Download error while trying to update to Windows 11 Insider Preview Feature Update (26220.7535)
I'm in dev channel of the insider program and i just update to Windows 11 version 25H2 pro, but when I try to download the update "Windows 11 Insider Preview Feature Update (26220.7535)" I'm just getting "Download error - 0x80070002", I try to reset and restart the update services and deleting the update cache. Anyone now how can I fix this? I really appreciate any help.CheYoNator83Jan 14, 2026Occasional Reader12Views0likes0CommentsWill Windows 11 run well if My computer is old?
I know it looks like trolling/ragebait, but please don't disregard it as that. I'm poor. This is my only computer. As you can see it is top 2025 technology /s It is running with an HDD only and the graphics are Intel G41 express chipset. Two years ago I used to use Windows 10 on this same machine, and you needed patience to use it. Another thing I did not like was the stuff it downloaded on the background (updates afaik). My internet service is like 2 MB so it had an impact. These things made me go back to Win 8.1. But obviously this is not only really dangerous as internet is still needed, but Windows 8.1 is not really stable in my machine. Blue screens are more common. Honestly I think I can get over windows 10 performance as long if its more stable (and also it would be actually safe to browse the internet, as I have planned to install Win 10 IoT LTSC). Honestly when working with slow systems, after everything has finally loaded or recovered from a lockup, the experience with the opened software its ok. Games are not a problem as the only games I play are Neo Geo games. The heaviest work I do in my computer is Video Editing, which I do with Linux on dual boot. But also got curious from installing Windows 11 as people say its not so different from Windows 10, but I'm not really sure bc, obv, english speaking post are likely from a good country, and will probably be rocking hardware that is acceptable in todays standards, and therefore the difference between 10 and 11 would look like less from then, but at the end im speculating.KaydenyoJan 14, 2026Iron Contributor32Views1like4CommentsWindows 12 as far as i know?
As per this thread created, i got some information about Windows 12, which is: Windows 12 is coming about late 2024 or early 2025. Windows 12 is possibly already show up on Canary Channel although it is not officially confirmed. Several news sources say that HP give a hint if around October 2024, the Windows 11 version 24H2 (or Windows 11 2024 Update) is released, while HP is keep silent about Windows 12, which is possibly Windows 12 will be delayed a bit later after Windows 11 24H2 released. System requirements for Windows 12 is definitely higher than Windows 11. Windows 12 still require TPM 2, Secure Boot support, and processor that capable to use hardware accelerated VBS properly, such as processor that released on 2018 and later. Windows 12 require minimum 8 GB of ram and possibly still same 64 GB disk space, while SSD is becoming a mandatory. Actually, Windows 12 require special hardware named NPU (Neural Processing Unit) for all features in Windows 12 is working properly, but since the NPU is still very expensive to acquire (or basically you need an Intel Core Ultra 5 125U at least), so these requirements should be optional. Information about whether Windows 12 will be a subscription based operating system or not is still unclear, but most speculation says that Windows 12 is not required to subscribe to use. That's it from me. If you got any more further information about Windows 12, you can share here. Thanks to XDA that give me a big overview about Windows 12.DeletedJan 14, 20261MViews6likes81CommentsWhy did an extra E drive appear after updating to Windows 10?
After the system completes an update, a previously unseen E drive partition suddenly appears in “This PC” or Disk Management. It is unclear whether this partition is a system recovery partition, a temporary partition, or an abnormal display. Please advise on how to identify it and recommend appropriate handling.DreinJan 14, 2026Iron Contributor9Views0likes1CommentWindows 11 fan spins wildly during standby
When the laptop is in idle standby mode, it often abruptly shifts from quiet operation to full-speed fan rotation. However, routine checks in Task Manager reveal no high-resource processes. Upon occasionally opening Task Manager and observing without interaction, a suspicious process appears when the fan activates. Yet, the process vanishes immediately upon touching the mouse or keyboard, making sustained tracking impossible. Seeking troubleshooting and resolution methods for this invisible process.DreinJan 14, 2026Iron Contributor17Views0likes1CommentWindows 11 displays a black screen with an error after the login screen.

I recently built a new PC, but I noticed that its performance and speed are significantly lower than my old computer, even though the new system has more powerful hardware components. I am unsure why the new machine is running slower despite having better specifications, and I would like to understand what could be causing this issue so I can optimize its performance.NathanelpJan 14, 2026Iron Contributor12Views0likes1Comment
