Disconnecting Hard drive and Installing Windows on an SSD
Hello, I would like to know if I could Disconnect my Hard Drive which was my primary boot drive until I bought an SSD, and then Install a fresh copy of windows on the SSD with a bootable USB drive while the hard drive is disconnected and then when the windows is set up and ready to go, I later connect my Hard drive which Still has the older copy of the windows and files that i don't want to lose and so I set the SSD as the priority boot device in the BIOS. What I want to ask is after my SSD is the priority boot device and I have reconnected the Hard Drive Which is as a single partition in which there are separate folders containing the old C and D drives, can I then reconnect my Hard drive and will it show up as another drive with all its content or will I have to Create a new simple volume which Would result in me loosing my Data, so i would like to know if there is another method which will let me keep the old data and still show the Hard drive with its contents(where i would later delete the C drive folder containing the old copy of windows on the Hard disk so that the SSD becomes the only storage device with windows on it) in the new fresh copy of windows booted via the SSD and thus be able to keep my D drive From the old windows but now the old copy of windows on my computer. I hope you understood my Question and the specific doubt that I have, and so would you help me to know the solution to this problem or should i like copy the D drive on to and external hard disk and then connect my SSD and then clone my windows to the SSD so that I don't Have any problems with formatting the Hard Drive after the cloning process is done, and then reinstall the cloned windows with the option of deleting all files and reinstalling it agian. Although i would like to go with the first method(that is if it is possible ). Thanking you in Advance
Windows 10 local administrative privileges
It seems as though most of my issues regarding software updates, installations, and compatibility have been centered to one thing : permissions. The ability to read, write, or modify files within a directory, or a sub directory by default, shouldn't be restricted by administrators. How about TrustedInstaller? I don't trust that either. Why is it the owner, and not the Admin, or user that's logged in? From anti cheat and anti virus to my newly created windows.old on a newly installed OS. Permissions aren't handled in a way that they should be. Even local admins have trouble changing ownership to themselves and break software functionality. This wasn't an issue in windows 7 or earlier. Stir some heat, boiz. Let's talk about this.

Windows 10 and the Internet of Things šš°š
Hello everyone - hope you are all keeping well š These last few weeks I have been absorbed by the features and the artificial intelligence of Windows 10. This has led me to thinking about IoT and humanity's journey into space (Mars comes to mind as does the moon). This is not such a big leap of imagination. This may be another whacky idea of mine, but I have to think that some of Microsoft's 'smart inventions' will be part of this space journey. I for one hope so. With all the unpleasant and upsetting news coming out of the CoVid19 global state of emergency, it cheers me to think of possibilities. Keep well all

Can I install Ubuntu alongside Windows 10?
Yes. You need to make sure that your current PC's hardware that works with Windows 10 is compatible with Ubuntu. Also, you need enough disk space on your hard drive. Installing Ubuntu alongside Windows 10 depends on your current UEFI start-up and Secure Boot settings, which can be found in your BIOS/UEFI firmware setup. Before you install Ubuntu alongside Windows 10: - Disable the fast start-up option, which can be found in Control Panel's Power Options. - Only hibernate your PC if you still plan to use Windows 10 for compatible apps and want to use Ubuntu for something else occasionally. - Turn off BitLocker. BitLocker can be found in Control Panel. Once you've confirmed the information above, boot your computer to your Ubuntu installation media. Then, follow the instructions until you get to a screen where you can choose to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 10 or configure additional partitions. To keep Windows 10 intact, choose to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 10. After you've installed Ubuntu alongside Windows 10, you will get a GRUB boot loader, where you can switch between Ubuntu and Windows 10 every time that you start your computer. NOTE: If you're using a computer that uses UEFI, you will see "Windows Boot Manager" when you see the GRUB boot loader. Selecting it starts Windows 10. This is by design.
Previous version of Windows 10
The Disk Cleanup Utility tells me I have 19.1 GB of a previous version of Windows. My question is: Should I select to delete this from my HD? I recently re updated from Version 1909 to 2004. I had previously updated to 2004 back in June, had nothing but problems, which finally led to a complete system failure in early September. That required to me to do a clean install of Version 1909 from an ISO file. Version 1909 ran great. About three weeks ago I thought I'd give Version 2004 another try, had some problems, learned that on Lenovo laptops there was an issue with BIOS and Windows Version 2004. Fortunately, last week Lenovo came forward with an BIOS update for my laptop. That has solved the issues I was having, and now Version 2004 is running fine. Now that you have the background of my experience with Version 2004, would you as a user delete the older version of Windows and regain the use of the space on the HD? Thanks for taking the time to assit me in this decision Ken Miller
Was Windows Vista really a bad operating system?
After a 6 year drought from Microsoft, in 2007, Microsoft launched its new operating system: Vista. Right off the bat its system requirements were higher simply because of the great features that it had up its sleeve. Most people regarded many of the new features as unnecessary and termed it as bloatware, which I would consider unreasonable. Undoubtedly, Vista had its fair share of bugs and issues, but nothing is perfect, right? Mainly the reason that I think that Vista had all these bugs and issues was probably due to the fact that Microsoft was probably pressed for time, as they reset development of what was supposed to be Vista, also known to some as Windows Codename Longhorn. This time pressure may have resulted in Microsoft attempting to hurry the launch as I believe that XP was starting to get a little outdated. Furthermore, I believe that consumers also let their hopes a little too high, understandibly, since Microsoft had not launched a new version in 6 years, evoking thoughts that Microsoft was working on something really big. Honestly speaking, we should not really vent at the bad things about Vista, because if you look at modern operating systems, features that set them apart from legacy operating systems, whether you talk about looks, design, functionality, or redundancy were mainly pioneered in Windows Vista. Even competing operating systems can be found with features that first appeared in Vista. This just goes to say that if Vista did not exist, or if such an OS was not made, then modern tools that are ubiquitous and taken for granted would have not existed. So in conclusion, Vista had its bugs and issues, and was not well recieved, and it makes sense, but Vista is the sturdy foundation of modern OSes, and it is that huge leap of faith which paid off in its twin successor, aka everyone's favorite version of Windows, the beloved Windows 7, which is just Vista 2.0 with more consistency if you ask me. Thank you for taking your time to read this essay!
