    Multiple questions pertaining to file installation and device administrator


    So I had to reinstall Windows and I proceeded partition my C: drive to a 50gb C: Drive for my os and a 900gb D: drive for games and personal files. The only issue is that nothing will save to the D: drive unless I manually change the location. I have set my file location in windows settings to the D: drive, but nothing will save to that drive. I also want to hide specific icons from my desktop screen, but they aren't shortcuts so whenever I click delete, it says I need permission form the administrator and "Trustedinstaller". I cant find out how to remove the icon from my home screen without deleting the files, and how do I give myself admin permission? my desktop only has one user so I'm not sure how I lost permission.


    Thanks in advance.

    :)

  2. Local account installation question


    I'm fairly certain that Skip this step was available in 10.0.130 - the workaround in Step 20 (back button) is no longer required.

    The currently known, as of 10.0.130, ways to create a Local account sign-in are
    • Skip this step at the MS account creation phase
    • No Internet connection during the install
    • static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)

    Multi-bootable USB

    Hey guys from TPU, couldn't find any specific thread pertaining to the question asked on title. As mentioned, I'm trying to create a bootable USB, but with many specifics boots available.

    I've been trying to create one with multiple boot device including one that enables me to run Windows 10 directly on the USB Thumb Drive but to no avail.

    The list of bootable images i'm trying to create are

    1. Windows 10 (A full OS running from thumb drive)
    2. Windows 10 ISO (Bootable disk image for fresh install)
    3. MemTest86+

    Have tried YUMI or UUI from the website USB PenDrive Linux but as this is my first time, i don't know how am i screwing up or am doing it right.. Anyone got a rough idea on a step by step guide? Thanks!

    Laptop driver/reformat question

    This is excellent advice. Writing down the list of installed devices prior to re-formatting will save you a lot of heartache. With that list, you won't have to try to figure out exactly which wireless card or web cam driver you need since there will likely be several to choose from.
