Hi! I'm holdum333 I realize that this is a old thread(April), but just trying to see if anyone is still posting here on this forum and hoping to see some replies and a little action! LOL. I do like Duchie's and Steve's replies however! I also like AskLeo! The title of this issue "Hard drive failure" Here's a good place to start! http://www.groovypost.com/howto/check-health-of-computer-hard-drive/

Here are some tools you may need to maintain W 10. The first thing should do is create a back up image of W10 http://www.groovypost.com/howto/create-windows-10-system-image-backup/ While this is a great feature, using a 3rd party image program like Macrium Reflect is a much better guarantee that you will be able to restore your PC like it was the day you created the image. While your creating a back up image, you will be asked if you want to create a repair disc. I recommend that your do that also. It can be used if you are not able to boot into windows for some reason! Then you need to create a recovery drive! http://www.groovypost.com/howto/create-windows-10-usb-recovery-drive/ Once you create the recovery drive, you can delete the recovery partition and gain that space back, or you can keep it also as another method of recovery! This will restore your PC to factory settings when you decide that you want a fresh start! Please fell free to comment or correct any thing posted here!!

If you're having problems with Windows 10 on your PC, you could use push-button reset to refresh or reset Windows. Refresh your PC Fixes software problems by reinstalling the OS while preserving the user data, user accounts, and important settings. All other preinstalled customizations are restored to their factory state. In Windows 10, this feature no longer preserves user-acquired Windows apps. Reset your PC prepares the PC for recycling or for transfer of ownership by reinstalling the OS, removing all user accounts and contents (e.g. data, Classic Windows applications, and Universal Windows apps), and restoring preinstalled customizations to their factory state. The options above are great for what they are intended for, but you could also do a repair install of Windows 10 by performing an in-place upgrade without losing anything other than all installed Windows Updates. Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade - Windows 10 Forums This tutorial will show you how to do a repair install of Windows 10 by performing an in-place upgrade without losing anything. You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to do a repair install of Windows 10.

Hi I'm holdum333! I new to your forum. While searching on the web, I found a answer to a issue I was having, on groovy post. There was a link to this forum (Windows 10), so I joined here also! I'm now going back and forth trying to learn how both forums work. Please bare with me until I get every thing sorted out. I think I'll get the hang of it. Have you ever thought about merging?? LOL Now I'm on both help forums. I know a little about W10 and hope I can learn more on these forums and maybe even help a little.

Hi New to the forum! I have found that using a 3rd party back up image program comes in real handy for these kind of things. Of course you have 30 days to roll back to your previous OS. Here's what I did! I created a image of my W7 OS. Then I upgraded to W10 and created a back up image of W10. Now I have the option to restore W7 or W10. I can roll back and forth when ever I choose. I use the freeware program Macrium Reflect to create my back up images. I really like W10 so will stay with it, but I can always restore back to W7! PS there are a lot of 3rd party freeware image programs you can down load! learn how to use one and you will never be sorry you spent the time!

HI! I'm holdum333! Getting familiar with your forum. I use Windows Defender and Malwarebytes Pro and of course i use safe surfing! Looks like a quite forum where I can learn and maybe help a little. Found your forum while surfing the web. Hope I'm not screwing up my reply Learning how things work!
