Details of Windows 7 - upgrade to Windows 10 question?

Separated from this thread.

-snip-

Something else to note. Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 are eligible for a free upgrade for Windows 10 in May / June. That is why its pointless to upgrade a Windows 7 system to Windows 8.1 (2 for 1 license Windows 10 licenses) or use Windows 8.1 for only 3 months. If you have a qualifying system XP or Vista for the system requirements for Windows 8.1 64 bit license is better on that. It will satisfy those who pass through the upgrade only...

Have this Windows 7 Ultimate detail here, a gift 74 x shrinkwrapped earlier.

Suppose that must be installed first to get a license of Windows 10. He takes Microsoft server will check which version / key has been activated.

Have this Windows 7 Ultimate retail here 74 x shrinkwrapped... Suppose that must be installed first to get a license of Windows 10

  • HP 8460p SSD Upgrade & Installation of Windows 8 question

    Hello

    I am trying to install Windows 8 Pro (new installation) on my laptop. In addition, I purchased a new SSD (Adata S510) and placed in my notebook. Updated my BIOS to F.28 to F.29 firmware. SSD is set to AHCI.

    In the installation dialog box, windows asks me for the installation partition. I see the hard drive and can chose him. But installing Windows tells me I can't install Windows on hdd0, partition 1.

    Detailed error message (translated from the German, English):... .the material possibly does not support booting with this device. Make sure that the controller is enabled in the BIOS...

    So, where is my problem? My BIOS does not support the SSD or what?

    Thank you

    I was able to get an Intel SSD for tests. Works like a charm. So the Adata SSD was the problem.

    Thank you

  • Help please - Windows update - restart issues (and upgrade to Windows 10 questions?)

    Hello

    I wanted to switch to Windows 10 but got stuck on the "start download" page, as have other users.

    Looking through the other questions on this site, I have seen that Windows update may need to complete before you start with Windows 10.

    I had not run windows update for a long time I thought that would mean Windows 10 would install and I wasn't ready for this, but now I am.

    Then I ran windows update and more than 150 updates have been installed.

    However, he now says:

    "Restart your computer to install important updates

    Windows cannot update services and important files while the system uses them.  Save... "

    I rebooted, shut down, rebooted several times, but this message continues to appear in the Windows Update window.

    Still, the update of Windows 10 stuck initially download.

    I ran disk cleanup in safe mode, as well as normal and tried to restart, but it did not help.  I tried the troubleshooting windows update option, but this did not help.

    I used two tools, the Microsoft FixIt who did not help and a WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.diagcab file which allows to find the two errors and saying: he fixed them, but this still does not work, IE always ask me to restart and Windows 10 gets stuck to download from.

    The two problems it finds are listed as:

    "Windows Update error 0 x 80070005(2016-05-30-T-08_49_44P)" and is listed as fixed

    "Problems install the latest updates" and is considered to be fixed.

    I am at my wits end and would be really grateful for the help.

    If this becomes technical, please help me in using a step by step method or referring to one for me.

    I have a laptop of Toshiba Windows 7 64-bit.

    Thanks in advance

    EDIT: I ran the above diagnostic tool and the error was fixed progresses over time, that is to say it is correct to say 09:03 now...  Also, to revise accordingly the so-called updates installed, many of them, but not all, have the status of a failed.

    What to do about all this?

    I suggest you to download the tool for creating Windows Media 10 ISO and make a place in upgrade.

  • Upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8 question

    I bought a 8 upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate E winodws upgrade disc and when I run the Setup from the disk, it gives me the error message;

    You cannot install an intermediate version on an no intermediate version with the installer.
    How can I fix?

    This has not worked for me either.

    Well, you'll just have to do a custom installation. It will take you to reinstall hardware drivers and applications.

    Boot from the DVD Windows 8
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 8 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Pavilion G6: Wifi adapter upgrade Windows 10 questions

    I tried seriously to all solutions possible and still nothing.  Not only the solution that has been proposed to this topic on the forum like many others in other Web sites, as in the windows and mediatek/ralink and same forum forum on youtube and still nothing, I can't really solve this problem and I'm trying to ruin out of range of patience...

    I'll probably go back to 8.1 Windows because all solutions have failed...

    If someone knows a solution diferent/news please reply!

    My PC is a HP Pavilion G6

    My Wi - Fi adapter is a Ralink RT3290 802, and pilots are already updated.

    Kind regards.

    Hello:

    Since I know not what you have tried, or one of the hundreds of books of g6 model you have (if they extend over several years), the only suggestion I can offer would be to try the W10 Ralink WLAN driver.

    OPERATING SYSTEM (S):
    Microsoft Windows 10 32
    Microsoft Windows 10 64

    LANGUAGE (S): Global

    SUPPORTED DEVICES:
    802.11n wireless PCI Express Card LAN Adapter
    MediaTek MT7630E 802.11bgn Wi - Fi adapter
    RALink RT3090 WiFi 802.11b/g/n adapt
    Wi - Fi 802.11b/g/n Ralink RT3290 adapter
    WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n Ralink RT3592 adapter
    RALink WiFi 802.11b/g/n RT5390 adapt
    RALink WiFi 802.11b/g/n RT5390R adapt

    CORRECTIONS:
    -Provides the initial version of Windows 10 support WHQL driver.

    FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp71501-72000/sp71571.exe

    If the driver above does not work, the most likely problem is the hardware revision RT3090 of the card you have is probably too old to run W10.

    Only the last model rt3090 made in the last two years will take place W10.

  • I need to change my details of window mail host

    I typed in an invalid address for my Windows mail e-mail program & I need to change what I can send emails directly on Web sites. Where to find the info on the host & server my pc uses? I have no modem & just use wifi places.

    You need an ISP (Internet Service Provider) to configure Windows Mail to send emails to craigslist, etc.

    Or if you want to use Yahoo and Windows Mail, you must PAY version of Yahoo Mail PLUS for POP3.

    http://www.vista4beginners.com/Windows-Mail-Yahoo-mail-plus

    Set up Windows Mail to connect to Yahoo Mail Plus

    You can use Yahoo or Hotmail for web based email on the hotspots.

    Here is general information about how you would normally define Windows Mail, if you have an ISP (Internet Service Provider): http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Windows-mail-setting-up-an-account-from-start-to-finish

    And you can open Windows Mail > tools > account > your account > properties > change for servers

    http://www.SimpleHelp.NET/2007/02/07/a-beginners-guide-to-setting-up-Windows-Mail/

    Link above has an easy to follow Guide to set up Windows Mail.

    Contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider).

    They offer your broad band/Dial-up connection.

    Ask them to:

    username
    password for your service account to wide band/Dial-Up with them

    Server of incoming POP3 mail
    outgoing mail SMTP server

    The above information is required to set up Windows Mail.

    ISPS are usually happy to help you set up your email account.

    See you soon.

  • Need details on Windows drivers

    Original title: drivers

    That said it is Microsoft Certified, is it good or what?     Windows 7 Driver Downloads

    On Windows 7 drivers:
    This page talks about Windows 7 drivers and how to identify and download them. This also explains the importance of updating your drivers and some of the challenges with Windows 7 drivers update. Note: You can automatically download Windows 7 drivers by downloading the Driver Update Utility below.

    Recommends: Download drivers update utility to identify the Windows 7 drivers missing or obsolete.

    Not really sure what you're asking, but Microsoft Certified driver have been tested and is accepted as being compliant and no problems known.

    A developer of equipment is not required to submit test pilots, but by default, Windows will block the uncertified driver installation while the earlier version just warn you that they are not tested.

    You do not explain what Driver Update Utility you talk, some hardware manufacturers provide a monitoring package that will check that there are no newer drivers available for their device. It's a moot point if it's always a good idea or if you should update only when YOU decide that it is necessary.

    What you should avoid always is commercial research of 3rd party driver because they often get it wrong.

    I met other threads that directed me to the updates for windows 8. I installed everything I could find for windows 8.

    However, the following issues still remain.

    7 Fn + PrtSc doesn't work

    8 Bluetooth remains on all the time with no way to disable the right click. Yesterday I downloaded an update through the update of the system for the bluetooth, but the problem remains.

    9 Thinkvantage does nothing.

    Could someone help me identify what might cause these problems and how I could find a solution for the same?
