I don't like telemetry, forced updates and communism but Windows 8.1 has got nothing of sorts. Like Windows 7, user have full control over the OS and it's operations. It has a solid kernal. I've been...

The HDD will be the primary or C: drive and the SSD will be the D: drive. If there were programs previously installed on the SSD when it was a C: drive, what happens when it becomes the D: drive? Will the programs run or...

I did a remote and what I see is like a standard profile so I dove in to the users and sure enough there are 2; his and one called TEMP.
