Remove OSX and keep only the bootcamp partition

Hi all

After one year, I noticed I never use OSX and I only use Windows on the bootcamp partition.

1. is it safe to remove the OSX partition so I have more room for the bootcamp partition?

2. If I never need OSX once again, I could reinstall?

Thank you

Gert

1. it is safe to do so. Your Mac will not stop doing, worry not. However, you will not receive any new firmware update, so I would advise you to keep the OS x on a small partition at least.

2. you can reinstall OS X whenever you want with recovery of the Internet. To reinstall OS X, you must only press the control, Alt and R keys during start up your Mac, but you need to format the disc first.

  • HOWTO reduce battery and keep only the top image?

    Hi *.

    I make heavy use of the chimneys of the image. After a while, I want to clean my catalog. So I'm looking for a function to 'reduce the stack' as in 'Photoshop éléments multimédia' which keeps the top image only and removes all other images from the stack.

    This feature is available in Lightroom 5.2?

    See you soon

    Tobias

    Select all the vertices (first reduce all the batteries, then filter all those not in batteries), and then expand all, then invert the selection, then delete it.

    Note: it may take a plugin to isolate the photos in stacks (?)

    I use DevMeta, but there are also AnyFilter and DataExplorer.

    (find using the search of iNet)

    Now that I think about it, once you have such a plugin, it can be simpler to use it just to isolate those who are in the stack, but not top - in a "gesture"... (either way works).

  • I have more than one firewall installed product. How I can for deleete all and keep only the MSN Firewall?

    I got like Norman antivirus programs and now I move to Msn essintials. but the computer turned out to be very slow. I scanned the computer with the MacAfee Scan more and I got a message that I have more than one firewall installed, product that could create problems on my Pc I have bleive that I only have widows Firewall now. but the analysis said the contrarey.

    (1) using a router?  They usually have a firewall.

    2) go to control panel and click on security.  Click the down arrow next to firewall and windows will tell you what is running

    (3) you could also look in Control Panel > programs and features for the firewall software like McAfee, ZoneAlarm, or any that you have previously installed.  You can uninstall then from there.  Use the Norton uninstaller to remove the software and/or the traces that were left during uninstall.

    http://us.Norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docURL=20080710133834EN&LN=en_US

    If the computer is slow, check programs and features for applications that are installed but you never or rarely use.  Uninstalling those who help you in speed.  And if you go in program files, search for files left behind from applications already installed.  If more than six months, it is safe to remove them.  Remove temporary files, run disk cleaner, empty the trash, defrag your unit.

  • Is it useful to download the soft both CC and CC 2014 versions or should I keep only the version CC2014

    Is it useful to download the soft both CC and CC 2014 versions or do I keep only the version of CC2014 and uninstall the CC version?

    Because it is heavy enough to keep both versions of all the apps.

    Thanks in advancefor your answer

    If there are features you need, and who were dropped on CC2014, such as the filter of painting with oil, then by all means install both.  Personally, I uninstalled CC and CS 6 and earlier versions.  I can always reinstall if I need them.  Because a single installed version makes interprogramme operations much more simple, as the operating system knows just what program to use to open a.

  • How to remove documents and data in the iphone app podcast 6

    I know how to remove each podcast, but how do I remove "documents and data" in the application of podcast?  I have more than 4 GB of data and documents.

    I think I found a thread that is useful for you: https://origin-discussions-us.apple.com/thread/6822791?start=60 & tstart = 0

    Sonny3301 answer worked for me, «...» "(The steps are: 1) download the Battery Doctor app on your iPhone (it's the first one that appears in the search) (2) hit the"Junk"icon on the bottom and tap 'Clear Cache'." (3) repeat until your space becomes available. The people that I learned this technique of some other bulletin board said it took 10-15 tries; It took me + 30 attempts. The memory savings start small at first, then it starts to hit hundreds of MB at a time. It sounds crazy, I know, but I went to have less than 200 MB of free space for 3.6 GB. Great thing, it was my podcast app had only been hogging to 1 GB of data, so the app battery doctor found 2.6 Go elsewhere. Good luck to you all and you are welcome. »

  • 2 locations to "Program Files" - one on the C partition - and another on the D partition is possible (or option) so that you can 'choose' where to install a program in particular?

    Hello

    It's my first time display questions on a forum like this, so I'll try to explain in detail what I have (somehow... :)).
    Is it possible to have 2 "Program Files" location - one on the C partition - and the other on the D partition so that you can 'choose' where to install a program in particular? I don't really want to get rid from where 'move' the 'Program Files' folder on my C partition (I just do a clean reinstall of Windows XP), BUT I would like to be able to install several programs on the partition D place on C 'by default. "

    Here's the question: I have several programs that have no option to 'choose' where should be installed - they'll automatically C\Program Files. I want to install it on the D partition. If this is not possible, how can I transfer to the new location (once they have already been installed) in their entirety so that they are functional. I don't want to keep the remains, references and 'shortcuts' on the C partition. These programs should begin to malfunction, I have freedom to wipe the D partition and reinstall the programs without messing up the heart of the system.

    I'd appreciate any help, advice and ideas. Regarding my computer experience, I'd put myself in the novice category, detailed explanations would be a lifesaver! Thank you.

  • Is the corrupted Windows 10 download, and if so how can I remove this and re-download the file?

    Original title: upgrade Windows 10

    I have a Dell Studio 1749 under Windows 7 Home Premium.   I postponed the upgrade of Windows 10 to the present day.  The update file appears in the control panel Windows Update Panel, but when I click start it restarts Windows 7 simply and tells me that the new updates have been installed but it was Windows 7 updates since yesterday.

    Is the corrupted Windows 10 download, and if so how can I remove this and re-download the file?    Or maybe another solution?

    Thank you.

    Review:

    Retry the upgrade manually:

    Option 1:

    Download the media creation tool

    Click with the right button on the MediaCreationTool.exe file and then click on run as administrator.

    Note: How to check if you are downloaded or installed the update Windows 10 November

    How to create an ISO or USB drive.

    Select upgrade this PC now and then click Next

    Option 2:

    Task of pre-required

    When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

    then

    then

    • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
    • Reboot several times, and then try again.
    • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
    • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
    • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
    • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
    • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
    • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
    • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
    • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).
