  1. Installation options - Update your PC and Apps


    There is a Win10 Forum posting called "Windows 10 instructional videos by Ten Forums members"
    (Solved Windows 10 instructional videos by Ten Forums members - Windows 10 Forums)

    In that posting there is a video called "About Cloud Free Windows 10, Bing & Cortana". The author of the video shows shots of the customization options in setting up Windows 10. About 1 minute 30 seconds into the video there is a shot of a screen with an option "Update your PC and apps". What is that "Update your PC" part. That is obviously not the missing "Automatic Update" option. (Would that it were.) It says "Automatically get device drivers, apps, and info for new devices". Is this for something during the installation and and setup process, or some ongoing part of maintenance? What if I want device drivers but don't want any Microsoft apps? Do I have some choice outside of this one options screen?

    At some other point he talks about setting up user ids. I assumed that any ids defined in the original Windows 7 (in my case), 8, or 8.1 would be copied over into Windows 10. Is that true? Until watching the video I didn't even know there was a "Local Account" vs "MS Account". If the ids are copied over in the upgrade, are they copied as "Local"? (I hope! I don't think I have an MS account, and I don't want one.)

  2. Installing nVidia driver package after Threshold 2 (1511) opencl.dll hash mismatch

    Hello Venosaur,

    Thank you for keeping us posted.

    At this point, I suggest you to perform a Reset of the operating system to reinstall the generic drivers for the devices installed in your computer, and again start with installing the latest updates released for the drivers.

    Resetting lets you choose whether to keep your files or remove them, and then reinstalls Windows. To get started, go to
    Settings > Update & security > Reset this PC >Get started and choose an option.

    Option

    Keep my files

    What it does


    • Reinstalls Windows 10 and keeps your personal files.

    • Removes apps and drivers you installed.

    • Removes changes you made to settings.

    • Removes any apps your PC manufacturer installed. (If your PC came with Windows 10, apps from your PC manufacturer will be reinstalled.)

    Option

    Remove everything

    What it does


    • Reinstalls Windows 10 and removes all your personal files.

    • Removes apps and drivers you installed.

    • Removes changes you made to settings.

    • Removes any apps your PC manufacturer installed. (If your PC came with Windows 10, apps from your PC manufacturer will be reinstalled.)

    If you're planning to donate, recycle, or sell your PC, use this option and choose to fully clean the drive. This might take an hour or two, but it makes it harder for other people to recover files you've removed.

    Option

    Restore factory settings

    What it does


    • Reinstalls the version of Windows that your PC came with (either Windows 8 or
      Windows 8.1) and removes your personal files.

    • Removes apps and drivers you installed.

    • Removes changes you made to settings.

    • Reinstalls any apps your PC manufacturer installed on your PC.

    This option isn't available on all PCs.

    Ref: Recovery options in Windows 10

    Note All of your personal files will be deleted and your settings will be reset. All apps that you installed will be removed. Only apps that came with your PC will be reinstalled.

    Write to us with the updated information for us to be able to assist you further.

    Thank you.

    Note

    If you reset your PC within a month of your upgrade to Windows 10, or 10 days after updating to the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, the option in Settings that lets you go back to your previous version of Windows will no longer be available.

    Thank you,

  4. Installation options - Update your PC and Apps

    I've answered my own question by performing the upgrade. The ids were created as "Local". I gave up trying to figure out Update part. I think I chose "Update your PC and apps" but I will disable all the disablable apps.
