  1. Windows 10 reinstall


    We have a computer that originally had Windows 7 professional installed. It upgraded to Windows 10 Professional automatically during the free upgrade period. Recently, the hard drive crashed and when we tried to restore from our backup, we found it was corrupted as well. We purchased a new SSD drive to use as our primary drive and since we only had a Windows 7 disk, reinstalled the OS from that. I entered the key on the disk, and now we are getting the message that the key is invalid. We have already reloaded all of our software on the drive, so wiping the drive clean is not desired.

    I have read that since the Win 10 OS was activated before, I can download something and install Win 10 again and it will automatically activate. Will this just upgrade the Win7 or is it going to wipe out my hard drive and make me start from scratch again. Help. This is our computer that we use to project our songs and scriptures for our church services. HELP

    :)

    [Solved] Windows 10 keeps reinstalling KB3119142

    I noticed quite some time ago that KB3119142 (Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Update 4 Redistributable Package) kept reinstalling itself for some reason. At least once daily. Sometimes up to several times a day. I just ignored it. It didn't seem to be doing any harm. And I figured they'd eventually fix it. Well...days turned into weeks, weeks into months, with no end to the problem in sight. It dragged on unsolved for at least the last few months. Literally reinstalling itself hundreds of(at least a hundred, felt like more) times in that period of time.

    So I finally googled it a couple days ago. And just got around to fixing it today. Which appears to have worked. And it couldn't have been easier to do. I feel so stupid to have let it intimidate me for so long.*Oops! Windows 10 reinstall :oops:
    Below are links to the thread that I got the fix idea from, and the official MS support info page for KB3119142(from which I quoted the above).

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
