Thanks guys. I really appreciate your knowledge, you are really educating me on the matter. I'm nearly 30, and I never knew somebody could simply take out your hard drive and gain access to all your data on it. In the days of all these advanced biometric scanning technologies I can forgive...

Thanks for the responses. I always thought that the log in basically was the 'key' to un-encrypt the storage. Like a phone needs a password when it's linked up to a PC, i just assumed that you couldn't access the data without a password or finger print. So, I have windows 10 home edition, what...

Hello, tried searching this before posing this question couldn't find an explanation. So, I have a Lenovo laptop running Windows 10 Home, and it originally had a HDD. I replaced that with an SSD and it improved a lot. I kept a hold of my HDD just in case I ever needed to return my laptop within...

The laptop was also really clogged up like the c: drive was less than a gig and i deleted a lot of programs and disabled the hibernation file so it couldn't even get the latest updates so a clean install was severely needed as theres like 7gb free with a lot of programs installed now

Yeah i know. Thing is, it's a non touch screen laptop so windows 8 is horrible on it. Windows 10 is far more straightforward and efficient using a mouse.

Thanks for the reply. I just went ahead and wiped the drive and installed windows 10 after deleting the C: drive in the installation process. Never backed up anything as I was unsure it would even work. Seems to be working all ok now. Again thanks for your halp as i did look into your suggestion.

Would just like to say before my post that i appreciate all the help i get from members on this site as im not an expert and the help goes a long way for me. Thanks a lot everyone. So as the title says, im about to perform a clean install of windows 10. Im doing this from usb on a netbook...

Thanks for everyone's input and advice it is really great to hear everyone's knowledge on the matter, really appreciated. The RAM i was looking at would cost £25 (say 35-40 USD) and that would double the amount. The funny thing I notice is that in task manager under performance where you can...

I tried to avoid asking the community an easy question but honestly I couldn't find my answer anywhere. So my dad has an Intel core i3 processor (5005u) and 4gb ram in his laptop. I was considering upgrading the ram to 8gb (which it definitely is possible to do). And this got me thinking that...

Hello everyone. Again many thanks for everyone's advice, it's really appreciated. So, good news I managed to replace the HDD in my machine with the SSD as desired, without breaking anything. All I done was replace the drives, put in the windows creation media USB stick and turn the machine on...
