I have a laptop HP in which win7 was pre installed.

HII,

I have a HP Elitebook 8460p mobile in which win7-64 bit was pre installed, I tried to upgrade to win 10 (I get a notification on the bottom right to upgrade, but it always fails)

So, I download win 10 on the site through the media creation tool, now my question is once I have download and do a clean install, how do I use the same series as my current win 7

kindly help

Before you consider formatting the drive, you can create a bootable copy, start Windows Setup, then choose the option keep nothing, this is an easy method to perform a new installation without annihilating the drivers. Its quite a chore to download the drivers for the Elitebook 8460p which I also own.

You can use the product key located in the battery compartment to activate Windows 10 If you choose to format the drive.

Step 1, download Windows 10 and then create a bootable copy:

    Hello

    Maybe this can help.

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Homegroup = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Network of home or work = fundamentally similar (and better) to the previous Working Group sharing methods which allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

    To get best results connect to each computer system screen and set all the computers to be on a bearing the same name of Working Group , while each computer has its own unique name.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_name.jpg

    Make sure that the software firewall, AV, or other security components allow free local traffic on all network computers. If you use the 3rd group of security, firewall native Vista/XP must be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
    Please Note that some 3rd party software firewall/AV/security costumes continue to block aspects of the Local traffic even it they are off (off).
    If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.

    If you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

    -----------------

    Network Win 7 with another version of Windows as a work network (works very well if all computers are Win 7 also).

    In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

    Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

    When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).

    * Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.

    * Note . All the users who are allowed to share need to have an account onall computers that they are allowed to connect to.

    Everyone is an account, that means a group of all users who already have an account now as users. It is available to avoid the need to configure permission for each on its own, it does not mean all those who feel that they would like to connect.

    1. Do you have the latest changes on the computer?
    2. You have security software installed on the computer?

    I suggest that reset you the default Windows Update components and later try to install updates.

    Also check out the article below and try the steps

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then I suggest you temporary disable the security software installed on the computer and install 5 updates at a time, to check if it helps.

    Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    You can contact Fujitsu and ask them to send you a set of Vista recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.
