    How do I expand the 'Recent' list in the File Explorer?

    Thanks for an alternative suggestion.

    How do I transfer empty space from (DI can't expand C, how do i do it? Is it necessary? Since D has pretty much all of the storage. :) to (CI can't expand C, how do i do it? Is it necessary? Since D has pretty much all of the storage. :)?

    You can't transfer empty space from one disk to another disk. You can however use that free space by replacing C with D for example, if you are installing a program, when you are asked for the location where you want to install the new program just change C to D where it asks you what location to install to. You could also make a folder on the D drive called "D:\downloads" for file downloads or "D:\music" for music files, no quotes. Most programs or file downloads default install location is "C:\*****", so, just change the C to a D and that way you can get use of all that free space you have. I hope that makes sense to you.

    How do I ensure a full backup prior to installation


    I want to do a full backup of my drive "C" in the event I have to recover. I'm running Windows 7 Home now. I have a number of apps on it from both Microsoft and Adobe, and I can't afford to loose them if the upgrade to Windows 10 goes bad. Are these the correct steps:
    • Create a system image
    • Create a system repair disk
    • Copy all data file I can find from other hard disks (drives D, E, etc.)
    Is this all I need to do to have a high level of confidence in the update?

    Thanks,
    Bob
