  1. can i install windows 10 from media creation tool on a laptop running a corrupted windows 7


    hello i was wondering if anyone could help me so i had a kind of serious problem with my windows 7 pro 32bit os this morning substantial details about the occurrence here https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...-73a9-4519-b919-9d6a82908dc4?tm=1610893915307


    as you read there my laptop is acting funny and there's clearly a lot of damage that has been done to the windows 7 os it is running

    i had it in me for a while that i needed to upgrade it to windows 10 and i think now's the time.

    my question is: say if i can run the media creation tool well enough and if i managed to download the iso on my hard disk chose the download for another pc option and came to install it, is that process going to succeed or not given that there's clearly a lot of missing files and drivers and whatnot in the windows 7 that im currently running, in other words, is my current barely functioning image of windows 7 gonna affect at all my windows 10 installation process?

    and if yes, what would be the cleanest way to install windows 10 on this device?

    any help would be much appreciated since im a literal suffering noob

    :)

  2. Windows 10 installing progs

    I decided to take the plunge and upgrade to windows 10 from 7. I used the Media Creation Tool from MS website. It took awhile, but I am finally running Windows 10 (12-14).

    I opened the new App & Program feature to remove programs that I no longer needed. Scrolling down the list, I was horrified! Apps that I didn't install somehow magically installed themselves. Two programs stood out: Facebook and Candy Crush Soda Saga. Both programs have those tale-tale icons that they came from Windows Store (which I've never even opened). The install date for both of them were on 12-26.

    Is this a common thing for Windows 10? Or is it because I did an upgrade and not a clean install?

  3. Windows 10 USB boot

    Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

    System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

    Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

    So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
    If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

    There is three options:
    Windows 10
    Windows 10 Home
    Windows 10 N

    Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

    System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

    Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
    That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks
