Hi KYHI, No I don't need to backup the D drive. I am happy with my reset initiative so far - touchwood!:geek: I suppose, if at all I need to do a real clean install, I can just delete the C drive components and let Windows 8 installed on this C drive? I fancy not to have the Lenovo stuff on my...

No I didn't make system backups. I already have my personal files in my cloud account. I was trying to get rid of Lenovo's bloatware! My desktop was originally a Windows 7 Home Premium edition. Subsequently Windows 8 and later 8.1 was launched, I upgraded it. I suspected the initial Win 7...

Hi all, I am interested to do a clean install of Windows 8.1 on my desktop. However, I am not too sure about the exact steps when it comes to HDD format/delete processes. I have checked I have 3 partitions labelled as volume 0, 1 and 2. Then there was a system reserve volume of about 350 MB. In...

I think your Windows update files are somewhat corrupted...find the tutorials on doing a sfc /scannow and DISM cleanup and follow the steps from there...good luck! ...and wait for the update and restart option again... Rgds, fonzie

I just want to share what I did to overcome my concerns in reinstalling my Windows 8.1 desktop..... The resources I had was a Windows 8 legal dvd from Microsoft and product key. I verified I had my Lenovo recovery partition from the very first time I bought the desktop by doing the disk...

Thank you Saltgrass for sticking with me on my reinstallation concerns/problems.... At the moment I'll leave my desktop alone. It is running Windows 8.1 just fine...like the saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!"... I'll wait for the arrival of Windows 8 dvd and keep it for later usage if...

Dear Saltgrass, Yes my default language is US English. I installed Chinese as a second language pack. Anyway I have deleted it from the list some time before I do this reinstallation project. Now there is only one listed - US English. No I have not fiddled with the fonts colour settings, only...

With regards to my first post on the languages problem, here is the graphic.....clicking on the confirm gets no response, even after waiting for about 3/4 mins...I timed with my watch...;)- Rgds, FonZie

Thks Saltgrass for the prompt assist...here's the results of the scan.... Looks like there is nothing there.. Rgds, FonZie

Dear All, I have upgraded my Lenovo desktop from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 8 when Windows 8 was officially launched. I did it online. Subsequently, Windows 8.1 came along and I have also upgraded to it via the Windows Store. My desktop seems to be running okay except some worrying...
