Install Windows again! Assistance needed.
Install Windows again! Assistance needed.
You're facing some challenges with Adobe Premiere. It might be easier to reinstall Windows and then restore your settings rather than booting from BIOS. This approach usually resolves compatibility issues more smoothly. Let me know if you need further guidance!
You're facing a tough choice here. It seems a fresh install could be better, but it might wipe out your current settings and require more effort to reinstall drivers and updates. On the flip side, a clean Windows install could cause more problems. I’d prefer a fresh install since fixing driver issues is easier than dealing with a messy revert. Still, try to resolve the Adobe problem first. What exactly is the issue?
I support the new setup, would I need to remove what I already have or will everything just disappear? My hard drives won’t be erased automatically—they’ll require a proper wipe. The problem is that the system doesn’t launch properly and can get stuck. They suggested a fresh install since they were using my computer remotely and couldn’t resolve it.
A new setup can be carried out in two ways. The first option involves installing Windows 10 without formatting the boot disk, then placing your previous files—like Desktop, Photos, and the C drive—into a folder named windows.old. After that, you install a fresh, clean version of Windows and extract what you need from windows.old to use in the new installation. The second method requires formatting the boot disk during the initial setup; this will wipe out any existing Windows 10 files, after which Windows installs without the old folder, often needing third-party tools to recover data. With a fresh install, only the boot disk receives the OS, not your backups unless you specifically select that. Be cautious when formatting during a fresh installation since you can erase everything if you choose. You might wonder if reinstalling an entire Adobe CS instead of just Premier was worth it.
You only need drivers, games, or Adobe. Are you planning to use the BIOS boot menu or Windows settings? You’ve already removed Adobe completely, and you intend to reinstall it before doing a full Windows reinstall.
The two methods involve using your installation device—whether a flash drive, DVD, or another source. Not every one will show up in the BIOS, but what matters is selecting boot options so the OS install files load first and allow Windows to register properly. If Adobe settings weren’t removed, it’s not truly uninstalled. You should verify the C drive and confirm the Adobe folder is no longer present to ensure all links are cleared. Adobe usually leaves a trace after uninstallation, which is normal. Another point is confirming you’ve updated all Adobe programs through the updater included with the CS collection. Good luck resolving your issue!
You seem to have completed the installation steps. After reviewing the files, the Adobe folder is missing, but a Programs x86 directory contains an Adobe folder that I can’t delete for some reason. It appears I lack permission to modify it, even though I tried to adjust access and all applications were up to date through Creative Cloud.
