    Win 10 Homegroup - not connecting after switching profile

    I think you need to join the homegroup while in the Work profile also. If you are already joined while in the work profile, then leave the homegroup and rejoin.

    Windows 10 blue screen spinning dots

    Might be something as simple as the system needing a reboot to something more involved. Try simply rebooting the system first.

    How to Install Windows 10?

    What you're suggesting is correct - it'll work. An easier alternative to messing in the bios is to press F12 (yours might be different) when the system logo is being displayed during boot. That will display a boot selection menu where you can select the USB drive as the boot device.

    Motherboard remains powered after shutdown

    If you have a USB port in your PC that delivers power when the PC is off, then that is what is causing the power draw. You would have to turn that feature off in the BIOS to eliminate the power draw.

    windows 10 using way too much memory

    You need to understand something about windows memory management. The philosophy is memory unused is memory wasted. If you think about it it's true. Most available memory SHOULD be used. It's just that the management of the memory needs to be done well. Windows does a pretty good job of it left...

    windows 10 using way too much memory

    Too many browser windows open. Cut down on that. BTW, how much ram do you have? If you like alot of stuff running at once, then 16GB is appropriate. Also, are you running the 64-bit edition of win?

    Windows 10 on PCIe SSD very slow and failed installation

    try this. Save off the ISO. Use rufus to prepare the usb stick. It should be set up for UEFI, and FAT32 (not NTFS).

    Windows 10 on PCIe SSD very slow and failed installation

    There is too much missing info to be able to help. How are you installing windows? Via USB or DVD? Where did the iso come from? How did you prep the USB drive if you used one?

    PC won't post with new memory upgrade

    Are you adding memory modules as a pair? Motherboards don't like odd numbers of memory modules, and frequently won't post with an odd number of memory modules installed.
