I was recently given a Medion brand PC, it's a Medion Win 2050 and it has 512 MB of RAM. I tried installing Anti-X Linux but it didn't convince me, because I was looking for an operating system where I could use Libre Office at least. I tried downloading Lubuntu but the version I downloaded didn't work for me, I don't remember which version it was. At the moment I installed Q4OS, I managed to use Libre Office but I still feel that my experience is not fluid in it. Anyway, I would like you to recommend me some other operating system that can work with 512 MB of RAM, I don't know if I'm missing out on a better operating system than the ones I've tried.

After restarting, the text size reverts to small. Is there a way to set it to 145% by clicking a file? After startup I always have to go to display settings, scale, text size and change it to 145% would be nice if I could automate that somehow.

I just installed Windows 10 and see a huge drop off in the boot time and shut down times. I have an i7 laptop with the OS partitioned on a SSD drive. Windows 8.1 would take 10-15 seconds to boot up. This isnt the case here, right after the logo displays, I get a blank screen for a good minute. The laptop is fine after booting up, no lagging or heating issues so far. I really don't want to clean install, just because the AMD drivers for my gfx card are a pain in the rear to properly install. Also reading people having this issue even after a clean install. Anyone else having the same issue? Posted via the Windows Central App for AndroidZaZeroJul 14, 2025Iron Contributor32Views0likes2CommentsThe best way to backup Windows 10 to external drive?
My old Windows 10 PC is short for free storage as it only has a 128GB SSD inside. I purchased a new SSD and want to backup Windows 10 first before reinstalling Windows 10 on the new drive. Does Windows 10 have a built-in backup program or I need to use a third-party app to backup Windows 10 to external drive? I am not a tech savvy and need your advice on this matter.

Windows 10 Pro ver 22H2, MSI M=motherboard, i9, 128 GB RAM, NVMe boot disk. ** The issue is a Win10-to-Win10 in-place repair/upgrade that fails after what looks like a successful and lengthy process. Background: This is a new hardware system that started from an in-place upgrade from Win7 to Win10. The newly upgraded Win10 was a bit quirky, but worked out most of the bugs - mostly drivers, of course. But still an odd hiccup, sooo, decided to do an in-place Win 10 Upgrade/Repair, but it fails. Twice tried the in-place Upgrade with two different ISO's, one from the Media Creation Tool based on my system, and another multi-version ISO from an MS web page. What is peculiar is that the install looks like it goes perfectly well - goes thru a 20+ minute process, first in Windows, then a blue DOS-ish screen, then back to Windows. Then all of a sudden a little dialog that simply says "Windows 10 installation failed". Dont bother suggesting a clean install. That is a sick and insane idea that people throw out there like they've said something smart. Not smart. And that is because not only does all the software have to be - reinstalled, but what about all the setups and tweaks one does as they curate and caress their software. Many such tweaks on a mature system might be years old, so NO, not going thru have to figure all that out. Have tried all the tries - SFC, DISM (see note below), chkdsk, driver updates/uninstall-reinstall, virus scan, hardware stress tests. Another perhaps related peculiarity is that DISM /RestoreHealth fails with the "source files could not be found" error. Also, DISM fails after it works for a really long time, usually on 62.3%, but then comes back with the "source" error.NotAFanJul 14, 2025Copper Contributor41Views0likes1Comment- QueendeeJul 14, 2025Iron Contributor15Views0likes0Comments
[Unsolved] How to add unallocated space to C drive when it’s not adjacent?
I recently noticed that my C drive is running out of space. So, I opened Disk Management and saw that there is some unallocated space on my disk. I thought I could just extend the C drive, but when I right-click on it, the "Extend Volume" option is greyed out. It seems like the unallocated space is not directly next to the C drive on the right side. I’m not really sure how to move or merge that unallocated space into C drive. Is there a way to add unallocated space to C drive in this situation? Do I need to use some third-party software, or is there a way to do it with the built-in tools?Clearlove7Jul 14, 2025Copper Contributor13Views0likes1CommentCould you help me find an operating system for my PC?
