Strictly speaking, this is not a solution. But my computer has booted into Windows, so I want to close this thread. While it has booted into Windows, many programs do not work normally, and computer does not shut down properly, and does not always boot up. But I am going on a long vacation soon...

Thanks for the reply. Good point about the 8 TB drive, I remember Windows tried to make an X: drive on that drive. I'm going to bring the computer into a shop, because I don't have a lot of experience building or repairing systems.

My system is listed at https://pcpartpicker.com/user/andy_werber/saved/#view=tQBmD3. I had trouble shutting the computer down a few months ago. After waiting hours for it to shut down, I pulled the plug. I plugged it back in and it booted up just fine. I did a few shut downs that went fine...

Thank you for responding to my question. I went on the Logitech site and chatted online with a help technician. Based on that conversation, he said I had the latest driver. He said a mouse using a Unify receiver uses a Microsoft driver. Update: I attached a wired mouse to my computer and saw...

When I use my mouse the cursor will start moving, then stop as I continue to move the mouse, after a few seconds the mouse will jump to where it should be. I've looked at some sites suggesting how to fix this issue, But nothing helps. I checked the battery, I tried cleaning the mouse, I checked...

I installed the device, we'll see how things go.

Thank you and the other folks for taking the time to answer my question. I found a better used Dell than I originally found, it's much newer.

I'm interested in building a new system with Windows 7 as the OS. I have a list of parts at https://pcpartpicker.com/user/andy_werber/saved/#view=tn3vjX. My requirements are that the price should be minimal, the processor should run at or above 2.2 GHz, and dimensions of the case be <= 16 inches...

I posted this question to find out if I could degrade a Win 10 machine to a Win 7 machine cheaply and without much of a hassle. Many of the replies suggested that it would not be very cheap and might not even be possible. The reply I chose as the best answer helped quite a bit to make that...

Thank all of you who have addressed my situation. I tried using the Win 10 license number to download Win 7, and that did not work. As an FYI, it would cost me $900 to use the most recent TFS ($500 for TFS and $400 for SQL Server), and this is not for a business. But, more importantly, I booted...

Thank you for taking the time to address my question. The program is Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010. The reason for not running under Win 10 has something to do with IIS 6 versus newer version os IIS. I'll try Compatibility Mode. As for the hardware, I'll have to look into that. The...

Thank you for taking the time to address my question. I upgraded the old Win 7 to Win 10 and I used that machine's license number to do the upgrade. That upgraded machine replaced the Lenovo.

Thank you for taking the time to address my question. Mainly the cheapest way to get Win 7.

I have an expensive piece of software that runs on Win 7 that would be even costlier to run on Windows 10. I have a spare Windows 10 machine (a Lenovo tower). I've been looking into installing Win 7 on it (32 bit Win 7 is fine). I'm looking for the cheapest and easiest way to do this. Any...

I bought a card reader (https://www.newegg.com/p/0DS-00DC-00001?Item=9SIACJF5528905). There are gaps in the front panel where the ports for the cards are located - (click to see picture). You can white under the ports in the second row, that's an envelope behind the unit. You can also see a gap...
