• Reinstall Windows without losing personal files

  I have an external hard drive I have Windows 7 on, but recently it seems to have got some corrupted files because it does not start. It gets past the windows splash screen, and then sits down with a cursor on a black screen. I can move the mouse cursor.

  I think that the best way to solve this problem would be to reinstall all windows files.
  I can plug the hard drive into another computer and view the files of the operating system of the computer.
  In short, what I'm asking if there's a way to reinstall all files in windows without losing all my personal files

  You can perform a custom installation.

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• Tried to open the Task Launcher Microsoft Vista to update a file but got an error to reinstall the OS, now I can't find any of my personal files, etc.

  I tried to open the Microsoft Vista Task Launcher to update a file.   Got an error saying some files had been lost or deleted or something else and I need to reinstall.  Then I opened the disc to reinstall the operating system and reinstalled the operating system.  Now I can't find anything about it either — music, photos, files, contacts, nothing.  I don't even have the software I had installed.  How can I uninstall the operating system, I reinstalled?

• How to delete Windows Update backup files

  In Windows XP Pro, whenever an update from windows update has been installed, a backup file was created (example: C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB977816$) is it a similar backup with windows file 7 about the update of windows, and if so, can it be deleted once it is established that the MS security update is successful?  Thank you, Sam.

  http://taurarian.MVPs.org/WU_XP/removing_old_windows_updates.htm

  Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.

  These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/xxxxxx
  NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

  Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.

• Windows updates store files systems to storage drives

  Both at work and at home, some windows updates (most recent xps prntr drvrs and maintenance windows Setup API) save files in places other than the HD systems. At work, that this is of particular concern because we express limited the size of the bootable hd (system disk) in order to reduce the size of image to backup an hour. With the files added to much larger data drives, the concern is if cela will impact features in windows if these files are not too graphic. We do not have the time or storage space to make all these whenever updates away from their appointed readers...

  Thanks, in advance

  Windows Update download installers of updates on the drive with the most free space. Try disconnecting all external disks before you download an update.

  Alternatively, you can delete the installer manually after the updates were installed.

• HELP V3 - 572 G Windows 10 update NO SOUND and wont play any audio or video file

  Hello world

  I just upgraded to windows 10, very nice update and don't usually return to 8.1, but unfortunately not windows programs will play files, audio or video of any kind and when you use VLC Player or youtube videos, the files will play but no sound?

  I checked all the regular suggestions such as the properties of the device and it claims to work fine etc., sound is not mute, except pass by and update drivers I don't know where to go from here.

  I was going to do a reset, keep my files, remove applications and settings, etc., I was warned it would remove apps, but a lot of what seems to be crucial drivers/programs will have to be re-installed manually. Also after doing a reset, you lose the ability to go back to 8.1

  Since when they were abducted during a reset?

  Any help is very appreciated,

  see you soon

  No, it isn't. First of all, realize that you fornat your hard dive, not Vista. When you format a disk, everything on that drive is removed.

  If you have an external hard drive, copy all your data to him first, and then format and install, and finally copy your data going back to the external drive. ITO shouldn't take terribly long to make copies.

• Can I switch from xp to windows 8 without losing my personal files?

  I intend to go to 8, 8.1 not.  I will be using the download from the Web Microsoft Store site rather than using a DVD copy. Not sure if I need to back up personal files?

  Thank you.

  If you are upgrading Windows XP, you will only be able to bring along your personal files. But as I mentioned earlier, if something should go wrong during the upgrade, you may lose all your files. An ounce of backup protection is worth a pound of unrecoverable files!
