Reverting back to my original post, I don’t recall ever seeing a lifetime license offer. Is it still available?

I’m having problems installing Tiny 11 on an old PC which does run W10, but is running in MBR. I used Rufus to prepare a USB stick in MBR and tried to boot up from it but it just sits there showing a blue window and makes no progress. I tried to run the prog from inside W10 and get an error message
Any help would be appreciated

Re your last point my ISP, TalkTalk, offered F-Secure Safe free for a year. I was so impressed I purchased it for the following year for £20+ which covered 5 devices, so my mobiles got covered as well as my 3 Windows installations.

Thanks Deanna,

I am running as administrator, and no updates are pending.

I should have mentioned I found this problem on both Windows 7 & 10, which I dual boot

I tried this to get rid of update files, It made no difference. After running it I ran Windows cleanup and found over 3Gb of update files still there, which I then cleaned.
Disappointed.

Very little. It loaded in no time and I haven’t spotted any difference yet.

Can’t find KB5003887 in the Widows Update Catalogue.
Did you mean KB5003667?

I’ve used NP++ for many years, I especially like its Find & Replace function, such a big help when editing text.

Right click on the headers in the explorer window, you’ll get a whole host of items, including Creation Date.
I add Attributes this way.

I’m still using TI 2011 to make and restore whole system backups, booting from CD.
It works perfectly with no fuss.

The Quatermass Experiment from 1953 beats all the above.
It had me hiding behind the couch, even the theme music (Mars from Holst’s Planets Suite)
was frightening.

Thanks guys for all the info.
Having successfully changed the new data drive to GPT I think I’ll stick with MBR for the operating systems for now. I may be into a new motherboard and cpu next year, when I’ll drop W7. In that case I can introduce EUFI then.

Here’s my msinfo32 data;

W10 BIOS Mode Legacy
W10 Boot Device \Device\HarddiskVolume2
W7 Boot Device \Device\HarddiskVolume2

There’s no entry for BIOS Mode in W7

I use Easy BCD to set up boot options, here’s the details page for both windows versions, in case it helps

EasyBCD W10

Default: Windows 10
Timeout: 10 seconds
EasyBCD Boot Device: C:\

Entry #1
Name: Windows 10
BCD ID: {current}
Drive: C:\
Bootloader Path: \WINDOWS\system32\winload.exe

Entry #2
Name: Windows 7
BCD ID: {0c468363-eb83-11e4-a44b-eb5e6d3b2ea1}

Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe

EasyBCD W7

EasyBCD Boot Device: C:\

I have used Mini Tool Partition Wizard (thanks Al Taylor) to successfully convert my 4Tb drive to GPT, but I’m still interested in converting the system to UEFI.

Thanks

A1ex

PaulT see attached screen shot. Drive 0 is the 4Tb drive.

mn- This looks interesting, but do I have to lose all content when carrying out the conversion.
