Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion

I have now run the Windows 10 Media Creation tool from the Windows 8.1 desktop, so far so good, it rebooted and now i see a screen saying installing updates, so hopefully i stand a better chance of getting it installed this time and actually getting to the desktop!

Latest, the creators, whatever the mediatool downloads and installs.

Busy installing drivers now that i found for my lappy incase they didnt get updated by windows, but it is a very slow process as the HDD is slow.

I just find it strange i had no issues with the ethernet working in windows 8.1 and the fact i briefly had wireless working but it is now dead....... same goes for ethernet.

And when it comes to computers i HATE waiting for the bloody thing to install stuff to see if it gets working as i usually have a list of other things to try too.

Been installing some intel chipset drivers for the last 30mins........

Thanks for the offer but i always run the latest and this is just a backup computer so worst comes to the worst i will dump 8.1 back on it.

Anyway...... the intel driver install just exited with an error....... lol

---------- Post added at 16:52 ---------- Previous post was at 15:03 ----------

Seems to be finally working with wifi with every boot now, i had to disable the Ethernet to make this happen as i couldn't get that working but as it is now stable and working and the fact it is only a backup laptop i am happy the way it is and i need to stop messing with it or i will still be doing it at 5am when i have to leave for work!

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion

Just done a clean install on my laptop, been going very sluggish last few weeks. So backed up everything, emails etc (although forgot to backup my email contacts so a massive duh on my part) formatted the C Drive and hey presto it runs fast. Although am slightly miffed that they ended support for Windows Essentials in January without much fanfare, meaning I can't download it again. Now going to have to try Outlook.

I keep all my data on a separate drive for that reason, Windows and applications only on drive C

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion

Anyone know how I can import my Live Mail .fol emails into Outlook? I'm quite desperate to sort this out, as I have every single email from work so need to be able to gain access to them again.

Need more info on the problem as i am googling .fol and getting know where, it keeps giving me eml files.

Also if i log into mail.live it redirects to outlook.com, so shouldn't all your emails be there?

Ok i have managed to download the Windows Live Essentials 2012 offline installer from a mirror website and installed it, it looks good, it is 106MB the site i got it from wasnt English so it is upto you if you want to risk it but it does install and look fine.

---------- Post added at 21:52 ---------- Previous post was at 21:46 ----------

Just uploading it to my Onedrive and i will message you the link, when you have it installed, backup everything you need then migrate.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion

Had to upgrade to Creators due to some anomalous weird things happening.
Turns out it was a USB 3 docking station that was plugged into the hub on my monitor that was causing the issues.
Anyway, no issues with Creators apart from low memory warnings when I Alt/Tab out of a game back to the desktop. (have 16gb & never been an issue before)

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion

Have just removed creators update. Has been running fine for a couple weeks but to-day chrome wouldn't work. After faffing around with some suggestions I found and it still wouldn't work despite being the latest update I reverted back to the previous version of Windows 10 and everything is working OK.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion

I currently have a very odd situation is that I cannot get iTunes to work on my laptop. I've tried everything I can think of and followed all workarounds I can find online (uninstalling / reinstalling, deleting files in user data folder, deleting registry entries etc)

If I try to run it, I can see it in the Task Manager but it just sits there with zero CPU usage and just will no show as an open program.

Hi Ben

Have tried these fixes:
https://www.groovypost.com/howto/tip...es-windows-10/

Go to C:\Program Files\iTunes, right-click "iTunes.exe", go to Compatibility tab, check the box next to "Run this program as an administrator" and click Apply. No need to uninstall/reinstall.

cheers
