Hello, A friend of mine is staying in my house in another country for a week and he needs my WiFi password. So now the problem is that I cant find where all these passwords are saved. Of the WiFi I'm currently connected to, it is easy to find, but I cant find it of the WiFi of my house that is...

Hello, So already a while back I updated from windows 8 to windows 8.1 on my Asus g75VX and one of the first things I noticed was that in Skype the microphone wasn't working. I didn't really Skype much back then, but soon I will be moving countries and the microphone will be important. The...

What you're having is the same problem I had. There is a simple solution, though it will cost you a few $$$. Buy Arconis True Image and use that program to Clone your HDD to the SSD. From trying many MANY programs, that is the only one that will clone a larger HDD to a smaller SSD, keep both...

I ended up buying Arconis True Image and used that program to clone the OS on the HDD to the SSD. Worked without a hitch and afterwards all I had to do is change the boot order! 14 second boot time and blazing fast! :D

Probably the best thing I can do at the moment. Thanks.

At this point I've scrapped the "No reinstall rule", but there still doesn't seem to be a solution without my original disk that came with my laptop (lost it while moving), and getting the Windows 8 ISO and making it work with my OEM wndows installed laptop seems impossible. Sadly, I think you...

I tried the code several times, but still no success! Several sources say that the generic code is only for once you have downloaded the installer. Others say this is ridiculous (me too!). The code only works after its downloaded and being installed, but you need the code to download...

Sadly, after trying both W8 and 8.1 installers, it says "this product key cannot be used to install a retail version of windows 8/8.1". I didn't get an error of "This product key didnt work. Please try again" which I would have if I misspelled it. From Belarc, it is under "Software Liscense" at...

I was actually looking at that as you spoke. Using that program, it detected my Windows key to be for windows 8.1, but I bought it with windows 8.0 preinstalled. This is probably because I updated through the store, but did it change my key in the process? I guess I will just try both installers...

Hello! The cloning went successfully, but when I tried to boot from it, is said "setting up windows" and then booted to a black screen with cursor. ctrl-alt-del was the only thing that worked and from that, the task manager could not be started, neither anything else. Then I shutdown and changed...

Just found something strange! EaseUs Todo Backup, when run as administrator and setting the whole SSD as one large empty partition and ticking the box "Shut down automatically after complete" now suddenly allows cloning with optimization for the SSD. Strange... very strange... Will report back...

Yes, I actually do have Bitfender installed and scan it regularly. No issues with that. And I have done several disk checks, defragmentation, optimisation and done SFC /Scannow as well... no good luck still. Also, all updates are up to date. I tried to install the trial of Arconis True Image...

I have got no cracked software installed and the HDD has got only about 120gb of data on it (moslty from 3 games), so that part is fine. I believe the code for the software of OCZ might be region-specific, similar to steam games, and I bought the SSD in Singapore, but installed it and live in...

Hello everybody! So I have my Asus G75VX with Windows 8.1 and I have bought an SSD with it (OCZ Vector 256gb) and I need a good cloning program that can clone my OS from my 750gb hdd to the ssd. And I cant reinstall windows on it (I've got my reasons... don't ask why). So far... -The program...
