What are the files will keep its function?

After having some problems with Windows Update and not being not able update 8.1 or 10, I decided to use the "Refresh" function to reinstall Windows without losing some important data.

Problem is, I don't know what will be wiped.

I know that refreshing will remove all programs that are not metro and that documents and images will be kept, but I don't know how.

It will keep only My Documents, Images and video files? Or it will keep record of any user (AppData, downloads, Favorites, desktop)?

Hi Luke,.

Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

If your PC does not perform as in the past, and you don't know why, you can refresh your PC without delete all of your personal files or change your settings.

Applications that you have installed Web sites and DVD is deleted. The applications provided with your PC and applications that you have installed in the Windows store will be resettled. Windows puts a list of apps removed on your desktop after you refresh your PC.

Note: We recommend that you keep a backup of your data just in case a problem occurs when running of refreshment.

Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  • What are the devices will be extensible to OS 5.0?

    Now that the OS 5.0 JDE Beta is out, I wonder when I'll be able to start using it. The question for me is what are the devices will be extensible to OS 5.0? I'm mainly interested in the enterprise space (upgrade via BES?), but the consumer (updates through carriers?) space is also interesting.

    I have not seen instructions update. Have I missed them?

    I think the 8700 to pearls later devices are extendable to 4.5, that this includes:

    8700,

    all Pearl 81xx

    88xx

    83xx

    As far as I know, there is no support 4.6 or later version for these devices.

    4.6 devices and later versions include:

    Flip 8220

    Storm

    Hello

    Delete files using disk cleanup
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup#delete-files-using-disk-cleanup=Windows-7

    Clean all the files on the computer:

    System Restore and shadow copies. With this option, you can remove all but the most recent point on the restore disc.

    Use system restore to return your system files to an earlier point in time, restore points. If your computer is running normally, you can save disk space by removing the previous restore points.

    In some editions of Windows 7, restore points can include previous versions of files, called the shots and backup images created with Windows complete PC Backup. These files and images will also be deleted. For more information about system restore, refer to what is system restore?

    I hope this helps.

  • Backward compatible? Can I write software in 2015 SP1 and expect it to work well in 2013 SP1? What are the features will not work?

    I need to set up some labview on my current computer software and run it on another computer in another country in a month. I was told that the computer I will eventually run from abroad Labiew 2013 SP1. I don't have a Labview on my computer today and thought I would setup the same SP1 version ito 2013 compatibility. However, it seems that this is not an option. When I go to download products my options are 2012, 2012 SP1, SP1 for 2014, 2015 and 2015 SP1.

    So what's the best move here? Can I install 2015 SP1 and wait that everything works ok when I go abroad? I guess not. Why 2013 SP1 is not an option for me? Should I see if guys abroad can upgrade to the latest version? What happens if they can't?

    Thank you

    Trevor

    As others said, the best option is to get the same version. If for some reason you cannot really, I suggest you get an older version, because then you can write the code in a newer version and backsave, there are at least two issues that may bite you if you are not well aware of how they work:

    1. If you have used the new features, they will not work in the old code. What you get in fact depends on the specific feature you are using.
    2. When you backsave, I'm sure that LV is a hierarchy save, which means, if you have screws located in the external files that are not vi.lib, it will create copies and you might have a more difficult time sorting out the dependencies.

    This occurs if you are using an older version, because the most recent version will simply open it.

  • What are the files in library with "S"?

    Hello

    I've been adding PlayBook of targeting my system to build command line, and I came across something I'm curious about.

    In the lib files, there are your typical library files like libGLES_CM.a, libGLESv2.a, .so versions and so on. However, there are variations of these files with s in names: libGLES_CMS.a, libGLESv1_CMS.a, libGLESv2S.a, libEGLS.a and so on.

    What is the S?

    I suspected that the S might have meant static, but looking at the size of the files, S library files are no more than 1-2 larger k. Otherwise this could mean symbols, but I'm not entirely sold on anyone. I suppose I could run objdump or nm to find there, but hey, I'm here to ask.

    Thank you
    -Mike Kasprzak

    Here are the archives containing the (PIC) position-independent code.  They are suitable for static linking in your own libraries shared, which would not be regular .a files because they are not PEAK.

    Thus, for a given library, you can have the same code packed three ways for different purposes in

    -libxyz.so - dynamically linked execution

    -libxyzS.a - linked statically in a binary PIC as a shared library

    -libxyz.a - linked statically in another archive or an executable program

    Note: Back up your files before you begin reinstalling Windows 7 if possible, even if you have reinstalled Windows 7 on a hard disk partition, and you have personal files on another partition. For example, if you have encrypted files, you will not be able to access them after reinstalling Windows. A custom installation replaces the current version of Windows 7 and all personal files.
