yeah might not be instant

cinder mauve
#

ye but it takes a while

#

my other pc was so quick

#

if im@gonna have to wait that long everytime then that’s insane

fair ermine
#

you have something enabled in your bios thats probably doing a hw test or memory test or something along that line which is why it takes longer

cinder mauve
#

mmm

#

is there a way to check?

fair ermine
#

hence why you need to go into the bios and look at your options

cinder mauve
#

i’m on bios rn

fair ermine
#

goto the first screen and take a picture for me

cinder mauve
fair ermine
#

first screen will be MIT

#

ARM REVEAl 0_0

fair ermine
#

@cinder mauve hang on don't do anything yet please

#

Fuko

cinder mauve
#

ok

livid bluff
#

What Motherboard is that as I have a Gigabyte B450 AORUS M

fair ermine
#

error code 0xc0000221

#

b450 ds3h

livid bluff
#

Ok AMD?

fair ermine
#

yup

livid bluff
#

OK So If you reset BIOS you should be on BIOS Version F42g

#

Newest for the B450 is F50

cinder mauve
#

mm

fair ermine
#

uhm

#

he has f50

livid bluff
#

Ok Same BIOS Im running then

cinder mauve
#

d viper how long does it take u to boot

#

mines taking like 2 minutes

fair ermine
#

but i don't think reset bios removes firmware upgrades

livid bluff
#

Depends. Sometimes I get a Boot Failure and I have to play with settings but I have Fast Boot Enabled and have it set to Last SATA device

cinder mauve
#

i have fast boot enabled

#

and it’s slow

fair ermine
#

Braz you have the same options

livid bluff
#

Do You have it set to last SATA Device

cinder mauve
#

no

fair ermine
#

yes you do

cinder mauve
#

idk how to do that

#

i do?

livid bluff
#

Set it to that That speeds it up

fair ermine
#

yes

cinder mauve
#

oh

livid bluff
#

Otherwise it took a few minutes for me to boot into Win 10

cinder mauve
#

@livid bluff where do i check if i have it on

#

i know i do

#

but where

fair ermine
#

its in the bios screen

livid bluff
#

Hold oN Let me scroll back up for the screen shots

cinder mauve
#

ok

fair ermine
cinder mauve
#

@livid bluff does that look correct?

livid bluff
#

Yeah Change the Storage Boot Option to UEFI along with PCI Device to UEFI

cinder mauve
livid bluff
#

Yep

cinder mauve
#

ok

livid bluff
#

Win 10 is a UEFI OS

cinder mauve
#

oh ok

#

will that make me boot faster?

livid bluff
#

I had to figure that one out myself and found out that taking off legacy and setting it to UEFI helps with the boot process

cinder mauve
#

is the NVMe supposed to be disabled?

#

oh ok

livid bluff
#

NVMe disable if you dont have a NVMe drive on the board

fair ermine
#

he doesn't

livid bluff
#

Then Yeah Leave that Disabled

fair ermine
#

he has a ssd sata and a spinner

livid bluff
#

What Drive is the OS on

cinder mauve
#

ye

#

idk

fair ermine
#

thewindows boot manager is installed onto the adata which i'm guessing is the ssd

livid bluff
#

OK Go to Peripherals in the BIOS

#

Send me Screenshot

fair ermine
#

as far as i can recall adata never made spinners

cinder mauve
#

ok

livid bluff
#

No They havent from my recollection either

#

Turn on above 4g decoding

cinder mauve
#

ok

livid bluff
#

Then Go Into the boot section

cinder mauve
#

there is no boot section

livid bluff
#

Enable your APU Hot plug in the peripherals section

cinder mauve
#

where is that lol

livid bluff
#

The BIOS is only readding one Drive right now

#

Peripherals

#

it will show APU SATA Hot Plug

cinder mauve
#

it’s not there

livid bluff
#

Chipset Sorry

cinder mauve
livid bluff
#

I was looking at the wrong screenshot on my end

cinder mauve
#

oh lol

#

@fair ermine wya?

fair ermine
#

i'm here lol

cinder mauve
#

nice

#

what do i do next?

fair ermine
#

to many people telling you to do things will confuse you

cinder mauve
#

mmm

#

yo i

#

ok

livid bluff
#

Ok. So What is your boot order set at right now

fair ermine
#

so i'll sit and asnwer questions you say idk lol

#

it was windows boot manager, but it was changed to just adata

livid bluff
#

ok

cinder mauve
fair ermine
#

wbm is on adata for the record

livid bluff
#

I ask cause the BIOS is only showing the adata

fair ermine
#

storage boot option

livid bluff
#

Ok So Whats happenign is the Boot Manager is getting confused. Disable the second Boot Option

cinder mauve
#

ok

fair ermine
#

if uefi isn't installed on the storage device it won't be read as well but it should show up in windows

cinder mauve
#

disabled done

livid bluff
#

cinder mauve

cinder mauve
#

everyone here

fair ermine
#

Fuko has it

livid bluff
#

Yeah The internet part isnt working

fair ermine
#

@strange wave you can download it from microsofts site

strange wave
#

I keep getting errors

livid bluff
#

Looks Like Windows may have to be reinstalled. Then once in Windows Install all the drivers from the ASROCK disc

cinder mauve
#

should i turn off my pc reset my bios

strange wave
#

and when I do get past it downloads at 200kb/s

cinder mauve
#

and disable the com

#

xmp *

fair ermine
#

@cinder mauve nope, see if you can reinstall windows

#

@strange wave what kind of errors?

cinder mauve
#

on a different computer?

#

ok

livid bluff
#

Thats what I would do. Leave all the BIOS settings alone and reinstall windows so that it configures itself properly to the BIOS settings when it installs

strange wave
#

It literally just says error try again later. And it has buttons that say cancel and FAQ

cinder mauve
#

ok

#

and if all else fails?

strange wave
#

Also do you know how to make a bootable usb for windows from a MacBook

livid bluff
#

Cant

strange wave
#

😦

livid bluff
#

@strange wave Did you download the Windows Media Creation Tool

fair ermine
#

@strange wave uhmm does mac have access to dd write?

strange wave
#

No

#

I don’t have any other windows machines in my household

strange wave
#

This is my first one

sour forge
#

might wanna remove all but 1 stick of ram

cinder mauve
#

so what i should do is delete all the data on my usb and download it against

#

again*

livid bluff
#

Ah ok. Yeah You wont be able to do it that way. Mac can Write a Windows Bootable DVD though

sour forge
#

uh

strange wave
#

I don’t have a windows dvd

livid bluff
#

I would @cinder mauve Just incase it was a corrupt download

strange wave
#

I am using a usb stick

livid bluff
#

You Can burn one

strange wave
#

I don’t have an optical drive

livid bluff
#

Oh Well thats a problem

cinder mauve
#

and if it doesn’t work again should i just reset bios and disable xmp

strange wave
#

This is my very first pc, Im so unprepared.

livid bluff
#

You might be able to use Wine to make the Media Creation Tool to work

strange wave
#

Ok

#

I’ll try that

livid bluff
#

Or use Bootcamp and Install Win 10 on the mac in a dual boot setup and do it that way

strange wave
#

Oh yeah I could do that, totally forgot

livid bluff
#

I only know this as I have a macbook pro that in a week will be going Win 10 only Bye bye Mac OS

fair ermine
#

wine wouldn't work

#

but bootcamp will

cinder mauve
#

how do i delete my data on a flash drive again?

strange wave
#

Reformat it

livid bluff
#

Yeah Cause he can download the Image to the Mac and Install windows and have access to a Windows Environment that will allow him to make a bootable USB from within windows

strange wave
#

Ok I’ll give that a try

can i put a windows key into a new pc without creating a new account

Yes

Or Just Login with your microsoft account and it will automatically activate it for you with the License Linked to your account @tall lichen

tall lichen

it's for a pc i'm selling

that's why i don't want to create an account

Then Yeah You can Put a Key in and have it a local account for while you are workin gon it

tall lichen

i don't want to create a local account either

Thats the only way to do it. You can set it as Admin for username and Admin for the Password.

i'll just give them the key then

I’m having a Windows 10 reset issue, I haven’t downloaded and suspicious apps etc and it’s a brand new laptop maybe a month old and I wanted to reset it and just clean it up from games I had and left over files from steam or other game launchers and when I went to go reset my computer it told me “There was a problem resetting your PC.”

#

I saw an admin command prompt solution but that failed as well and I really don’t wanna use an OS Boot tool and go through the annoyance of reloading Windows when I shouldn’t at all be having this issue my pc is at the newest update also

#

Just frustrating considering it’s a brand new gaming laptop

livid bluff
#

@sand dagger There are some bugs still in the newest Win 10 update and that may be one of them. I could be wrong but I would report it to Microsoft Tech Support. They may have a few alternatives that might work for you. Ive never ran into that issue before. Did you have a older version of Win 10 on the machine or has it always had the most recent version?

@livid bluff thanks for getting in touch with me, I think I’m gonna have to get supports help because I just updated to 1909 win10 after being on the previous update and I still am having the “There was an issue resetting your PC.” and again I haven’t pirated or downloaded and suspicious apps I literally only had game launchers and OBS Studios from the official site so I know I don’t have any virus preventing my reset. I’ve watched plenty of YouTube videos and have had no success I’ll try the windows media boot tool from the site but if there is any other way I’ll take it because on an older laptop I had issues and it was such a lengthy process for it to bug out on me ya know

livid bluff
#

@sand dagger Yeah. Not a problem. Microsoft usually has alot of tools at their disposal.

sand dagger
#

@livid bluff I feel like it’ll come down to booting the os that’s what a lot of the solutions say but yeah I’ll check out the tech support before anything, is there a number on the Microsoft page I can contact ??

#

So it actually looks like my computer did NOT update

#

I keep getting stuck trying to download Windows 10 ver 1909 and it doesn’t download or goes into a continuous loop of installations

Ah So there is no Way for it to Reset if there is not a previous version for it to resort to

Can someone point me in the right direction... i have a msi z390 godlike motherboard with i9 9900k rtx 2060s. The first week of having it i had to do a RMA and they refused to tell me what they had to fix/do, that said it was not showing temps on the cpu socket pcie1, mos. And voltage was 24v on the 12v,10v on the 5v. Now a few months later temps not showing up on m.2 1-3, pcie1-5 and mystic lights are not working at all just the ram default lights are working. This has been the worst pc i have ever built. I have reformatted numerous times and even bought a new wd-black sn750 1tb to go with my 500gb plus t-force night hawk 2 16gb kits.

@thick kernel t run the insider builds. The only one Ive had issues with is the most recent 200710-1419 build. Had to use the reset option in windows. Other than that check your manufacturer for new drivers first. Many have switched to the new driver format for windows. Specifically Bluetooth and network drivers

try sending me the link? because i dont have a "see all downloads" option

How much do you need for the windows 10 64 bit installer? I know it says 8GB but can I get the maximum space it uses?

#

Bc most 8gb sticks (which its asking for) dont really have 8gb for you to use, its something like 7.40, so Im wondering how much I need to see if I need a new usb stick or not

humble dagger
#

depends on the version ver. 2004 (pretty much the latest) is around 4.8gb if i recall

#

@jolly dagger

jolly dagger
#

Wait so it doesnt really need about 8gb? or does it use up about it later?

#

BC rn its taking up about 3.76 gb if that helps

humble dagger
#

are you asking about the same drive or when its installing

jolly dagger
#

When its installing

#

Basically whats the max storage it will take at one time

humble dagger
#

20 or so on the new drive

#

roughly

jolly dagger
#

I mean for the usb

humble dagger
#

oh should not really use more then that

jolly dagger
#

So youre saying a 7.43 gb usb stick is good for installing windows 10?

they still spec a 8 gb USB flash drive as min

and it still fits on a cd lol

#

Im not a fan of Migrating, theres alot of STUFF thats trying to profit off of it, and Im not good with linux stuff rn so Ill probably do a new install

humble dagger
#

um for the future if you want look into clonezilla

jolly dagger
#

Dont judge me if Im being stupid or not, but does it need any linux os or anything?

humble dagger
#

or messing with parted magic - curated linux which includes a lot of useful stuff including clonezilla

jolly dagger
#

I see

humble dagger
#

well clonezilla can be run as its own standalone OS

#

linux

#

or it can be run in other linux OS

#

but its open source freeware

#

and pretty easy to use

jolly dagger
#

Well I have got about 59 gb of stuff backed up already wich took about 6 hours, so I might as well do a new installation

#

BUt ill look into it

humble dagger
#

you can kinda also do it with file history

#

and restore / recovery disk

#

the built in windows backup suite

#

kinda a pain though honestly

#

filehistory is usually fine ive run into some issues with restore points and stuff though

guess it really depends on what your comfortable with ive had a bunch of windows server and linux experance
