I will be needing to get a new hard drive for my computer, and in the process, upgrading to Windows 10. However, at some later point, I will drastically overhaul the computer. At that time, I will want to transfer the OS, and a small number of programs to a SSD that will be added at that time. Will this be possible?
Hello, Within the past month, month and a half, a friend helped me build my first PC. Everything I bought was either brand new or maybe a year or so old in terms of when it was released, but regardless, all of the components are fairly new. After we built it, he installed Windows Pro on my PC, however, it wasn't an active…

I recently purchased an Inland Premium 1TB SSD (3D NAND M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4). I cloned my boot drive (C:) to it using Macrium Reflect, but when I attempt to boot off of it, I'm unsuccessful.

After updating Windows 10, I can no longer sign into my account. I'm instead told I cannot sign into my account and I have been logged into a temporary account without most of my files. Is there any way to fix this and re-enter my normal profile? Thanks for any help

I've reinstalled the system 2 or three times by now, and it runs great for a while, but then the entire system tends to slowdown, and it becomes virtually unusable for gaming. I have stable frame rates in the 80s -90s and then after a while of use, i have massive frame drops down to two fps for a second or two. After that…
