  1. Restoring Windows to a drive that already has windows?


    Sorry for question wording. I have windows on an old SSD but the laptop it was on pooped out motherboard issue. Got a desktop computer, it has windows 10 on the hard drive already. Tried swapping the drives, windows 10 wouldn't boot on SSD. I have both in now, how can I restore the Windows 10 I had on my old laptop I have the registration key and make that the primary drive to boot? I also plan on wiping the hard drive when I'm done, but I don't want to lose any files on SSD.

    :)

  2. Windows XP PRO error after restore

    System restore is handy when it works like it did for me 2 days ago saving the need to reinstall all of my software as well as windows, id suggest using norton Ghost 12 for an excellent system restore feature.

    Restoring Windows to a drive that already has windows?

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
