Anyone a computer person? I need some help. Window 8 PC (horrible) so I made the mistake of saying yes to the Windows 10 'upgrade'.

Well after a few weeks of constant updates and 'repairs' it's now bricked. won't even boot up. So I'm looking for either:

A: copy of Windows 7
B: Windows 10 boot/repair disck
C: someone willing to just fix the damn thing for me.

Don't care which.

Do you have any data you need recovered? I can put win 10 on it for you but you'd need to get your own license.

 

[jamesurq]

Not that concerned with the data on there. _ so just basically buy a copy of 10 and install it?

I feel like I got scammed though - I didn't want 10 - they forced me into it and now it's bricked... Bastards.

Ahhh do a search online - there was a known bug a couple weeks? (month?) back that the win10 auto updates were stuck in a continuous reboot issue - I think if you boot into safe mode you can fix it now.... when I get back to the house I can look it up if you don't find it.

REALLY!

This guy (who teaches in my county) calls himself "Captain Physics" and misses BOTH of these basic questions that another teacher posted on our county list serve. Bad enough that Teacher #1 didn't have a solution but WTF.
(Sorry. Rant = Off)

I am having trouble explaining these two questions. The first We understand that It is newtons 3rd law that says there is an equal and opposite force. But the student in frustration says, THEN WHAT MAKES THING MOVE!? Can someone help me with explaining this.

#23 I got E initially and was about to accept B as an answer because of the wording of the question, but A is correct. HELP!


3) In order to get an object moving, you must push harder on it than it pushes back on you.
A) True
B) False

Answer: B

23) A 6.00-kg ornament is held at rest by two light wires that form 30° angles with the vertical, as shown in the figure. An external force of magnitude F acts vertically downward on the ornament. The tension exerted by each of the two wires is denoted by T. A free-body diagram, showing the four forces that act on the box, is shown in the figure. If the magnitude of force F is 410 N, what is the magnitude of the tension T?

View attachment 1353465

A) 271 N
B) 235 N
C) 188 N
D) 376 N
E) 470 N

Answer: A


Response:
For Question 3 . . . .You would have to push harder to get it to move. In order for an object to go from not moving to any motion - it must accelerate (if only for a moment). Or it wouldn't move at all.

For question 23 - I also got something close to answer B. Since they are the same angle . . the upward force will be 2Tcos30 = 410 . . .so T is about 237 N.

So i won't address the equal and opposite question cuz yes

I can see missing the force question, with a quick read its easy to overlook the mass statement in the first line - I'm trying to give CAPTAIN PHYSICS!!! the benefit of the doubt and am assuming he just breezed through really quickly - Gawd I hope that's what happened.

I run 10 on all my machines and like it just as much, if not more than 7. I'm on my machines at least 8 hours a day.

I could put 7 on there for you as well and have a license for you for 7 if you want to go that route.

pawright - let me know on that fix...

But yeah - I guess I'll just go with the Win 10... suggestions on the cheapest place to buy a copy?

I run Win 10 on my phone and love it almost as much as my 'puter'

looked online but can't find the specific one - sorry - lots of what to dos if you munged your upgrade but no silver bullet like I thought. I know, that doesn't really help you at all - looks like @GLTHFJ60 to the rescue

Are you looking for a legit install or just something that works? There are tons of sites out there with license crackers and whatnot.

Windows 10 home on amazon is $90. That's pretty cheap.

I seen several bricked systems from the forced Windows10 upgrade. A buddy at work was forced to upgrade his workstation from Windows 8 to 10 and got stuck in the upgrade/reboot loop. He was able to fix it after several days but continued to have problems for the next month. Needless to say he was not happy.

I have a MSDN copy of Windows7 and will continue to use 7 as long as I can (or until games stop running on it). I do not use Windows 8 or 10 on a regular basis and pretty much despise all Microsoft products. I refuse to pay for software even when the latest full Office suite was offered for $9.99 at work. Out of 7 computers at home, two run Windows7 and they have been the most problematic systems I own. I cross my fingers when it looks like everything is working normally on them.

Holy cow. That car seems much faster than the others and of course she is an insane driver. The closing speeds are crazy even when the others are on full throttle.

@erymer I found that classic suburban you were looking for Custom roof rack and all
