It has been rewritten so that it can run not only on desktops and laptops, but also on tablet PCs in a much more intuitive way than before. We previously wrote how Windows 7 would be very different from Windows XP and could take some time for new users to become acclimated. Well, Windows 8 is an even bigger change.

We always recommend you start by updating your system to the latest available system software. Nonetheless, here are the top PS5 problems (and fixes) encountered by owners to date. Intermittent Drive Noise While this is not a bug or a problem that Sony has acknowledged, multiple PS5 owners (ourselves included) have experienced the PS5’s BluRay drive spinning up at seemingly random times as well as at startup. As far as we can tell the PS5 is checking for a disc at intervals, so it’s not something that Sony is likely to address....

It does all of this without deleting any of your data. You can also use it to enable or disable partition flags such as boot and hidden....
