Delete duplicates for Windows official.

Hi, I have an Asus x550c which comes with no OS. The seller has installed a copy (pirated copy) of Windows 8 Pro, I hate! Now, I bought the Windows 10 Home official (Boxed/USB) coming soon. Now, I have to delete the Win8 pirate and don't want W10 to postpone my data. Computer says "Activate Windows" when I try to factory reset the laptop. What should I do to install cleanly (fees) W10 on my laptop?

Thank you!

Everything is there to get and keep the best possible Clean install Windows 10

Just make sure when installing up to delete all partitions until the unallocated space, and then create and format partitions of your, or if you want the installation program to do just click next to begin the installation - as shown in the link.

    I continue to receive updates for the points I have not and would like to put an end to their reception.  More precisely: to security update for 2007 Microsoft Office System, which I have on my computer, and Office XP Service Pack 3 that fails whenever I try to install it.  My version of Microsoft Office dates back several computers.  It is 2002, which works well for my needs.

    Is it possible to stop get updated, I don't want or need?

    I have HughesNet, subject to the FAP, and updates Windows Vista me close on the first day I got it.

    Also, is there a way to set the function to download between 02:00 and 7:00 AM EDT?  I can put the installation between these hours, but updates continue to download when they want.

    Duplication did not begin until I tried to load the list of updates.  Continues to tell me the same updates are available and download them if allowed.  Only the update that has been update group above that does not DOWNLOAD is Internet Explorer 8 for Windows Vista, which I am downloading now. When I go to 'historic day' to remove duplicates as indicated in the instructions for help. duplicates above are not listed. Of the; folding situation is on a Gateway laptop.  I am writing this issue on my Gateway PC.

    How to view duplicates in windows media player to delete these files

    Hello

    If you have duplicates in Windows Media Player library, you can try to clear the database of Windows Media Player and check if it helps you to solve the problem.

    Step 1:

    To do this, follow these steps:

    1. exit Windows Media Player.

    2. for Windows 7: click Start, run, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click on OK.

    3. Select all the files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

    Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  • Trying to remove the folders from Windows one system empty, but in error "is a Windows system folder and is required for Windows work.» It cannot be deleted. »

    My parents bought a laptop from a friend, and recently my father ran an antivirus program that came with multiple files in a folder that has been created by this friend. When you try to delete the folder a box appears that says "it is a Windows system folder and is required for Windows work.» It cannot be deleted. "But all the folders inside are empty and of no use to us. Help?

    The standard answer to questions that begin with «I bought a used computer...» "is you can do a clean install of Windows, because you know not what could be hiding somewhere in the computer.  In this case, it seems as if he is infected with something.

    Legally, the seller was required to give you a way to do this reinstall, but in the vast majority of the private sales of used computers, this requirement is simply ignored.

    If it's a laptop to 'mark' (e.g., Dell, HP, IBM/Lenovo) there may be a hidden partition on the hard drive that can be used to restore the computer to its "fresh from the factory" State.  Of course, this will remove all applications that the previous owner had installed after he or she has bought new, but you should still seriously to consider making such a restore, if the mechanism is available.

    What is the name and the version of the antivirus application that has detected the wrong files?
    What are the names of the files?
    What is the name of the folder that cannot be deleted?
    Are you logged on as a user with the rights "computer administrator" when you try to delete it?

    Assuming that you can not or will not do a clean install of Windows, I suggest the following (do not run scans at the same time, each analysis may take some time, depending on the number of files on the computer):

    Connect as a user with the privileges "computer administrator" and do a full scan with each of the following:

    http://www.PCtipp.ch/downloads/Sicherheit/35905/multi_av_scanning_tool.html (page is in German, but the downloaded scanner is in English)

    Also download, install, update and run a scan complete with each of the following:

    Gaara_2k6,
    Welcome to the responses of the Forums.  The short answer to your questions are Yes and no and no.

    Depends on how you format the drive, it will delete everything on the drive.  Now, it may still be recoverable with a software specialist or moving to a data recovery company.

    If you formatted your hard drive you would not be able to start to do anything, because there would be nothing on the startup disk.  With the Windows XP CD or with the recovery media provided by the manufacturer of the PC is the only way to reinstall Windows.

    Where is Snipping Tool? If deleted accidentally, how can I get a copy for Windows Vista?

    Hello Bob w. NY

    Click on the Start button and type capture in the search box menu star. The cutting tool application should appear at the top of the search results.

    As the cutting tool is an integral part of Windows, you might have to reinstall windows to return to the tool. Assuming, of course, you had accidentally deleted.
