How do I change where C: drive backs up? It's currently backing up the entirety of C: drive in my Games (D:) drive and I want to move it to my storage (F:) platter drive. I can't seem to find an option for this in Windows 10. Any ideas?

I got booted out of the Insider program and lost my free Windows 10 license for something as minor as a simple motherboard, CPU and ram change. I mean, the keyboard, mouse and several fans are all the same. What gives MS?

Speaking of this, I'm getting a bigger case and with it, a new motherboard and CPU. Would I just have to go from 7 Ultimate to 10 instead of 7 to 8 to 10? Did they change it so you can use 7/8's key as 10's key yet?

At present all free upgrades are OEM upgrades regardless of your previous license. ^ ^ ^ There is talk of accepting old Windows keys in future builds but I don't think anything's born it out yet. Also Ultimate upgrades to Pro (there hasn't been an Ultimate edition since 7), but yes you can go direct from 7.

D. Ebdrup posted:The way I see it, if you're smart enough to need to defer updates, you should probably be using Windows 10 Pro. In my experience, the vast majority of people don't need to defer updates when the computer is setup to start up at 3 in the morning (which it defaulted to, based on normal 8-16 working hours for me in Denmark, at least), install updates and then shut down again, and in fact benefit from having an up-to-date computer. I shouldn't have to spend an extra $40 just to defer updates, though. Especially since I don't really need any of the other pro features (like joining a domain or hyper-v) at home.

Solution to all Windows 10 issues / deferring the Win 10 update: just don't restart into your Bootcamp partition. No problems.

Sometimes my taskbar gets stretched a few pixels too long and extends offscreen to the right. Why on earth is this happening? It doesn't happen to the desktop at all, just the taskbar  . Futzing with the display in some way, like flipping it upside down and back again or changing the resolution, fixes it. It's a laptop screen and I'm using Nvidia Optimus drivers. I can't seem to pinpoint any cause. I just look down sometimes and notice it.Note that these two images are from the exact same area on my screen (i.e. the bottom-right corner is the bottom-rightmost pixel):

frogbert posted:Dumb question but you don't have two slightly different images in the same folder that your desktop is rotating through do you? No, I use this app that sets my background to the Bing image, which changes every day. The image for both clips are the same background. I'm probably not explaining it clearly, but those two screenshots are of the exact same portion of my screen and there actually is no more to be seen beyond the right edge of the first shot. The right edge of both images is the 1920th vertical line.

Yeah losing anything you had open. Also my HTPC never goes back to sleep after it wakes to do updates which is hugely irritating.

I went ahead and moved everything over to Google Photos. OneDrive got kind of useless when they removed placeholders in Windows 10, plus breaking the ability to upload from Firefox or Chrome, making it doubly useless on my linux machine. Sad, since it was honestly the most pain-free way to make photos sync between Apple devices and Windows, since iCloud liked to cause explorer.exe to crash repeatedly.

They really basically just killed it as a viable consumer offering. From an integration perspective, there was little reason to use it over iCloud or Gdrive for OSX/Android platforms, but the price of Onedrive at least made it a viable option, which was really the only way it could hope to get inroads there. Well that, and the Office 365 deal - but I really wonder how long that will even be a minor pull for consumers, especially with Apple seemingly getting back to regularly improving its iWork suite now and Google committing to update its App offerings. As bad it looks by itself, this isn't just "MS reneged on their promise" - this is basically a complete gutting of the service, at least with respect to any competitive advantage it may offer. The reduced free offering, the removal of 100/200gb competitive offers - it's as if they really just don't want to compete here anymore. And hell, even outside of placeholder removal the Onedrive client is still bloody awful. Gdrive is still massively faster in syncing, especially on OSX.

It would make sense they just do it as a slow kill off to the service. maybe they will rename it again.

Looks to me like they're just making it more a part of Office, rather than a stand-alone product. "Office 365 Drive" has a nice ring to it.

The worst part about Microsoft is Microsoft. They have the potential to make awesome products... sometimes they even screw up and release some of them... but then Microsoft gets in the way and turns it into Microsoft(TM) Shitware(TM) 2016 R2 Powered by Microsoft(TM) Dumbo(R) With Bing(R) which takes all the great features that were initially released and fucks them up completely as a big up yours to everyone in the world.
