View 12 RepliesUpgrade And Clean Install - Making D Boot Drive
Aug 11, 2015I just upgraded to Windows 10 and I would like to do a clean install. However My PC has a 1tb HDD as the C: drive and a secondary 25gb SSD drive called D:. I was wondering if there is a way to install the OS on the D: drive. I have done OS installs before so I am somewhat familiar with the procedure. I also already have a Windows 10 install USB set up. I just can't get it to offer the option of which drive to install on. The D: drive does currently have a folder on it labeled Drivers and in that folder there 14 folders such as Bluetooth, WLAN , and Card reader. Is this going to be an issue when installing Windows 10 on the D: drive or will Windows re-download these drivers itself?
View 1 RepliesUpgrading On Different Hard Drive
Jul 28, 2015So, I currently have Windows 7 installed in a standard HDD and I bought an SSD a while ago with intentions of reinstalling windows on it. With the Windows 10 update coming in tomorrow, I was wondering if I could install the Windows 10 update on the SSD. Even if it's just installing it on the current HDD I have and then doing a clean install on an SSD. Point is, I want to know if there is any way I can have Windows 10 running on my SSD after tomorrow.

Nov 14, 2015I have 2 hard drives in my pc. The first one is 80GB and the second one is 1TB. I have windows 7 on the 80GB drive. I want to upgrade to Windows 10 but at the same time I want it to be on the 1TB hard drive instead. Therefore I'd like for there to be no Windows software on the 80GB drive and Windows 10 on the 1TB drive.

Oct 20, 2015My DVD drive worked fine in Win7, and still works fine if I boot from it, but since upgrading to Win10 I can't access any disk in it. File Explorer "sees" my G drive, but when I want to look at a disk it tells me to insert a disk. Device manager told me that my drive was a virtual clone drive, so I removed it and deleted the driver, and now I don't see any optical drives. I can't find the model number of the LG drive, so I can't download a suitable driver.

Jan 16, 2016A long while ago I downloaded SymMover and managed to really mess up my files. I managed to take Favorites, Desktop, and Downloads out of what I'm pretty sure is called the Navigation Pane. I have 2 different Download folders in the Pane, neither of which are the actual one, and I do not know where my Desktop folder is. I can get to it if I follow a link in my User file, but that's it.

Indexing Options Vanished (after 10586 In Place Repair Install)
Dec 27, 2015I don't use Windows search normally, but today had reason to look for Indexing Options in the CP. No sign. Yes, things are being indexed. Yes, the service is running.
So could I invoke Indexing Options some other way?
control.exe srchadmin.dll
- nothing.
Now when I looked for srchadmin.dll, I only found this in Windows.old. Really?
control.exe <path to windows.old...>srchadmin.dll opened indexing options.
is this dll missing a consequence of having done an in place upgrade install?
