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!

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

good luck

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Seems to be working ok now apart from the ethernet is stuck on identifying so i am having to use wireless.

I am sure i will get that working eventually.

Bollocks now the wireless isnt working..... another problem to solve.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

you using creators update or anniversay

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

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........

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

would suggest trying anniversary if you need it I can give you a untouched official iso from my onedrive few people are having problems with creators

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

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

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! :)

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.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

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.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

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.

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.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

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
