ill-advised free Windows 10
I want to install Windows 7 PRO on Windows 10 which was badly advised to download on the original Windows 7 Home Premium. Download the upgrade of Windows 10 'free', since nothing but h - he's paying. nothing works as advertised. What I can possibly lose during installation on Windows 10 7PRO? Office & files safe? To be clear... I want to install Windows 7 PRO on Windows 10 which has been installed (free Upgrade) on Windows 7. Any ideas? Or should I Deep that portable 5 year old & just start again?
When you say that nothing works, could you be more specific? Solve it sometimes is better than to come back.
I'm trying to understand how she is different in Windows 7 vs Windows 10 to do things like:
-Launch an application
-Stay in app
-switch between applications
-display a web page
How recent was the upgrade to Windows 10? If its been less than a month, try to perform a restore.
If its more than a month, then:

In addition to the information requested by PA Bear, you can do a search on the Internet and find some removal utilities free software that you can use to remove Microsoft Security Essentials.
You can also find Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, however, it is no longer supported by Microsoft as it was found that it could damage other components and that it is not recommended to use.

Impossible to install free Windows 10
I have windows 7 and July I got 10 free windows download. I was not able to download it. I get an error:
Windows 10 could not be installed.
failure: 1 update
Error (s) found: C1900101-40017 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.
Can someone tell me how can I fix? Grateful for your help!
"Configuration settings" is the final phase and fault codes look like c1900101 x400xx. The most common failure here is 40017, which means we could not start. Since this is the first time start us Windows 10 with all the drivers in place, once again, drivers are usually the cause of the accident. These issues tend to be less transient than the 30018 s, then a second test is less likely to solve the problem. Yet, it never hurts to try.
Try to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter first:

If this does not work, try the upgrade manually:

then
- Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
- Reboot several times, and then try again.
- Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
- If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
- Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
- If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
- If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
- If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
- If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
- If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).

Free Windows 7 Upgrade Clean install questions
Hi, I have recently buy a Mini 5101 it comes with XP Pro and Vista Business... I currently have Vista Business installed on it. I wonder about the process of upgrading to windows 7. On the free upgrade Web site it is said that the operating system can be upgraded to windows 7, according to the weather, I have vista (upgrade straigh) or xp (must be a stable cleaning). Now, my question is can I perform a clean installation with this upgrade? I know that normally you can perform a clean install via the insertion of the disc of the previous operating system media during installation, but as the Min 5101 is a netbook (no cd drive) I will probably install it via a USB key. It is very important for me to have a clean install.
On the upgrade Web site, it says that if you are using XP pro, you must perform a clean installation. It would be better for me to install XP now order the update, and then install Vista so that I can get the version that will allow me to perform a clean installation - or I'd get the same disc anyway?
I know the installation disc doesn't have not yet been outside and not so should know the process entirely. Kind of hope that someone will have knowledge on this subject.
The installation media will allow you to perform a clean installation 'upgrade' using product key of the current operating system during installation. This allows him to check that you are upgrading from a previous version of Windows.

How can I do to burn the recovery system/dvd (s) for Windows 10.

Help, please.
You are the very welcome.
From any PC which is come with W8 or newer, there is no more stickers product key.
Which was imposed in another attempt to reduce the illegal use of the product on the other PC OEM keys, which is a violation of the rules on the OEM licenses Microsoft PC manufacturers.
The key that you received from the Belarc Advisor is one who is encrypted in the BIOS, and it is only good for your PC.
The other problem is that the key cannot be used to activate a non - OEM version of W8.1.
For example: you can download and make W8.1 installation of Microsoft support about the same way you just did to W10 installation media.
The difference is the installation of W8.1 media that you downloaded will not work with OEM product key that you received from the Belarc Advisor.
You need an OEM Setup disk to work with OEM product key.
Personally, I think it's terrible, but that's what has Microsoft done.
In other words, if your OEM recovery disks don't work, you are flat out of luck, unless you buy an OEM of Windows 8.1 version.
