    Is it possible to install Windows 10 without deleting the contents of an used HDD?


    My pc is really slow at the moment so I thought it could be a virus of some sort. Then I've noticed that my main hdd has the Reallocated Sectors Count issue and that it's on a critical level.I do have another hdd which has my games installed and other stuff. So, I've copied some important files of mine to this second hdd and I already have my pen drive with the windows 10 instalation ready.What I don't know is if I can install windows 10 in this hdd without it deleting all of my stuff. Can I do it by creating a partition? If so, how much space does it need to install windows 10?If creating a p

  2. Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

    Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

    As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

  3. Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

    Hi guys,
    Okay, so I wanted to know, I currently have a pc at home with a paid Windows 7 installed. I am getting a new computer either Friday or Monday with an SSD. Seeing as I want Windows 10 now and not 7 and I want it on my SSD how to I get to do this. I already downloaded a Windows 10 file in order to make one of my flash drives eligible for a windows 10 installation.

    Will it be possible for me to just install windows 10 on the new SSD with this flash drive using my Windows 7 key, whilst my original windows 7 is still installed on the old Hard drive. And if it is how to I go about deleting my old OS from the HDD, seeing as I also want to use that HDD in my new pc, without formatting all the games I have on it currently?

    Thank you in advance
