Day 46 [Research: "Why is my computer slow?" - Day 8]

There was a question asking if it was a good idea to ignore Windows Update in order to save their 3G data. The answer is maybe depending if you have a reliable anti-virus software but it's only good in short terms, so it's best to have Windows updated to keep it safe from any harm that may come to the computer. If you're having AutoPlay problems there are many solution to it. If you insert a CD or USB device and nothing happens, you would have to go to computers and check the drives and disk if they're there and if not then you will have to run the AutoPlay Repair Wizard to try and fix the problem. After running that, reinsert the CD or USB device and it should pop up now. What you can also do with AutoPlay is set it to automatic import photos and videos from external devices such as a camera, phone, or tablet whenever it's connected to the PC. You can also change each devices setting individually to have it in your preference. I'm at the end of the first section of Windows and will be heading towards Section 3 which focuses on hardware. What I've learned in the hardware section is the transfer of data from a HDD towards a SSD. The question the person asked was if it was possible to transfer my files to a SSD but in return will Microsoft demand a new product key. The answer that was given varies. In most case the process would be done without a problem and to make sure of it you would have to start up the menu and right click 'Computer' and choose properties. Scroll down and there will be a section stating whether or not Windows is activated or not. There are at times however where Windows do require an re-activation but it won't require a new key. I also learned that when Windows continuously keep popping up messages such as 'You need to format this drive,' and missing files, the probability of your hard drive failing is high. It's best to back up your files and download Seagate's SeaTools.  Once installed check off your hard drive and open Basic Tests to begin working through tests and hope it's fine and that you are able to recover corrupted files.
