Advice needed on the upgrade of the OS

Hello. I have an Inspiron 5759 running win 10 Home 64 bit...

I have an ISO of Windows 10 education of Dreamspark.

I'm in two minds and would appreciate some advice.

Firstly, I would like to completely reformat the hard drive and perform a clean install of win 10 Education. The downside is:

  • I don't know what Dell has put on the partitions, I would lose some features? For example, Dell diag equipment?

  • I need to reinstall a lot of software.

But my instincts tell me that this is the best way to go. Is it possible to keep the extra Dell of programs on other partitions?

The alternative to a clean install is an upgrade, has anyone done this? What is your vision, update own vs?

T.I.A.

ALI1EAR,

You can install the ISO of the education of 10 Windows. You can keep the Dell Diagnostics partition and delete the rest. Yes, you need to reinstall the software in the system. Also, you need to reinstall all drivers for the hardware as well.

You can also watch the 2 versions of Windows 10 in dual-boot. May be easier for you with this option.

    I own a X 300 - 112 Qosmio laptop that contains two hard drives SATA 200 GB. I would like to improve the storage on this laptop by deleting the hard drives (the non-OS one) and replace it with a bigger (to 1-1, 5).

    What is your opinion on this? Can I choose any hard disk that I love?

    Any brand, as long as it is 2.5 SATA-300 "?" Maybe a "Toshiba MQ01ABB, 2 TB?

    My first thought was changed to HARD drive which contains the OS and replace it with fast SSD. If you can increase the performance of s for laptop. Second HARD drive to store data can be the HARD drive.

    Anyway, if you want to Exchange second that I see here no problem so I think you can choose any brand. Essence, it is the price. Do not buy more expensive.

    To be honest I have not experience with 2 TB portable hard drives, but I think this should work. If not, send it back.

  • Advice needed on the installation of an operating system for my laptop

    I have a laptop which has 3 hard drives, my main 'C' drive Vista pre-installed and is almost full... I want to use the other 2 hard drives, local drive "D" and "F" of the data, how can I go about it?  Am I right in thinking that I must install an operating system on them, that is for Vista, and as it has been preloaded on my laptop, how do it on the other 2 drives?  I'm not at all in computing, and any advice would be welcome, because I really need to be able to make use of all this space!  As I have Vista already installed on my main drive and a product key (no), can be installed on the other 2?

    Thank you.

    If it won't let you follow the signs to extend your C: drive, contact the manufacturer of your laptop.

  • Advice needed on the desktop Inspiron 3650

    Hello world

    I need to buy a new desktop computer and I had a look at the new Inspiron 3650.

    It is in my budget and seems to have pretty decent specifications for what I need, I'd go for the model i3 with 8 GB of RAM at £349. I would like to know if this would be good for the upgrade in the near future. I would like to add a graphics card dedicated, a pretty cheap, less than 70 pounds, nothing complicated and maybe upgrade the processor at any given time. Do you think that this office would be appropriate?

    I mainly use for browsing web, web design and development work so I'll use things like dreamweaver, photoshop, etc., maybe some video basic editing as well, I don't use it for games. My budget is only £450, but I might go to 500 books to a boost if you can recommend anything else, so it comes with a monitor.

    Thank you.

  • advice needed on the construction of a lab NSX (topology)

    Hi all

    I am currently building a nice vSphere lab to test the NSX.

    When I look around (on the web), I see different configurations and there are two scenarios that I'm doubting everything and I need your advice, which is better to use and why:

    Configuration of the Lab 1:

    • 1 x Compute Cluster with three host ESX (Compute Cluster A)
    • 1 x Compute Cluster with three host ESX (Compute Cluster (B)
    • 1 x management & Cluster Edge with two host ESX (M & E Cluster)
    • 1 x Distributed Switch that runs through all the Clusters and hosts

    Configuration of the Lab 2:

    • 1 x Compute Cluster with three host ESX (Compute Cluster A)
    • 1 x Compute Cluster with three host ESX (Compute Cluster (B)
    • 1 x management & Cluster Edge with two host ESX (M & E Cluster)
    • 1 x Distributed Switch run across Clusters of calculation A + B
    • 1 x switch distributed across the Management & Cluster Edge (M & E Cluster)


    The difference between the two is that in the #1 I use only 1 Distributed Switch and in #2 I use two.


    But I'm having difficulties to determine WHY I'd go for #1 or #2, because the two configurations seem valid to the me.


    Of you please explain be what is the best way to go, and why this is?

    All advice is appreciated.

    A key factor is that you can only create a single dvPortgroup to transport VXLAN by VDS. If you can often treat him differently through the clusters - for example (in production) LACP for compute clusters of active failover / standby and then to the Edge cluster. There is good coverage in the NSX - v design around this guide. So as a starting point, it gives you flexibility in how you treat this portgroup if you have more than one VDS. Another aspect could be if you need run so your transport VXLAN on L3 and would like to use another tag VLAN on the portgroup to different sets of hosts. In a laboratory he perhaps won't be much inside according to the depth you want your test to go...

  • Advice needed on the way to store large amounts of data

    Hi guys,.

    Im not sure what the best way is to put at the disposal of my android application of large amounts of data on the local device.

    For example records of food ingredients, in the 100?

    I have read and managed to create .db using this tutorial.

    http://help.Adobe.com/en_US/air/1.5/devappsflex/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7d49. HTML

    However, to complete the database, I use flash? If this kind of defeated the purpose of it. No point in me from a massive range of data from flash to a sql database, when I could access the as3 table data live?

    Then maybe I could create the .db with an external program? but then how do I include this .db in the apk file and deploy it for android users device.

    Or maybe I create a class as3 with a xml object initialization and use it as a way to store data?

    Any advice would be appreciated

    You can use any way you want to fill your SQLite database, including using external programs, (temporarily) incorporation of a text file with SQL, executing some statements code SQL from code AS3 etc etc.

    Once you have filled in your db, deploy with your project:

    I understand your desire to teach your son PC maintenance but replacing motherboard isn't really PC maintenance.

    Take your PC to a competent local PC repair shop and maybe they will allow your son to learn the process.

  • Some advice needed on the withdrawal of the deltas of remains

    After 3 attempts failed to a backup, I was left with several snapshots. I did a withdraw all but I'm left with delta files. It seems to be two methods to commit the deltas. The first is to stop the virtual machine and clone the drive. The second is to create a new snapshot from the command line and then do another delete all. Since the virtual machine is started, since I would rather not have stopped. One had a lot of experience / success with both methods.
