Topic Wiki

I figured that even this thread can have a wiki.
If your computer or phone is giving you issues:

• Please read this before posting: 4 Reasons Why IT People Ignore Your Requests for Help
• Restart the computer. Hopefully this will take care of any issues
• If your problem has not yet been solved, try to Google it. There may be a very simple solution
• On a Windows computer, a system restore may do the trick.
(This is a work in progress, please feel free to add whatever you may feel is helpful)


Please post whether or not the problem was fixed

Download it on another computer or even on your smartphone and then transfer it to a usb and install it.  But download it only from dell's website.

And hope that you have USB drivers to read it. I had that problem once and I had to burn the USB drivers onto a DVD to install them.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Windows update should fix many of these issues (this is the reason windows 10 is easier to install)
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

The reason I did cd over download is cause I thought it'll be simpler and #2 cause I don't have a Windows key.

Once you upgrade to Windows 10 you can do a clean install on a new hard drive
