    Windows 10 file copying to USB timestamps' resolution


    Hello,Is there any way to reduce the resolution of the timestamps on files? In Windows 10, when copying files to a USB drive which already has versions of the files on it, the process lets you see only files with different timestamps. However, that includes versions where the timestamp differs by a few seconds. They're the same file, basically; these are Word documents and I don't write that fast ... So is there any way I can tell Windows to regard files as different versions only if the minute or hour on their timestamps, not the second, is different? I haven't been able to find any answers s

    :)

    Windows 10 timestamps

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



    I can understand, how frustrating it can be, when things don’t work as expected.

    I'd be glad to help you.



    Please answer the queries, mentioned below:


    • Were you able to install Windows 10 successfully?

    • Did you check, if it is present in Windows.old folder?

    • Where exactly are you trying to check, if the TimeStamps are present?
    I would suggest you to follow these steps below to retrieve files manually from Windows.old folder and check, if it helps.

    • Enter This PC in the search box, and then click on
      This PC in the search results.
    • Double-tap or double-click the drive that Windows is installed on (typically, the C: drive).
    • Double-tap or double-click the Windows.old folder.
    • Double-tap or double-click the Users folder.
    • Double-tap or double-click your user
      name.
    • Open the Windows.old folder that contain the files you want to retrieve.
    • Copy and paste the files that you want from
      Windows.old       folder to a folder in Windows 10.
    • Repeat steps 5-7 for each user account on your PC.


    Please feel free to contact us if you face any issues with Windows.

    Thank you.

    Windows 10 USB boot

    Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

    System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

    Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

    So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
    If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

    There is three options:
    Windows 10
    Windows 10 Home
    Windows 10 N

    Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

    System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

    Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
    That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

    Windows 10 file copying to USB timestamps' resolution

    Java.nio.file - Copying files

    You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
    You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one
