Windows 10: About my harddisk

I have a Acer Aspire A315-55G laptop that runs on Windows 10. The lap had an 931GB HDD hard disk. But since yesterday windows device manager says it is a SSD. Any help on what is going on?

Also yesterday I installed "Bluestack " to my PC. Maybe that is the reason? And someone knows how to make it a HDD back again please help. Because my "Acer Care Center" application does not support SSD harddisks.

Thinking about Going back to Win8.1


If want to disable IE, still can. However, can't uninstall it like were able to in XP/98/whatever.
Here's how, although I find it useful in case Chrome or Firefox stops working and have to re-download it. *Wink
1. Search for turn windows features on or off and click it in the search results.

• 
  

2. When the app opens, uncheck Internet Explorer 11.

• 
  
  

3. Click Yes on the warning dialog.

• 
  

4. Click OK.

• 
  

5. Restart for the changes to finish.

 

Install Windows 10 without deleting all previous partitions on the harddisk.

I was trying to install windows 10 in my Asus X441N which has no lagacy boot option so I had to install it in UEFI mode. In the setup I selected an unalocated space of 100GiB and pressed next and it created three partition (Windows, System, Recovery) then
complained about the boot order of the partitions it just created itself (why it would do that?). I choosed to continue ignoring the complain then the instalation started and a window popped up showing error that it detected the EFI partition(The System
partition it just created in the previous step) was NTFS not FAT32. I searched in the internet for the problem, and found answers like -

• Delete all the partiions in your harddisk
• Rename the EFI folder in the bootable usb to NoEFI or something else
• format the System partition to fat32 using diskpart (I don't know when)

I can't delete all the partitions and the other two didn't worked.

Then I tried to install it mannually(Apply the images with dism) with the help of this documentation Capture and Apply Windows, System, and Recovery Partitions.
Well I didn't followed every steps in there. I've created the partitions using KDE partitioner, ignoring the recommended order(didn't find any) -

• System partition of 116 MB - fat32
• Recovery partition of 450 MB - ntfs
• Windows and Data partition of 100GiB - ntfs

Then just followed the steps of the above mentioned documentation from the the cmd of the bootable usb.

I'm pretty sure I used the correct drive letters during these steps then rebooted. In the OOBE it showed that Windows setup was unable to configure windows in this hardware.

So, Can someone help me to "Install Windows 10 without deleting all previous partitions on the harddisk" by any method?
