I get an invalid picture when in safe mode

<< < (2/2)

Boggin:
Were you still getting the Invalid Picture message in Safe Mode after deleting the icon ?

If your system is running fine then there's no need to run WR, but if you don't want to rely on the registry back up, then create an external system image - which is something you should be doing anyway.

Rod:
Yes invalid image still showed in safe mode. It seems to run well but has a minor quirk or two. It is set to back up every week and I believe there is a system image there. I'll check it out. I thought of upgrading to win 10 without any issues. Thanks

Boggin:
Well, you definitely want an external system image before upgrading.

While you will have the option to roll back for 30 days after the upgrade, there have been reports of this not working.

Not sure if MS have gotten their hands dirty in that.

If you are using an OEM machine, you may have the option to create a set of Recovery disks which will be a copy of the Recovery partition with which to factory reset and you will need a Win 7 System Repair disk to boot up into the advanced boot options to restore with an image created on an external HDD.

Because Win 10 boots up that quickly, F2 and F12 no longer work, so before the upgrade go into the BIOS and set it permanently to boot from the ODD and USB before the HDD, although I believe you have the option from within Win 10 to access the recovery options - you'll need to have a Google for those as I haven't bothered adding those to my notes.

Thanks, that is good info to know. I have an old external SATA 2 i can use, a little slow but better than what might happen. I did not know it booted to fast. I'm not sure I will upgrade but if I do I want a new MB and secondary SSD in it first. I build it & made a system repair disk. Trying to learn win 10 may go to the back burner before the free version expires. Thanks again.
