    Tidying up foreign Windows10 by reinstalling from USB.


    I recently bought a Chinese tablet which has Windows10 installed but looking through the directories I find many entries that are in Chinese characters and I am hoping a fresh install will clean up any possible spyware that the tablet may have. I do not know if a standard Windows10 will sort out all the drivers needed for the Touch Screen to work. Could you help me or am i being paranoid about security?.

    :)

    Foreign Disk

    Hi,

    You will only lose the data in the Foreign Disk once you convert it to a "Basic Disk" in Disk Management.

    To allow the disk to be recognized, follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key and type "Disk Management" and click on it.
    • Right-click on the foreign disk and select "Import Foreign Disks..."


    Feel free to post back with more information.

    foreign hackers

    • Can you provide more detail?
    • Who told you foreign hackers corrupted your system?
    • Who says you need to buy an SQL SERVER?
    • How did this whole situation play out?
