  1. upgrading to win 10 from win 7 with relocated user directory


    I am currently running Win 7 SP1.

    When I installed my windows 7 a few years back, I moved my user directory to a different partition, using the method outlined here:

    User Profiles - Create and Move During Windows 7 Installation - Windows 7 Help Forums

    My question is, will I be able to upgrade to win 10 with my current configuration? And if I upgrade to win 10, will it keep my current configuration?

    :)

  2. Win 7 and NVidia overclocking?

    Just curious how you Win 7 users are overclocking your NVidia cards. Riva Tuner won't work. Any suggestions?

    Recommend hardware changes for upgrading from Win-7 to Win-10

    I followed your suggestions (2nd Aug 19) for installing Win-10. Made the bootable flash drive successfully through the media creation tool. But when I attempted to upgrade and activate to Win-10 (64 bit) from within Win-7 (Pro-32 bit), I got the following error message:

    Error # OxC1900101-Ox20017. " The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation"

    I read the diagnostics under this error number and carried out the proposed fixes, i.e. update Win-7, uninstall Malwarebyte antivirus, disconnect all external hardware, e.g. printer, scanner, external hard drives. I then tried to repeat the steps to do the upgrade through the Win-10 bootable flash drive as before. Got the same error message.
    Appreciate any further comments and suggestions as to (a) what does a failure in the SAFE_OS during boot operation mean, (b) what can I do to solve it. Is this anything to do with the hardware in my computer? I listed these in my first posting above.
    Thanks for any help

    upgrading to win 10 from win 7 with relocated user directory

    Win 7 and Win 10 on network

    I have home network with separate modem, router, and WAP's. My Windows 7 computer does NOT list the Windows 10 computers on network computer list but the Windows 10 computers network list DO list the Windows 7 computer.

    Turned off firewalls, gave permissions, shared drives. Nothing allows Win 7 computer to access the Win 10 computers.

    Any suggestions for a fix?
