    Question PC keeps crashing / restarting mid Windows installation

    Hi folks, So my PC had a BSOD with something along the lines of "critical system failure" and it could not boot again. It would try to self-diagnose and repair without any success. Initially I was able to run the Windows (10 Pro) in safe-mode but then even that stopped working after I tried to...

    [SOLVED] The procedure entry point CreateSemaphoreExA could not be located

    Hi folks, One day I just logged into my PC, which currently runs Windows 10 and I use primarily for gaming, started throwing errors about this CreateSemaphoreExA or ExW depending on the error. Nvidia GeForce Now, Epic Games and Radeon Software all stopped working due to those errors. Steam...

    [SOLVED] Windows 10 suddenly stopped booting from an Intel 660p SSD

    Hi folks, A couple of weeks ago I updated an old build. I got a new B450 Tomahawk Max motherboard alongside an Intel 660p SSD. I had an old Win 10 flash drive which I used to install the OS and which ended up to be a 1703 version. I figured it would update eventually to 2009 but then I read...

    [SOLVED] Can I upgrade the memory of Asus X543MA?

    Alright, but does that mean it can be upgraded to 8GB or that it comes with either 2, 4 or 8GB.

    [SOLVED] Can I upgrade the memory of Asus X543MA?

    Hi folks. Can I know for sure whether I can upgrade the RAM of the said laptop? For what I've found out online, there are two possibilities - the RAM is soldered to the mobo and we can't do anything about it, or in addition to the soldered RAM there is one additional available slot that could...

    Question Unsure whether to remove broken Linux installation in dual-boot mode with Win 10 before cloning to SSD

    Unfortunately, re-installing Windows at this point would be quite inconvenient. However, I could install another Windows on the SSD and keep the one on the HDD as is. Also, does the list at the top of the image not show all the necessary information? Why do you need the bottom part? It...

    Question Unsure whether to remove broken Linux installation in dual-boot mode with Win 10 before cloning to SSD

    Hi folks, I have a dual-boot setup with Win 10 and Elementary OS Juno in the HDD of my Lenovo Y700. The Linux worked great for a few weeks, then it started booting up to initramfs. I tried a bunch of commands I find online but none worked. Last week I installed an SSD (970 Evo+ 500GB) and I...

    Question Cleaning up my HDD partitions and cloning the OS (Win 10) to a Samsung SSD

    Why all but D? I just want the C partition into the SSD. D, E, and F should stay in the HDD. And in the first image from AOMEI, do you think I could delete all of the partitions there except C, D, E, F without any harm to the Windows? Thanks!

    Question Cleaning up my HDD partitions and cloning the OS (Win 10) to a Samsung SSD

    Hi folks, I just installed a 970 Evo Plus in my Lenovo Y700 laptop. I have the stock 1TB HDD as well with a Win 10 and Elementary OS installed. The Linux is messed up and I don't really have valuable information there so my idea is to remove the Linux from the HDD and clone the Win 10...
