Good luck everyone 🙂
I don't wanna go through the hassle of moving the files from Windows.old like I did with 8.1. Does the upgrade option just erase my old windows and not put my files in Windows.old?
Good job. Worked for me and I recommend this video for yall
What if I am on a dell pc, what do I pick?

THANK U WORKED FOR ME
Thank you so much for your videos ..i immediately subscribed to your voice 😅but how do i create a recovery partition incase i face a blue\black screen in the future?
This why we love awra 2 hours pure joy
Is Rufus software needed?
I’ve been having this problem starting today of an error code 0xc0000225 I tried all the steps that Microsoft and other computer expert told me to try nothing work so now I am trying your fresh install of windows. However, I’ve also been having issues with my computer, not restarting or shutting off the keyboard and mouse will turn off the monitor will stay on and all of the RGB on my fans and my LCD screen on my water cooler stays on
Perhaps this is not a software problem, but some kind of malfunction in one of the components of the PC.
Watch the tips in this video, there is something rational in them:
czcams.com/video/m3Bqh_EdgvI/video.html
This didn't work for me. The install stopped when I selected partition 2. The message was that Windows could not be installed on a MBR drive. However, I just installed Windows 10 on a MBR format drive. The installation thumb drive just overwrote the drive. What good is this if it won't support MBR to GRT?
Just convert the disk to GPT using MBR2GPT.EXE. Its easy
thnx a lot bro 😊❤

I have windows 11 and I think my PC is bricked. It keeps booting up in windows recovery environment and none of the recovery options are working and I can't boot into windows. Windows 11 in general is a hassle so I want to install windows 10 from a flash drive. My question now is will I lose my files?
If you use the method in my video, you won't lose your files.
When i restarted the computer, it froze on the hp loading screen
I have windows 7 and I'm upgrading to windows 10, if I followed every step would I keep my files ?
Yes, sure!
But just in case, back up your important files and save them to another drive.
With this method it will keep my installed programs (photoshop and others) or have I to reinstall them ?
As you can see in my video, some apps continue to work after installing a new Windows, but I can't say that ALL apps will continue to work, I just couldn't test ALL apps.
i'm not a pro but htank you still useful to remember basic stuff sometimes :)
What happens if you choose iso file instead usb flash drive ??
I'm sorry, but I didn't understand your question.
At what step in the video do you want to choose ISO instead of flash drive?
I have 2 M.2 SSD'S and I think the one that has Windows installed on it is dead. the 2nd M.2 just has games installed but I'd rather not lose those files. Is there a way to install windows on the m.2 that doesn't have windows on it? The 1st ssd seems to not even be recognized by the BIOS
Yes, you can install Windows on a second disk where only games are installed, but in order not to lose personal files on the second disk you may need another computer or laptop.
If you follow my recommendations exactly, then you can do all this without any problems.
1. It is possible that the first disk still works, and you can first try installing Windows 10 or 11 on the first disk using a bootable USB flash drive of Windows 10 or 11.
If you don’t have such a flash drive, you can ask your relative or friend for it, or you can make such a flash drive yourself, but this requires another computer or laptop, making a flash drive will not be difficult and is free.
2. If Windows 10 or 11 Home was installed on the first disk, then you need to install the same edition of Windows, that is, Home.
If you had Windows Pro, you should install Windows Pro and then you will retain your Microsoft license.
3. If you are sure that the first disk does not work, then on another computer you need to install Windows 10 or 11 on an external flash drive, here is a video guide:
czcams.com/video/P3CgiibnTrw/video.html
This must be done to boot your computer from Windows on an external flash drive and use this Windows to compress the second disk with games and personal files, thereby freeing up disk space for installing Windows on this disk.
Here's a video tutorial on how to shrink a drive to create two independent partitions on one drive:
czcams.com/video/wMsrl3vpZJ0/video.html
After creating the second partition on the game disk, you need to disconnect the external flash drive with Windows and boot the computer from the Windows installation USB flash drive to install Windows on the new partition on the second disk.
Installing Windows requires at least 60 GB of disk space.
I hope that I wrote all this clearly, and if you have any questions, you can ask me about it.
If we Update windows 10 without new installation from the same setup is anything wrong??
This video shows the usual installation of Windows 10, but with one change - there is no need to delete and format disks and partitions, so after installing a new Windows, personal files from the previous Windows will be preserved.
My hard drive doesnt have an OS but it has important files. I wanna ask if i use ur method the games will stay or not?
I hope u answer
This method is for reinstalling Windows, in your case I’m not sure whether the old data on the disk will remain unchanged or not..
What if I have a previous home version and now I want to install pro or any other version
In this case, automatic activation will not occur, because these will be different editions of Windows.
You can choose to do the following:
1. Install Windows Pro instead of Windows Home and use Windows Pro without activation. Windows without activation will still work just with minor restrictions in the settings.
2. You can install Windows Pro instead of Windows Home and then buy an OEM activation key on the Internet, it’s not at all expensive and activate the new Windows with this key.
Enter “buy an OEM key for Windows 10 Pro” in your browser search and find a suitable site
Will this also work if the computer already has windows 10 and you just want to reinstall windows 10 without losing any data?
Yes, sure!
This method will work when installing any version and edition of Windows.
The only thing is that if Bitlocker was enabled on the previous Windows, it will not allow you to save personal files to the new Windows.
@@ipMalikbro my brother deleted windows security, will it still work for me?
@@PHENOMENALME Did your Brother manage to uninstall Windows Defender?
He's just a computer genius😊
Most likely, he did not uninstall, but disabled Defender, and there is nothing wrong with that; after a while, the OS should turn on Defender automatically.
@@ipMalik he just didn't only disabled defender but somehow deleted windows security. If I open open it display nothing there. And I can't download that as well.
@@PHENOMENALME If your computer has a system restore point, then you can restore Windows and everything else according to this point.
This video shows how to restore Windows according to the restore point:
czcams.com/video/BCPTr21Z9Kw/video.html
But if your computer does not have such a restore point, you can try the following:
Open the Microsoft website page using this link if you have Windows 10:
www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Click "Update Now" and when the Update Tool downloads to your computer, run it and follow the recommendations of this application.
If you have Windows 11:
www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11
I hope that during the update process the deleted element of your Windows will be restored.
hello i on wind 7 and i update to wind 11 but i wondering is this ttue that in wind 7 u cannot lose data?
Hello,
if you repeat all the installation steps from my video exactly and without errors, then the installer will create the windows.old folder and put all your personal files in this folder, exactly as you see in this video.
I Love this Video
what if windows going in diagnosis mode ?? can i install new window in same pc without losing old data
Yes, sure!
Please let me know about it when you're done.
1:05 can I do the same if I don't have original version (not activated previous os win 7 ) will it work??
Before starting the process, you can activate the seven with a free activator
windows-7-activator.com/
If you have Windows 7 Home - choose Windows 10 Home, if Ultimatum - choose Windows 10 Pro.
I'm not sure if this will work since Microsoft hasn't supported Windows 7 for a long time, but you can try.
1:05 should work for Windows 7, activation does not affect this in any way.
I have an 32 gig sd card but I don't have pen drive will it still work
Yes, a 32 gig sd card will work the same as a USB flash drive.
And you can also install Windows 10 without a USB drive and save personal files, here is this method:

If you follow all the steps in this video carefully and without errors, you will keep the Microsoft license and keep your files and applications.

During Windows Setup, in the part where it says "Getting files ready for installation" it's stopped at 12% and hasn't changed in almost a half hour... is that normal?
What happened after that
@@barium_67 I restarted it when I woke up in the morning. It finished the install and then BSOD'd with a Page Fault in Non Paged Area. I went and bought a copy of Windows 11 and installed on a different SSD... same problem... page fault. The drive with Windows 11 booted up once, but when I changed screen resolution it crashed and never booted up again.
I tried to update all the drivers... and can't. I have a Storage/IDE fault in device manager. Can't find drivers for it. I also had problems with my GTX 960 drivers. Messing around with that caused another error.
Fixed the graphics card error, but I cannot boot 10 or 11 into safe mode at all. A repair installation doesn't change the Page Fault error. The only thing I can think of as the reason is that I have an MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard that I read later does not support Windows 10 or 11.
At this point I am considering building a new PC.
If it won't let you continue after selecting the partition. .go and disable legacy boot and restart the process. . you will be able to install without formatting your files
how do you do that
@@voxiic.it should be somewhere in bios boot settings
Can i do upgrade? Like for the inplace upgrade, i am asking this because i will probably loose my windowsapps data which is annoying
In this case, all applications and programs will be saved in the Windows Old folder. and they should all continue to work, which I showed in my video.
I do not have the opportunity to check the operation of ALL applications; it is possible that some of them will have to be reinstalled again.
@ipMalik ah ok , but i feel like upgrade is similar to the inplace upgrade , because i already did the inplace uograde this year 1time and i didnt lose my apps
@@ghalilahloumimiseconde3771 When you update Windows 8.1 or 10 to Windows 11, all applications will work as usual; you can return from Windows 11 to Windows 10 without any loss only within 10 days.
@ipMalik i am doing an inplace upgrade windows 10 by using usb boot . I am not really installing windows 11
@@ghalilahloumimiseconde3771 ok
So what will happen if I select upgrade instead of custom? Shouldn’t you pick upgrade to keep everything you have?
asking the same question rn '-' please let me know if you have figured it out
Waiting for answer
@@kanalyzer7547 Actually I picked the upgrade option and it didnt work it said I"The upgrade optionisn't available if you start you computer using Windows media."
Can this process help to fix my PC from bsod every boot
It is quite possible that this problem is due to damage to one of the Windows elements, a clean installation of new Windows in most cases solves this problem.
Hey does a document will be deleted? Pls answer
If you repeat all the steps from this video without errors, then all your files as well as documents will be saved.
Will this keep my drive d and E data as it is?
If you do everything correctly according to my video, then this process will not affect other drives in any way, because everything happens only on drive C.
So I can install windows 10 on my pc with windows 11 without losing any data?
Yes, sure!
This is the main theme of the video - pay attention to how the process takes place and what happens in the end.
@@ipMalik Thanks. Everywhere else I looked they said I couldn't keep my files, so I was just making sure. Great video.

If I have DVD Windows 10 how I install Windows 10?
To install Windows 10 using a DVD, the steps are exactly the same as using a bootable Windows 10 USB flash drive.
You need to insert the DVD into your computer, reboot it and call up the Boot Menu.
In the Boot Menu, select DVD and press Enter, everything else you will see and find out here:

My Laptop have now windows 10 can i do this for install windows 8.1 without data losing
Without format or delete i think we can run both windows 10 & 8.1 . But i want to delete win 10 after installation win 8.1
Can u help me in whatspp
@@R3XTER_GAMING I'm sorry, but I don't talk about this topic on social media.
Without formatting the disk and deleting partitions during the installation process, all data on drive C will still be completely deleted and only one new Windows will start, which you will install instead of the old one.
The installer will not delete all personal files from the old Windows, but will place them in Windows.old.
Watch this video carefully, I made it in real time and everything is well shown there.
@@ipMalik Can i ask one question
@@ipMalik Now I have windows 10. Think I'm going to Intall windows 8.1 with your step. After the installation , is there both windows 10 & 8.1.
(after install , on the laptop ask choose the windows your want to run )

Ipmalik can you make a video on how to Uninstall Windows 10 and revert back to Windows 8.1. Windows 10 is giving me Black Screen since upgrading on my Lenovo A8 PC from Windows 8.1 to 10😢😢😢

this requires a flash drive right? otherwise i will need to get my hands on one
Yes, you need a USB flash drive for this - all this is shown in the video.
how long did it take for your windows to install?
2-3 hours
Keeps stopping me from using option one becuse I used installation media to start my pc but that is the only why i got here since my pc is in a boot loop
Please tell us in more detail, at what step the loading cycle appeared and what you see on the screen indicating the loading cycle.

I'm gonna give this a try as I just got all new components except the SSD where my c drive is on, I have windows already installed on the SSD, would doing these steps and reinstalling a fresh version of windows 10 still work even if I have windows 10 on the drive I'm trying to put it on?

Bhaiya USB select krte hi windows mein log in ho ja raha h... New installation nhii ho pa raha
I don’t know how you created a bootable flash drive and how you booted a computer from this flash drive ..
If everything is done as shown in my video, there should be no problems.

Is there a way to do this with no flash drive? And what to choose if im using windows 11 pro
Yes, there is a way from Windows 11 to return to Windows 10 without a USB flash drive, but this is without saving personal files on drive C:
czcams.com/video/mx0ivEqksr4/video.html
During the process, the update program will independently select the Windows edition and if you had Windows 11 Pro, you will end up with Windows 10 Pro.
@@ipMalik Is there anyway to not loose any files and apps.
@@KanterXD The method in this video shows how to install a new Windows without losing personal files, applications and games.
Can you use an external hard drive to install windows?
@@KanterXD If I understand you correctly, you want to use a USB drive to create a bootable Windows device instead of a regular USB flash drive? Or do you want to install Windows on an external drive?
In any case, you can do both the first and second.
I could not even open the file after downloaded. It gave me error 0x80072F8F - 0x20000
If you encounter error 0x80072f8f 0x20000 when creating a bootable Windows 10 USB flash drive using the official Media Creation Tool, then most likely you have Windows 7 or Windows 8 installed.
It occurs because these versions of Windows are no longer supported and you need to create a bootable USB flash drive in another way.
Try to create a bootable USB flash drive using the free Rufus application, in this video this is the second method:
czcams.com/video/3er-oSk6JPM/video.html
I've tried the second method but samething happened. As soon as I open windows file it gave me that error so I could not go any further@@ipMalik

@@dillonle4034 Most likely at this moment the installer shows you a message and indicates the reason, please write me this message verbatim.
How we can now install all the Programs?
After Windows installation is complete, you need to open Windows.old, then open the Program Files or Program Files (86x) folder, open the folder with the required program, find the icon of this program, right-click on the icon and select Send to Desktop (create shortcut).
@@ipMalik thank you
Does the usb need to be completely empty?
The main thing here is that there are no important files on the USB flash drive, so before starting the process you need to transfer your files to your computer.
Before creating a bootable USB, the MediaCreationTool application automatically formats the USB flash drive.
@@ipMalik hi. I have a question. If I select c drive in installation and it moves all files to window.old folder. Will all the other drives be intact?
@@pentasquare In the window where you select a disk to install the new Windows, do not under any circumstances format other disks, and then your data on other disks will remain unchanged.
@@ipMalik so just don't click anything other than the C drive? Please I'm really scared
@@pentasquare Yes, just click on drive C.
If you are in doubt, first open This PC and remember the size of the C drive, and when you install a new Windows, in the drive selection window you can easily find the C drive by its size.
What if it is asking that windows can only be installed to GPT disks
This
So I can reinstall windows 7 like this
Yes, sure!
how do you save your files i will subscribe and like on 10 devices if you explain in more detail
The installer saves the files, then places them in the Windows.old folder, and the user only needs to make a couple of clicks.
If you look at 5:38 you will see for yourself how easy it is to do.
@@ipMalikhow do you know which disk to choose to get the windows installed? Is it always the one with the most memory?
@@hristoaleksandrov7541 Yes, of course, there is a difficulty in choosing a disk, because in the installation program it is not indicated by the letter C ..
I usually do the following:
If you have already started the installation and stopped at the step where you need to select a disk, then restart your PC and return to Windows.
Then on the desktop, open This PC and just remember or write down the size of drive C.
After that, it is already easy to navigate which disk to choose for installing the OS.
@@ipMalik thx for the response and the video was helpful
Does it save applications as well?
Yes, of course it saves, because it is shown in my video.
But I'm not sure that ALL applications will remain in working condition, since it is impossible for me to check ALL applications.
@@ipMalik I appreciate the video and I wanted to recover keeping all of my apps without having to reinstall them all. But I is looking like that is exactly what I will have to do. I know some of the apps are old but Microsoft office pro was just fine for me to keep using in my opinion, but most of my apps including Microsoft Office will have to be reinstalled, unless someone knows how to move and point the old apps and icons to the new windows/program files to. Going to start reinstalling apps unless someone has an idea about this.
@@davidgetty107 The easiest way to move application icons is shown in this video.
After installing the new Windows, you need to open the C drive, then the Windows.old folder, open Program Files in this folder, then open the folder with the required application, find the application icon, right-click and select "Send to Desktop" from the list.
After i did all what needs to be done, i can't boot to home it's stuck on getting ready
