1. Whilst you may find software that will partition you HDD with the OS installed I'd always recommend backup your personal files and use the partition software you wish to use.

If you have a product key, get a copy of Windows 8 on a bootable USB and partition on reinstalling Windows.

Set C: 80-120GB, rest for data and change the default folder location for your downloads, documents, videos and pictures to the second partition.

2. If the device is not listed in Device Manager you aren't likely to have a dedicated GPU. Did you verify this information I device manager?

3. Using a charger with higher amperage will charge it faster. Most laptops will stop charging when the battery is full. Please confirm the voltage and amperage of the original charger and that of the charger you wish to use.

Just a little addendum to what the poster above me (AKBliv010) said:

1. Whilst you may find software that will partition you HDD with the OS installed I'd always recommend backup your personal files and use the partition software you wish to use...if the system came pre-installed, I'll say aside your personal files backup the SWSETUP folder as well, since this is where all the drivers and the pre-installed applications are. Backing up this folder would save you time and when you need to reinstall your driver's after you are done installing Windows.


2. If the device is not listed in Device Manager you aren't likely to have a dedicated GPU. Did you verify this information I device manager?...he might have a dedicated GPU, but improper driver installation might not make it turn up in Device Manager, unless he knows what to look for.

Connect your phone to the PC and make sure you are connected to the Internet

Open Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Configure a device

The Hardware Troubleshooter will open. Set it to fix the detected problems automatically.

Click on Next to run the Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter. Once the scan is completed, it will present you with a report.

Choose the ones you want to fix and click on Next.

The Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter will try to fix the problems for you.

Hello skydancer and anyone who can help. I recently replaced my mother board and I have 2 problems. First the wifi doesn't connect anymore, it sees the network but for some reason it does not connect. I have updated the drivers using a cable connection but it's still not working. Secondly, it's now telling me activate windows. My laptop is a year old and the OS is originalso and even after upgrading to win 10 I never had issues. Please help me. Thanks

Emmaesty:
Thanks i will try that now and report back

Modified : I can't find configure a device

Emmaesty:
I searched for troubleshooting and then clicked hardware and this is what I saw but it's still not working

AKBliv010:


Actually on that report you have Windows update to never install drivers. I think that's your issue. Allow driver updates.

Emmaesty:
Sorry please how do I do that

AKBliv010:

In the Control Panel window. Type 'troubleshooting'.
Click on Find and fix problems, under Troubleshooting
Click Fix problems with Windows Update, under System and Security
If it asks, click on try troubleshooter as administrator

Emmaesty:
My phone is still not showing on the system

AKBliv010:

Now you have windows to update driver, run the hardware troubleshooter again.

Emmaesty:
It's still showing the same thing and I tried the fixing stuff again. My phone has been connected all this while and the Internet connection has been there

AKBliv010:

Hmmm...what phone is it?

Emmaesty:
Infinix hot 2. My flash drive works on the system but most phones don't

AKBliv010:


Hardware changes, especially the motherboard will trigger the activate Windows. Connect to Internet and try to activate it manually by
Press Windows key + R
A box will open
Type in: SLUI.EXE 4,then Enter
Pick your location and follow onscreen instructions, its a free automated call.

For your wifi try the hardware troubleshooter detailed above.

AKBliv010:


Update it to the latest, if that doesn't work try the older versions
