  1. Upgraded to Win 10 from 7; Disk 0 C: shows 79% usage


    I just upgraded to Windows 10 from 7. I chose to delete everything and start fresh. Looking at my available disk space, though, it appears that Windows 7 os is still on there? What else would be taking up all that space? I don't need any of it, I already backed up the important things. How can I clear up all that precious disk space?

    :)

    win 10 Data Usage Screen data values are 0

    Hello,

    I have upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10 Home . The data usage screen values like Ethernet , Wi-Fi values are always showing 0 MB

    If i click Usage Details Links then in App Usage screen System is showing always 0 MB.

    what could be the issue . I almost check all the enabled services still values are not appearing.

    Thanks

    Balu

    Upgraded to Windows 10 - Disk 0 Usage 100

    I agree. This entire thread has appeared unproductive as this issue continues. The one point perhaps that has not been discussed appears to be that even though the disk 0 usage is at 100% the processes running never add up to 100percent. for example at 24%
    usage there are 10 processes listed as using 0.1 mb/sec which totals 1MB /sec. from that one could assume that at 100% the processes may total 4MB/sec but I routinely see the system process spike upwards of 25Mb/sec and after any usage climbs over 7mb/sec
    the disk 0 reads at 100%. also the running processes are never the same. there is no one process which creates the issue.

    A better solution would be for Microsoft to explain the point and purpose of the disk usage, and how it is reported. it is reported at the top as a percentage and in the row as a transfer speed. (mb/s).

    The question is what is up with that specifically, how do I determine the max transfer speed of disc 0, and at what point will system performance slow to an unacceptable user level? when it does what are the steps to take to identify and resolve the issue?

    Upgraded to Win 10 from 7; Disk 0 C: shows 79% usage

    is hardware OK (Win 7) for upgrade to windows 10

    I think in one of the other PC with win 7 or win 8.1 I run media creators tools and in some step prompt/found graphics card not supported... for win 10. I didn't found alone reading specs of win 10, but the tool says me... after changed graphics card the tool said all OK and continued OK with upgrade... That I ask to reach this step in this current PC - win 7 - must be all OK for the upgrade? Or must continue to upgrade to show this?
    and got to point

    • UPGRADE this PC now
    • Create media(DVD, USB stick, ISO)
    is hardware OK (Win 7) for an upgrade to windows 10 for this PC???
