• How can I remove Windows anytime upgrade from Win 7

  My windows 7 Home premium on my laptop has windows anytime upgrade and I want to get off the computer completely. I don't want to simply disable it or hide it, I want it on the hard drive. I found instructions online for windows vista, but I don't think it will work on windows 7, or will it? I have a HP laptop.

  This is the link I foumd to remove a vista on a Lenovo system:

  http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/document.do?sitestyle=Lenovo&lndocid=SF07-d0

  On the opening menu I click with the right button on the shortcut and open the location of the file and found 3 files with updated at any time under the name and tried to remove them manually, but got an error message that I don't have the rights to do so. The solution was to try again or cancel and try again once does not work. Yet, I'm not sure that just delete these 3 files might get rid of him anyway.

  Is there a way to do this?

  Thank you

  Please understand that shortcut link Windows Anytime Upgrade using all of the system resources. Its simply a mechanism of the operating system used to unlock the features of a higher edition. Its as you say windows to grow hair, it grows as long as provide you the key, is not as the "grown up" hair was there all along to take disk space or use of resources.

  If you look at an installation of Windows 7 Home Premium, its usually about 6 GBs, when you use the upgrade to upgrade to a higher edition like ultimate, Express size increases to 10 GB, which means basically, he never used any extra space at the beginning.

  Thank you

  Hi voodoo2010,
  
  Temporarily disable any security software and that you try to upgrade, follow the steps mentioned below
   
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software
   
  Note: Allow all security software after you perform the troubleshooting steps.
   
  If you have a copy of Windows 7 Home Edition premium simply use the product as an anytime upgrade key. No disc required if you do it this way. You can use the button once for this upgrade as well.
   
  A similar issue has been discussed here. Disabling security software before performing whenever he helps me to upgrade.
  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7install/thread/c2870704-558d-41c9-9069-db6115c14788

  Now in the rare event that your Windows Anytime Upgrade does not go through smoothly, here's what troubleshooting steps you can try:

  1 restart the computer for all pending operations, as appropriate.
  2 see the following log files. journal entries can give you an idea why the WAU failed.
  -%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Windows at any time Upgrade\upgrade.log
  -%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Windows at any time Upgrade\upgrade_dism.log
  -%SystemRoot%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log file
  -%SystemRoot%\Logs\CBS\CBS.persist.log file

  I suggest you run chkdsk/r. It locates bad sectors and recovers readable information. / r includes the functionality of / f, with the additional analysis of physical disk errors.

  Windows 7 includes a tool called CHKDSK disk that is similar to the "scandisk" in older versions of Windows to audit tool. This application scans your hard drives for errors such as the lost areas, bad sectors, and corruption.

  You can run CHKDSK using two methods (the first being the easiest):

  Graphic Interface method:

  Open the computer option in the start menu, which allows to display all the available drives to scan on your PC:

  Then, right click on the drive you want to check for errors, and then select Properties :

  Now click on the menu Tools , then check now in the error checking section:

  You have several options within the check disk tool. It is always recommended to you leave the box "automatically fix file system errors" ticked, as this repair and problems encountered. If you want a deeper analysis, check "search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors". This second option takes more time, but you have to do if you suspect a disk problem. Once you are set up, click Start :
  If you try to check a disk that is currently in use, you will receive a message asking if you want to schedule a scan. Accepting this detection is the next time you reboot your PC:

  The command prompt method:

  Alternatively, you can use the command prompt to perform analysis on a drive letter of your choice by running "chkdsk x:" where x is the letter of your drive. Manual scan options are:

  • /F fixes errors on the disk.
  • /V FAT/FAT32: displays the full path and name of every file on the disk. On NTFS: Displays the eventual cleanup messages.
  • /R Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information (implies / f).
  • L:size NTFS only: changes the size of the log file for the number specified in kilobytes. If the size is not specified, displays the current size.
  • /X force the volume to unmount it first if necessary. All open handles to the volume would then be invalid (implies / f).
  • /I NTFS only: performs a less vigorous check of index entries.
  • /C NTFS only: skips checking of cycles within the folder structure.
  • /B NTFS only: Re-evaluates bad clusters on the volume (implies / r)

  "CHKDSK x: /F /R" could perform a full scan (including bad sectors) and an attempt to remedy.
  
  Warning of CHKDSK

  Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost

  All information about chkdsk, see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730714%28WS.10%29.aspx
