How can I update my laptop to 1909 from 1809?
I have an outdated PC that's been serving me well for a while now, but I'm starting to experience some issues. When I try to update the operating system, I'm getting a message saying that it's too outdated to proceed with the installation of Windows 10 version 1909. The question is, would using a generic or product key have any positive impact on this situation? Or do I really need to consider upgrading to a more modern PC as it's recommending? I'd appreciate any insight, as I'm fairly new to PC maintenance and don't want to make things worse.How to Install Windows 10 on USB drive?
Hi, I’ve previously created bootable USB drives using the Windows Media Creation Tool, but these primarily serve as installation media rather than allowing me to run Windows 10 directly from the USB. Now, I'm interested in setting up a full Windows 10 environment on the USB, similar to the Windows To Go feature, but I understand that Windows To Go has some limitations and might not be officially supported in newer versions. How can I install Windows 10 on USB? My goal is to create a portable version of Windows 10 that I can carry with me and use to boot different computers, ensuring that my settings and data persist across sessions.Where to download Windows Media Creation Tool for Windows 10?
My Windows 10 computer was crashed with blue screen of death. I am urgently need to make a Windows 10 bootable USB to regain access to the desktop. I heard this could be done with the official Windows media creation tool. However, I am unable to locate the download link of Windows 10 media creation tool. Instead, only the Windows 10 disk image (ISO file) is available for download. Is Windows Media Creation Tool for Windows 10 no longer available for download on Microsoft website? Please share your insight and alternative ways to create a Windows 10 install media with a USB flash drive. Thanks
Another KB5048652 update screwup?
All, chasing solutions.... on 13th Dec 24, WU installed this KB fix for an issues created by an earlier KB update in Oct '24. Since then, my Logitech EX110 wireless mulltimedia keyboard hot keys have ceased to function. Some of these are hard programmed and some are user selectable, and cover various function like volume / mute, calculator, browser, along with programmable F keys that can be set with a secondary action to open progs like word or excel etc. The loss of functionality isnt a show stopper, but it IS inconvenient. I, and Logitech, would like to know WTF its done!! The logitech setpoint software has 3 tabs 1st for mouse, 2nd for keyboard and 3rd for tools. The 2nd tab, keyboard and/or drivers, refuses or is stopped from loading, hence the loss of the hot keys. the rest of the "standard" keyboard, as you can see, works fine. Im currently working with Logitech tech support but so far they're stumped, having gone through all the 'usual' L1 solutions, upgrade the software & switch it off and on etc, was escalated to L2, and hence deleting folders, removing registry entries and deleting specific files DLLs etc, has still brought no resolution. I can see from looking at the system, the keyboard is running off the Win standard keyboard drivers, not the logitch ones it should be, but despite all the above, multiple installs, uninstalls, registry cleans, and even resorting to installing the original V2a that came with the keyboard, then v6.0, then v6.6 and back to the current 6.9 nothing has sorted it. Ive seen several others commenting about issues resulting from this KB 'fix' which from what I can find out, the original issue it 'fixed' has little or nothing to do directly with Win 10. Anyone got any ideas? Frustrated Phil. email address removed for privacy reasons

Windows 10: IME freezing
Hi Everyone, In my office, January 6 was the first day back to work from the winter holiday. Multiple "Windows 10 over Citrix" users in our Japan office reported that the Windows Japanese Input Method Editor (IME) was freezing. This freezing does not occur when typing with English keyboard input, but only occurs after switching to Japanese IME. A Windows restart may fix the issue, but the issue returned for some users. Not every user experiences the issue, so it is inconsistent. A similar issue on Windows 8 with the same symptoms had occurred in the past: IME freezes for a while when you input text in Windows - Microsoft Support Has anyone encountered a similar issue recently? Could a recent Windows update have caused this issue?
