Yes, it is! For the general public and it is released of the Windows 10 Technical Preview for people to test it and send Microsoft feedbacks for what they want the tech giant to change about the OS.

Try changing the language first.

1. Open Regional and Language Options
by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel , clicking Clock, Language, and Region , and then
clicking Regional and Language Options .
2. Click the Keyboards and Languages tab.
3. Under Display language, choose a language from the list, and then click OK .

If it doesn't have English then you'll have to install it.

1. Open Regional and Language Options by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel , clicking Clock, Language, and Region , and then clicking Regional and Language Options .
2. Click the Keyboards and Languages tab.
3. Under Display Language , click Install/uninstall languages , and then follow the steps. Administrator If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

How can locate those things when they are written in German language.

Use the icons or translate the English to German on your phone you'll know what it is referring to. e.g. control panel = Schalttafel

disable any update such as windows updates and other updates. for example some software are programmed to
install periodic update such as hp update assistance and many more. you'd be glad you did.

I'd advise you to google your operating system type, follow by windows installer.
A long term solution is to install windows update. If you choose to install windows update ensure
that your modem is topped up. it does consume a lots of megabytes

I would assume that the computer is on ?

What type of storage device is this, an
SD or Gigabytes/terabytes hard drive ?

Did you get any found new hardware/installing drivers
message, when it was connected ?


Are the USB ports working ? connect another device to
find out if all the usb ports does work.

Re-enable the UAC as a temporary measure. I use Windows 8.1 and the UAC is not so annoying. Leave it on AFAIC.

Please help.

Very likely you won't be able to, that HDD is showing signs of physical damage to the read heads and/or plates. Just get a new one.

You maybe trying to install software that can not run on your system. Check the system requirements for the software again and verify that your system can meet the requirements.
