That's like high wire acts without a net. Can be fatal.
"Windows Backup" has many posts so where's your backup?
As to 10, no. At the office it's been 98% fine. An occasional search for a touchpad driver but the rest were flawless. As to video drivers, I think folk have forgotten that not all are going to be automatically found.
I had recently upgraded my Asus A53S from Windows 7 to 10. Along with this update I decided it was necessary to update my graphics card drivers as well (GT540m). Apparently the newest driver update from Nvidia has been known to cause severe problems with Windows 10, causing things such as black log in screens (caused by phantom external monitor? and making login impossible) but still displaying cursor movement, and in my case, after initially experiencing these black screens, resetting my hard-drive's primary partition to factory default (including clearing the hard-drive, resetting to Windows 7, and deleting any system restore points). Needless to say, I'm quite heartbroken. She's always been a reliable machine for most everything, but now there's no way to restore to a point before factory backup in 2011. First and foremost, has anyone ever experienced this issue with 10 and corrupted graphics driver updates? And perhaps more importantly, is there anyway to restore the primary partition to the condition it was in before the driver update? This again would have to be without the Windows Backup files as they were also reset and apparently deleted. I've already assumed all the files stored on the disk from the past four years as lost, and am, again, quite heartbroken. I hope there may be some solution to this and appreciate any help, even if the help is simply reassuring my hopelessness. Thanks.
