My laptop has been updated from win 7 to win 10 a few months ago.

I had to replace the hard drive by another which also had win 7 on it. Can I still switch to win 10? I only changed the drive hard nothing else.

Hello

Welcome to the Microsoft community.

Since you have replaced your hard drive, you will be not able to custom install or clean install Windows 10 on it without a product key.

If you have a version installed and activated Windows 7 on your PC, you may have installed all the updates and upgrade to Windows 10 using the free update.

For more information, see:

  • Beats Audio Control Panel has been removed from my PC after update audio driver.

    Pavilion dv7-6052er (Windows 7 x 64). Beats Audio Control Panel has been removed from my PC after update audio driver.
    Tried to reinstall manually with 6.10.6345.0 version (http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55094.exe) and another randomly chosen by some. Nothing has worked.
    My actions:
    1. remove the driver and its software.
    2 restart the computer.
    3 Windows Installer some driver after reboot (I can't disable or cancel installation)
    4 reinstall the driver.
    5 restart my computer.
    Just after the start of Windows driver trying to implement something else (or to continue installation), but it causes an error: _Error: Error = error Undefined...
    Tried to do without step 2 - to reinstall the driver right after having been deleted - without success.
    Tried to remove the driver and then restore an old via Recovery Manager - Beats audio control panel is displayed but there is no sound at all!
    I think I tried all possible combinations of actions. Beats Audio Control Panel works without noise and noise without BACP. But never together.
    Please help me with some advice. Thank you.

    Hey guys! Tried once more to remove the driver and install it with the Recovery Manager. Don't know how, but this time it worked.

    In fact I've disappointed with HP updates, won't be tester for you. I'm tired of these bugs after updates (utility Cool sense, Beats Audio etc.).

    Turn off automatic updates on my PC, seems I don't need your "improvements".

    Hello

    I've seen a lot of posts on the subject, but no solution. So my laptop has been freezing at random the day I bought it. Today it happens much more often, this becomes ridiculously boring.

    Is there a way to fix this?

    > Once again, there was a notification that emerged after one of those who freeze soemthing mean in the sense of "there was a problem with amd (graphics card)?"but it was resovled."" It's all updated however.

    This notification comes from the graphics card driver. It might be possible that there is a problem with the graphics driver or with the graphics chip.

    Since the firmware has been updated a couple of weeks, my air 2 canned disconnection from the wifi ipad. And if she's not be disconnected it asks the router to renew the lease every few minutes. Sometimes I can't the internet connection, other times I have connection, but used to play embedded videos.  I have to turn the ipad works to recover.

    In addition, my ipad think that the ip address is 127, but my router it's 115!

    Anyone with problems and suggestions? I tried everything until and including resetting the network settings. I'm sure it's the router.

  • When I connect to Windows 7 after that my laptop has been asleep, the Welcome screen will have 10 minutes to go beyond.

    When I connect to Windows 7 after my laptop has been asleep, the Welcome screen will block for always (10 + minutes). It does not every time, but maybe once all 5 or 6 times and it's happened lately. I can just shut the computer off and the newspaper with no problem after starting it upward, but I'm afraid, there may come a time where it does not work.

    I had this problem since I got my computer 2 months ago so I don't think it's related to what I have installed. Has anyone else encountered this problem and has found a way to fix it? Is this a common bug in all of Windows 7?

  • My flash player has been updated and still does not recognize that its been updated

    My flash player has been updated and still does not recognize that its been updated on sites like facebook. I restarted my computer several times, tried to reinstall the latest version of flash player, active manage add ons and clicked active x (all windows instructions). But while that in facebook, I can't download the images as I used to on my old laptop, its me to download 1 by 1, because it says that I don't have the latest version of flash player, BUT I DON'T!

    Flash Player in Windows 8 is embedded you do not download it and all updates are are through Windows Update. Hope this helps and if you need any additional aid station and we will be happy to help you.
