    Hello All

    -----------------------------------

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Hope You All Are Doing Great..


    So I Was Having Problems With The Windows Update, SearchedOn Internet But Didn’t Find Any Usable Results; So I Decided To Do An In-PlaceUpgrade> Downloaded MCT>Got A Fresh Copy Of Windows Iso…

    But



    When I Started The Setup, It Showed That The “Keep PersonalFiles, Apps And Settings” Is Greyed Out, And The “Keep Personal Files Option”Is Greyed Out Too..


    So I Was Left With Just Nothing Option But Had A Whooping 50Gb Off Photos,Videos And Docs On My Pc And No One Would Like To Ever Wipe OfThem..


    And The Reason Was That “Your Files,Apps, And Settings Can’t Be Kept Because Your Current Version Of Windows MightBe Installed In An Unsupported Directory Or You’re Trying To Install An OlderVersion Of Windows.”

    Again Searched Internet And Found About The Registry AndDirectories But My PC Was Good In The Registry…

    So I Found That This Is A Bug With Windows 10 Version 19042At This Site: [Fix]Can't Repair Install Windows 10 20H2 - Your Windows Guide



    So Should I Make The Changes Because The Site States That “Important: The Fix Is Only ApplicableTo Windows 10 Version 20H2 Build 19042. DoingThis On Other Releases May Lead To PC InAn Unbootable State.”


    Any Suggestion Or Fix Will Be Really Helpful

    Keep personal files and apps greyed out

    I am trying to go from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on one of my computers. This computer in question is running Windows 7 Professional and has many important files. I purchased Windows 10 Home and upon installation, the "Keep personal files and apps" option
    is greyed out, but the "Keep personal files only" option is selectable. How reliable is this? Will all of my files (multiple folders on the desktop, hundreds of folders in the Documents, Photos, Videos, Music libraries) be kept? Obviously, my apps will not
    be kept, but will the Program Files folders at least be saved in the Windows.old directory? Any help is appreciated.

    Unable to place Recycle Bin on Desktoop. No option to do that in Personalization.

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    For better clarity, please let us know:



    • When you say, “I am unable to place recycle bin on desktop” how are you trying to add Recycle Bin on the Desktop?
    • Do you receive any error message/code?
    • Could you please provide more information on, “the 'personalization' section does not make a provision for me to do that”?


    To add a system icon to the Desktop, I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned in the article

    Show desktop icons in Windows 10
    .



    Let us know how it goes.



    Regards,

    Nikhar Khare

    • Download the EMUI 5.0(desired version) .zip file, and unzip it.
    • Place the .hwt file in the HWThemes folder from your phone.
    • Using the Themes app, apply the new theme.
    • Restart the phone, in order to see all the new changes.
    And you’re done!
