Update Windows 10. It will set up my SSD?

So I just signed up for the update of Windows 10. However, before downloading, I would like to know if it will delete everything on my C: drive (where my Windows 7 is installed). It will keep my same, or what things I need to backup the drive on an external device?

The upgrade to Windows 7 or later will preserve my personal files, applications, and settings?

Yes, the upgrade to Windows 7 or a later version will keep your files staff, settings, and applications.

  • Windows 8 was willing to defragment my SSD

    I recently did a clean hit ("custom") installation of Windows 8 Pro x 64 on an SSD. Through the Control Panel, I was surprised to see that Windows 8 planned my SSD for weekly defragmentation. On the same SSD, Windows 7 turns off on its own defragmentation. I had to do it manually in Windows 8. How is it?

    Hello

    There is no defragmentation in Windows, it optimization. See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows-8/optimize-hard-drive

    With Windows 8, there is an option to 'optimize' a car. It looks like the option defragment in previous versions of Windows. However, Windows 8 recognizes that the disc is an SSD, still says he needs of optimization.

    In Windows 7, WinSAT tool disables the defragmentation on SSD. For reference, see this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2727880/en-us

    In Windows 8, it takes manually.

    Let us know the status of the issue. If you need help, please after return. We will be happy to help you.

  • Update Windows on Windows 7 does not, download now, not working do not at all

    I had not installed the latest updates of windows in a few months (since this summer I think). I had about 50 available updates. When I tried to download selective or otherwise, the download bar would be stuck at 0%. I waited for hours and still nothing. I had not had problems to install the updates before, and it is impossible to know if I was doing something in the months that have 'broken' the update, it is for some time.

    I checked online for solutions. I downloaded and installed two updates that said to help manually (KB3138612 and KB3145739), I installed an update to update windows (?) and the convenience store update windows. I will virus scans regularly is not the issue.

    Now the troubleshooting tool was hit or miss, almost always give me an error that I'm not even sure it is the same thing each time, the last one I got is 0 x 80070057. Once he said it had corrected all the mistakes, but then update windows still didn't quite work. I ran scannow command in the command prompt to check for errors, he found. At some point even the convenience store would not be executed, and I could only get working again with a system restore, so now the steps in the installation of these "helper" updates and new Windows Update Installer are null. I'm guessing there is a specific order, you can do these things, to try to solve the problem should not make things worse.

    Currently, the Windows Update doesn't show updates and when I told him to check the updates he analyzes just forever. What panic me, it's now I am also unable to check the updates, Miss me and I'll even be able to have a way to do it manually. A guide step by step you would know so I make things worse while trying to fix again. Thank you.

  • Update Windows on Windows 7 remains at 0%. Updates will not be installed.

    Windows 7 update does not install updates.  It is said there are 35 updates installed.  The Update window remains at 0% for hours.  I tried to FixIt - no result.  I checked, that is to say, that everything is as it should be.  This computer is a system that adjusts only once a month.  Should I do a clean boot?  I really don't want to reinstall Windows 7.  Any help would be appreciated.

    1. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button, all programs and then click Windows Update.
    2. In the left pane, click view update history.

    When I first installed the new 5.1 icloud, OUTLOOK 2016 worked well. Updated windows 10 and know icloud will not work. ICloud show that it works. Have reinstalled icloud a lot of time and know that the add-in does not show up in OUTLOOK.  Help

    I was pulling my hair re the incompatibility of iCloud and Outlook of Office 365 2016.  I finally got things to work on three of my computers - which are on the latest version of Windows 10.

    The steps that worked for me:

    (1) uninstall the plugin iCloud (what version you have); the uninstall may fail but if so don't worry as step 3 below overlays some iCloud plugin version you have installed

    (2) open the Control Panel, uninstall, change/repair Office 365; Select fast repair

    (3) reinstall iCloud plugin (version 5.1), then restart the system by following the instructions

    (4) after the reboot, plug in iCloud application Apple ID and password; Make sure that you enter your apple with the suffix icloud.com ID (e.g., [email protected])

    (5) check the iCloud options to your will (e.g., photo synch, synchronization of bookmarks, sync mail/calendar, etc.)

    (6) check apply it, leave the work plugin iCloud for a minute, when he finishes, check the closing

    (7) open Outlook 2016 and check your calendar or contacts or anything that you indicated in step 5, that you want to synchronize with iCloud.com

    I hope it works for you!

    I ordered the Dell XP disc and did the re-install. It works fine now. The Dell technical support had me do some updates on the web as well. I have not had problems since. What happened with the automatic updates completely wiped out my operating system. At least I don't have to buy a new computer.

    If nothing else works, try reinstalling your operating system. It worked for me.
