Re: Going Retro with Windows
I still have windows XP home and W7 professional discs. I did find W7 a lot better than W10 which is all over the place but now can't be bothered to go though changing it all back to W7.Re: Going Retro with Windows
Re: Going Retro with Windows
I’m currently having the most frustrating time trying to remove Windows 10 from my PC drive! I have a sata/usb lead that I normally just connect to any hard drive, then plug into another pc or laptop to re-format it. But Windows 10 must have some form of built in self preservation because when I connect it to a computer, it won’t even acknowledge that it’s there! I have followed countless procedures described on Google. But none of them seem to work!Re: Going Retro with Windows
Apart from the mentioned lead, what other methods of formatting have been tried? I've read of people using DBAN or a Linux Live CD for the job but haven't tried these ways myself. Maybe one of the methods would work for you.Re: Going Retro with Windows
I have kept my Me pc out since my house move. I loved it and especially Microsoft Picture it Print Studio. I don' t know if any of it will still work or how I will transfer anything onto my Windows 10 (bleh) laptop but I'll have to try.Re: Going Retro with Windows
I think having Secure Boot enabled would stop XP installing even if it's not the reason for the formatting problem. I say this because I have a laptop computer that can be dual-booted between Windows and Linux.
