How to update a windows 7 to 10 on a Intel NUC with only 32gb of mSATA of SSD. The effective memory space of the SSD is about 28gb. I do have an USB external HDD which I use as a bootup disc/installer, but the limited SSD space in the NUC is a challenge.
What is the best way to proceed? How much space do I have to free up in the old Windows 7 so the installation will proceed properly??
For those people who CLEAN installed Win 10 using the Media Creation Tool, will it automatically update to Threshold-2 (version 1511 Build 10586.36) through Windows Update once installation had been completed? Or does that have to downloaded separately?
And what is the "KB" Number for version 1511 Threshold-2?
Just bought a new laptop for my wife, it's an HP Stream 11. It is suitable for her light needs, basically web browsing and some light document work, word processing etc. She's not even going to store music or photos on there. A few very light files only. So it comes with 8.1 and I think, awesome, I can install 10 straight away (I've not used 10 yet so was quite excited by this).
However when trying to install it's telling me I'm about 2 gig short of enough space for 10. I have about 9 gig free and it wants about 11. The hard drive is 20 gig. I've installed Windows 8.1, removed a shedload of apps she doesn't need, removed some programs that she doesn't need (for example McAfee) and I'm at the stage where there's literally nothing on there but an 8.1 that is as barebones as I think I can make it. Looking at the programs installed, even if I removed Office and some HP crap, it will only get me another 500 MB. Is Windows 10 on this PC simply not possible?
Does it need the space just for the install process itself? Or on an ongoing basis? Because I have a hard drive I can plug in, in the short term, but she's not going to want it attached forever as it will be a little unwieldy for a laptop!
how can I install Windows 10, that it uses the less disc space, it can? My problem is, that I have laptop with 64 GB SSD, and after upgrading (from windows 8.1) to Windows 10, the used space is more than 35 GB, so now I have a very little free disc space now.

View 2 RepliesIn ADMIN TOOLS|COMPUTER MGMT|DISK MGMT the following are listed...
C: 952 GB
"healthy recovery partition" 450 MB (the box is shaded)
"healthy recovery partition" 449 MB
D: 909 GB
How can I get rid of the recovery partitions (or at least one, if the other is required) and reclaim the unused space for C: ?
I have a Dell Venue 8 Pro with an upgraded Windows 10 installed. Always perform Windows Update but did not pay attention too closely. When the drive space was low and started looking a little bit closer, I found out that I have several Recovery Partitions. From Disk Management display, from left to right are the partitions:
500MB EFI | 40 MB OEM | 490 MB Recovery | C: OS 22.8 GB | 450 MB Recovery | 4.75 GB Recovery
The problem is I do not know which partition that Windows 10 actually created as its Recovery Partition. I do know that the 4.75 GB partition is my original Dell Venue 8 Pro Recovery Partition. Which one can I remove to allow the expansion of my C drive? What gives?
I tried the TP when it initially came out, and while it was certainly an improvement over 8.x, it had some issues that made me go back to 8.
The most glaring one was the forced update function. Oftentimes, I'd postpone the updating because I was in the middle of something, and then Windows would simply power down on me later at an equally inconvenient time. I hope the idiots in Redmond don't include this in the final product.
I found a couple of registry tweaks online that were supposed to remove the forced updating, but neither of them worked.
As always, I like to run up-to-date systems, but I prefer to decide for myself when to run updates.
Halfway through the installation, it reverted back to 8.1, and I got this message. [URL] .... The troubleshooting tips leads to [URL] ...., which is useless, and this has happened three times. What do I do?
I already tried disabling my antivirus and all startup programs but that didn't work. Windows 8.1 Enterprise, Lenovo Thinkpad...
A friend of mine is trying to upgrade his PC using ISO but he keeps getting an error that keeps restoring his PC back to Win8.1. His words "it finishes the install, gets to the copying files stage., then after a while it starts restoring my windows 8.1 back." He sent me a screenshot of the error but for reasons I don't know, Tapa Talk isn't allowing me to send the image. The error code on the screenshot is 0x8007000E-0x2000C with the message "The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during APPLY_IMAGE operation."
View 1 RepliesI have the Administrator account on my computer. I am the only User, no other accounts have been made. So why is it from time to time I find I am blocked from doing something as I do not have permission? Who else but me fas permission? Examples include permission refused for accessing a particular file (not one requiring a password, which would be understandable) and particularly being refused to permission to save somewhere (nowhere 'special') so I have to save to a folder other than the one I had chosen, or selected by an app.
Also, as I am also always the Administrator, why do I have to opt in to what I am in the first place as with Cmd prompt? I used to get apps not launching because I was Administrator, and the only way out I discovered was to reset.
i'd just fresh install win10 pro 64bit and my only 3.21gb of ram usable out of 8gb..

After installing windows 10 preview I can't connect to Internet? No problem connecting access point but no connection to Internet. Installed on a Dell laptop.
View 19 RepliesI am using a D-Link DWA-160 Xtreme Dual Band USB Adapter into a NetGear Router. I have three Win 10 machines connected two of which are just fine. The third is displaying "Limited Access". After doing all the normal substitution things without effect I did a System Restore. I was immediately able to connect for about five minutes and then got "Limited Access" again. I undid the the System Restore and got the same result. Connected as soon as the roll back was completed but then went back to Limited Access.
View 4 RepliesI've installed windows 10, but I've got a strange problem. My WiFi connection randomly gets limited for one second. It isn't so bad, when I'm browsing, but if I wanna download something... that's terrible :S 'cause when the wifi stops, the download stops too... What can I do? I think it's not my laptops problem, because before win10 - on windows 8.1 - it worked fine. If it matters something, it gets limited in about every 5 or 10 minutes.
View 9 RepliesI downloaded windows 10 the first day I was able to access the internet. Now it's saying its limited. I troubleshooted and it says it does not have valid IP configuration and in the wireless connection it says unidentified network. It says public network shouldn't it be on private? Need straightening this out. Like I said it worked fine one day and now its says no interternt and limited. Sigh.
View 15 RepliesSince updating to Windows 10 I have lost many of the normal graphics found on pages and on my browsers. The color is blue and some boxes that require a check are not visible unless you happen to run your mouse over them. Internet Explorer and Firefox have also lost most of the graphics; now all the artwork on the pages look like just bare bone versions of the pages when I saw them on Windows 7! This is affecting both my PC and my laptop!
View 1 RepliesSo I installed Windows 10 3 days ago via the USB provided by Microsoft through purchase on their online store. Since the install I have found that my WiFi connection, on startup, will work for maybe 2 minutes before dropping down to "Limited" and occasionally disconnecting entirely.
My PC is custom built and has worked perfectly fine for the almost 2 years I've had it. I've tried everything from resetting the router, having my ISP replace the router, uninstalling my Wireless Adapter from the Device Manager tool, installing the latest driver updates (Windows 8 for Rosewill RNX-N250PCe) and even running the ipconfig release/renew (which didn't release for some reason.)
I'm using my lumia 625 (which has windows phone 10 build 10536) to connect my laptop (windows 10 too) to the internet using bluetooth (less battery consuming & has smaller rang = more security) , the problem that i'm facing is that I can't set my connection as limited like wifi connections. I have always automatic updates and I only have a very limited bandwidth. And is there any tool usb tether my phone to my laptop?
View 2 RepliesSo i was accessing the internet fine on my computer no more than an hour ago on the same network im on my laptop now with and then i restarted my computer and it give me limited access and i cannot connect to the internet. I reinstalled my wifi card driver and that didn't work. The Network and Internet troubleshooter said it was the driver and could not fix the problem itself.
My wifi card is a TP-LINK TL-WDN4800.
Basically every time I turn on my laptop (1year old) , after a while (1 hour or even 5 minutes), connection turns limited on every other device in my house! The only thing I can do is to turn off and on my modem.
It ONLY happen with my notebook. I have tried to update/reinstall the Wi-Fi drivers, I formatted a couple of times, I even asked HP to look at it and they replaced my wireless card.. Nothing seems to work. I even purchased an external Wi-Fi adapter, and even with that, after 3-4 hours I had limited connectivity!
Computer's model is HP 15 r117nl, windows 10
I updated to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1
Connection to Internet through Wi-Fi is not happening after that though it is happening via LAN Cable.
Whenever I try to connect through Wi-Fi it gets stuck showing Limited Connectivity and No Internet Access.
I went through some threads and found that it can be solved by disabling "Block Internet Connection Sharing" setting in Bit Defender but I am not using Bit Defender.
I am using Windows Defender instead and am not able to find such setting in that.
So, my wireless router went out on me yesterday during a thunderstorm, which I replaced today. My desktop will not connect to the wireless network at all. I have it connected right now, through my cellphone's hot spot. Also, I can connect my phone to the wireless network as well as a different desktop and get internet access, which suggests something wrong with this desktop, I would imagine.
Network Adapters:
ASUS PCE-N10 11n Wireless LAN PCI-E Card
Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet
I'm sure some additional information may be needed but I'm not sure what you would need, so I'll gladly provide what I can if needed.
I've just updated to 10 after getting my computer back up after moving, and for the most part have really been liking it. Here are a couple of the more annoying issues I've been having:
1) Every time I restart/shut down/reboot my computer, upon logging into windows my Wi-Fi has 'limited' connectivity to my router. I use a belkin USB wi-fi adapter, and have been for years with no issues like this. Windows 10 is the only new guy to the party. The only way I'm able to get it to work is to click disconnect, wait a few seconds, then click connect.
2) I can only run my Outlook 10 as administrator, which you can't do from icons on the task bar, and which also blocks some functionality within the program. When I try to run it w/out administrator it says I don't have permission to access one of my email addresses' .pst folder (yahoo). No error when I run as administrator, though.
My Internet through ethernet and wifi were both working fine yesterday and now nothing..
I've tried troubleshooting, Driver installs, ip config, firewall settings, and spent hours reading forums but just can't sort it.
Hp pavilion laptop.
The Win 10 background colors are very limited, I want a dark blue background. Is there a way to change that?
