  1. Installing Win10 from USB while Win10 already installed?


    I reformatted my brand new laptop using an old version of Win10 I had on a USB. However after doing this I ran into an issue with Windows updates not working. After some searching I found that I needed a newer build of the Win10 bootable USB. I ran the Win10 installer from within Win10 - it ran through and updated fine and kept some settings in place like my user profile, Chrome settings/etc. It also fixed the Windows update issues I was having.



    My question is, is this an ok way of installing/updating Win10? Or should I have booted from the USB and did a clean install?

  2. Win10 Preview install problems

    Trying to install the Win10 preview. I've created a 50 Gb partition on my primary drive for the install. When I try to install 10, I get a error saying 10 can't be installed on the drive. The drive is of the GPT partition type. From what I've read, I need to convert my drive to a MBR partition type. The only instructions I can find about that involve converting the entire drive, meaning I loose everything on my main drive. Is there a way to convert just the partition I created for the Win10 install to a MBR partition type?

    Win10 Preview install problems

    I had that problem when I went to install Win10 preview. I've never had to install the ahci driver for my mobo/SSD in Windows 7 install, but had to for Windows 10. I also used the GPT partition for the record.
