  1. I have lost my Windows 10 installation!


    I have a laptop with 2 internal HDs I used to use the second drive to clone my first drive. Then I decided I would like to install Linux Mint on the second drive which I did successfully. Then my sister bought a Google Chromebook and she was unable to grasp how to use it. Because we are in lockdown I couldn't go round to her house so I thought I would install Chromium OS on my second drive to replace the existing Linux installation. This was so we could use facetime on our iPads and I could show her how to use Chrome OS. Still with me? Well instead of the installation replacing my Linux on the second drive it replaced my Windows 10 installation on the first drive!!!!


    My question is how do I get back my Windows 10? I downloaded a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft but can't find any way of using it. Any help will be appreciated.


    Thanks . . . . Frank

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
