How to do a clean install from my computer?
My computer got very slow of late, and I was told a clean install is the best way to clean it up. I don't have an XP disk that the computer came with one, but I do not have the Toshiba restore disk. How can I do this without destroying the whole thing?
What model of laptop do you have?
Just to boot from the recovery disk and it will reload Windows to its factory condition.
Do not forget that it will wipe all your data! So back up your data before executing the recovery.

H8 - 1520t: how to do a clean install of windows 10 on another drive?
Hi all.
Today, I decided to make the transition to windows 10. I want to do a clean install, however, because I recently had an SSD and install the OS on it instead of on my hard drive. First of all, I even need my product key to do a clean install on a new drive? I made a clone of my C: dirve just in case something goes wrong, cordially. My SSD is 100% empty and has 110GB available on this subject, but my main hard drive has about 400 GB of stuff on it, so cloning my drive for the SSD drive is out of the picture.
So basically what I want to know is this: 1. do I need to have my windows key to do a clean install of windows 10 8.1 of windows on a different drive.
2 if not, how to do a clean install on a new drive
3. If I need, how can I get it?
Thank you all
The simplest solution would be to save the data that you want to keep on an external hard drive, then remove this data and programs from the old hard drive so that only the BONE remains. From there use migration software from your manufacturer SSD to clone the old drive to the new SSD using a USB to SATA.
The Windows key is embedded in the BIOS and will be recognized by the computer on any installs. It would be desirable to collect your key, just in case, using Belarc Advisor, which gives you all kinds of info on your computer. Do this before doing anything.

Share your drive and be sure that it is operational. Now you can perform a new installation of the upgrade of Windows 10 using an ISO bootable. See step 5 or 6 of this tutorial:

How to use Skype to call from my computer to another computer
Original title: how to call a computer to
Hello
I can't find the instructions on how to use Skype to call from my computer to another computer so that I can get the video. Help.
TIA,
RS
For a first test, the simplest method is to organize before a time and date when you're both already connected to the internet and connected to Skype.
Then, they appear as 'online' in your Skype contact list. And communicate with them through that. Do not use the phone number.
You need to get them in your contact list, if they are not already in it.
