  1. Installing win 10 on Dell PC to SSD "media driver missing"


    HiI have a WIN 10 install disk. Win update scerwed up my boot drive sequence, now I need to clean boot WIN 10 from the DVD. PC is Dell Optiplex.Only HDD is a Kingston SSD, freshly formatted in another computer running WIN 7 .The install process starts ok, then stalls with "media driver needed, enter path"I have unplugged all USBs except the mouse, which works. Screen displays ok.Where can I find the driver, and how can I when I don't know what driver is missing?

    Upgrade from Win 10-32bit to Win 10-64bit using a new SSD boot drive

    What are the steps to no cost upgrade to 64-bit Windows 10 while swapping out the boot HHD to a SSD. I have a Dell T3400 Precision Desktop computer with Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor. My current boot drive is a WD Raptor and has already been upgraded
    from Win 7 Pro 32 bit to Win 10 32-bit. From what I've read so far the steps appear to be:

    1. Clone the Raptor HHD to the SSD.

    2. Install the SSD to be sure it works properly and windows is still activated.

    3. Perform the Custom Install from the ISO media (DVD) and select keep no data (for a clean install).

    Is this correct or am I missing something or is there s simpler way to do it?
