• 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.

• 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.

• HD is dead on my Dell Inspiron XP SP3 transferred old 4Yr no external HD files. How to move files to my new computer which has Windows 7.

  I just bought a new Inspiron desktop computer that has Windows 7 on it. Many old computer files have been corrupted, however, I was able to save many audio, video, Real Player files, PDF and photo.  I exported my FireFox bookmarks to HTML for the external hard drive.

  I can't understand how to transfer all the information from my external hard drive to the new computer with Windows 7. My level of computer knowledge is advanced beginner. I'm sorry to ask such a simple question I minor dyslexia. However the video, I look at all speaks to move from one computer to another and downloading transfer program.

  Also, I can't put music in my music files, however, once I know how to transfer to my new Win 7 computer where would I put my Real Player downloads, Favorites Fire Fox, so they find themselves in the right place. I tried the Itunes file to transfer from the external hard drive to the new computer where I had downloaded Itunes and it did not work.

  I appreciate any assistance.

  Thank you

  You can use the copy / paste command to copy your files from the external hard drive to the folders such as Documents, pictures, videos in Windows 7.

  When you copy and paste a file, you make a copy of the original file that you can then modify independently of the original file. If you copy and paste a file to a different location on your computer, it's a good idea to give it a different name, so that you'll remember which file is new and which file is the original.

  To copy and paste a file:

  1. Open the location that contains the file you want to copy.

  2. Right click on the file and then click on copy.

  3. Open the location where you want to store the copy.

  4. Right-click on an empty space within the location and then click on paste. The copy of the original file is now stored in the new location.

  5. Select multiple files or folders

     There are several ways to select multiple files or folders.

     • To select a consecutive group of files or folders, click the first item, press on and hold down the SHIFT key and then click the last item.

     • To select multiple files or folders that are near each other, drag the mouse pointer to create a selection around the outside of all the items you want to include.

     • To select nonconsecutive files and folders, press on and hold down the CTRL key and then click each item you want to select.

     • To select all files or folders in a window, the tool bar, click on organize, and then click Select all. If you want to exclude one or more items of your choice, press on and hold down the Ctrl key and then click on the items.

• Pavilion Elite HPE 450 t PC: desktop computer will not be updated for windows 7 64, Microsoft tried without success.

  I have a PC Pavilion Elite HPE 450 t, and a few months ago he ceased to accept automatic updates from Microsoft downloads.

  I tried to use the tools that Microsoft has nothing helped.

  Some time after, my Norton Security software security suite failed and wouldn't charge.  Norton failed to find a solution.  I guess it must do something with the heavy backlog of unloaded updates.

  ? Is it possible to load windows 10 on win 7?

  I got my PC tested for viruses, root kits and it is clean, but updates are still not loading.

  Honestly, I'd appreciate any help that you folk can provide.  Thanks in advance

  Hi there @LROSZKOW,

  I hope you find your experience of positive Support Forum! It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that you have had problems with the updates of Windows and want to know if you can upgrade to Windows 10. I'm happy to help you with this.

  Reading the questions you have described in your current system that you cannot upgrade to Windows 10, using the normal method of free upgrade. Your system should have the option available from a previous update of Windows, as the free update is delivered via Windows update. If you have a Windows 7 or 8.1 product key, then you could do a clean install of Windows 10 and use this key to activate your Windows 10 free documents. Of course, you want to first make a backup of your data.

  Another option would be to try to load the original image from the desktop computer, and then try to update again by using Windows Update. This assumes you have a working recovery partition or recovery media. Computers HP - performing a recovery of system HP (Windows 7)  But to protect your data, you want to make a first backup as I mentioned.

  Please let me know if it works for you and if it does not solve your problem, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.

  Windows 8 randomly and often freezes a new HP desktop computer

  Having recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8 pro with my new (four months) HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1260 PC, frequently and randomly freezes and I have to reboot to recover my computer. I tried several of the HP help steps I found on the Internet such as: search for the latest updates of Windows 8 with my computer HP showing that it is up-to-date with automatic updates Windows 8 Alt F4 to close the program that is frozen with nothing happens from frozen computer and Ctrl + SHIFT + ESC to open the Manager tasks and nothing happens and the HP computer remains frozen which includes the loss of control of the mouse.

  For the duration of four months prior to the upgrade of Windows 8 pro, I never had this problem with Windows 7.

  If you have a third party anti virus on your computer, you would probably have to uninstall.

• P7-1299cb: no sound for desktop computer after update to windows 10

  I have a desktop computer that used to run windows 7 and finally decided to upgrade to windows 10.  Update had no problems, but I have no sound.  I tried to update the driver through windows update and HP support assistant, both did not acknowledge the problem

  Windows update, I get the following message: IDT - Audio Device - IDT High Definition Audio CODEC - error 0x8007001f

  Please any advice would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello:

  The page sheet product indicates that your PC came with W7 64 bit.

  I can tell you that there is no audio driver W10 32 bit.

  If you have inadvertently posted the wrong bit version, see if this W10 64-bit IDT audio driver works...

  This package provides the Tempo IDT High Definition Audio Driver for assumption of office models that are running a supported operating system.

  File name: sp71717.exe

  Otherwise, there is a workaround solution that you can try to get at least the noise at work...

  Go to Device Manager and click to expand the category of audio, video and game controllers device.

  1. Select IDT High Definition Audio CODEC under this category.

  2. Select the driver tab.

  3. click on Update Driver... button.

  4-> select Browse my computer for driver software.

  5. Select-> Let pick me from a list of drivers for devices on my computer.

  6. Select Audio device high definition (not IDT high def...)  "This is important). and click Next.

  A warning message may appear, but click Yes.

  7 Windows has updated your driver software.

  8 restart the PC.

  The key is step 6.

• Windows RT will be a desktop computer? If so, what kind of applications will run?

  I wonder about windows RT I heard several sources say different things. Windows RT has a traditional desktop computer? If so, here are the ways I think this could work. Can you tell me how it will work?

  1. it has no offices.

  2. He has a desktop computer, but only works office, IE10 and other services Ms.

  3. it has an office which runs only applications that are configured for windows 8/RT. As there are, desktop applications, but not backward compatibility. It should be for RT.

  I would really appreciate help on this. Thanks in advance.
