  2. N95-1 FW V21.0.016 query...pls help!!!

    I have experience the same problem too.

    After the V21.0.016 upgrade, there was error accessing the standard Micro SD-Card (1GB). So tried reformating the SD card with the new firmware loadeded.

    So far it behaving alright.#Cross Finger#.

    Nokia should indicate reformating micro SD-card as part of the firmware upgrading process.

  3. Portuguese Pre-Reform rules availability Windows 10

    How can I configure/ select the option to have the Portuguese Pre-Reform rules availability on my Windows 10 Home?

    The pre-reform portuguese language rules is the same portuguese language has you have in all past windows versions.

    Is there any possibility to chose if we want the windows in Portuguese pre-reform or Post-reform?

    Thank you.

    Regards

    Reformating after windows 10 upgrade.

    I would NOT do the fresh install yet.

    There are people reporting problems getting activated after doing the fresh install- after having first done the upgrade.

    Not sure whether it's an actual glitch or just the activation servers getting lagged, but a number of people on a number of sites are reporting that the clean install after successful update install caused activation errors.

  6. Yeah it's totally a blanking mess. It activated nicely when upgrading, but doing the fresh install after doesn't work at all. It says the key is blacklisted and I need to buy a new one. If it turns out we can't fresh install unless we buy it the best option is to fresh install 7 or 8 and then upgrade to keep all files because there will be nothing to keep.

    Very unlikely. The recovery partition should always remain your original OS. To be updated, the Windows installer would have to know the encoding of that partition and that tends to be computer manufacturer specific. Also, if they did touch that partition and something went wrong, you'd be left with a lump of plastic and metal...
