Will I lose data on my computer if I update to Windows 10?
A Windows install can be done one of two ways: clean or upgrade.If you have a computer running Windows 7 or Windows 8 and you start Windows 10 setup it will upgrade your installation to Windows 10 with your programs, settings, and data intact.If instead, you start the computer directly from a DVD or USB you will be asked to do a clean install - and where to put it. If you put it on your existing hard drive where Windows 7/8 already is, you will likely lose your data.If you have a blank hard drive (or partition but let’s keep it simple) you can choose that instead. Windows 10 will install there and leave the other drive, the one with your data, intact. Intact but largely inaccessible to a novice because that other drive still contains Windows 7/8. When you first start the computer it will ask which OS to run.So that's three options. Choice number 1 is the simplest, most popular, and probably what you asked about. It's always possible to lose data during the upgrade but it's very unlikely. It's the most tested scenario in Microsoft’s labs and any loss of data is a ship stopping bug. Serious stuff, but that testing is done so that you can trust the process in real life. Still, make a backup.No other software company tests the upgrade scenario more thoroughly than Microsoft.
You are running Windows 8 on your laptop. You install a 64-bit application on it. Where will this application?
D. EDIT: mmarrero now your getting too techie here. By default 64bit applications will go into the Program Files folder. True yes in most cases you can change the default directory but you are reading too much into the question as like everyone else is. Thanks for the thumbs down ***. 32bit apps going into the Program Files (x86) directory.
Is Windows 10 better than, Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1?
Lets first get the basics right.Windows 10 is actually an improved/updated/modified version of Windows 8.x. And Windows 8.x is nothing but an improved/updated/modified version of Windows 7. So, by definition Windows 10 has the most mature code & technologies as of today.The most important attributes one looks for in a operating system are usability, stability, security, performance & features. And as of today, Windows 10 has the best of the lot. But since each operating system was designed with a specific set of goals in mind, we can't just directly compare each other. Let me elaborate.Windows 7 is a pure desktop OS. It is meant for regular desktops & laptops. And it works pretty much perfectly on supported devices. But it's old.Windows 8.x was designed for touch-enabled devices. It's intention was to spur the adoption of touch-enabled devices. But it failed miserably, as people didn't want to touch enable their laptops/desktops. And without touch, it was a nightmare to use on regular laptops/desktops.Windows 8 is pretty much unusable on non-touch devices & it is a failed OS (poor market share). So, don't touch it!Windows 10 was designed to run like Windows 7 on regular laptops/desktops. And works like Windows 8 on touch-enabled devices like tablets. And the best part, it works almost exactly like Windows 7 on regular laptops/desktops.Hence, we don't need to use the old Windows 7 anymore. In fact, Windows 10 has better driver support than Windows 7 & 8.x as of today. It is more stable & extremely secure. And above all, it's very fast. Also has tons of new features & very easy to use.Learning new OSes always takes some time. And if you're new to Windows 10, it may take a week for you to get used to. But, at present, it is definitely the best OS Microsoft has to offer. I can now safely say, it's time to forget Windows 7/8.x for good.Windows 10 is here to stay!
What is the meaning of the quote "Defeat is not the worst of failures, not to have tried is the true failure"
"Not to have tried" indicates a cowardice and/or laziness that focusses on fear of failure rather than exerting oneself to be victorious. It's a failure of character. A defeat at least indicates that effort and courage was put into accomplishing the task. It also provides an opportunity for personal growth if one learns from the defeat.
If all relationships fail, why even bother?
Relationships don't all fail. There are many long-term committed relationships that last a life time. Why do relationships fail? Here are some big reasons: 1. Ego gets in the way. Love has no room for ego. 2. One or more of you are takers. Lasting love requires both to give freely and unconditionally. 3. One of the partners loves themself most. Self confidence is critical but you need to love the other person first. 4. Lack of trust. Trust is earned and the commitment is tested daily. Show the other person you can be trusted. 5. Communication sucks. Completely open communication is critiacal. Completely open and honest. 6. "Lovers come and go but best friends last forever." Make your lover your best friend first. 7. Find someone with similar core values concerning God, sex, family, drinking, love, etc. Opposites attract does NOT mean you should find someone with conflicting core values. Find people with some different interests so you can learn new things and vice versa. But core values have to be aligned. 8. And lastly, and I assume you will want to debate this based on your screen name, find someone you are spiritually aligned with who is willing to pray with you. Studies have shown that although the divorce rate is 40% to 50%, couples who are spiritually aligned AND who pray together will get divorced less than 0.1% of the time. Hope this helps Rob
