    Win 10 download

    That doesn't work and clearing Firefox browser cache doesn't help. It says click 64 bit version button. Then little dialog box says it's beginning, but nothing happens.

    Dual Boot Linux/Windows

    I built a new computer using AMD X570 Tufgaming mb, an M2 SSD and an optical drive. I installed Linux from a DVD download, and it worked. My goal is to install Win 10 from DVD to the SSD. Can I create a Win10 ISO file on a blank DVD, and install Win10 onto the new SSD by inserting the DVD...

    Dual Boot Linux/Windows

    Thank you. I've read that Win doesn't like dual boot -- so this would solve that, and I'll have twice as much space for each OS.

    WD Black 1tb 11yr replacement

    I ran HD Tune disk diagostic: all sectors were fine. From what I've read and my past experience, Samsung 860 won't work with my mb. Now I'm wondering if Win 7 is corrupt; have original Win 7 Pro disk, but I'm afraid to attempt repair. I've been backing up with Acronis every week. If the...

    I'm getting Win7 OS errors and gradual slowing. Is the drive failing? I need reliable replacement. HGST has best current fail record. Where can I find the best value on a new WD/HGST drive? Open to an SSD, but my mb is Sabertooth X58 with old PCIe 2.0 slot. Which SSD would be easiest to...
