the machine. Every time I attempt to install windows it gives me the, a required drier is missing, error. I have fixed this before by simply attaching a disk drive with noting in it and it works. it is stupid that that is a fix but what ever. What I have done to try to fix the problem: -Enabled and disable secure boot in the BIOS, no change -Enabled and disabled legacy support in the BIOS, no change -Attach a empty disk drive -download and extract all the drivers for the laptop on to the Windows 10 flash drive -download and extract all the drivers to a DVD/R and put it in the disk drive -All drivers are in the compressed and uncompressed format -check disk the Windows 10 install flash drive -use the flash drive on a different computer and it installs windows just fine What I know: -No drivers are missing -The install media is not corrupt -all files are visible on the disk and Install media (Windows 10 Flash-drive) I have been fighting with this thing for two days what is going wrong?

I was wondering how I might do a complete fresh install of windows 10 on a new SSD. You see I'm thinking of getting a higher capacaity SSD one day, to what i currently have. However I only have a windows 7 disk and obviously upgraded via the the free software update thing. I mean I could just do it via the windows 7 disk again and just claim my free upgrade, but the by the time I get a new SSD the free windows 10 would have gone. (it only lasts a year I beleive) I mean I've heard of things like cloning hardrives but i'd rather just do a completly new install. Is there any way I can still get windows 10 on a new system / SSD in a few years for free? Or would i need to buy a new windows 10 disk? Any tips are appreciated.

So I've tried installing windows 10 many times and every time it gets to 32% (sometimes its only there for a min but others it stays there for 5+min) and I get a blue screen with a sad face that says that there was an error installing windows 10 and that it was collecting information and it would then restart back to my previous version of windows. The blue screen also displayed the message in the title of this post, DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. It has done this every time I have tried to install windows 10. My drivers are all up to date. I read on a forum that uninstalling gpu drivers and gpu for installation would fix it for some people but that didn't for me. I've spend ages trying to find a solution but have had no luck. Also some friends that have similar hardware to me have had no problems installing windows 10 Currently running windows 7 pro 64bit. If anyone has experienced this and has a solution to it or might know how to solve this problem please leave your ideas on this post. Thanks. Edit: Just remember something I should add. Sometime when I'm on my pc (since the windows 10 release) I can see the windows update symbol in the bottom right and it says it is downloading an update but I have no way of stopping it.
