Windows saves hardware changes?

I believe that the changes have been made to my equipment to my knowledge but need proof that the existing hardware previously. I had 16 GB of RAM, but now don't have 6 GB. Is there a material change log or dxdiag opens session each time that I see it?

Thank you
Matt

Hello

1. do you have a message indicating the change of material?

2. don't you make recent changes?

I suggest you to refer to this link and check the amount of RAM is installed on the computer:

  • Error recovery Windows (software/hardware change) - No restore points and no disc how to fix?

    Still not too sure what happened or how it happened by the way, but when I turned on my PC today, I had the menu to choose start normally or repair starter system, when I try to start normally, the computer just as it happened to the Windows 7 loading screen. After that there a few times, I tried a system repair... He once checked for any problems and said then that he was trying to fix, but after waiting a few minutes, an error box appeared, saying "Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically" following with send/don't send. After closing the box, I have the option to go to advanced options, which includes the system restore and System Image recovery, but since I have no restore points or Image to recover with, there is not much that I seem to be able to do. I have no idea what to do with it, without the drive I can not install a new version and wouldn't really, because there is a lot of work on there that i prefer to keep, any alternative?

    The Informatics iron law says that important or irreplaceable files must be stored at least two independent media. A lot of people ignore this rule. Some change their backup philosophy until they suffer a great success, others wait until after a disaster. A 2.5 drive "in a box external USB is an inexpensive but very effective backup media. In your case you can probably recover your data by starting on a command Console and copy your files on such a disk, using commands in the console.

    On your inability to start Windows: you have exhausted almost all options, but there is a small chance that you could restore the windows to restore a previous version of your registry files. The process is complex and requires some careful typing. Ask a computer-savvy friend to help you if you lack experience in this field. Note that it may reset your password to a previous value.
    1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
    2. select Repair from the menu.
    3 log in as administrator if you are prompted.
    4. Select repair when prompted.
    5. Select the command line.
    6. identify the correct drive letter for your Windows installation. It could be one drive other than c, but it will not X:. You do this by typing commands
    DIR C:\Win*
    Dir D:\Win*
    dir E:\Win*
    until you find the Windows folder.
    I'll call this "Q:" drive
    7 type these commands:
    CD /d Q:\windows\System32\config
    xcopy *. * Q:\RegBack\
    CD RegBack
    dir
    8. review the dates of the software, system, and SAM files. The files created before or after that is your problem?
    9. If they were made before the problem appeared, you can then type these commands:
    copy software / y...
    /y copy system...
    /y copy Sam...
    (the two points are part of each order)
    10. restart normally. If things don't work then you can go back by copying files from the original register of Q:\Regback to Q:\Windows\System32\config.

  • Pavilion x 2: Windows product key Validation after hardware change (new SSD)

    I have a Pavilion laptop x 2 with a 64 GB SSD.  It came with Windows 8.1 but he now works Windows 10 - of course.  I decided to upgrade the 256 GB SSD.  I bought the appropriate module (a Sandisk).  I recently contacted Windows support to inquire about the procedure to validate the OS once I did the material exchange.  I wasn't sure how it would work since my x 2 Pavilion has incorporated into BIOS product key.  Microsoft told me that because I was going to do a hardware change I would need a new product key (in other words my laptop current product key would be 'blocked').  I was able to recover the product key of my Pavilion x 2 (OEM and installed keys - what is the difference?).

    Does anyone have experience in this field?  Once I have replace the SSD and perform a clean install Windows 10, will be the key to product embedded BIOS validate operating system or it will reject?  Since I'm NOT buying a HP SSD (with preloaded operating system) and that my x 2 Pavilion is now long out of warranty?  I really have to pay over a hundred dollars for a new Windows operating system license?

    Thanks in advance for any advice/help.

    Francis

    Parameters indicate that I have a digital right so with a bit of luck when I change the SSD and install Windows 10, the machine must validate without a qualm.  I tried to see if I could link my Validation of my Microsoft account but I did not have this option on my settings (although in the past when I re-install Windows 10, link validation of my Microsoft account operating system so I guess it works.)  Also, I guess I have the anniversary edition from my machine updated automatically.

    If all else fails, I'll see how it goes after the SSD upgrade and if I have to deal with Microsoft.  I also agree with you that change the SSD (essentially the ' drive') is NOT a significant change in equipment and shall not impose a new product key, but then, nothing surprises me more.

    Your tips were helpful and I thank you.

    First of all, let me apologize if this isn't the right forum for this question.  I arrived to the music and Photos, but now is under maintenance contract.  So here's my problem:

    I just started using Windows Live Photo Gallery and I have a problem to save my changes of photo editing.  I get "an error prevents photo library to save the Photo.  I look for the time past in the help section and cannot find a solution.

    I would appreciate anyone help how to solve this problem.

    Thank you very much, lifesabeach (Gina)

    Gina,

    In addition to what Brian asked;  You have everything installed third-party software may have come with your camera (Kodak software, for example)?  This error can occur because of conflicts that exist with Windows Photo Gallery and some third party applications.  If you do not have some software like that, and have a way to re - install Pleae try to uninstall and see if you still get the error in the photo gallery.  Thank you.

  • Windows Photo Gallery - cannot save the changes when you edit a photo

    Photo Gallery - cannot save changes

    When you edit a photo, I get this message: "unable to save changes to this picture because library has encountered a problem." I tried various things I found online (several threads on this site as apparently others have experienced this too), but none of the ideas allowed. Here's the thing, it worked for years until now. Last week I played ignorance a little with my services, disabling some supposedly speeding up my computer and also played with my Start menu. I don't know that I've changed, however. Can any particular service being disabled cause this problem? Thank you and have a nice day.

    Once you open a Word attachment in an email, you must save it to your HARD drive until you make changes. If you do not, the changes are lost, but the original attachment is still with the e-mail.

  • Windows 8 crashes when running 'find the hardware changes' in the Device Manager, requiring forced stop

    I just installed Windows 8 Pro on a system that were running Windows 7 without problem.  After completing a clean Windows 8 Pro Setup program, I went from hollow driver installation, but found the package to install for my card its caused Windows 8 Pro drivers to lock up and become completely numb.  I had to force a shutdown by pressing the button for 4 seconds.

    Trying to solve the problem, I found that manually install the drivers through the device manager didn't cause any problems.  In addition, installation of the drivers available through Windows Update also worked without problem. However, these two methods fail to install parts of the pilot training included him.  Then I have to uninstall the device from the package of drivers again.  I uninstalled the sound card via Device Manager and selected "Delete the driver for this device."  When I followed this with a "Scan for hardware changes" again the list my sound card, I have found that Windows 8 Hung again.

    After trying other options with no resolution, I tried to reinstall fresh Windows 8.   To exclude a possible problem with Windows 8, I opened Device Manager, as soon as I could after installing Windows and ran "find the hardware changes.  New Windows 8 freezes.  I can't place blame on post installation any software or driver.  This seems to be a problem with Windows 8 itself.

    A final note, sometimes "find the hardware changes" will actually work, but most often it forces the system to hang.

    Does anyone else have this problem?  Can anyone provide assistance? (chart below for comparison)

    Processor: Core i7 3770 k

    Motherboard: MSI Z77A-GD80

    RAM: 16 GB

    Video: GeForce GTX 680

    Audio: Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D

    HARD drive: 1 x Corsair Force SSD 3

    RAID: 3 x 1 TB RAID 5

    It seems that I am victim of dynamic ticks.  Research on my question, I have found several discussions around the ' net for crashes/freezes random in Windows 8, but none of them appeared to agree to my problem.  However, they all had the same solutions.

    Run the following command in a command prompt to disable the dynamic ticks.

    bcdedit/set disabledynamictick Yes

    I thought that I have that would give a shot, and it worked.  I wrote this answer, I also found that there is a recent update of the BIOS for my motherboard which indicates "Support Windows8 feature."  With the new BIOS applied, I was able to turn dynamic ticks and have been broadcast since w/o freezes.  I also managed to install all my drivers.  Anyone else having this problem maybe try updating the motherboard BIOS, otherwise try the above command.

  • Acrord32.exe (Windows 7 and Acrobat cc) breaking, can not save the changes, Windows Explorer crash earlier

    Recently decided to upgrade to Acrobat DC after discovering that she will allow me to OCR files that previously forced me to spend of TIFF, and then back.

    I downloaded the program and installed today.  I was the conversion of Acrobat 9.  After that I started uninstalling Acrobat 9 Pro, Windows Explorer has started crashing.  I finally restored the computer

    I checked the Microsoft forums to see what could have gone wrong, and they seem to indicate that I should run sfc in the prompt, then see if there are problems in the registry. Here, of course, began with today or yesterday (which doesn't make sense - not sure that the report gave me irreparable files, or both fixed and fixed, or what). Other research suggests that I do a disk cleanup, and since then I had the problem of Windows Explorer.

    I tried then just install Acrobat DC on Acrobat 9.  This seemed to work properly.  However, now I have problems with Acrobat to crash (although the window remains open?). The message says that acrord32.exe is the culprit.  In addition, a number of my PDF files cannot be replaced - if I want to save my changes, I have to save to a different folder, delete the old file and move the other in its place.

    It's basically a nightmare, and I lost a ton of productivity today putting out fires.  Do not have these problems until I started playing with Acrobat.

    Please give me some suggestions.

    Thank you

    In fact, I could hope to find the solution on this thread:

    Adobe Reader DC contains errors and crashes with Windows Server R2 2012

    Going to see how it goes with the preview pane disabled (although she will suck if I can't use TI - hope you guys who patch).

    Also, add a folder by the instructions under C:/User / [USER] / AppData.

    In the hope that this problem will be solved in between.

    EDIT: It looks like it fix the problem.  Acrobat Pro DC now works without any problem.
