• Can delete you an album and the photos it contains in a single operation?

  It is a rare event, but I have a hierarchy 3 about 3 levels of depth of folders and albums containing photos I would like to delete from the folder in the foreground and an iteration completely to the lower level and all folders, albums and pictures are deleted.

  Y at - it I have way to remove the top folder and have the Photos to remove everything below in a single operation? Or do I have to do the hard way, deleting photos first, then albums and finally records.

  The hierarchy looks more or less like this

  Folder-

  Folder

  album - photos

  album - photos

  album - photos

  album - photos

  Folder

  album - photos

  album - photos

  Folder

  album - photos

  album - photos

  ...

  Thanks in advance.

  You must remove the photos and albums separately, because deleting an album does not remove the pictures in the album, it justeremoves of the album.

  • First, select the photos in each album in turn and remove them by entering ⌘D,
  • Then selects the folder including the albums in the sidebar, control-click it or right click, and then select the option 'delete folder '.

• I can trash the Windows.old folder?

  If I'm happy to stay with Windows 10, I can delete the Windows.old folder? It contains 126 956 and 30.1 GB files.

  If I do not need, could reclaim that space.

  Hello:

  If you are absolutely sure you don't need all the files in this folder and that you're absolutely sure that you do not want to return to your previous operating system (or you have recovery discs that can give in any case), then Yes you can delete the Windows.old folder.

  Here's how...

  Run the disk cleanup utility.  Let him do the disk cleanup window.

  Then on the left side of the bottom of the window, click clean up system files.

  Then he turns again and arrives at the disk cleanup window, and you can check all the boxes to remove the files.  One of them will be the windows.old folder.

• Please specify: can I make Windows 7 ultimate (64 bit) to Windows 8 Pro (64 bit) for $40 with a clean install?

  Hiya!

  Looking to upgrade, but I don't want to upgrade in the usual way. I want a clean install.

  I don't want to format the HARD drive and install from scratch. I might even want to buy a SSD and install Windows 8 on my new SSD.

  Basically, is there a way to only pay $40, but get to install it properly?

  Is this ok? He's trying to force me to buy the OEM version?

  How does it work?

  Oh, also, I'm in England so I'll use the UK (£25) version rather than the American version, but it's the same I think.

  I was wondering if it will not work properly or if I have to buy the OEM version, because it does not recognize that I have had Windows 7 originally.

  See you soon!

  Select keep anything during installation is to do a clean install:

  

  Besides being able to keep your Windows settings and personal files, you can keep your personal files too during the upgrade to Windows 7. If you choose No, Windows 8 place your files in a folder named Windows.old. You can delete the Windows.old folder

  How to reinstall Windows 8

  You have two options:

  If you want to reinstall Windows 8, which means remove applications and personal files and settings, you can use the reset and refresh. This is equivalent to a clean install.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  · Press the Windows key + i on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

  · Click settings

  · Click change PC settings

  · Click general in the left column

  · In virtue remove all and reinstall Windows, click Start

  Then follow instructions that will be provided on the screen to reinstall Windows on your PC.

  Option 2:

  If you create an installation DVD or a USB bootable, you can use them to reinstall Windows. First, you will need to reinstall license qualification, then begin the upgrade to Windows 8. License of qualification means that you will need to reinstall Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7.

  Option 3:

  A workaround for this situation is to create a system image of Windows 8, just after you have upgraded. So if your drive plant, you can simply restore the image on a new hard drive or restore the image on the same drive, if you want to reinstall Windos 8.

  See the following for instructions on how to create an image of the installation process of Windows 8:

  http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/24/how-to-backup-your-installation-of-Windows-7/

  (references Windows 7, but the same principles apply to Windows 8).

• I used email TB. My Windows 10 has crashed and had to be reimagee. I reinstalled TB. How can I get my old emails in my new installation of tuberculosis?

  I used TB on system W10, very well. MS has pushed an upgrade for W10 and it totally screwed my system. I had to reimage my system with W10. That worked well, was supposed to keep my data but amazed my programs. This turned out to be true that I reinstalled my programs and data for them were always there. I reinstalled TB, has functioned well, currently able to download all new emails, but I can't find my old emails or my old profile name. Can someone tell me where to look my old data, if by chance its still there? I guess that's all my data was still there, but you never know people with MS.

  OK, think about it. Old profile is located in the Windows.old folder. You can move your old profile from the windows.old folder and place it in the current profile folder, and then go and change your profiles.ini and remove your new profile name and enter in your old profile name, then restart TB. Worked like a champ.

• Can I recover my old version of windows on the computer and use it on my old laptop?

  Original title: windows 8.

  Last year, I bought a new desktop computer Acer with windows 8 and installed my windows professional 8.1 on it!

  My question is! can I recover my old version of windows on the computer and use it on my old laptop because it was purchased with this PC AND how I to get it back?

  I am braking the rules by doing this? the original key was included with the purchase of my new Acer and I should be able to pick it up and install it on another device?

  If I can't, I'll have to buy a new one to upgrade my old windows laptop 7. I'm trying to save money! That's why I ask this question.

  Roger

  No, you cannot transfer the original license that is pre-installed on your Acer, it relates to it because it is an OEM license.

  The OEM of Windows 8 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

• How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?

  Original title: Old files Windows, Program Files, etc.

  I tried to use before Disk Cleanup and it worked, and I haven't run a complete installation.

  I'm having a problem now, this time, and I did a full install.  Disk Cleanup doesn't show any options to remove an old Windows as it did before.

  How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?  I also try to remove the Program Files folder, as well as with an implementation since.

  It is showing an error message "I need to be in the Administrators group ~", and that TrustedInstaller is owner of the present.

  I have a question that "TrustedInstaller" has full authority on the file system, and 'Administrators' has limited access.

  I noticed that there are other three to make a total of four names of users who have all or nearly full access to the file system.

  Can it be fixed... it's pretty annoying to see this continue..., strictly through Windows Update.

  I look forward to your reply.

  Hi Conner,

  Thanks for keeping us posted and share this information with us.

  It is not possible for the drive to shrink. I would like you to check the amount of space on the hard disk after you remove the Windows.old folder.
