Bruxism posted:Yea, I think I'm going to go with that option. Is there an official microsoft tool for making the bootable usb? I know I did it for Win 7. It runs the commands to create a drive and assign it a drive letter (both of which can be done in diskpart) - then it runs bootsect.exe with the appropriate argument for whatever version of Windows you're installing (/nt52 for XP, /nt60 for Vista and beyond) to install a bootsector, and robocopy to move all files.

Does anyone know if Windows 10 Home can backup to UNC paths (network paths, specifically) like Windows 7 (and newer) Pro can? It's the one major feature that's always been lacking in Windows 7 Home.Stanley Pain posted:I think you meant to say BSD.

A definition, if it doesn't already exist, of a proper backup system should include something about being able to verify the backup and alert if things aren't as they should be.

System patches would be my guess. Windows 10 installer is supposed to be a bit smart about pre-downloading patches so you don't waste time installing them afterwards. In practice I've had machines both succeed and fail at doing it, so your milage probably will vary.

Combat Pretzel posted:Apparently Storage Spaces in TH2 finally features drive balancing. Does Windows 10 Storage Spaces also feature what I believe they call double or dual parity for RAID6-like redundancy, and how does it preform? I don't quite trust n-way mirrors, as there are situations where a two-way mirror can lose data where a dual-parity array would be fine.

I just noticed that Windows 10 (now?) has an option to replace command prompt with powershell in the right-click start-menu (which can also be brought up with Win+X). All I need now is for it to replace cmd as the default shell when running any command from Win+R.

Does anyone know whether Windows 10 (non-Pro) supports UNC paths for File History (ie. using SMB network shares as a backup location)? I only have Pro on every machine I own, so I can't test it before I do an upgrade on my mothers laptop.

A crash dump (found in C:\Windows aka %systemroot%, ends in .dmp but isn't memory.dmp), symbol files (in this instance for Windows 10, Version 1511 (retail)) and WinDBG can tell you more, instead of relying on users who most probably have absolutely no clue what they're talking about, given the suggestions they're giving you. If you don't feel up to it, I can have a look at it if you upload it somewhere, and if you trust a random internet stranger enough with your crash dumps.

Back when I kept games around on a seperate disk because my OS disk was an 80GB SSD, I just created a symmetrical link between %programfiles%\Steam\SteamApps and D:\Games (with D: being a 2TB WD Black). Alternatively, there's a program called Steam Mover which'll move games betweeen two folders for you to take advantage an SSD with some space (but not enough to keep all the games you want installed).
