  1. These files might be harmful to your computer


    I transferred some of my files from my phone to my hard drive, but once I sorted and transferred those files to the folders a warning always shows up. No virus or anything on my Windows 10 laptop and this warning is already grating on my nerves. What can I do about it? Thanks in advance!

    Ah, my mistake with the \ and /.
    Folder now moved as suggested and problem now solved. No idea how this happened.
    However.................if I now move a file to the recycle bin and want to restore it back to its original location, I am being prompted with this one now.....

  3. Files Harming my Computer

    Okay, so I was going to play a game on a website that I have used on a different computer. On the other computer I had no problem with running the game. I go to do it on this computer and it begins to install "Doom.sfw". Then my computer notifies me that
    "This file can harm your computer ". Here is where I need help. Should I go through with it and allow it to stay or should I discard it? I had no problem on my other computer but I want a confirmed answer first. Thanks!

    How do I install windows 10 without harming my windows 7?


    Here's what I suggest you to do:
    • From Windows 7, download & Install Macrium Reflect Free. Connect one of your new 500GB HD and clone your current Windows 7 to it. Follow step 1,2,3 from the screen shot:

    • Disconnect your current Windows 7 then boot up with the new cloned copy of Windows 7
    • Upgrade it to Windows 10 so it will be fully activated.
    • If you decide to keep Windows 10 then do a fresh install of Windows 10. If not, disconnect the 500GB HD containing Windows 10 then re-connect your Windows 7
    • You are back to where it was before.
