How to Update Your BIOS

Step 1: Identify your current BIOS version.

The easiest way to find your BIOS version is to open up the System Information app in Windows--just type msinfo32 into the search bar (for Windows 7/Vista) or the Run box (XP), and clickSystem Summary; your BIOS version should now show up on the right under your processor speed. Record your version number (and the date that appears afterwards, if applicable).

Step 2: Check your PC/motherboard manufacturer's Website for BIOS updates.

Most PC manufacturers handle BIOS updates based on your specific line and model, so head over to your manufacturer's support page and check its listings for your PC, because if you download and install a BIOS intended for a different model, your PC probably won't work (although most BIOS updaters are smart enough to notice if you try to install them on the wrong hardware). If there is a BIOS update file available, grab it--along with any documentation it comes with, because often warnings and specific instructions are contained in the Read Me docs.

Those of you who assembled your PC yourself will need to look for BIOS updates from your motherboard manufacturer's Website. If you don't remember your motherboard's model number, you can look it up without opening up the case by downloading and running CPU-Z and clicking on the Mainboard tab.

Step 3: Read the included documentation.

The BIOS updater's Read Me file will most likely include a list of fixes and new functions, often to support new hardware. Updating the BIOS for my Lenovo Thinkpad T500, for example, added support for a new AC adapter and a 1600-by-900-pixel screen resolution on an external monitor; the update also fixed fan speed and Webcam issues that could not have been handled by updating Windows or my specific device driver software.

More important, however, were these notes in the Read Me file: If I was running Vista on my T500, I'd need to make sure that I had a certain patch installed; and if my T500 had a certain graphics card, I would need to update its drivers above a certain version before updating my BIOS. Read and reread your docs, or you might make your PC unable to boot without even knowing why.

tep 4: Update your BIOS.

Most newer PCs have a fairly easy BIOS update procedure: Just download the .exe file from your PC manufacturer's Website, quit all open programs, run the .exe, and let it handle the patch; then reboot. If your PC suddenly shuts down in the middle of the BIOS update, you won't be able to boot up, so make sure you're not running off a laptop battery. Ideally, you're plugged into an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), especially if you're in an area prone to blackouts.

Older PCs, however, might require you to set up your own bootable disk to update the BIOS yourself. You might still be able to download an app that configures a USB thumb drive, blank CD/DVD, or even a floppy disk so that you can boot off of it to update the BIOS, or an ISO image file that can be used in your disc-burning app of choice (if you don't have such an app, try ISO Recorder for Windows XP or the version for Windows 7/Vista) to create a BIOS update CD.

Other systems will have you copy a few files to your bootable disk, restart, and open up the BIOS during startup (typically by pressing a specified key for setup options), and change the boot order so your system looks for a bootable USB drive or CD before loading the OS from your hard drive.

What does 100% disk usage mean in task manager?

Solution 1

Open a cmd.exe as a admin (windows key+x+a)

Now you stop various suspected services and watch how the system responds in resouce

monitor. I would recommend you to stop Superfetch and Windows Search service.

For Superfetch: Open cmd and type - net.exe stop superfetch (hit enter and see if your disk

usage goes down after a min or two) or you can stop it from Services under Computer

Management.

For Windows Search: , net stop WSearch or Stop it from services under Computer

Management.

Solution 2

Go to charms bar and press search, then type view local services.

Once here, stop and disable BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service).

You can also set Windows Update checks to manual.

One more thing that conclusively worked for me was the combination of Disabling

Hibernation and Turning Off the Pagefile. Try this and I guarantee that this will work if you're

having the pagefile disk usage problem.

GPT VS MBR

What do GPT and MBR do

You have to partition a disk drive before you can use it . MBR (master boot Record ) and GPT (GUID partition table ) are two different ways of storing the partitioning information on a drive .this information includes where partitions start and begin so your operating system know hich sectors belong to each partition and which partition is bootable .this is why you have to choose MBR or GPT before creating partitions on a drive

MBR

MBR standards for Master Boot Record. It was introduced with IBM PC dos in 1983

it's called Master Boot Record because the MBR is a special boot sector located at the beginning of a drive. this sector contains a boot loader for the installed operating system and information about the drive's logical partition .the boot loader is small but of code that generally loads the larger boot loader from another partition on a drive. if you have windows installed the initial bits of the windows boot loader reside here ---- that's why you may have to repair your MBR it is a overwritten and Windows won't boot it you have Linux installed , the GRUB boot loader will typically be located in the MBR.

MBR Limitation

* MBR works with disks up to 2 TB in size, but it can't handle disks with more than 2TB of space. MBR also only supports up to four primary partitions -- if you want more you have to make one your primary partitions an "extended partition “and create logical partitions inside it this is a silly little hack and shouldn't be necessary.

*MBR became the industry standard everyone used for partitioning and booting form disks. Developers have been piling on hacks like extended partitions ever since

GPT

GPT stands for GUID Partition table .it's a new standard that’s gradually replacing MBR. it's associated with UEFI --- UEFI replaces the clunky old BIOS with something more modern , and GPT replaces the clunky old MBR partitioning system with something  more modern .it's called GUID partition table because every partition on your drive has a "globally unique identifier" or GUID - a random string so long that every GPT partition on earth likely has own unique identifier.

GPT Limitation

This system doesn't have MBR's limits .Driver can be much ,much larger and size limits will depend on the operating system and its file systems GPT allows for a nearly unlimited amount of partition, and the limit here will be your operating system -- windows allows up to 128 partition on GPT drive , and you don't have to create an extended partition

* On an MBR disk the partitioning and boot is stored in one place .if this data is overwritten or corrupted , you trouble . in contrast GPT stores multiple copies of this data access the disk.so it much more robust and can recover if the data is corrupted .GPT also stores cyclic redundancy check (CRC )values to check that its data is intact -- if the data is corrupted GPT can notice the problem and attempt to recover the damaged data form another location on the disk .MBR had no way of knowing it its data was corrupted --- you'd only see there was a problem when the boot process failed or your drive's partition vanished.,

How to perform a clean installation of Windows

1. Turn on your PC so that Windows starts normally, insert the DVD or USB flash drive, and then shut down your PC.
2. Restart your PC, and then press any key to boot from the DVD or USB flash drive.
   If you restart your PC and your current version of Windows starts, you might have to open a boot menu or change the boot order in your PC's BIOS or UEFI settings so that your PC boots from the media. To open a boot menu or change the boot order, you'll typically need to press a combination of keys (such as F2, F12, Delete, Esc, etc.) immediately after you turn on your PC. For instructions on changing the boot order for your PC, check the documentation that came with your PC or go to the manufacturer's website.
   If your current version of Windows still starts, try again by waiting until Windows asks you to sign in, shutdown completely, and then restart your PC again.
3. On the Install Windows page, enter your language and other preferences, and then tap or click Next.
4. Tap or click Install Windows.
5. On the Enter the product key to activate Windows page, enter your product key.
   The product key should be on the box that the Windows 8.1 DVD came in, or in a purchase confirmation email. It looks like this: PRODUCT KEY: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX.
6. On the Please read the license terms page, if you accept the license terms, tap or click I accept the license terms, and then tap or click Next.
7. On the Which type of installation do you want? page, tap or click Custom.
8. On the Where do you want to install Windows? page, do one of the following:
   • In Windows 8.1, tap or click the partition that you want, tap or click the formatting option you want to perform if needed, and then follow the instructions.
   • In Windows 8, tap or click Drive options (advanced), tap or click the partition that you want to change, tap or click the formatting option you want to perform if needed, and then follow the instructions.
9. When you've finished formatting, tap or click Next.
10. Follow the instructions to finish installing Windows.

Windows 7 installation problem: hard drive not found

Update the storage controller driver during Windows 7 setup

You might need to update the driver for your PC’s storage controller. This driver controls how the hard drive interacts with the rest of the PC. To do this:

1. Find the type of storage controller your PC uses by checking the documentation that came with your PC or going to the manufacturer’s website.
2. On a second PC, go to the manufacturer’s website and download the latest driver on a USB flash drive or other removable media.
3. Start Windows 7 installation again, and on the Where do you want to install Windows? page, click Load Driver.
4. Insert the removable media containing the driver into your PC, and click OK.
5. Select the driver from the list of results and then click Next. Follow the instructions on your screen to continue installing Windows 7

Method 2

1. 1.Check whether the hard disk is recognized by BIOS.

   If there is no error message shown, we suggest trying this method at first. Of course, even if error messages are given, you can also try this solution prior to doing any operation. Please start computer, press a specified key for several times to enter BIOS, and then look for your hard drive. If it is missing or invisible from BIOS (shown as None or Not detected), here are 4 possible reasons as well as countermeasures:
   • The channel for this hard drive is forbidden in BIOS, which happens especially after you add a second hard drive to system. To fix this issue, we need to turn it on or enable it.
   • Data cable or power cable of the drive is damaged or isn’t plugged firmly. Try connecting both cables again or change other cables.
   • BIOS is out of date and can’t recognize your hard disk. Try updating BIOS or driver of BIOS to the latest version.
   • The hard drive may be physically damaged. Download a disk testing tool to test the drive. If it is not detected by the tool or errors are found, you may need to contact your hard disk provider.
   
   After you are doing these attempts, the hard disk might be detected by BIOS, and then you can go on installing Windows. But if the disk is still invisible, you may need to contact your hard disk manufacturer for help. 
   
   Actually, when checking in BIOS, you may find the hard disk is detected in BIOS but missing from the “Where do you want to install Windows” screen. At this time you need to try the following solutions. 
2. To load a storage controller driver when operating system is unbootable or there is no system, please follow operations below:
3. • Find the type of storage controller (could be IDE, SCSI, SATA, and so on) your computer uses by checking the documentation coming with the computer or directly going to the manufacturer’s website.
   • Download the latest driver for your computer’s storage controller to a USB flash drive, CD, or other removable devices. Tip: you may need to unzip the downloaded file before copying it to removable device.
   • Start installing or reinstalling Windows again, and on the “Where do you want to install Windows?” screen, please click Load Driver.
   • Insert the removable media that contains the driver into the computer, and click OK. After that, Windows will search for the driver on all available devices, and then list all available drivers.
   • Select the driver that matches your hard drive and click Next to continue.

Get Windows 10” Upgrade App Icon is Missing in Taskbar

METHOD 1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\UpgradeExperienceIndicators

And in right-side pane, make sure values of UpgEx and UpgExU are set to Green. If their values are different, change them to Green.

Also make sure Genuine string is set to 1.

If you can't find above mentioned values in "UpgradeExperienceIndicators" key, you'll need to create them manually. You can match values of all available strings with following screenshot:

NOTE 2: If you see another key with the name REDUCED under UpgradeExperienceIndicatorskey, it means the "Get Windows 10" app is running under reduced mode. It happens when your computer hardware is not compatible with Windows 10 upgrade. In such case, as mentioned inpoint 4 of "Important Things to Know" above, the app icon in system tray will automatically appear after Windows 10 launch date i.e. July 29, 2015. So you should wait of Windows 10 

METHOD 2:

If the upgrade app has been installed in your computer, you can try to manually run the app by going to "C:\Windows\System32\GWX" folder and run GWX.exe file.

It'll add the icon to Taskbar and then you can access the app by clicking on the icon.

NOTE: If you still don't see the icon in Taskbar, open Command Prompt as Administrator and run following commands one by one:

C:\Windows\System32\GWX\GWXConfigManager.exe /RefreshConfig
C:\Windows\System32\GWX\GWX.exe /taskLaunch

Now the icon should be visible in Taskbar notification area.
