    I know that Windows 1903 build allows for deleting pre-installed apps. I don’t use Xbox and game bar. I also don’t need a snipping tool or 3d view. Can I delete these apps without any harm to my computer? Thank you.

    :)

  2. Delete Pre Installed Apps

    Thanks dumpystig, but that menu sequence will only allow to delete purchased apps and a limited number of Pre-installed discretionary apps such as Accu Weather. It, for example, does not allow to delete the Calendar app - nor does it make available the
    'pocket news' app which is the one I want to get rid off. The phone is running PR1.2 and was purchased, unlocked, from a Nokia shop. Thanks

    How do I install windows 10 without harming my windows 7?


    Here's what I suggest you to do:
    1. From Windows 7, download & Install Macrium Reflect Free. Connect one of your new 500GB HD and clone your current Windows 7 to it. Follow step 1,2,3 from the screen shot:

    1. Disconnect your current Windows 7 then boot up with the new cloned copy of Windows 7
    2. Upgrade it to Windows 10 so it will be fully activated.
    3. If you decide to keep Windows 10 then do a fresh install of Windows 10. If not, disconnect the 500GB HD containing Windows 10 then re-connect your Windows 7
    4. You are back to where it was before.

    Will constant restart harm pc

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Community.

    We understand your concern and we will provide the information required to help you resolve the issue.

    Before we proceed, I would like you to provide the information stated below:

    • Are you running a game and restarting your system?
    • What do you mean when you state "desktop gaming pc running windows 10 64 bit "?

    I would like to inform that restarting your computer will not do any harm to your PC. But if there are any games or apps running in the background, I would suggest that you close all the running programs and then restart.

    Hope this helps
