Hey guys -
Last night I built a new machine but kept my old SSD and HDD. I formatted both of these storage as I wanted to have clean storage with new machine. To install my Windows 7 Professional 64bit, I unplugged HDD and only connected the SSD drive.
This is how I formatted my drives:
HDD: Before I formatted my SSD, I went to device manage>storage> disk management and formatted my HDD from here.
SSD: After formatting and unplugging my HDD, I booted from my Windows 7 CD and formatted my SSD from custom (advance) windows installation, and also installed Windows 7.
Here's why I think I might have to re-install my Windows 7:
1. After installation, I ran windows update, got 200 updates the first round. Restarted my computer, it is saying there are 16 additional. So I downloaded and restarted my computer. Now they are saying there are 7 more, 8 more, 6 more, etc. It keeps prompting me with more windows updates after I finish one installation and restart my computer.
2. I cannot upgrade to Windows 10. After downloading Windows 10, I was brought to Windows BIOS screen for Windows 10 to get installed. From here, I get error message "Windows 10 couldn't be installed" error 8007002C-40000D.
3. I cannot install some of the items (Origin, Battlefield, etc.) to my C: drive (SSD). I can download stuff fine, but cannot install items within my SSD.
4. If I change SATA type from IDE to AHCI, my windows wil not boot, prompting me to "restore windows (recommended)" or "Start windows normally". If I press restore, it performs restore for like 5 minutes and prompts me back to the same screen. If I press start windows normally, it prompts me back to the same screen giving me circular motion. So I have to change back to IDE to boot windows.
Sorry for the long note, and thanks for those who read my concerns. If you guys know a solution to what I am going through, PLEASE let me know!!! Also, if you guys think only way to fix this problem is to re-install windows, PLEASE let me know how to do so (more detail better! I am pretty new to building my own machine).
Thanks guys!!!
