PC wont open now with Windows 10

<< < (2/3) > >>

Boggin:
Can you see if your friend will stick the latest version of Win 10 onto your USB stick and give that a try as you may have to perform a fresh install.

The PC has been back to the PC shop for a second time and appears to be behaving better than before.  I'm reinstalling all software for a third time.  At least this time all of the downloads have been kept on a separate drive along with their key numbers which have also been uploaded to Dropbox.

Thanks for all of the suggestons

Boggin:
Hopefully this time the install will stick :)

Given the volatility of Win 10 because of all the updates MS are shoving into it, I think people should hang on until it is no longer a Beta OS, although we only hear about those having problems with Win 10 and not those who have no problems at all.

While Win 8.0 turned out to be a dog, Win 8.1 proved more successful and Win 7 only received one SP, although MS had the experience of Vista to produce Win 7 - Win 10's service packs seem to be never ending, so you could have more heartache to follow.

Just ensure System Protection is turned on before each set of updates and create manual restore points, as System Protection is default turned off in Win 10 and can be subsequently turned off after updates - so perhaps the answer is to create system images when things are good.

everyday I see more and more windows 10 issue's. I hate how Microsoft made it a forced beta to everyone and sneakily stuck that update so the naive user would download it. Windows 10 will be the best OS version. Faster than any OS I've seen just so many bug's! It's still windows 10 preview in my honest opinion.  The major update to windows 10 that crippled it was this one. http://www.tweaking.com/forums/index.php/topic,3971.0.html Shane had to make his program skip that command if it detected "Windows 10 (1511)"

I have just done a restore point & downloaded EaseUs software to make a 'clone of my 'c' drive.  I have been given an external USB3 caddy that take both sata & ssd drives vertically & will try using this.  I'm told that I can partition the target HDD & put the clone in one partition & a backup onto the other, although I wonder if both on the same HDD may be a step too far. 

If this is OK then this would be ideal as I have a second old drive that I could do this as well.

If this is OK I could create a clone & a backup onto alternative HDD's & hopefully keep everything up to date that way. I could even add all of the programs that I have had to download several times so that if things go wrong again I won't have so many to re download.

What system protection are you suggesting that I turn on Windows Defender?

As for all of the Windows update I has told my the shop that did the reinstall that the latest updates were huge & took forever to download.  I do know some people who say that they had no problems so maybe some dodged a bullet.  I have just read that the update reminders will soon be coming at you from everywhere.
