Ughhhh. Yes unfortunately as it states I'm the admin on the computer and my girlfriend uses the guest account. Now it's stuck on the guest login screen with her unknown and expired password. I don't care about the guest account. I'm just trying to back myself up to the previous page where I can choose the admin account or my main account. There's no buttons or back arrows. All I'm seeing is the following Guest Your password has expired and must be changed. Ok. Cancel. If I click ok I have to have the old password to make a new one (I don't know it) it also doesn't have a hint option either. If I click cancel it just flashes…

Windows 10 FTL. Windows Vista-8.1 FTW
by Guest Magneto Maddilyn Dreemurr- 0 replies

I dont want to Switch to Linux. Whatever happened to the Freedom of Choice. Why Cant Microsoft Give Windows 10 users the ability to downgrade from it to Any Version they choose for free. from XP-8.1. we should be allowed to choose an older OS if we want. Innovation brings consequences sometimes. and windows 10 is no exception at all. The insiders arent always reliable(i mean look at me... i use Windows, Me, XP, Vista, 7 and 8.1 just to stay away from the OS im in the Insider Program for.) Microsoft should just indefinitely support Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2 if they arent willing to bring back 7 and Vista. Let Us users who HATE THE DESIGN OF WINDOWS 10. Downgrade to fo…

Windows won't activate after changing hard drive.
by Guest Okitha- 0 replies
- 262 views
So, recently my hard drive which was running windows 10 suddenly failed. So, I bought a new HDD and installed windows 8 with my genuine key. But although windows got installed, when it came to windows activation and I entered the code, it said this "The Product Key is already being used on another PC. Try a different key or buy a new one" And when I went to Windows Activation through Control Panel it says error "0xC004C008 "The activation server reported that the product key has exceeded its unlock limit." So, I know the correct procedure would be to uninstall windows on the other Hard Drive first, but its blown, and I cant even get it to start up. So…

Corrupted files/missing codec after moving to OTG
by Guest PJ Villaflor- 0 replies
- 185 views
Hello, The process is fine and videos are playing. But as soon as I moved some of them in my OTG, it keeps getting corrupted. For some cases, a few of them managed to be moved in the place, but when I played them, the players can't find the audio or the video that's within it (after that, the files disappeared which I know still a part of the issue). I managed some of them and already have 4 folders which are 3 anime seasons and 2 movies in the drive. The only videos that I lacked are the Demon Slayer episodes which are anime. NOTES: • I already have the VLC and Potplayer • The OTG is brand new and this is the first time I'm doing this with the drive. …

Why the Metro UI was abandoned
by Guest KeremVapur- 0 replies
- 206 views
When Windows 8 came out, I was glad that Microsoft eventually left the old interface and switched to a new one. But then the vast majority of users started complaining about Windows 8. Then Microsoft released Windows 8.1 to alleviate the complaints a bit, but that didn't help either. Eventually, Microsoft also started to improve Windows 10. It was not much different from Windows 8.1 in preview versions. At least the Metro Interface could be activated in the settings. Then Windows 10 had changed a lot when it was introduced to users. It didn't look like Windows 8.1 at all. Now you will say that now it can be opened in Windows 10 Metro Interface. But it doesn't work like in…

Trying to Access the Files on a HDD
by Guest DornTX- 0 replies
- 179 views
My old PC broke and I removed the HDD which runs on Windows 8 and I am trying to access the files on it with my laptop which runs Windows 10. I am using a Sata to USB cable for this. When I plug it into my laptop, it does not show up in File Explorer, but the computer does register that an external HDD has been attached when I dig deeper into the system. Is it maybe because my laptop and the HDD run on two different versions of Windows? I am just trying to access some old files. Also, I do know the HDD works, it was the motherboard on my old PC that broke. Continue reading...
