  1. I have reinstalled Windows 10 using a USB Flash Key which has changed the name of my Data (E:)


    Hello,
    I'm not sure if I have posted this in the right section but it does concern reinstalling Windows 10 and the Disk Drive names !!!

    I've had a few problems and still have a problem & I need Help !!!
    I have reinstalled Windows 10 with a USB Flash Key using the windows Media Creations Tool downloaded from a HP laptop which named the USB Flash Key ESD-USB in the (G: Drive), which when I reinstalled windows 10 to my Toshiba Laptop it had changed the name of my Data (EI have reinstalled Windows 10 using a USB Flash Key which has changed the name of my Data (E:) :) Drive to Data (FI have reinstalled Windows 10 using a USB Flash Key which has changed the name of my Data (E:) :) & the BD-RE Drive (FI have reinstalled Windows 10 using a USB Flash Key which has changed the name of my Data (E:) :) has been changed to BD-RE Drive (GI have reinstalled Windows 10 using a USB Flash Key which has changed the name of my Data (E:) :) & I can no longer see the Local Drive Disk (QI have reinstalled Windows 10 using a USB Flash Key which has changed the name of my Data (E:) :) but I do see the USB Flash key as ESD-USB in (EI have reinstalled Windows 10 using a USB Flash Key which has changed the name of my Data (E:) :) instead of (QI have reinstalled Windows 10 using a USB Flash Key which has changed the name of my Data (E:) :) now ???
    I guess the laptop used the Capital letter E from the name of the USB Flash key ???

    My question is:
    So if I plug in the USB again press the startup and then press F12 and then select USB: USB DISK 3.0 then click on (Repair this Computer) then click on (Troubleshoot) then click on (System recovery) and then (System Image Restore) both of which did not work for me the last time I tried but it did give me the option to choose the (SDD Recovery) which did uninstall windows 10 on the (CI have reinstalled Windows 10 using a USB Flash Key which has changed the name of my Data (E:) :) after I had clicked on the (Reset Network) which had made me loose my network drivers due to trying to reset the BDC !!! I had no mouse & no touch pad working either, ( I was basically in a big mess with my laptop and I was trying to repair it at the time !!!).
    So if I can use the (SDD Recovery) again or another method to uninstall windows 10 once again then clean the USB Flash key and re Format for a fresh start and rename it to for example (Pauls Key) and then reinstall the Media Creations Tool and do another custom windows 10 Reinstall selecting the optimal (Drive 0 Partition 2 Windows) (see 2nd image) just like I did the last time will my (CI have reinstalled Windows 10 using a USB Flash Key which has changed the name of my Data (E:) :) (DI have reinstalled Windows 10 using a USB Flash Key which has changed the name of my Data (E:) :) (EI have reinstalled Windows 10 using a USB Flash Key which has changed the name of my Data (E:) :) (FI have reinstalled Windows 10 using a USB Flash Key which has changed the name of my Data (E:) :) (QI have reinstalled Windows 10 using a USB Flash Key which has changed the name of my Data (E:) :) be renamed correctly again ??? (see images below)

    In this image shows how it was Originally before !!! I have reinstalled Windows 10 using a USB Flash Key which has changed the name of my Data (E:) df443ffe-a4da-495b-821f-171e7a4d3c4f?upload=true.jpg This image is the custom install of Windows 10 !!! I have reinstalled Windows 10 using a USB Flash Key which has changed the name of my Data (E:) 0ea4c0c0-8660-4674-8d18-62bf2d1915ab?upload=true.jpg

    Now it is setup like this ???
    I have reinstalled Windows 10 using a USB Flash Key which has changed the name of my Data (E:) af4eb5ce-1ab8-47d5-902a-df8a2765638b?upload=true.jpg
    So if I do a Reinstall of Windows 10 again will everything come back to how it was originally in the 1st image above with the correct names for each Disk drive or is there a very simple easier method to do this ???

    :)

  3. How do I change the network adapter name? (Windows 10)

    Press Windows Key + R, type secpol.msc and press Enter to run it. In Local Security Policy window, go to the Network List Manager Policies in the left pane. Now in the right pane double click on the network name that you want to change. In the Properties windows under the Name section make sure that Name is selected. Now in the input field enter the name that you wish to use for your connection. Click Apply then OK to save the changes. And you might have to log in again or to restart your computer before the changes are applied.
