    Files in C: drive automatically compressing?

    As you may already know, if this feature is on, every new folder/file you add starts off automatically compressed. If you would like to turn it off for the whole drive, kindly follow these steps:

    • Start File Explorer . In the left pane, right-click on the drive that you would not want to be compressed.
    • Click Properties.
    • Make sure that the Compress this drive to save disk space box is unchecked.
    • Click OK then Apply.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Dual-boot Win10/7 or go back to Win 7

    Separate Hard Drive for win 7 and win 10
    select boot drive at bios when Booting ( F10 )
    Keeps them entirely separate and makes wipeing disk later easier

    My compressed drive will not boot win 7

    Dual Boot Over 2 Hard drives Advice Please.

    Steps
    1>Disconnect HDD and install Win 8.1 to SSD
    2>Disconnect SSD and install Win 7 to HDD
    3>Connect both drives, go to BIOS and select the SSD as primary boot device
    4>You should be able to boot to Win 8.1
    5>Download Easy BCD and add the Win 7 entry by selecting the proper partition of the HDD.

    Should be a piece of cake. *Wink My compressed drive will not boot win 7 ;)
