Apple is downward spiraling all together, they're making products to sell more products rather than "thinking different". They're removal of useful ports that they pioneered just a couple years before is very telling. I consider removal of the SD card slot to be a crime against humanity. -Curt

I was going to say "we don't support video editing from a VM" but actually we do. Go price an nVidia Tesla v100, I'll wait... Now you see why I don't care to edit video from a VM. ;) Plus you need a thin client and theres an AV offset you have to compensate for, its kind of a pain. Really cool

No I meant from fresh media, by which I mean download the .iso for Win10 and use Rufus to make a boot disk. Going to fresh media is a good idea too. -Curt On Tuesday, January 7, 2020, 7:31:21 PM EST, Max Dillon via Mercedes wrote: Do you mean "reinstall TO fresh media"? A new SSD

Kaleb, I sent you some file attachments, but neither my email or the files seem to have made it through to you. If you get them, try the Upgrade Assistant (original). It was good at finding and showing actual reasons that your PC is not ready for an upgrade. It was the reason I found out

Macs are not what they used to be. Years ago they were light years ahead of Microsoft but over time the two have converged. Microsoft has gone up and Apple has gone down. I remember back in 2007 or so using a neighbors printer with my Mac and he said I'd probably have to install some device

Do you mean "reinstall TO fresh media"? A new SSD is cheap compared to buying a whole new PC. Maybe his system can accept two hard drives, so he can keep his existing drive as the data disc. Max Dillon Charleston SC Jan 7, 2020 7:23:29 PM Curt Raymond via Mercedes : > If I didn't have

If I didn't have specialty applications to support I'd run Ubuntu Linux. Its stable, easy to use, easy to install and comes with a bunch of productivity stuff built right in. Kaleb needs to back up his data and reinstall Windows from fresh media. I NEVER upgrade an OS if I can help it. All

Or he could buy another PC. After reading all the tooth gnashing and grumbling about the Macs on this list, it just confirms for me that there is no perfect system. I've (knocking on wood) had very little trouble with Microsoft's OS's, including the hated and reviled ones. I built the "image" for

Kaleb, What was the error code this time? And please look for a log file for more specifics. I'll bet when you find the cause it is something simple. Do you have any "strange apps" that Win10 needs to make compatible from Win7? Take everything out of your startup folder and retry. You

Try this, if you have a spare hard drive so you can keep the old and not lose your data. Download the clean installation from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10 Install a clean version, and when you connect to internet and it asks for the key, use your Win7 key.
