2710 XPS (mid-2012) Core i7: upgrade to Windows 10 Professional

Hello

I wonder if anyone with XPS 2710 (mid-2012) Core i7 has successfully upgraded to Windows 10 professional?

If so, it would be useful to know how long the Windows 10 Professional upgrade works and if the hits include a clean install.

Would appreciate any further feedback/suggestion on the upgrade of this model.

Thank you.

As far as I KNOW, anyone who could save a 2710 XP from Win 10 black screen of death, returned to their old version of Windows. So even if they were able to recover, they don't run win 10.

If you need to win 10, you can sell this PC with Win 8.1 and not risk trying to upgrade. You get at least a few $$ out of a nice working system.  If you upgrade to Win 10 and it fails...

    This problem started about 10 days when I used the CD of XP Professional to correct a problem. My computer is a Dell Dimension 5100 and I have two CDs that were sent to me - Dell - Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP 3 and Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Version 2005 with update Rollup 2.

    Are you trying to connect wireless or ethernet cable? Have you checked your connections are enabled? If you use the wireless option, you use the hp or windows connection manager?

    I sugest you try to connect with an ethernet cable and go to the network connection in Control Panel and check if your local connection is enabled. If you connect through a router has the DHCP settings.

    If you use the wireless you will need to enter the connection as a new SSID and key details

  • The upgrade to Windows 7 Professional Windows and not Windows 8?

    I have Windows 7 on my computer. I bought an upgrade to Windows 7 Professional last year. When I try to update I get sent to Windows 8 upgrade. How can I get Windows 7 to Windows 7 Professional without buying an upgrade of Windows 8?

    Is the Professional Windows 7, upgrade or an Express upgrade?

    The first thing you need to do is to get your key to Windows 7 Professional upgrade Express:
     
    An e-mail containing your product key will be sent to the e-mail address associated with your Windows Live ID account or e-mail address you provided if you ignored the account configuration. Note: If you use an email tool or spam blocker spam filter, be sure that you can receive e-mail messages from microsoft.com.
     
    What happens if I lose my product key?
     
    If you lose your product key, you can return to

    www.Windows7.com/GetKey and sign in using the "Sign In" link in the upper right of the page. This will allow to recover your product key if you have established your account with your Windows Live ID. If you do not configure a Windows Live ID account initially there is no record of your online product key. Check your e-mail since it is the only trace of your product key.
     
     
     
    or

    Here are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:

    and RockXP: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4138.html which has additional features.

    The next thing you need to do is to ensure that your data is backed up:

    -------------------
     
    The next thing you need to do is to reinstall the base license that you upgraded, Windows 7 Starter Edition or Home Premium.
     
    If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7:
     
    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
     
     
     
    -Samsung uses ESC on most of its systems
     
    -HP use F9 on most of its systems
     
    -Fujitsu uses F12 on most of its systems
     
    -Acer use F12 on most of its systems, but often you need to go into BIOS to allow

    -Dell uses F12
     
     
     
    In general, look at the screen during the POST for a tip for what is possible.
     
     
     
    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

  • Upgrade to Windows 7 Professional to Windows 7 Home System Builder

    Hello

    If I buy Windows 7 Home premium system builder version I'll be able to upgrade to windows 7 Professional?

    In essence, this:
    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16832116986

    To do this:
    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/PD/ProductID.216644200/flyout.true

    It will be a problem or it is not still possible?

    I also read soemwhere that if you change any hardware on your computer, the operating system will say that the license becomes invalid, is this true?

    Yes, you will be able to use a full or upgrade version license retail or upgrade Express (Windows 7 Professional) to upgrade Express of Windows 7 Home Premium (OEM System Builder).

    If you make significant changes to the computer such as changing your motherboard, this would automatically cancel the OEM Windows 7 Home Premium, in addition to the upgrade version of Windows 7 Professional. Which means, if you do not want to make significant changes to your computer in the future, you will need to purchase a full version of Windows 7 Professional.

  • XPS 13 (9343) - unable to upgrade to Windows 10 - error 0xC1900101 0 x 30018

    I have a brand new 13 XPS, 9343 model with i7 processor and 512 GB SSD. I'm still within the period of 14 days, and I'm now seriously returning. I've never known such a load of nonsense trying to install any other piece of software.

    So far, and after many attempts, I was completely unable to upgrade to Windows 10. The first thing I did was to install all the Windows updates available for 8.1 (there were 79 of them), and immediately after that I started the saga to install Win10. Nothing else has been done to the laptop - no questionable software or USB devices (except the USB boot if necessary). It is in a State of cleanliness.

    -After the download via Windows Update, the installation procedure is INCREDIBLY slow (for example, it takes 36 HOURS to reach 42% completion - and at this point, it hits the error message). What the heck can he do?

    -J' also tried to create a bootable USB drive via the media creation tool. If I boot from the USB key and perform a "clean" installation, it works perfectly: it takes about 8 minutes total (which highlights how ridiculous the 36 hours). However, because it is a clean installation and not an 'upgrade', I find myself with a non-activated version of Windows 10 and I am asked to pay £99.99, I don't intend to do. I paid for the laptop on the understanding, he would get a FREE upgrade to Win10!

    -J' also tried using the USB key (but not the start of it) to perform the upgrade in place - this strikes the same mistake as Windows Update (and taking so long)

    -J' tried to uninstall all antivirus software, and disable all wireless/bluetooth devices before performing the upgrade - nothing of this aid. Because need me 36 HOURS per attempt, it is really not acceptable to try disabling things randomly in the vain hope that it might work correctly.

    When trying to upgrade (i.e. not), I hit an error message "Windows Setup cannot set up Windows on your hardware" or similar. During the recovery after the failure, tool configuration gives the 0xC1900101 error code 0 x 30018 and says it failed in operation 'FIRST_BOOT', the phase SYSPREP. Just make this error message cost me 36 hours of waiting (welcome to the future!), then it would be really helpful if someone could give me a definitive answer on what makes...

    Help, please! Auuughhh
