Windows is the name of the operating system released by Microsoft. If you want to be a gamer, you'll likely be using Windows, though Linux, mainly Ubuntu, may start to become a gaming powerhouse in late 2012 and during 2013.
Select "No to All"
While copying files in Microsoft Windows you might be asked whether you want to replace an existing file or folder. You will be given four options: Yes, Yes to All, No, and Cancel. Oddly, No to All is missing.
Selecting No to All is extremely simple. Hold down the Shift key and select No.
Reduce the size of WinSxS folder
- Note: this is for Windows 7 users who installed the Service Pack updates themselves. If your system came with SP1 already installed, this won't do anything when you run it.
You can reduce the Microsoft Windows 7 WinSxS folder's size by about 3GB, on average. The process is extremely simple.
Enter the Command Prompt: Winkey+R > cmd.exe. If you have UAC enabled, or don't know what that means, make sure you're using Command Prompt with Administrator privileges Start>Programs>Accessories, right click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
Enter dism /online /cleanup-image /spsuperseded and hit enter.
Let it run and you're done!
