I recently upgraded to windows 10 on my laptop, But now I am buying a SSD to swap out and I wanna do a fresh install of 10 but is there a way to get my current windows 10 key off of it or?
View 1 RepliesNew build. From a fresh install of windows 10 i try to install the drver for my IGPU Intel HD 530. each time i do that i get a BSOD with this message:
VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE igdkmd64.sys
Or sometimes it's
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXEPTION_NOT_HANDELED igdkmd64.sys
I've tried drivers from motherboard manufacturer CD, website and intel and some autodetect driver software. I always get the same behavior:
The screen start blinking several time ( black screen) before showing the BSOD then reboot and repeat it self. Even the driver downloaded by windows update have the same impact.
I've managed to install it in safe mode but when i restart in normal mode i get the same behavior.
I've tried 2 different monitors, VGA and HDMI , tried with UEFI on/off => same result.
I've tweaked once the tdr delay to 8 second, but didn't work.

I have a new 250gb SSD I want to do a fresh install on Windows 10 on. However I've already upgraded to Windows 10. I've downloaded a fresh Windows 10 installation onto a USB for the new install using the Media Creation Tool.
Is all I need to do just boot from the USB and install onto the new disk, or will it ask me for a product key etc? cause I stupidly have Windows 10 N currently, but the version on the USB boot is just plain 10.
So I've had my PC for about over a year now and I think it's time to do a fresh install. After doing the fresh install what is the proper steps for the first boot? What drivers should I be getting again, etc.
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to install fresh windows 10 without .ISO, usb and dvd? I updated my windows 7 to windows 10, but now I want fresh install, is it possible to do it? Like just to start setup.exe and install it ... I've seen some yt video here: URL... so I was wondering is this even legit, will it work like that?

View 5 RepliesSo i currently have 8.1 and i would like to reformat my Partition and do a clean install of windows 10. I have downloaded the windows 10 CD boot from here Windows 10 i have windows 8.1 home so i downloaded windows 10 home. And when i was doing the installation. it was asking me for my Product key. I typed in my Product key but it said " it did not recognize my Product key" So i quit the installation. I was wondering why it did not recognize my product key when we have the upgrade for free. Is there any other way to do a fresh install on windows 10? because i really would like to reformat my main partition and then do the installation of windows 10
View 4 RepliesI have successfully upgraded from win 7 to win 10 but i would like to do a fresh install as its been years since i have and would like to start from fresh.
I made the x64 DVD from the MS installation media creation tool.
I run the setup.exe from the disc and it starts downloading updates goes through the processes but after 1 hour or so a message comes up saying installation has failed.
I looked at you 'Clean install' guide and this relates to USB not DVD or is the process the same?
Should i be booting from the DVD rather then running the setup.exe
I did try but my pc restarts and just loads normally with out actually booting via DVD
I just downloaded Win10_English_x32.iso from Microsoft. I intend to install it on a new system with no prior OS, so I'll be purchasing a Windows 10 Home license from MS.
Will the following steps work:
Booting from a DVD created from the ISO. Install using product key purchased from Microsoft.
So I recently got a new SSD and installed Windows 10 on it, I'm wondering how to make it so my HDD doesn't take over again and become the boot part and leave my SSD in the dust.
The first time I installed Windows 10 on my SSD and then hooked up my HDD to the system even with the boot order where I put the SSD first somehow the HDD ignored those settings and started up, so my SSD was left doing nothing.
So I reinstalled Windows 10 on my SSD with my HDD unattached for now, I was wondering what I have to do to make sure the SSD is the boot and the HDD is just a storage device.

I've got an SSD on the way, and I want to do a full fresh OS install on it using my Windows 7 disc, then once installed I will upgrade to Windows 10.
View 1 RepliesI would like to upgrade my Windows 7 to Windows 10. I have so many files and games installed on windows 7. I am afraid of compatibility issue and might lose the save file.
Does any of here a Windows 7 Ultimate users and upgrade their OS to Windows 10? What happen does it affect any program and lost game save file? I want to know cause there's no turning back after I update my OS.
I'll soon be upgrading my PC to Windows 10 pro and while doing so I also purchased a dedicated SSD for the OS as well as an SSD for games. I plan to back up the old info from my HDD to an external and just wipe the HDD to use as extra storage. Obviously this means that all the drivers I installed when I first build the machine will be gone and I'm a little intimidated by the process of searching out what drivers I'll need for this new install.
I can't be 100% sure that I'll locate my mobo's driver install disk, however I have located the mobo on the manufacturers website where I have access to it's Windows 10 dedicated drivers. Everything is a separate download there, however, compared to the disk install which was a simple click and go so I'm not sure exactly what I need, what Windows will install automatically, etc. Some of the drivers say they need to be installed via a usb boot drive which is find strange.

WD HDD 1tb
I recently built this system for a family member as a low budget media/gaming pc. This was originally setup with windows 10 on the 1tb main drive, so I know everything works. Now we decided to put an ssd in as a boot drive, and I cant seem to get it working.I wasn't able to clone the drive due to inconsistent sector sizes between the drives.
I've finally completed the install on the drive after many failed attempts but when I try to boot from it the message reads "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device".
If I do a fresh install from a USB for Windows 10, after it's installed, will all the drivers be there from 8.1? Or do I need to manually download ALL the drivers again? This seems like a huge oversight if people want to do a fresh install to not bring over old windows (registry, errors, corrupt, and otherwise) files.
View 1 RepliesI currently I have W8.1 which is running on a HDD. For Windows 10, I am upgrading to a SSD for my OS, some programs, etc. Thing is, I want to keep my HDD for a storage drive. It has many pictures, videos, songs, etc that I want to keep. Problem is, it is currently loaded with Windows 8.1 and some programs that I would also put on the SSD. How do I just get rid of Windows from it to make it my storage drive? Do I need to? Should I just get a second HDD entirely and find a way to move my pictures, video, songs, etc to it?
View 1 RepliesI have freshly installed Windows 10 onto my SSD and used it fine for about a week. But when I booted it up today it took ages and when it finally booted up everything seemed fine, but after a while everything became slow. For example: launching applications would cause to freeze them, webpages refused to load (yeah the internet became slow too), I couln't open files anymore and it would not shutdown either (I could push the button but it did nothing).
When I restart it (hard reset) after it became slow it took ages to boot again, then I trimmed the ssd, I ran ADW cleaner and scanned for virusses. When I rebooted it booted fast this time like normal (It didn't become slow when doing all those things). I even played some Project Cars but after closing the game and waiting for a bit everything became slow again.
So I reformatted a existing computer (Which was on win7) with Win10. I can not for the life of me connect to the internet though. I have tried the following:
- /release
- /renew
- Tried setting my ipv4 address manually - when i did that and restarted my computer, it got set back to obtain automatically.
- manufacture resetting my router (Dark Knight RT-N66U)
- upgrading router to latest firmware
- uninstalling the NEC drivers and re-installing
- i can ping 127.0.0.1
- i can not ping the router 192.168.1.1
- this is the same machine i used with win7 just reformatted with win10 and yes the internet was working on windows 7.
- *also have multiple other machines on my network - some windows -some mac -all work fine wired or wireless.
and countless of other things but cant even think off the top of my head right now.

Where can I get a list of files I need to copy before formatting my hard drive?
View 3 Replies i decided to do a fresh install of Windows 10. I've faced two BSOD already, usually i was getting these due to graphic card issues previously however i haven't even installed any drivers yet.I've attached the SFTool files and the text file from BlueScreenView.

Gigabyte H87M-D3H

I've upgraded to 10 from W7, and I've had nothing but problems with it, so i'm concerned about the installation to a different SSD than the one I'm using, my mind is telling me it should be fine as the Upgrade happened all on the same hardware, but changing the location of installation, does that affect activation?

Looking for an answer for 12H now didn't find anything usefull thoug. Loaded the necessary drivers from Asus website and tried 2 new installs wit Bios reset (its working just fine with Ubuntu) So it should be a windows 10 Problem
I just purchased a new Dell desktop which was pre-loaded with Windows 10. All I have done to this point is activate and update Windows. I want to install a Samsung 850 EVO SSD and then make the HDD a storage drive. Would it be better to migrate Windows to the SSD or perform a fresh install by using the media creation tool?
View 3 RepliesAs the title says the plan is to install the latest build of Windows 10 to my SSD.
Aside from the SSD which is for the OS I have a standard HDD. How do I go about formatting both hard drives so they're completely fresh?
Will the W10 install automatically format my SSD and then it would just be a case of going into Computer and formatting the HDD?
If so, I don't have one... I look in Drive management and SSD is all one partition, I assume 232gb is what a 250gb ssd looks like formatted. Is that going to be a problem if I ever run reset or does windows hide all those files somewhere else?
I know I had one before on my old install but it was an update from win 7.
I have a custom pc that has successfully installed Windows 10. I installed the OS on the SSD. I have two hard drives; an SSD and a HDD. The HDD can be found through system devices but it is not showing up as a drive I can save files or install programs to. The drivers are updated on the HDD. I was able to update it and still I can't use it or access it.
