Missing music files after the upgrade to Windows 10

Original title: windows media player

What happened to all my music files I had Windows 7 when upgraded to windows 10?

Did you do an upgrade on the spot to W10, or did you do a complete new reinstall?

Makes you backup data before hand?

If you did an upgrade in Place your music files should still be there. If you did a clean installation from scratch, they will have been removed.

If you have made a backup before hand (always recommended) or if you have a recent backup, you should be able to restore that. Also, if all goes well, there will be a folder "windows.old" on your PC, which must contain your old music files in folders that they were originally in. Find the folder "windows .old" and navigate in Explorer windows (not IE) to see if you can find them. If you can COPY them to where you want.

  • HP Photosmart C6280: cannot print on C6280 wireless after the upgrade to Windows 10

    Cannot print on C6280 wireless after the upgrade to Windows 10. Have removed the device, but try to re install the printer when is not found. Can print if I connect USB. Tried to reload the driver using HP Support software help, but when he arrives at the end of the download fails.

    Hi @Ron9871,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see that you are unable to get your printer HP Photosmart C6280 wireless printing. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

    I would like to try the steps in this guide, "offline" Status Message printer (Windows 10).

    If the problem persists, you may encounter an IP address conflict. It's a good idea to assign the printer a static IP address outside your DHCP range. For example, some routers default DHCP is located between 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.200. So, I would use 192.168.0.232.

    • Print a Page of Network Configuration menu of the printer front panel. Note: the IPV4 IP.
    • Type the IP address in the browser to bring up the SAP.
    • Choose the network tab, then wireless on the left side, and then select the IPv4 tab.
    • Select Manual IP.
    • Enter your IP address manual (192.168.0.232)
    • Enter 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask, except if it is different.
    • Enter the IP address of your router that sits on the Network Configuration Page) for the default gateway.
    • Please, click on manual DNS server. For the preferred DNS Server Manual please enter 8.8.8.8 and the Alternate DNS Server Manual, please enter 8.8.4.4.
    • Click on apply.

    Please restart the router, the printer and the computer in this sequence.

    If you're still having problems, please download and run the print and Scan doctor, it will be probably diagnose and fix the problem you are experiencing.

    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (she print or scan, error messages)

    You can try to change your WSD printer port by a Standard TCP/IP port.

    To do this, you will need your current IP address printers.  The Network Setup page shows the parameters of network for the product. To print this page; Press the button of network () on the control panel of the product.

  • Could not find photos after the upgrade to Windows 7

    Bridge worked very well under Vista, but after the upgrade to Windows 7, I can't find one of my photos with bridge files.  Photoshop CS4 find them OK and made Lightroom, but for some reason Bridge does not list the sub folders.  If I click on libraries, he says "no file".  It does not list the pictures or my pictures.  I'm totally stumped.

    I tried all combinations of ctrl-click, click and ctrl, etc, I can think of but nothing reveals the reset box.  When I double click on the desktop icon, it loads almost instantly leaving no time to press ctrl before loading.

    One thing I did not mention, is that you must check that the bridge is already done in the background.  Open the Task Manager and click the processes tab and see if bridge.exe is listed.  If program so quit smoking.

    If you have the possibility of automatically loading at startup deck, I recommend that deactivate you in the Advanced preferences file.  It causes more problems than it solves.
