Actually, I ran the boot repair cd tool a second time and it worked. Thanks for your help guys.

I have an old laptop dual-booted with windows 10 and linux mint, I deleted the linux partition from within windows, fully aware that doing so would also delete grub, which had replaced windows' MBR.

The GPU is definitely what needs to be upgraded here, and to determine which card you need, look up the recommended requirements for all of the games you play make a list of all the cards the websites recommended, and but the most powerful one on the list. That way everything that uses less...

Boot you windows 10 cd, and from the drop-down list select 'repair windows installation' and see if it fixes the problem. If repairing you windows installation did nothing, I would use a Linux live cd to transfer all of your files and data to an external HDD, then reinstall windows. If...

Chromium is updated with your system updates, no need to update it from within the software (unless you're on windows). Yes all the apps and addons that work with chrome work with chromium. The browser experience isn't exactly better, it just doesn't have any of the proprietary stuff the Google...

A boot loader is just a tool to manage your different partitions, you still have to partition. If you want to install different distro's without partitioning, I would recommend Virtualbox which lets you have as many OS' as you want without partitioning, and its very easy to delete the ones you...

You could do something like this: http://fr.pcpartpicker.com/product/Jt7CmG/zotac-geforce-gtx-1060-3gb-mini-video-card-zt-p10610a-10l Or you could look at used cards on ebay, they sometimes have better cards for less because they're used.

Mint is best if you are coming from windows and want the easiest setup (flash, proprietary dependencies, and codecs all come pre-installed in mint). Ubuntu is best if you want excellent community support or if you are coming from a mac. Both are very similar (and good) and I am not saying you...
