    User files on Windows 10 reinstall


    Hi.

    I did some searching and THINK I can do what I'm wanting to do... but want to make sure.

    Long story short, my HD failed, had to buy a new HD, Install Windows 7 from my disc then upgrade to windows 10 on the new drive.

    I was able to User folders to DVD discs (Mine and Wifes user folders). Basically just copied the entire folder trees.

    Is it as simple as copy/pasting to the user folders on the new HD from the DVD discs? Or is there something I'm missing?

    Thanks!

    :)

  2. video tdr failure in windows 10

    well..after upgrade to windows 10 and update all drivers still occurring the message video tdr failure. Was checking the last driver from intel, install but no hope.

    maybe intel guys will fix their driver and we will joy our computers without having this annoying error message.

  3. Cannot unlock my drive locked with bitlocker after installing windows 10

    After installing windows 10, I cannot unlock one of my drives ( Drive D ) locked with bitlocker. I get an error that the password entered is incorrect but I'm pretty sure I'm using the right password. The other drive ( Drive E ) unlocks without displaying any
    errors.

    When I set the bitlocker password, I deleted the recovery key thinking it was unnecessary as I would remember the password. But I regret it now because even though I remember the password, I'm not able to unlock the drive.

    With a little bit of research over the internet, I found that few others have faced this problem too. But after a few windows updates the problem was fixed. But in my case that ain't working either, as I get an error ( error code : 0x80240fff ) while trying
    to run the windows update.

    I reinstalled windows 10 hoping for these issues to be solved, but both these issues still remain.

    Can someone help me with some suggestions please?

    Tried fixes :

    1) Deleting SoftwareDistribution folder.

    2) Running sfc/scannow

    3) Re-installing windows 10

  4. User files on Windows 10 reinstall

    It is as easy as copying them back to the same folders on the new drive. However, if you start getting Access Denied messages when you go to use those files, you'll want to follow a tutorial on here regarding "Taking Ownership" of those files.
