Windows 10: Upgrade or Clean Install

You probably are thinking about upgrading your current operating system to windows 10. You may or may not know there are two ways to install windows 10 that's either as an upgrade or clean install.

Now there are pros & cons to both but there is really one way to do it and that would be a clean install.

Backup your data in upgrade but specially in clean install.


Upgrade :- In upgrade windows 10 is installed over your current operating system so that all your files and setting are restored so when installation is done you won't any changes expect some programs might not work due to compatibility issue. Upgrade is easier and is less hassle. There are problems in upgrading any operating system. Old programs will stay that you don't use anymore. Any Virus Or spyware will also stay is you had. More things could go wrong. Operating system needs to keep old files and setting and write new operating system files. Upgrading the operating system may lead in lower performance just doing update because of all the above reason.



Clean Install :- In clean install everything will be brand new. No old or dead programs that does not work. This will lead to better performance , in fact you are going to get the best performance you possibly can because there is nothing that shouldn't be there. User needs a bit more technical knowledge in clean install because of creating partition or selecting partition in which you want to install. It a long and painful process on reinstalling every program again but its worth it.

How to Disable Login Screen in Windows 8, 8.1 & 10

Your Windows PC, if you’re running Windows 8 or Windows 10, is tied to your Live account. When you login to your system you have to enter the same password that could open your Hotmail/outlook email account, log you into Skype, and even buy apps from the Windows App Store. Unfortunately, that’s also the only thing preventing access to your PC. If you aren’t too bothered about securing your computer with a password, and are just plain annoyed with having to login in repeatedly, there is a simple way to disable it so that you can just dive right in and start using your PC. Here’s how.
Right-click the Start button and select the Run option. Type netplwiz and hit enter.


This will open the User Accounts window. There are other ways to open this window; you can use the Control Panel as well. The Run dialogue is the quickest way to open it. If you have several different accounts configured, choose the one that you would like to skip the whole login and password option for. Uncheck the ‘Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer’ and click Apply at the bottom.


Restart your system and you will see you no longer have to enter a password to start using it. Disabling the password has pros and cons of course, so be mindful that you’re taking a layer of security off your system and trading it in for convenience by doing this.

Enable Android's Secret Right-to-Left Layout If You're Left Handed

Android: Your phone's default layout caters to the right-handed user. If you're left-handed, switch your layout to right-to-left with just a tap to be more comfortable using your device.

First you need to get into your developer options, then you can enable the layout change. Here's how:

Go into Settings > About Phone.
Scroll down until you see "Build Number" and tap it seven times in quick succession. This will enable developer options (if they're not enabled already.)
Once your phone tells you you're a developer, hit the back button to go to the main settings.
At the bottom, right above About Phone, you'll now see "Developer Options" where it wasn't before. Tap it.
Scroll down and tap the box to enable "Force RTL layout direction".
Your layout should instantly switch, giving your left thumb better reach to tap everything you need without so much strain. In addition, you'll see the layout direction of your home screen has changed. You'll pull to open Google Now the same way
