Acer desktop computer: Activation of Windows 10

I have upgraded to Windows 10 a few days ago, and almost everything seems as it should on my computer. I currently feel stupid, stupid, stupid when it comes to changes in the life of my computer!  I see an image faded in the lower right of my readings of thet Office: "Activate Windows - go into settings to activate Windows»

What is the process for when 10 Windows is already installed? I have found where to activate Windows and clicked on activate and I like that: "Windows cannot activate now. "Later still."

What I do now and why? Wishing that I had slept with Windows 7...

Hello

When making a place in the upgrade, activation of W7 and W8 is automatic.  You will get a generic license key assigned to W10.  If you try to perform a clean install first, then activation will be not automatic and so you will have a W10 full license key. And it's annoying.

Thanks for posting on the forum.

    Hello

    A manufacturer of recovery disc is designed for a particular brand and computer model; they are not interchangeable.

    Here is the link to order the Acer recovery disks:

    http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

    And if the Acer never included a drive to purchase, you should have a recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista to how it was when new.

    With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the process of recovery back to new condition.

    My Acer desktop computer (about 1 year) X1420G-U5832 ignores the letters when typing. He got one so bad that I'm ready to throw on this computer and try again. I replaced the acer with a logitech keyboard and it does the same thing. Is there a cure for this. Help, please!

    Hello

    Microsoft prohibits any aid granted for passwords forgotten here.

    If you have forgotten your password, how can I connect normally to use your desktop computer?

    Are you sure that this request for password is not not to do with the Acer recovery process?

    You can read this information:

    "Some Acer models have a default password that you use to start the process of recovery from the recovery Partition 'hidden'.

    Usually press you Alt + F10 at startup to start the process of relocation and Acer default password should be 6 zeros, unless someone has changed.

    If not, give Acer a phone call. »

  • Touchsmart 320 computer: Activation of Windows 7 after the replacement of the motherboard

    After that my PC has failed because the motherboard has been damaged by an electric shock, I replaced the motherboard in a Service of HP to the Chile. When I got back my PC it works fine, but after 1 week, it begins to show a message that says I need activate Windows 7. When I try to activate, it asks me the product key, but there is no place to find. After a few days it will lock up and I could ' t use more. I pick up the PC with recovery system and works very well the first days but again is asking me to activate Windows 7. Where can I get activation key for my Windows 7 original product? I want to continue to use my PC normally.

    Thank you.

    Greetings,

    There should be a Microsoft COA 25 character sticker attached to your system.

    Try the product on the certificate of Authenticity number.

    You will need to contact HP for the service if there is no COA sticker.

    It seems that HP did not tattoo the BIOS on the new motherboard with the correct information to auto activate the operating system.

    See you soon!

  • HP Slimline 450 desktop computer - a60n: "prepare windows."

    Hello

    I bought the HP Slimline Office 450 - a60n last month.  He has often used to freezing. I downloaded Office 365, then Windows 10 and have a 3 TB Seagate drive and backup HD.  When the PC has frozen it cannot close by the Task Manager and I had to turn the PC off by avoiding the normal shutdown procedure.  I've been ripping of CD and recently it started to freeze in iTunes as well as on Google Chrome.  The PC was fine this morning with a gel, but returned upward again normally.  I went out for a few hours and turned the PC on to find the "prepare windows" message to arrive.  After a few moments the windows screen came, but everything changed.  He was missing a lot and what icons were left returned to the original size.  Office has dissappeared as had my photos and documents. The PC freezes if I try to restore the files.  "Preparation of windows" message every time and some work I did between start-ups is lost.  It's square. Please can someone help me because my computer knowledge is low. Thank you.

    Hi Sargoza,

    Thank you for picking me up in it.  I apologize for the delay in answering this is only because I was only using my nephew more in computer science that we could work on it yesterday.  We had the impression to have obtained, by trial and error with only a few minor questions functionally remaining.  If we have the problem once again, we can miss all the - ass-in-bag that we went down.

    The only way we could get this to work for him was the creation of an administrator with full administrator access privileges account and then create a new user account for the PC.  To transfer only the most important things through like photos, documents, music, etc. and the items selected in the folder of the Aps.  We believe that the problem was corruption or conflict within the folder of the Aps.  I asked the removal of all the Aps that I am unlikely to use (Wintangent was an I wasn't happy) and he also removed Trusteer? because research, he found that this approach had caused some problems with crashing.  It of early days but no crashes yet.

    We noticed that the backup drive Seagate doesn't seem to be back up whenever the PC was the 10 Windows, but don't come back for me since September 15. It is a continuous backup and so we re-set the back-up and if everything goes well on the next day or so I'll be able to see if this is working properly now.

    It is difficult to transfer contact in Outlook through addresses, but all my mail is held on the server of my ISP and came home once that Outlook has been reconfigured. I now also use the Onedrive and copied through all the precious objects as that contained in addition to rear up nicely with the help of 'SeaTools' would indicate that the Seagate drive is functioing normally.

    So thank you once again for taking the time to help me, I hope situation now resolved.

  • HP Pavilion desktop computer: upgrade to Windows 10 - Start Menu disappeared

    I updated July 29 to 10 Windows using the Windows Media authoring tool.  I was very happy with the new system, everything was working fine until 2 days ago the Start Menu disappeared.  I looked for solutions, as it seems a common phenomenon and Microsoft are aware and working on a fix (this problem occurred with a previous version).  The most popular and apparently successful solution is:

    Open Windows PowerShell (run as administrator) the Task Manager (as a new task) and enter:

    Get-AppxPackage | % {Add-AppxPackage - DisableDevelopmentMode-register "$($_.)} {"InstallLocation) \AppxManifest.xml"}

    This has not worked for me.  After much trial and error I havefound change affected 'Standard' to 'Administrator' account and restart work.  Long term, however.  Someone at - there a better solution?

    Thank you. Unfortunately, I was one of those for whom this solution did not work.  The problem turned in my case to be caused by AdAware 9.0 that was included in the upgrade.  He was using a lot of memory and seemed to be blocking updates.  He was not enrolled in a program control panel, so I was unable to uninstall it.  I tried to replace it with the latest AdAware (currently 11.0) to save the program and then can be removed but was not able to uninstall version 9.0 or (AdAware 11.0 seems to cause problems with Windows 10).  I finally managed using Revo Uninstaller http://www.revouninstaller.com/ and find the program that even this program has no seeAdAware 9.0 installed programs.  After a complete withdrawal of all remaining files and a few reboots and allowing Windows Update to automatically install updates a backlog of orders, the Start Menu is back.  Problem solved.

    I would like to know if I can install vmware player on my laptop I got an error message saying that I didn't have something. Thank U

    For a typical host system, we recommend that you have a 1 GHz or faster processor (2 GHz recommended) and 1 GB of RAM minimum (2 GB RAM) recommended. You need to have enough memory to run the host operating system, more memory required for each guest operating system and for applications on the host and the guest.

    I'm sorry to say this, but your laptop can't run VM player. I doubt that you can install VMware Player on it. Even if you manage to it won't be of any use. Is only useful if you have more than 4 GB of RAM to execute at least one or two reviews of the virtual computer.

    If you found my answer correct/useful please close the thread by checking the appropriate response.

  • Can I use Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack (3 users) to install Windows 7 Edition home premium 64 on a desktop computer running the OEM version of Windows Vista Home Premium 32?

    My desktop system is an Acer E700 Intel Quad Core 2.4 GHz with 4 GB of RAM and 1 Gig video running Vista Home Premium OEM 32 version. I plan to upgrade the hard disk of 1 tetrabyte before upgrading the OS.  If so, how should I do this?  I have to restore the backup to disk to the new disk before update for Window 7 64?

    My second office is already running Vista Home Premium 64 so this upgrade using the family must be right before correct?  Or do I need to backup to the subject programs before moving to Win7 64?

    Thanks in advance.

    You will need to do a reformat to perform installation and you reinstall the applications.  There has never been a way to upgrade from x 86 to x 64.  You will need to do is use your x 64 media to install Windows 7 on new hard drive, use your product key on the certificate of authenticity located on the side of the Acer desktop computer.  You will always be the OEM license terms, as you install the same Windows SKU.  Product keys are interchangeable between x 86 and x 64, but you will probably need to call to activate Windows after installation - usually the Internet activation does not work on current versions of Windows using the seller great modes of action.
