Win7

I have a PC here that has Windows XP running, and I want to upgrade it to Win7. The only problem is, when I load the installer, it wants to find the floppy disk in partition A:\, and I don't even have a floppy drive to begin with. I tried disabling it from the boot order in the BIOS, the...

So, I'm a dork but I've been out of the HW scene for a while, I didn't even know AMD made graphics cards. I recently bought a 6600 and set it up in a Win7 server, I did get it working but after an update or something it started giving me a weird error "Failed to create OpenGL context for format...

Why am I all of the sudden getting "HDCP Support Required" errors in Win7 Media Center? Until Silicon Dust people get licensing approved to support playback/record of DRM protected files, I have resolved to stick with WMC. I am currently running Win7, MSI z8715 mb, i5 cpu, 16gb memory...

I have a Dell laptop with Windows 7. It's working. I would like to set it aside but use it from time to time, knowing that someday the hard disk will fail. When it fails, I'd like to be prepared to put a new hard disk in it, recover / restore, and go back to using it from time to time. I...

So I installed Windows 7 to my 1TB SSD last night, got it all up and running with drivers and stuffs then noticed my DVD/Bluray drive was missing. I used the device manager to scan for hardware changes, Windows Update would pop up for a moment, try to install the driver for the Standard Dual...

Hey all, I recently tried installing Win7 on my Win10 PC to create a dual boot but when I got into Win7, it doesn't seems to recognise any of my hardware. Not even the USB will work. I tried a few things to try and fix this but with no luck. The Intel website said 'Intel HD Graphics 610'...

I am having issues with my computer shutting down (no restart) out of nowhere while gaming. The issue arose initially while playing World of Warcraft and continued with Overwatch, each time it suddenly shutting down after ~15 min, having to unplug my PSU and plug it back in before restarting...

Hello, I have been recently experiencing problems with my older lenovo laptop. Almost every day (when the computer wakes up) I have a bluescreen or two before it can be used normally. Tried googling around, checking the minidumps and memory dumps by "WhoCrashed", "BlueScreenView" or "WinDbg"...

OK, So I have been putting off upgrading from Win 7 for as long as possible. Everything I hear about 10 sounds awful. The privacy concerns especially. But now I heard that if you register Win10 with a motherboard or other hardware, you will be "locked" to that hardware with that version of the...
