Windows 10: A ton of thanks, but what now?

Thanks for all the help I received, I don't think I thanked everybody individually, but I got lost in volume of help. Now that I find out 1803 isn't compatible with my Toshiba, how do I get rid of all the crap I believe I've downloaded, and clear up "update and security" section so that I can get needed security updates, etc.?

Ton of problems after upgrading to Windows 10.


I just finished upgrading to Windows 10. In the hopes of a clean install, I had selected the remove everything option. Once I had the desktop screen, I went and installed the HP Support Assistant. I realized my Audio wasn't working properly, so I checked my Control Panel and saw the IDT Audio Codec wasn't installed. I went to the HP website and from the list of drivers for my laptop, downloaded the codec and it worked fine. What I noticed was, my control panel didn't list a lot of stuff that was supposed to be there, like the Mediatek drivers for my WiFi card and stuff. My laptop was however functioning perfectly. I checked the Support Assistant's tab of the installed drivers and it showed a list of drivers already installed (none of them were listed in the control panel). Moreover, it showed this High Definition Audio Function Driver installed, I had never seen that before. I checked my devices and this was there :





Next, I opened up the Explored and there was this new disk partition there which was inaccessible. It also didn't show up in the disk management.









My questions.

Why are there drivers listed in the support assistant but not in the control panel?

Why is the High Functioning Audio Device there and it's driver installed but not working?

Why does that random partition show up in my computer and is inaccessible?

I would really like everything to be clean and simple, please help me. Thanks.

 

AMD Silently Intros 95W Phenom II X4 945

Since it hasn't been released yet, we aren't 100% for sure, at least I'm not. However, there is some evidence to suggest it. Main with motherboard manufacturers listing it in their support lists as 140w. Which is usually a pretty good indicator that it will be 140w.

 

System Crashes - Graphics card issue (GTX 560 GigaByte)

The latest news from the store that took back my GTX 560 has it as follows in comparison with the latest reply:

Finally they called me yesterday and told me that they couldn't find anything wrong with the card. At this point I didn't even answer and expected him to continue what he had to say. Then he suggested that I should replace this card with a new GB gtx 560... (wtf ?), or a different chip, or buy another brand (while covering the $ difference).

What we agreed on is to buy a Sapphire 7850 while covering a 20 $ difference. Gonna buy it today.

As far as it concerns the latest reply:

When I wrote my last message I didn't say that they couldn't find anything wrong with the card...

So all of the following quoting text will apply if the new card seems problematic too...

I don't want to believe this is true, cause of it is then a lot of customers will be upset *Frown .
Bad Customer Experience Equals Failure

Although I understand the words that compile the above sentence, I can't seem to comprehend its meaning.

Last but not least, I would like to thank you all again for your will to help. Will post again when I get the new card.
Let us see...
