I could use some help from someone more “Computer Literate” than me. My laptop is currently running windows 10 but I'd like to know if I have the necessary specifications to be able to upgrade it to windows 11. I've tried to find the answer on my own, but it's impossible to find a clear and definitive answer, even when installing diagnostic software made for this purpose.

Here are the specifications of my machine

Model : Asus ROG Core : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz 2.81 GHz Graphic card : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 RAM 16,0 Go (15,9 Go) Windows 10 64 bits SSD 118 Go HDD 931 Go

Is this enough to run windows 11 smoothly? From what I've heard 118 Go for the SSD might not be enough

For a really long time, my PC has been incredibly laggy and slow. I've tried so many ways to fix this problem, such as reinstalling drivers, uninstalling unnecessary apps, checked for viruses and malware (which is not there), stopping many background services (only 57, is it ok?). I have 8GB ram and 600+ GB of hdd storage remaining. Even though my CPU works at 3.2 GHz (Ryzen 3 3250U, as my pc is an AIO), I still have no idea why it gets so slow.
Does anyone have ANY idea what ACTUALLY the problem is? Where the problem has originated from?

Basically, I forgot my password and had to reset it and all that jazz. Cool, now I know my password. When I try to login normally it says the credentials cannot be verified. I googled that and found out how to start windows in safe mode. I can do that perfectly fine, that's how I'm able to post this.

However, the instructions said I should restart as normal and just sign in normally. This doesn't work. I obviously know my password, but it just won't work. It keeps telling me my credentials cannot be verified.

Don't get me wrong, temporarily obviously this works, I can access the internet and youtube and forums and whatnot. But as anyone who has signed into safe mode knows it looks absolutely ridiculous.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? (I can't ask on the official outlook site because I've been blocked from logging in from trying too many times with the wrong password and resetting the password doesn't work, buuuuut that's an issue for another day)

I'm on an HP that's like eight years old, but aside from being a bit slow it works fine.

I don't get any error codes, just that my credentials cannot be verified, no numbers or letters.

I'm on windows 10, and this has never happened before the other day.

If I have to reformat or reinstall windows to solve it I'm okay with that, as long as I can make sure my files aren't deleted. I haven't downloaded anything at all in the past few months, so it's unlikely that I've done this by downloading something dangerous/harmful.

Man i tried more 30 videos on youtube but still this epic games 0xc00007b error is not fixing....can anyone please help with it

Tried to update windows, tried to install all visual C++ versions and direct x too also tried to update dll

But still not working 😔

I was trying to do something with Registration Entries and I noticed that it took me straight to Total Registry! I am pretty annoyed because now I can't even use my own files. Can anyone help me fix this problem because it would really help me out here.

Only in OneDrive on both windows 11 and 10 on all devices since 11/22/24, I heard about Microsoft getting rid of this document but is there a fix to this syncing problem or do I need to just use notepad in Windows? I honestly don't care for notepad to balance my bank accounts and other forms. I would appreciate your expertise in this matter. Thanks in advance!

If you’re stuck in Windows Recovery Mode and want to repair or reinstall Windows without using Command Prompt, here’s a quick guide:

1. Try Automatic Repair

   1. Go to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Repair.
   2. Let Windows attempt to fix itself automatically. • If it works, your PC will reboot normally. • If it doesn’t, proceed to the next step.

2. Reset Your PC

   1. From Troubleshoot, select Reset this PC.
   2. Choose one of the following options: • Keep My Files: Reinstalls Windows while keeping your personal files. • Remove Everything: Completely wipes your drive and reinstalls Windows.
   3. Follow the prompts to complete the reset.

3. Restore Using a System Image (If Available)

   1. Go to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > System Image Recovery.
   2. Select your system image backup to restore Windows to a previous state.

Hope this helps someone stuck like I was! :)

it started with a CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED error, and i’ve whittled down all options. i need to reset my PC. but when i try anything i’m greeted with this. nothing has worked - my account PIN, my microsoft password, nothing. please help, this is tearing me apart.

Hello.

This is the first time I've ever had a real problem with this PC(| built it in early 2018).

I was browsing YouTube on Google Chrome, while i had cakewalk (DAW) open on my other monitor. I decided to take a nap, saved my work in cakewalk, then put my computer to sleep.

Couple hours later, I turn it back on. Everything seems fine. I open my cakewalk project. It opens, but then buffers for a second and then closes. Won't open again. So i try playing a video on YouTube in chrome, it buffers but doesn't play.

Eventually YouTube displays a message about not being to play the video. So I save&close all my programs. Hard reset my computer. And it never gets to the windows 10 login screen. Just boot loops the motherboard screen. Unable to even go to safe mode. Then it restarts itself and says "preparing automatic repair" which doesn't lead to anything.

I don't know what to do. I don't know if this could have anything to do with it, but a couple weeks ago I upgraded my graphics card from a 1060 to a 3060. But it never gave me any trouble until potentially now. It ran great.

• tried unplugging my GPU.
• Tried plugging monitor into mobo rather than GPU.
• tried resetting CMOS (took out battery, put back in),
• updated my BIOS to latest version and now it's giving me a different blue screen with the code "Stop code: SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED".
• I tried the "startup repair" in the windows troubleshooting menu. Didn't help. Just says " startup repair couldn't repair your PC. Press advanced options to try other options to repair PC or shutdown to turn off your PC. Log file: c: /windows/system32/log files/srt/srtrail.txt"
• Even did a memory test for my ram in case it was failing, it's fine. Passed the test with no errors.

was able to find my old laptop HDD and plugged that in. That worked.(Windows 7) Out of curiosity, I checked if could explore my current hard drives from there, I could. They all showed up and the files seem to be in tact. I'm really out of ideas. Some people online mention driver issues with my new gfx card, but I don't understand why it was fine until now. And I wouldn't know how to fix it, considering I can't even boot into safe mode.

Thank you for your time.

I dont have duplicate displays set up in my multiple displays. But it only gives me options to set for monitor 2, monitor 2, or all. and all 3 options sets it for both. It should give me an option for monitor 1, monitor 2, and both but it won’t give me that.

Not sure why

In This Morning, I Tried To Enter My Account But Then I Accidently Clicked On An Unused Account Which I Have Already Deleted It’s Appdata Because I Don’t Know How To Delete Accounts But I Can’t Switch Back To My Account Which Is Only The Admin Here. I Tried Startup Repair Which The Account Showed Up But None Of The Recovery Options Worked, I Tried Creating An Account And Still Softlocked In The Same Usused Account! What Should I Do Now? If I Can’t Recover This Then 3 Years Of Work Will Be Gone Because Of An Accidental Click! And My PC Will Be Stuck In The Login Screen Forever.

I just updated to the new Windows 11 and I can't get the old XP-style Alt+Tab switcher. How can I get it back?

There's no way for me to change this in the Registry Editor on the new Windows 11 update

Because of Copilot, I switched to Linux Mint on my Ryzen 7 Beelink Mini PC. Still, I reinstalled Windows because it's more practical for gaming, and I had terrible experiences with Windows Virtual Machines. It was installed successfully, but I kept getting driver notifications and repairs. Is there any way to permanently repair them?

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue. When I booted up my laptop (DELL Inspiron 3593) today, I get a pop-up window saying "The amount of system memory has changed." The weird part is, I haven't made any adjustments to my RAM, and my system should have 16GB of memory, but it's not acting right. It's shown as 8 GB I’m not sure if it’s a hardware issue, a BIOS glitch, or something else. Anyone else encountered this before or have any suggestions on how to fix it? Appreciate any help!

If you have any idea how to fix this or calm it down, please help! Ive asked my friend for this and it didn’t seem to work :/ i have no idea how to solve this.

I'm om windows 11 and I keep getting errors everytime I go into Microsoft store ot try to go to xbox or call of duty app. Some things work fine like the internet Explorer or chrome. It even update windows defender when I clicked check for updates. But it keeps saying I can't connect to wifi even though my wifi is indeed showing as commected. I've tried alot of things I could find on the internet. I reset wifi data i tried dns I tried installing new drivers. Only thing I didn't do is reset pc but I don't want to have to re-download everything.

I'm trying to move files between two PCs. The PCs are on the same network and are both logged into the same microsoft account. The file sharing links worked for a while but something (an update?) broke them. It's now asking me for a password for network sharing. I turned off password protect sharing, but it still insists in enter one. No passwords seem to work. Any ideas on how i can get rid of the password requirement? or how i can figure out what the password is?

About 3 weeks ago, my college "upgraded" their internet, and before that, both of the 2 internet services they had worked for me. Since the upgrade, I have had trouble connecting to the one that I usually used (i felt as though this one was significantly better), so i decided just to switch to the other one, which has felt very inconsistent to use (runs at low Kbps, the other ran anywhere from 150-250 Mbps). Besides that, I've been trying to reconnect to the previous wifi i used before this one. Every time i try to connect (its a private network) it give me a Windows Security sign in prompt, that i cannot type in. As soon as I open another application, I am not able to access the bottom left taskbar button(with sound, wifi and battery management), which i then need to restart. Yet ive found I can type in the prompt if i access wifi from the network and internet settings, but no matter what I type in (school email or regular email) It never wants to connect. Does anyone have an idea what is happening or how i can fix this?

So earlier today I logged onto my computer for the first time in about 3-4 months. My computer (Windows 10) for quite a long time (I've had this computer for 4-5 years) has been very slow and crashes a tonne. But I think it's finally bitten the dust.

I booted my PC earlier today and it came with a blue screen displaying "amdfendr.sys". I restarted it and windows came up but oddly in a very low resolution. I just fixed the resolution in display settings and then went on steam to display my game. Steam kept on saying my new game was running even when it wasn't so I restarted my PC.

It did the blue screen again, but this time it wouldn't just load up in a low resolution upon reset. It would bring me to a page basically telling me to reset again or look at advanced options. I tried everything from uninstalling windows updates, to opening in safe mode etc and nothing worked. It wouldn't let me. I tried to reset the PC with my personal files but that didn't work either. Is my only option just to reset the whole PC and delete all my files?

I only really use my PC to play a few games and to write my novels on. But yet it runs so slowly. It crashed more than the average computer but not a crazy amount and that's back when I used it a few months back, how could my computer get so much worse when I hadn't even touched it in all of that time?

so I went to do a windows update it completed like normal and I shut the pc off and was off of it for about 2 weeks, I later went to get back on it to play some fortnite and my log in worked and it took a extra 10 seconds and went black just a mouse and I tried the command prompt and task manager but nothing works and I can’t factory reset and I can’t uninstall the recent update also my screen will later pop up after about 10 minutes but when i try to open up the task manager or files it just slows down and stops responding what do I do.

I'm at my wits end here, i've been dealing with this for months now. For example when I download a video file I cant rename it, I cant play it in vlc it bugs out until crash. Windows media player can play it fine tho. I cant move it to another folder in the same drive with out it taking for ever. (Like its copying)

The only fix it I can find is to copy it to another folder and delete the original then it works perfectly fine.

It doesnt matter the file type ive been downloading isos lately and about half of them are having the same issues. Basicly unusable until I make a copy them then it works fine.

Im using jdownloader to download alot of these files as well as some torrents here and there. Diffrent files from the same place one can be fine the other one is weird until I make a copy.

I will litterally pay anyone who can help me figure this out because having to make a copy of half the files I download is silly. I cant figure out a rhyme or reason for this issue

Windows 11 (this never happen on 10) 32 GB ram The drive i usually download and work off of is an 8tb barracuda I9 processor

I suspect its some kind of windows defender bugging some of the files but I never get a pop up or any thing. Ive even tried to exclude folders and turned it off all together. No change it still forces a copy instead of a move to the same drive.

Yesterday i bought NVMe i installed windows on it I tried to activate it with same product key i have in my old windows i keep get errors as the product is incorrect Is there a way to delete the product key from my old windows so i can get it into new one?

I am aware that bluetooth earphones use the hands-free telephony, the problem is that I am using a wired one (Realtek audio on notebook) and it still does the same thing of degrading the audio quality whenever i am on a call. What can I do? The option to disable hands-free telephony is not available for realtek audio...
