• Upgrade to Windows 10 erase all files and programs now on my computer, or make it unusable?

  Upgrade to Windows 10 erase all files and programs now on my computer, or make it unusable?  I have since I have not answered on this site, I headed to the computer store, 'Best Buy', to see if their staff or their staff of in-house computer repair people called "Geek Squad" could answer this question.  NONE OF THEM COULD.

  Well up to now, I had a lot of problems with windows 10. Some programs do not work. My wireless guard is disconnected. And when I restored it windows 8.1, my browsers did not work. It's just on a single computer. Others have not yet verified, I'm very satisfied with the situation. He also removed my antivirus program.

  The biggest problem is with the software I paid for and that you do not have a disk to reinstall. WHY - because today ' today, software publishers want you pay every month, and when things like that, go bad, there is no record of re - install the software. I spent hours trying to solve this problem, but until now I'm waiting for Microsoft's online live chat 194 minutes go.

  I would say that they should have ethics applied to developers of software for this kind of things don't happen. How unfair is that they release a product with a ton of bugs simply because developers are too lazy to correct the problems before its release. They must be charged a fine for lack of ethics in programming.

  So to answer your question - so far the files are still there, but has great difficulty with the programs works not as they did. In addition, if go back you to an earlier version of windows, it seems that they made it impossible for previous versions to work as before without having to reinstall all the software you have.

  I'd wait until they have corrected most of the bugs. I'm stuck, but you're not.

• Folders, files and programs from a folder called 'research', can I get back them?

  I found a folder named "research." I looked at it and saw that can be found just about everything I downloaded. Movies, etc. I started to delete some and realized that I should not delete. Tried to recover - no chance. Half my office has disappeared, and lots of folders and files and programs are gone, I'm in a mess. Any suggestions, other than a.38?

  I really hope that someone can help you. I'm at my wits end, thinking that I can't do anything. I need help. Is there anyone out there?

  Also a 38 a clean reinstall is your best option.

  Sometimes to try to solve the problems takes longer than a reinstall.

  In addition, a resettlement gets rid of questions that your computer has.

  Save the link and it's also for others to read this post wishing to purchase Service Packs for Vista as long download time saved and you can use them download are a problem or you reinstall your operating system.

  If you later reinstall OS and you install the drivers manually install the Service Packs right after OS reinstalled before installing any drivers. You can first install the drivers but it is better Service Packs first as sometimes when you install a Service Pack after the drivers, you can find some drivers do not work and you have to reinstall these drivers.

  For people using the original image, your drivers are already installed then install Service Packs just after the factory restore before installing applications or devices or download Windows updates.

• Installed Windows 7 Professional, Easy Transfer helped to transfer all files. Programs not listed

  I used Easy Transfer to transfer the entire selection available through transfer is including Program Files, program data and the AppData (inside the user's home directory. The program seems to be installed, but some of them are not listed in the Start Menu. None of them appear in the Uninstall list of programs. Also, some programs such as MS Office launch when I try to open the exe file in the installation directory. Other programs like winzip have been installed again when I opened the program executable in the installation directory, while others like firefox opens as if nothing was (with my already open tabs).

  This uniformity?
  What should I do if I want to use, lets say that MS Office now? Are the installed files in program files, but I can't open the executable files.
  Thank you very much

  I'm sorry, but you have been deceived, Windows Easy Transfer does not Support Program Files, you need to reinstall those of their original installation discs.

  Can I transfer programs?

  No. Windows Easy Transfer only transfers program settings, not the programs themselves. To use the programs from your old computer, install them on your new computer, and then transfer the files and the settings for these programs. It is possible that certain types of programs, such as security and antivirus programs, may not work with this version of Windows.
