  1. When doing a refresh of a windows install, what files does it keep specifically?


    I want to clear up those files of any large folders I have from over the years.

    Bonus question: I first installed windows on an MBR drive, but then converted the drive to GPT. Will windows generate the correct partitions on a GPT drive? Because on MBR, only two partitions are made.

  3. Windows 10 search for a specific folder name and file name

    Carlos: Thanks for your reply. What you suggest is what I have been doing. I search for folders with a specific name and get a list. Then I have to search each folder for a specific file. So it's a two step search and that's what I was trying to avoid.

    I assume there are applications out there that allow for an "AND" search in Windows. I'll try that approach.

    Thanks, again.

    Suggestion - GPU-Z window Reload (refresh)

    Thanks! *Smile When doing a refresh of a windows install, what files does it keep specifically? :) Sounds fine (Ctrl+R as a 2nd way to do the same would be nice too).
    IF you do not want to overburden the main window GUI with the extra Refresh button I suggest, Refresh could be added to the system menu in top left instead, and/or into Settings.
    (such as add a button labeled "Refresh main tab" or similar text of your choosing to Settings)
