Windows 10 improvement of advice please
I would like to upgrade your desktop Windows 7 x 64 to Windows 10. I am concerned by the problems of default and/or activation upgrade free.
This computer has fonctionnee Win7 for many years. Windows has been installed at the origin of a box with discs version and product key sticker. Last week I had to replace the video card. Win7 still works fine. The boot drive is a 64 GB SSD, which has only about 8 GB of free space.
What I would do is remove the 64 GB SSD boot drive, attach it to another computer as a slave and disc erase using Secure Erase, and then install a new 250 GB SSD as boot drive in the original computer for Windows 10 upgrade installation. Something tells me that this scenario would not rally for the activation of the new update of Win10. But I'm not sure about this, I've read that activation is tied to the motherboard only.
So, I ask to get advice on how to upgrade both to Win10 and change to a larger SSD boot drive.
1. If I first install the new boot drive, must I install Win7 on this disk and then have making hundreds of security and updates SP1? And only then start the process to upgrade to Win10?
2. where can I download Win10 on a USB port and use, as well as my Win7 product key, to install Win10 on the SSD clean without having Win7 on this drive in all?
3 or should I put the old boot SSD drive to Win10 sort of in Win7? If I do this, how can I change to new SSD?
Thanks for any advice on this.

With the next "upgrade" to Windows 10 (called threshold 2) due to be released in a few days it will be a much easier way of Activation. Basically, all you have to do is install Windows 10 (you will not need to install Windows 7 on the new SSD) directly to your new SSD and then use / type your Windows 7 product key to activate Windows 10.
2. where can I download Win10 on a USB port and use, as well as my Win7 product key, to install Win10 on the SSD clean without having Win7 on this drive in all?
With the new version, yes you can.
3 or should I put the old boot SSD drive to Win10 sort of in Win7? If I do this, how can I change to new SSD?
Is not necessary. Simply use secure erase of Samsung or simply reformat the old SSD to remove Windows 7. Or if you want to keep Windows 7 on the old SSD until you have 10 Windows up to a race with no problems, then remove your old product key / more small SSD as follows:
Open a prompt (run as administrator) and quick entry:
slmgr /upk and press the enter"" key.
This remove the old SSD product key and release it for use when you install Windows 10. Windows 7 will still be on the old SSD but in a non-active state.

Hi, I have a problem with my pitch bend wheel on my pc - 300 midi keyboard Roland. The Modulation part works but when I try to pitch bend a note using the same logic of wheel just plays a continuous note. Can someone give me some advice please? Thank you
It's a delicate issue... like some patches cannot stipulate pitchbend...
But to quickly test your pitchbend wheel actually works properly...
Download the free lunch monitor...
Run and see if it sees pitchbend data sent by your keyboard... and therefore by logic.

original title: Gears of War for PC (Vista)
I installed Gears of War game CD on my computer (Windows VISTA) and make me "Please insert the correct DVD - ROM, click OK and restart the application" - but the disk is IN the drive. I've been on the net and does not know what is the problem and why this game will not run. I've installed, uninstalled, reinstalled tried to run as administrator, got the latest patch, all the things that have said all sites to do - anyone have any ideas? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
Hi NoOneSpeciale,
It is very possible that your CD may be damaged. Is it possible to get another copy to try on your machine? Or try this copy on another machine to see if it works or not.
Also check in control panel--> system--> for you Device Manager make sure that there is no yellow/red icon next to the CD player and it's function correctly.Let us know the result, Kevin
