Win 10 Parallel Installation - Win 8.1 in C: Drive & Win 10 in D: Drive

Hi,

I have subscribed to auto upgrate on 29th July. Currently in my laptop Win 8.1 is on C: Drive.

1. Will I have a choice to install the Win 10 on E: Drive? I don't want to touch C: drive at-all.

2. Will the installation steps ask me what customized applications are needed to be installed?

3. The WiFi connection settings are fixed and passwords are all stored with Win 8.1; If the installation does not happen in the E: Dirve, will my setting be deleted in C: Drive?

4. If the installation does not happen in E drive, do I need to remove all my data from C drive to other drive?

Thanks

Rishu

 

How to format hard drive and still keep windows 10?

First look if your win 10 has been activated, if that all okay. DL the tool from Microsoft to make either a DVD or a USB key with a image of win 10.

Then you can just make a format C, remove the partition on C drive and install it right way from your media and make a clean install.

Activation key, you dont neeed it, since it has been bound to your machine, and it will activate automatically over the net.

Ive done it on my machine, and there no troubble at all, takes only a few minuttes.

 

How To Format A Write Protected Flash Memory ?

¿You already tried this one?...

Run CMD


1. diskpart
2. list disk

Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

2. select disk #
3. clean
4. create partition primary
5. select partition 1
6. active
7. format fs=fat32
8. assign
9. exit

with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

good luck!
