    What does this say and what should I do? I have had no formal training on the computer and I am self taught. I am seeking help from that reference point to resolve this error message

    Thank you very much for your response, I did however manage to reinstall my OS. I will keep this antidote handy for any future unforeseen that rear their ugly heads. Again, Thanks for your help.

    Hi Carl,

    It seems that the error has something to do with a hardware. Have you recently installed or updated one of your hardware? We also suggest doing an automatic troubleshooting and see if it helps. Follow the steps below on how to do a troubleshoot for your
    hardware:

    • Press Start.
    • Type in Troubleshooting.
    • Choose Hardware and Sound.
    • Choose Find and fix problems with devices and hardware under
      Hardware and Devices.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Hi,

    I just tried the above but still not getting back space. Is 10 bigger than 7 actually?

    I believe so; you have lots of good geek stuff that provides and manages touch-screen service; that's how all that cool stuff you see on TV for Windows 10 gets done. *Smile
