How to upgrade Win 7 32 bit to Win 10 64 Bit for Free after 29 July 2016?

How to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to Windows 10 64 Bit for Free after 29 July 2016?

Problems:

    - Free Win10 upgrade is actually closed

    - 32 Bit to 64 Bit is never a provided upgrade function from Microsoft

    - If you don t want to upgrade to 64 bit - just use the Microsoft page for "assistive technologies", which still 

      provides the FREE upgrade to Win10

      https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/windows10upgrade

Solution:

-   Have a  (min) 4 GB USB stick ready

-   Download Product Key Viewer and write down product key:    
     http://www.chip.de/downloads/Windows-Product-Key-Viewer_58663752.html

-   Download ISO file to HD (function "bootable USB" will not work):
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/

-   Download old "bootable USB from ISO" tool from Microsoft:      
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/windows-usb-dvd-download-tool#installation

-   Run this tool and select ISO from HD to create bootable USB stick

-   Reboot PC which you will update and press F2 for Bios setup

-   Goto Boot Setup and move USB to first position

-   Plug prepared USB stick and save / reboot

-   Enter Key from Key Viewer

-   keep going and select "Custom Setup" (everything will be deleted)

-   Chose Keyboard / Language

-   Windows will start setup and count up from 0% to 100%

-   IMPORTANT: when on 100% remove USB stick before Windows is rebooting -
    otherwise installation will loop  ;-)

-   Keep going with the rest of the set-up (which is very easy and straight forward)

-   ENJOY

Comparison between free backup tools (especially Synchronization between NAS and external HD on a PC automatically)

Comparison between free backup tools (especially Synchronization between NAS and external HD on a PC)

1. Microsoft SyncToy (32 Bit)
   
• Link: http://www.chip.de/downloads/Microsoft-SyncToy-32-Bit_16328203.html
• Pro: 
• supports net drives like NAS
• nice gui with great option - everything is there - even a contribute option, which means 'update' left to right with no deletes.
• Con
• no built in scheduler
• Get stuck after a few minutes even with deselected system and hidden files
• verdict
• completely useless
2. FreeFileSync 
   
• Link:  
• http://www.chip.de/downloads/FreeFileSync_38472922.html
• https://sourceforge.net/projects/freefilesync/
• Pro
• Very nice and informative GUI (incl. 'time remaining' which is very rare)
• Very reliable
• Errors (like file in use) can be selected as to be ignored and backup will continue
• Very low memory and cpu consumption 
• Pause function (very rare!)
• Con
• comes with open candy / Malware which has to be deselected on every install and update 
• No built in scheduler
• cannot read files in use (but Chip.de states it should be possible - I'll have to check)
• Verdict
• Best free sync tool if the open candy threat doesn't bother you
3.  "Create Synchronicity"
   
• Link: http://www.chip.de/downloads/Create-Synchronicity_55667266.html
• Pro: 
• Supports net drives
• all needed options available
• no adware
• Con:
• very slow
• almost no runtime information
• path length limited to 260 char which is a 'killer' 
• Verdict:
• NO GO because of the limitation in path lenght
4. Synchredible 

• Link: 
• ttp://www.chip.de/downloads/Synchredible_14587027.html
• Pro:
• Nice GUI, Fest, Reliable
• Really free
• Con:
• Not much runtime information - no estimated time
• No easy setup - quite complex and somehow confusing
• Verdict

• Very stable
• Simulation mode
• 'simple' and 'expert' mode
• Built in scheduler
• Con
• No support for locked files in free version
• No pause function
• No incremental backups
• Verdict
• no incremental backup = NOGO
6. Fbackup 6.1

• Copy of files in use for about 16 USD possible
• One of the easiest setups
• Multiple folders / drives selectable in only one profile / batch
• e-mail notification
• Con
• no copy of files in use in free version
• Not much runtime info (after 4 hours (!!!) still just saying 'reading' and 0%)
• ad after every run will be displayed
• Verdict
• If it would work - functions would be great
8. Personal Backup 5
   
• Link:
• http://www.chip.de/downloads/Personal-Backup_13007706.html
• Pro:
• has all the functions for free - even scheduler
• Con
• does not copy everything. needs up to 20 reruns to catch everything

• Pro
• Con
• Verdict
10. ??????????
• Link
• Pro
• Con
• Verdict

Final recommendation

• There's no perfect free backup tool available and even lots of people are complaining about paid applications like Backup4All. Best results will be probably achieved by FreeFileSync, but be careful to deselect OpenCandy software and you have to use create a batch job trigger that with the windows scheduler to run every night

How to limit chache size in Opera and Chrome Browser and specify Cache Directory?

How to limit chache size in Opera and Chrome Browser?

Goto properties of Chrome / Opera program icon (right click):



Then edit line command on 'target' as described below:



"--disk-cache-size=50000000"

e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\launcher.exe" --disk-cache-size=50000000

Also the directory can be specified:

"...chrome.exe" --disk-cache-dir="CACHE_DIR" --disk-cache-size=N
