PC started waking up 5:55 am by itself since last Windows update 11/15

Since last Thursday 11/15, when a windows update was applied, my PC keeps waking up by itself at 5:55 am every day by itself.     From what I know about these things, which I've had before, I looked at the windows event log and see under System ... "Wake Source: Timer - Windows will execute 'Maintenance Activator' scheduled task that requested waking the computer.".     In Task Scheduler, I'm trying to find the property of whatever task is 'scheduled' to run, with the property 'wake the computer', so I can uncheck it, but can't find it.     Running Win 10 on a Dell Inspiron 3847.     I've encountered unexpected wakes before, and seen a lot of posts on this topic.     Any ideas on this specific issue?

Re-installing Windows 7

$

I have a Dell Latitude E5420 with a new hard drive on which I would like to re-install Windows 7 Home Premium.  I have the OEM Windows activation code supplied by Dell.  I have no installation disks.

Microsoft referred me to Dell as the installation is OEM.  When I put the Service Tag into Dell they tell me that no OS is available for that tag.

I have tried a USB stick with a Windows10 installation but my OEM activation code is not accepted.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks  Harry

I have an Inspiron N5010 which i was planning to donate. For security reasons,  I used a software called DBAN to completely wipe the hard drive before donating. Now there is no operating  system.

Of course now my wife says she can use it as a secondary pc at work.

How do i reinstall windows 7. I understand it has to be the pre-installed version that came with Dell.

My WINDOWS 7 PRO LAPTOP, a VOSTRO 3560 model, had a motherboard replacement with an original DELL motherboard P/N PYFNX.  However, it can't select a sleep mode or hibernate since the repair.  In addition, I can't connect it to an external monitor. 

Any ideas how to overcome these issues?

Thank you -

Inspiron 15-N5030, Windows 7 driver help needed

I am rebuilding an Inspiron 15-N5030 Laptop with windows 7. It had Windows 10 but it fell over and crashed. Not all the drivers are installed and I can't find the driver page, I've put in the tag number but all it gives me is a Bios and a SATA update, where are the drivers for this. I do not have a disk that came with it. Where are the drivers?

Dell XPS 8920 upgrading with Samsung 950 EVO

$

I'm considering about eventually upgrading and install an Samsung 250 GB 950 EVO.

I've got the xps8920-version with a 32GB SandiskZ400 cachedisk and as I assume having Intel chipset Z270 and not H270 (which is the one that support Intel Smart Response Tech.)

I've looked in here in the forum and found another thread being into the actual M2-slot on this version, and where the cache is installed now. Whether this has a connection only for Sata3 or if it is NVMe?! I also read from that thread (from this spring) that there was some issues getting the similar Samsung to actually work and get it all to boot correctly?!

Possibly there's been some updates since in bios etc vs then?!

Otherwise I assume I will have to install the ssd-card through an adapter over the PCIe-busx4 location?!

I would also like to have my OS W10 and all other programs on there as well, like Photoshop Elements and some games etc, and use the 2TB hdd for files and storage.

If I install over the PCIe, if not possible at all over the m2-connection on the motherboard, can I still be using the 32GB cache and let it be there? Could perhaps help speedup at rendering photos?!

Anyone been doing this and having some experience (cloning the hdd, or re-install W10 etc)?

Thanks!

Hello. Can someone tell me how to check if my laptop came with Microsoft Office? When i received my laptop just a couple of weeks back, i was told it came with Microsoft Office. However if i open it, it tells me to either Buy, Activate or Try  Is it possible to try and check to see if it really came with the laptop or not? I would like to try and sort this out. Thanks in advance.

New Hard Drive Dell Inspiron B120

Good Day,

Dell Inspiron B120

Service Tag: G4HBD81

Laptop is used for Media storage etc.

The hard drive died.

I am trying to build an Unattended install XP sp3 CD.

Perhaps I should try Win 7 but I do not know if it is compatible.

I would like to avoid the “activate” and “registrtion” process.

The Dell OS Recovery Tool cannot find the OS.

I cannot get the XP Product Key used for the original Installation.

Hard Drive died. “Read Fail” on Boot.

I also cannot get the Product ID.

Nor can I get the “OEMBIOS” and “WPA” or “winnt.sif” files.

Finally, do you recommend NTFS or FAT32?

Can you help?

Thank you,

Joe
