Downloading Windows 10 from a Disc downloading windows 10 from a disc How to Install Windows 10 on a New Hard Drive (with Pictures) [Partition Manager] Do you have any idea on how to install Windows 10? And how to install Windows 10 on SSD ? This post shows you the detailed steps along with the screenshots of the operation steps. In addition, some easier ways are explained. Quick Navigation : Undoubtedly, Windows 10 is gaining popularity these days. More and more users choose to install Windows 10 on SSD when they have got a PC to install. How to install Windows 10 on a new PC/hard drive? And how about reinstalling Windows 10? Here is the full guide along with pictures. How to Install Windows 10. Step 1: Buy Windows 10. *Do this on a normally running computer. Today you can no longer upgrade to 10 for free, so buying Windows 10 should be your first move. Please go to Microsoft Online Store to finish this process. In fact, what you are buying is a license key to activate Windows 10. Without a license key, anyone can download and use Windows 10 for 30 days. But for permanent access, a license is required. Step 2: Create Windows 10 Installation Media. *Do this on a normally running computer. Traditionally, users download the ISO files of Windows 10, burn them to DVD via third-party software, and then install Windows 10 from DVD. Now things get much easier, Microsoft offers a user-friendly Microsoft Media Creation Tool to help you get the installation media ready. 1. Click Here to download this tool and run it. When asked, accept Microsoft software license terms and then choose “Create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) for another PC” before you click Next. 2. The wizard will ask you to select Language, Windows Edition and Architecture. You can accept the recommended options or make your own choice. Then click Next. 3. In this step, you need to choose either to create a Windows 10 install USB or to extract the ISO file (you will need to burn it to a DVD later by yourself). It’s up to you. Here take the former one for an example. Just prepare a USB drive that is large enough (at least 8GB) and click Next. 4. Select the removable drive from the list when asked, and make sure you've copied any files you want to keep off it because it will be formatted during the process of creating Windows installation media. Click Next to continue. 5. The tool will start downloading Windows 10 as well as any available updates to your USB drive and make it bootable, which allows you to install Windows 10 later. 6. When the process is successful, you'll see a message that reads "Your USB flash drive is ready". At this time, click Finish to exit. Step 3: Install Windows 10 on SSD/HDD. *Do this on the target computer. With Windows 10 installation media, how to install Windows 10 from USB? Please follow the detailed instructions below: 1. Insert the drive into the PC or laptop onto which you want to install Windows 10. Then turn on the computer and it should boot from the flash drive. If not, enter the BIOS and ensure the computer is set to boot from the USB drive (using the arrow keys to put it in the first place in the boot sequence). 2. When the computer does boot from the USB drive, you'll see a Windows logo, followed by a language selection. Confirm the language to install, time and currency format, and keyboard or input method. Then click Next. 3. Click Install now. 4. You will be asked to enter the license key, do as you are required. (You can also click “I don’t have a product key” to skip and choose the Windows 10 edition you want. By ignoring, you will be required to enter the license key later.) 5. Accept the license terms and click Next. 6. Here you need to make your own choice. We just take the latter one for example. [Upgrade: Install Windows and keep files, settings, and applications]: This option will keep all your files, settings and applications saved in the system partition there. However, note that it is only available when a supported version of Windows is already running on the computer. [Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)]: This will remove all your files, settings and applications and give you a clean install of Windows 10. Choose this option if you want to wipe your hard drive and make a fresh start, or you are installing Windows 10 on a new hard drive. We recommend backing up your files before you continue. 7. What you'll see in the next screen depends. But overall, you need to choose a location and click Next to install Windows 10. Situation A: If you only have a new drive connected, you will see a Drive 0 Unallocated Space listed there. To install Windows 10 on a new hard drive, just select it and click Next to install Windows 10 on new hard drive. Situation B: If you have got more than one hard drive connected to your PC, you'll be shown a screen with several drives called “Drive 0”, “Drive 1” and so on. And if a drive is already partitioned, you will see “Drive 0 Partition 1”, “Drive 0 Partition 2”, “Drive 0 Unallocated Space”, and so on. In Situation B, you have 2 options, that are to install Windows 10 on the original system partition or to delete all partitions (by selecting each one and clicking the Delete option) to go back to Situation A to install Windows 10. This will erase all data on the partitions, so double-check that you're deleting partitions from the correct drive and you're absolutely sure you've already backed up everything you need. 8. Windows will then start the installation process. Mostly, the installation is automatic, but keep an eye on it and answer any questions you're asked. Knowing how to install Windows 10 from USB, do you know how to install Windows 10 from CD/DVD? In fact, the process is just the same. Connect the CD/DVD to your PC and the computer should boot from it. The following operations are just the same. Step 4: Sign in Windows 10. *Do this on the target computer. Once the installer has done its job, Windows 10 will boot, get available updates, ask you a few questions, sign in with your Microsoft account, and get everything ready. It's well worth reading through the initial questions and options, since opting for the defaults means a fair amount of personal data will be sent to Microsoft's servers for convenience. For example, data is stored so Cortana knows about you and can be more helpful. This isn't sinister, but some people think different and they would refuse. When you finally get to the Windows 10 desktop, connect to the network and allow a bit of time for Windows 10 searching for drivers for your hardware. The screen resolution may be wrong but will be all right after drive update. And you will have to manually transfer your files and install the apps once Windows 10 is installed. 2nd Choice: Use Windows 10 Migration Tool. In addition to using Windows 10 installation disc, there is another way to install Windows 10 to another hard drive. By using a professional Windows 10 migration tool, you can easily migrate Windows 10 from one drive to another without having to reinstall. It’s better for you to choose this way if one of the situations is true: Your hard drive is failing and it’s urgent for you to replace the failing drive. Your hard drive is running out of disk space, and transferring all data to a larger one is what you prefer. You are intending to migrate Windows 10 to a speedy SSD. You have got another computer that has the same configuration to install. Here MiniTool Partition Wizard is strongly recommended for its user-friendly interface and outstanding performance. Get this partition magic and begin. (Works well on Windows 10/8/7 all editions.) Preparatory job: Boot a Windows 10 computer that you want to clone. Connect a hard drive that has the same sector size as the Windows 10 system disk to that PC (better via SATA) and make sure it is successfully recognized. Besides, ensure that the key files have been backed up and this drive can be overwritten. Install and launch MiniTool Partition Wizard on that PC and the run it to get the main interface. Option 1: Migrate Windows 10 to SSD. MiniTool Partition Wizard makes it easy to migrate OS to SSD/HD. This means you are able to copy Windows 10 to the new drive without having to do the installation. Here is how to install Windows 10 on new PC: 1. After doing the preparatory job mentioned above, select “Migrate OS to SSD/HD” from the action panel on MiniTool Partition Wizard. 2. On the next page, select option B – copy the system required partitions only and click Next. 3. Then, select the prepared disk as the destination disk and click Next to go on. You will receive a warning message saying all data on the target disk will be destroyed if it is not empty. Click Yes to confirm since you have finished the preparatory job. 4. Here you can customize the copy options and preview changes that will happen on the destination disk.

  • Linux Diagnostic Tool for Mcafee Appliances
    Linux Diagnostic Tool for McAfee Appliances Overview This document provides information about the Linux Diagnostic Tool (LDT), including instructions for obtaining and running the LDT. The diagnostic tests are performed only if McAfee Support requests them, in situations where they suspect the appliance has encountered a problem. The LDT checks the status and integrity of any McAfee® hardware appliance based on an Intel platform. The LDT-getlogs command collects information from the hardware components. McAfee Support then uses the information to evaluate the health of the appliance. The LDT does not repair any errors, nor does it announce any conclusions. When you supply the resulting LDT log .zip file to McAfee Support, they will use the data to diagnose any problems. LDT can also provide the mechanism to update RAID and disk firmware. The LDT can be run on a live system (online) or in its own environment (offline). The online mode should only be used with the guidance of Support. The offline mode requires a reboot of the appliance, but can be run on any supported hardware appliance. • LDT-getlogs-ZIP Version X.X => online method => used on running appliance • LDT-getlogs-ISO Version X.X => offline method => used with LDT environment Using the LDT Run the LDT only as directed by McAfee Support. We recommend using a USB flash drive because you can save system and hard disk logs directly to the USB drive. You can then share the USB drive with McAfee Support. The CD saves the logs to RAM. You can view them, but you cannot copy them off the disk to share.

  • Download Windows 10.To Usb How to Run Windows 10 from a USB Drive
    download windows 10.to usb How to Run Windows 10 From a USB Drive. Loading and running Windows 10 from a USB drive is a handy option when you're using a computer saddled with an older version of Windows. You run Windows 10 on your own computer, but now you're using another PC outfitted with an older operating system. If you prefer to use the newest version of Windows, though, there's a way to run Windows 10 directly through a USB drive. You'll need a USB flash drive with at least 16GB of free space, but preferably 32GB. You'll also need a license to activate Windows 10 on the USB drive. That means you have to either purchase one or use an existing one that is associated with your digital ID. You can then use a Windows USB utility to set up the USB drive with Windows 10. Once you're done, you'll be able to boot up off the drive to launch Windows 10. The major downside of booting from a USB drive is that Windows 10 will run slower than it does off your hard drive. But if you're in a pinch you can at least work with the OS and access different apps this way. Microsoft once offered its own tool called Windows to Go, which could generate a bootable Windows USB drive with the Enterprise and Education versions of Windows 10. However, the company has stopped development on that program and no longer updates it. Instead, you can turn to two utility programs, WinToUSB and Rufus.

  • Uefi Bootable Windows 7 Iso Download
    uefi bootable windows 7 iso download What Is the Windows Boot Manager (BOOTMGR)? Windows Boot Manager loads from the volume boot code, which is part of the volume boot record. It helps your Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista operating system start. Boot Manager—often referenced by its executable name, BOOTMGR —eventually executes winload.exe, the system loader used to continue the Windows boot process. Instructions in this article apply to Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, and Windows Vista. Where Is Windows Boot Manager Located? Configuration data required for Boot Manager rests in the Boot Configuration Data store, a registry-like database that replaced the boot.ini file used in older versions of Windows like Windows XP. The BOOTMGR file itself is both read-only and hidden. It is located in the root directory of the partition marked as Active in Disk Management. On most Windows computers, this partition is labeled as System Reserved and doesn't obtain a drive letter. If you don't have a System Reserved partition, BOOTMGR is probably located on your primary drive, which is usually C: . Can You Disable Windows Boot Manager? You cannot remove the Windows Boot Manager. However, you can reduce the time that it waits for you to answer which operating system you want to start by choosing the default operating system and then lowering the timeout time, basically skipping the Windows Boot Manager altogether. Use the System Configuration ( msconfig.exe ) tool to modify the default behavior. Be careful when using the System Configuration tool — you might make unnecessary changes that can just cause more confusion in the future.

When you try to install Windows 10 using bootable media; you may run into issues where the system will not recognize the new media or will return errors such as Installation failed due to GUID Partition Table. Here are two simple ways to create bootable media on Windows 10. Using Microsoft Media Creation Tool. You can use the Official Microsoft Method to Install Windows, head over to this website (here).

Since the new filesystem is not used by as many people as NTFS, there is a lot less information about it. The focus is on testing if there are any issues that are caused by the wide variety of features this new filesystem has. Theory portion focuses on the importance of secure data erasure, in other words, why is it important to make sure data is completely gone from hard drives, what does it entail and what kind of standards there are in data sanitization. It will also mention how EU GDPR relates to data erasure Results on the defined scenarios showed that some caution should be exercised when dealing with ReFS. There are some features that makes data erasure a bit more difficult, but not impossible. This thesis resulted in meaningful data for the stakeholders and great experience for the person conducting the tests.
