@whoololon Sí, todavía no lo he comprado. Seguramente pida ayuda en el foro con la configuración y presupuesto.
Estaba recopilando información sobre las tareas que habría que hacer para ponerlo a punto.

Leí que se puede generar una iso autoarranque con "Rufus, por ejemplo. MBR para bios antiguas. GPT para actuales. Desactivar Secure Boot en bios. Instalar como Uefi."

Muchas gracias.

Backups are the best friends of anyone who gets close to a computer.

By now you should have a copy of the content that might interest you from the SSD with W7, and even from the W10 one.

To see the SSDs in tools like HBCD you should use a more current version.

My experience with multi-booting on desktops always ends with the recommendation to put a disk rack with independent power, like this one, because of the advantages it offers.

Be clear about what you want to achieve, and forget about using W7 recovery tools, if you don't want to mess up access to W10.

If the one with W10 interests you less or you're willing to reinstall it (I get the feeling that here you imply that you reinstalled it again and that could be the origin of the problem), if you have two identical SSDs, you leave only the one with W10 whose relevant content you already have saved elsewhere, you install W7 from scratch and when you're already in the file copying phase after booting from the SSD, you exit (if you want to do the full installation it's up to you, it's to save time), you turn it off, you connect the second SSD and with a program like Ghost or any other that allows you to clone partitions, you overwrite the partitions of the SSD you want to recover on the one you just installed.

You remove the damaged one again, and you try to boot, and it should work.

All this is thinking that you haven't been touching anything in BIOS, nor have the SATA data cables fallen to pieces or similar things.

Best regards.

That is the "free" time that has been imposed on us.
People already read anything.

It's curious. I experienced a similar problem some time ago on my motherboard, with Windows 7 professional 64bits specifically. In a software update (or I don't remember if it was a format), suddenly the front USB 3.0 ports (connector integrated into the board + an extension cable to the ports themselves) never worked as 3.0 again, although they did work as 2.0, but the system warned that it could go faster every time I inserted a 3.0 device. No matter how much I searched for drivers, installed, uninstalled, formatted, bought USB 3.0 cables, adapters and specific connection devices to the 3.0 board, at no time have the ports that connect to the internal connector of the board worked as USB 3.0 again. I also gave up and bought a PCIe 1x card with several USB 3.0 ports and some extenders, which is a real mess and the performance drops a bit, but there is no solution at the moment and it seems that there are some other similar testimonies on the networks. I dare to say that it is a matter of proprietary software, because with all the drivers I have tried none have worked, and it is not a defect of the connector because those USB 3.0 have worked previously, since I bought the board. If the connector were damaged, they would not work as 2.0 either, but they do. Greetings!

@sebastian To be honest, I don't quite understand what you're saying, but if you're afraid of installing Windows on top and it erasing important data, like photos, I don't know if you have the option to take out the hard drive, plug it into a USB enclosure and use it as an external drive. That way you could use it as if it were an external drive, or a USB stick. You could copy the data to another computer and then try to repair Windows.

If you insert the Windows DVD or USB, there is an option to repair Windows. It may take a while, and depending on the version of Windows you have, it may vary a bit, but in general it is a simple process that, as I say, may take a while, depending on whether the hard drive is mechanical or SSD.

If you tell us the version of Windows, we'd better.

Best regards.

You've been lucky.

Many people who were using their webcam with W7, found out when they switched to W10 that it no longer worked.

Others even got to see it work, and lost it after some major Update, despite buying it as compatible with the new OS.

Unless things changed in recent months, I know of cases of people who fell for the deals on some Logitech models, and found out the second case I mention.

In my case, an old Microsoft webcam, still works despite everything.

Regards!

It's fine that they unify and simplify design, but as long as they give the option for more information. That for basic level users it's not too complicated, but for those who have a little more computer knowledge it's not a torture any moderately advanced task. Let's see how they do it.

Look, Windows XP was one of my favorite S.O.s... but Win 7 was the best for me, and with the 10 giving so much trouble forever, I think we're going to miss it a lot

Greetings!!

@Gallina I suppose you mean GNU/Linux. Stallman has given it the free software cover, but the technical person behind the development is Torvalds. As far as I know, RMS has never contributed code to the kernel. One is the philosopher and the other is the technician. What is more important in Linux is already a personal matter for each one.

I also think it's quite normal and in fact, a good service on the part of Microsoft. To be honest, I expected Windows 7 to be completely abandoned and I don't see any reason to keep Windows 7. The hardware hasn't evolved as much as it did when we moved from Windows XP to 7; back then it was more understandable that it was necessary for some to keep XP for a while longer. An average decent PC from 10 years ago can run Windows 10 without any major problems. A PC from the late 90s that could run Windows XP with some ease (let's say a Pentium II/III) couldn't run Windows 7 in a functional way, not even remotely.

@Gallina we love you

This is a bit old now, it's surprising that they're releasing the patch now. This link talks about Crucial and Samsung drives.

This gives me mixed feelings. On the one hand, I think it's great that Linux commands are becoming standard in other systems. But on the other hand, couldn't Microsoft have created their own tools to enrich the ecosystem a bit? I don't like GPLv3 too much because of how restrictive it is, but sometimes I understand its followers.

In case anyone serves you, I solved it with this

Thanks to everyone

Just in case the news leads to confusion, Valve will stop supporting Ubuntu, but will continue to produce Steam for Linux. The rest of the distributions have been packaging the client and its dependencies from the very beginning, which is what Canonical will have to do from now on. Surely for a few months the distro users will have some problems in the transition, but nothing that can not be solved in future versions.

When Steam for Linux came out, in Mageia it was not so easy to make it work if you did not use unofficial repositories and even then there were problems. For some time now, installing it is as simple as installing the package maintained by Mageia.

I'm tinkering and I make copies from the C drive (SSD) to the D drive which is mounted locally and is a normal HDD.

Do you happen to have KB4482887 installed?

They all cost more or less the same. Choose the one you like the most, or the cheapest. But keep in mind that now they are 400Gb. You'll have to see how long it took to reach that size, and choose accordingly. For price/quantity, I would go for Gdrive. It works very well and doesn't give problems. But it's a matter of looking at how much the expansions cost.

I think it's as simple as right-clicking on the folder or drive you want to encrypt, Properties, Advanced, and there you have a checkbox with the option "Encrypt content to secure data". Then if you want you can also make a backup of the encryption key in case you forget it.
