  1. Win 10 Update corrupted my harddrive


    Hi I spent hours on the phone with a pro-service rep from Dell.

    We tried every fix & nothing worked finally he said the hard drive is toast & they mailed me one but I was told they could not help me with the transfers.

    Yesterday I replaced the hard drive it came from Dell, it booted in windows 7. I downloaded Win 10 professional when it was free from the net 2- 3 years ago. Do I have to do that again to transfer my files if that still exist?

    Here are my questions & I would appreciate links to videos to fix this.

    1. If I keep windows 7 will I be able to transfer my files from a corrupted windows 10 hard drive to windows 7?

    2. If I must download Win 10, how & where do I do that.

    3. If I must go with 10, I would like to get rid of 7 altogether because it takes up a lot space, is that possible?

    4 is it possible to copy all programs on to the new hard drive disk? with out losing anything?


    5. I shut off updates because I read you folks were having problems, why did it update anyway? I don't understand why Windows knows they have update issues & you still put it out to the public. I don't know if i lost everything or not. I don't have the money to take this to a professional so I would like to try myself.


    6. I have a Dell 6540. I can replace the DVD with a harddrive. Do you folks have any idea or tips on what I can do using the 2nd drive. I actually had just bought a hard drive & was planning on cloning my original one.


    Thanks in advance for ur help, If instructions have videos please send links to videos.

    :)

    Windows 10 wont update


    Have you tried the second step?

    (Searching for the error message e.g.

    windows update database corrupt

    is also a useful approach- e.g. finds
    Win 10 Update Database Corruption Solved - Windows 10 Forums
    - where the next step is the one I suggested above).

  4. Win 10 Update corrupted my harddrive

    win 10 update leaves vertical pink line on screen

    today i applied latest win 10 update and now i have a vertical pink line on screen, it remains on every screen. i have tried these fixes

    Step 1: I suggest you to run SFC scan,
    System File Checkeris a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

    Follow the below steps:

    • Right click on the Start button, click on
      Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type “sfc /scannow” without the quotes and hit
      Enter.
    • After the scan, restart the computer and check for the issue.
    Step 2: Also, I suggest you to update the display drivers and check.

    Steps to Update the Display Adapter driver.

    • Press Windows key + Xkey when you are at desktop.
    • Select Device Manager.
    • Expand Display Adapter.
    • Right on the Display Adapter and click on
      Update driver software
    BUT i still have the line on screen.
