Windows 06:50 by using disk

I want to go back to Windows 7 after struggling with 10 in recent weeks. I backed up all my precious stuff to a flash drive and have the original disc of OEM for Windows 7.

In plain language, step by step, can someone tell me how I get rid of 10 and reinstall 7 please. I'm an old man or not computer. See you soon. Jeffers

  • Windows 7: C:\ of used disk space increase GB on windows updates.

    I have a new Windows 7 system. I noticed that whenever I do a windows update and some time after I do an update, exhausted C: increase GB disk space. He went, as seen in the properties of C:,18.2 GB to 25.6 26.1 to 26.5 to 26.7 at 26.8 GB in 1 month. These sizes are shown in the properties of the c of theoutside of C:. I started to monitor the size of the disk and found that if I go in the C: drive and highlight all the files and folders visible and hidden and then ask properties it shows constant23 GB and shows that properties outside C: C: drive showed25.6 GB. The C: Windows folder shows constant 14.6 GB. So why the gap between the inside and the outside and why the increase in size?

    I used the disc cleanup etc but the problem remains.

    Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

    A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.

    cCleaner also comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

  • I'm on windows vista, the review said that I have a file that uses disk space

    I 'm on windows vista the healthcheck says I have a file using disk space, the file name is windows.old, if I just delete this, then it will hurt my laptop, I looked at the file and there are thousands of articles, my laptop is slow, what I'm doing. My system is 32 bit. Will someone please advise me in laymans terms I'm not exactly a pro with laptops.


    The Windows.old subfolder contains all of the files from a previous installation of Windows. If you copied all your personal data of the user subfolder of windows.old. Then, it is safe to delete.
    And, since it is the Windows Update forum, which focuses on the update of the issues, this question must be validated in a more appropriate forum. Such as the

  • Why did Windows 7 freezing when using Firefox?

    S ' went for months now with many attempts to identify the cause. Came to the conclusion that it is Firefox but can't understand why.
    -If you use Firefox, my whole PC, not only Firefox freezes. Sometimes in the first 5 minutes of use of Firefox, other times it can happen an hour in a session. A hard reboot is the only way to get back to my Office I waited an hour before, after a freeze and nothing happens. The mouse pointer move, nothing.
    D ' first thought it was a hardware problem or a problem of antivirus protection.
    -Reinstalled windows on three different hard disks that all have the disk check. Still happens
    -Installed windows 8 to see if this could solve the problem. Nope, did the same thing on Windows 8.
    -Ran Memtest 86 + 14 hours overnight to see if it was my memory. No, zero found errors of memory
    -To be sure I even tried to use only a strip of ram in my PC at the same time to see if the chopsticks were bad. No, it froze with each stick
    -Tried to change my anti-virus. He froze with every single one, AVG Free, Avast free, Microsoft Security Essentials.
    -J' realized that my PC freezes only when I'm on the web in firefox. If I use chrome or Internet explorer, it doesn't happen. These total PC freezes happen when I use firefox.
    -My only adds on / plug that I use is Adblock more and more those who come with default Firefox.
    -My firefox is updated, I reset and reinstalled [everything by adding only Ad Block +] and again, this does not solve the problem
    -In the event log window, the only thing that happens every time my PC freezes is the error "Session"Microsoft Security customer OOBE"stopped because of the following error: 0xC000000D", why this would affect Firefox, I don't know.
    -I would like to understand the cause of this because I really want to use Firefox again.

    I finally understood that Firefox isn't the problem with this problem, but it's actually the Nvidia drivers. It's a shame as Nvidia pushes the hard driver updates. Drivers to eliminate this problem are 314.22. After you have uninstalled the latest drivers and replacing them with 314.22 I did have the problem at all in any program, including Firefox.

    Here's a thread from Nvidia on the issue.

    https://forums.GeForce.com/default/topic/596642/GeForce-drivers/please-help-event-ID-14-from-source-nvlddmkm-cannot-be-found/2/

    I had to replace a lot of my material before I figured out it was the Nvidia drivers because I don't have the correct error message on my old set up which pointed me in the direction of the video card.

    If someone has this problem I highly recommend demotion to 314.22 driver version if you have a Nvida GPU in your system.

    I'm very disappointed in Nvidia for not solving this problem after 15 + updated since 314.22 driver.

  • Use disk utility to erase hard drive, erase everything, it

    I just use disk utility to erase the hard drive of Windows base.  It has 6,2 GB of space.  The erase process takes only a few seconds.

    I read that it could take hours.  I suspect that he does not erase the hard drive.    I have several old PC drives and want to use disk utility to erase.

  • HP DV2700 - Vista using disks fails to make the preinstallation of office software

    I'm trying to help my daughter long distance.

    His laptop crashed and she didn't know why and impossible to restore using disks or F11.

    She is more concerned about its data and had the drive removed and placed in an external USB enclosure to access its files later.

    A new HARD disk has been placed and she began to do a restore from the disks, she did years back.

    Everything went along and then at the level of the office, she said that it is on part 2 to preinstallation of software

    and he gave him a warning that windows cannot complete the installation.

    She restarted and got a screen that said Windows installation.

    She tries again to the procedure.

    While that's going on, can someone tell me what could be the problem?

    One of the most common causes of this problem (that I've seen) is that most new hard drives sold today are Advanced Format that triggers Vista and Windows 7 recovery discs. If she can get a disk hard no AF, it should have better luck.

    Sometimes, it works to prepare a new hard drive with the utility from Cyberlink cd first. Download and save the file. Once the download is complete, place a blank cd in your drive and click on the downloaded file to create a boot cd. Start with this cd and wait until you get a green check mark indicates the hard disk is ready. Remove the cd, insert the first disc of recovery and restart the laptop.

  • Cannot use disk utility to create the partition of the free space on the external USB drive.

    I have a red 3 TB Western Digital drive in a USB hard drive docking station.

    The reader is GPT, and I have two volumes on it (a single volume is "Microsoft reserved", another volume is NTFS).

    The other part of my drive is 1.5 TB of free space. I want to create a new partition with free space so that I can put backups Time Machine encrypted external hard disk.

    I checked free space on the drive with my Windows machine:

    DiskPart displays 2 partitions - a 128 MB and the other GB 1267 with 1526 MB of free space.

    I took the hard drive of my MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 and pulled towards the high disk utility, but for some reason, that it does not resemble the disk utility it is to see the free space, so I can't create a new volume.

    Here are a few screenshots:

    ... of the NTFS volume in disk utility:

    ... of the partitioning settings page. Notice how the sign is grayed out (I can't create another partition):

    I'm a new Mac user. My company recently gave me a Mac, so the first thing I want to do is to create a new partition on this external USB drive to put backups Time Machine figures on it.

    In the research I did find a way to do it on a mac computer without erasing the drive and starting over. But you can go to your windows computer and partition the free space of disks. Then use the mac to set the free space as mac os extended journaled. Here's what I found. http://www.PCWorld.com/article/2066191/how-to-partition-a-hard-drive.html the only other way would be to copy the file on the external drive, somewhere, so you can delete it and re partition for windows and mac. Then reinstall windows files. I'm not familiar with windows systems.

    FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial

    If you could play before commercial video DVD...
    do a system restore to a time before this started

  • Do I have to select delete using Disk Clean-Up to correct the winsxs problem of scanning.

    I know this question was asked by many and I tried different patches. (File Checker system, the disk cleanup - but do not know what that should be deleted that it can fix) Do I have to select delete using Disk Clean-Up to correct the winsxs problem of scanning.

    The only thing I'm wondering: what is the cause of the accident of the Winsxs folder while scanning?
    As stated in other threads, winsxs folder causes the scan hangs any scanner is used. Is it because of the size of the folder? What is a particular problem in the folder?
    The file it crashes on changes each time and that makes it more difficult to identify the exact problem.

    If the problem is directly on the winsxs folder and not the compromised computer with virus, malware, etc... There will be a fix to it by Microsoft? Or if the problem is not related to the Microsoft Windows software?

    I just want to be sure that the crash of the scanner is not due to viruses, software, malware or any other infection.

    Windows component clean tool

    The component of Windows Cleanup tool (COMPCLN.exe) allows you to delete the files that are archived after Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2008 SP2 is applied. It also removes the files that were archived after Windows Vista SP1 has been applied, if they are on the system. Running this tool is optional.

    Installation of service packs of Windows Vista increases the amount of disk space used by the operating system. This space is used to archive files so that the service pack can be uninstalled. As a general rule, you must run COMPCLN.exe if you want to recover this disk space after applying SP2, and you won't need to uninstall SP2. After you run this tool on an image, you cannot uninstall Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2008 SP2.

    This tool can be used online or offline.

    Option Description

    /? or /h

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    And get a recovery media to reinstall Vista:

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
