On the road to Windows 10

I'll try to post this question in chronological order - which is a hilly track, given my severe loss of memory.  I had Windows 7 installed (of a 3 computer license) on my desktop, my laptop and my wife's office.  I downloaded and installed Win 10 on my desk.  I decided to try it for awhile before I activated my Account MS, it worked fine until I went to MS Account and registered, I tried my Hotmail account (that I hadn't used in the centuries) and my password didn't work.  I chose g-mail as my second e-mail account - for some reason, I changed my password and forgot it quickly!  I tried to get it back to Google, but they had me just to get a new password - when I tried to log in, my computer goes immediately to the newspaper Ms Account on the page, where my g-mail address is gray above the password box and I could not change the email accounts to my default Comcast account, so I had no g-mail password and win 10 would go no further and I could not get back in Win 7 because I had to get into the top 10!  I called support, waited for hours, had a support person with a final solution to a computer repair shop!  I formatted the hard drive of the computer of my wife with Acronis and delete partitions. I tried to re - install Win 7 and had a boot manager errors and several others that I forgot. My son-in-law came and managed to get to start loading - but when I typed the serial number it would not accept.  I tried everything I could think of (which isn't much) and then my wife got a new computer with Win 10 installed so I put his old office with Win 7, loaded on the hard drive and installed his hard drive in my desktop after you turn off my hard drive.  I got warnings with this arrangement, including the - impossible to start error that could result from a previously loaded device. I feel someone or thing don't think I have a legitimate copy of Win 7.  I have a 3 computer disk and none are currently used - my laptop took a dump about a year ago, my wife's office spreads throughout the House, mine don't like me or Microsoft 7 or 10! I have a shotgun and could blow all the 3, but that gets expensive (is that what have seen the price of ammunition!) In any case, I'd appreciate it of course for help.

Thank you, Don

Hello

Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

This problem happens in all desktop?

If you have made significant physical changes to your PC, as the replacement of your hard drive or motherboard, Windows can no longer be activated on your PC and your PC does not support some applications.

I you suggested placing the respective PC drives and then try to install Windows 7 and then try to upgrade to Windows 10 and check if it helps.

You can view the Microsoft Help article and check if it helps.

  • I get an error code 643 during the installation of Windows updates.

    Security updates will not download.  Tried all the "fix - its" from the microsoft support site.  Downloaded microsoft security definitions.  A virus scan.  Nothing works. Are still unable to update.   Error code is Ox643, tried all the "fixes" for the error codes. Help?

    Original title: updates will not download which gives the error code Ox643.  Tried all the fixes nothing works

    The good news is that these are NOT updated for Windows. They are simply updated for .NET Framework 1.1.

    If you can not solve this problem, I suggest you uninstall this framework (and all the updates, which can be uninstalled everything first) using Add / Remove programs in Control Panel.
    If you need this particular setting down the road (and you very well might never need!), you can always install it then.
    In the future, only install the critical security updates for WINDOWS. Avoid the optional software and hardware updates, since it is more trouble than they are worth. :-)
  • Z800 - Incorrect used the disk in the drive of Windows 7 boot

    Hello

    I have a very strange situation with my two Z800. I bought used them "out of contract".

    Among the motherboards was defective (one of the memory locations that it would generate an error

    probably a cpu twisted PIN?) and the other had this error I describe below. So I decided to

    two new motherboards think that two of them had problems buying... However, I am still

    the error that I describe below.

    Any help would be LARGELY APPRECIATED!

    Now, I'm only using two new motherboards.
    Z800 #1 config: two L5639, 96 GB of RAM (6 x 16 GB) BIOS v3.57 (I upgraded from 1.18)
    Z800 #1 config: 5520 x, 24 GB of RAM (3 x 8 GB) BIOS V1.18 (it came with the jury)

    When I install Windows 7 64 bit ultimate (two different MSDN Downloads) on hard _any_

    by car (I have tried many, partial list is below) connected to the SATA _any_ port (LSI or)

    Intel) (I tried all the different combinations of disks) on one of the

    systems, I get the same error. After the installation is complete and I check the disc

    disk space is _always_ fallacious.

    For example:

    Hitachi 700 GB HDD SATA2.  No other software other than Win7 install (about 11 GB

    files). When Windows starts the installation he sees a 698 GB drive, which is fine.

    Once installation is complete if I look at the drive C: he said 607 GB is available, up to 13%

    is used or about 90 GB... I right click all files on the C: drive however but

    they represent only 11 GB. What happened to the 78 GB of missing space?

    Similar, but more bad results with a processor Intel 320 160 GB SSD. Same scenario. However this time

    Windows believes that the player has 149 GB of free space (which is fine) but after the

    Install reports only 1.4 GB is available after the installation of windows. With only 11 GB of

    files in fact too much space. What happened to 138GB missing?

    What is really strange, it's that if I started 700 GB Hitachi drive and I have the Intel format

    the 320 series 160GB as a secondary Windows data drive, all space is

    available. I can copy files and the space used is correct... The same exact when results

    Am I on the Intel than BONE and Hitachi drive as data drive. The reader of the BONE

    bad shows used space and Hitachi is fine.

    The exact same results occur on the #1 and #2 of Z800 Z800.

    I tried the following SSDS: two 320series Intel 160 GB, 240 GB ADATA, Intel

    840 series 250GB, Kingston 300 160 GB and several older Rotary readers of

    Hitachi, WD and others with all kinds of different abilities and most of the spinning

    SATA2 and SATA3 a discs. the results are always the same. The Win7

    installation led still misreports the space used, but the data disk (any who

    reader that I use) always correctly reports the space used.

    I'm sure that I tried to use all of the ports on the controller Intel and LSI

    controller and I still get the same results. I've set up the SATA controller in

    IDE mode with the same results. I've set up the SATA controller in RAID mode with the same

    results.

    I flashed the drive Intel 320 with SSD utility HP, same results.

    I tried to load the drivers Intel and LSI as part of installing Windows

    procedure, but the Dungeon to get the same results.

    I tried sitting on a Chair and standing on one leg, but the results are always the

    even. I tried during the day and in the evening and even late at night, even

    results...

    I went to it last month. I contacted HP support, but they claim it hurts

    motherboards. I understand the issue with the twisted up like a bad mother but 3 pin

    all other similar problems?

    I configure something in the BIOS? or y at - it a setting that I'm not aware?

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    I finally solved the problem.

    The problem, it turns out, was related to the configuration of large capacity (GB 48 and 96 GB) memory. While I built servers with this amount of memory, and even more, I never built like that, desktop computers. Turn, the impact of this on the Windows desktop operating system memory size is dramatic at this scale. Server OSs are different and so the impact is not the same.

    Combine hard drives relatively 'small' (160 GB, 200 GB) in proportion to the size of the memory and this is where the problems occur. In a more typical 4 GB or 8 GB or RAM Office combined with a 1 TB drive, you won't even notice the effect.

    Question #1: The Windows 7 pagefile (pagefile.sys) aka virtual memory. It turns out that, by default, Windows creates a page file that is equal to the amount of physical RAM + 300 MB if 1 GB or more of RAM is installed:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff382717.aspx

    So now the largest system (96GB RAM) with the 160 GB drive (which Windows was seen as 149GB), 11 GB has been used in the Windows OS itself, then 96GB has been used by Pagefile.sys leaving 42 GB of available disk space.

    Question #2: Windows 7 hibernation file. By default, Windows creates a hibernation file which is 75% of the size of the memory. Why not 100%? because it compresses data before shutting down:

    http://download.Microsoft.com/downlo...footprint.docx

    So now the largest system (96 GB RAM) with the 160 GB drive (which Windows was seen as 149GB), 11 GB has been used in the Windows OS itself, then 96GB used hiberfil.sys PageFile.sys and (75% 96 GB = 72 GB) for a total of 179 GB. This means that the disc was actually larger. Even the biggest startup drives 500 GB, 750Go you always notice 179GB missing.

    Planned around work.

    The question of the hibernation: hibernation is only useful if you plan to put the system into hibernation - good for computers laptops, but not usually necessary in the workstations. . These systems will be used in audio and video production environments to the each with a dedicated inverter, so it does not intend to put them always in hibernation. Hibernation can safely be disabled in this case.

    http://helpdeskgeek.com/Windows-7/Windows-7-delete-hibernation-file-Hiberfil-sys/

    On the question of Pagefile.sys, we look at a few scenarios.

    Option 1 - use a larger SSD and therefore the size of the pagefile.sys is not a problem. In this case a 300 GB or better yet a 600 GB SSD would be very appropriate

    Option 2: Windows is capable of using a separate drive for this function, if the OS is on a disk and the pagefile.sys on another. What is important is that the drive used for pagefile.sys must have the same performance or be faster than the reader of the OS. So if an SSD is used on the main OS drive, do not use a drive 5400 RPM because problems occur... this reversing technically would work: 5400 RPM drive for OS and an SSD for better pagefile.sys, use two matched SSDs.

    We are fortunate to have a corresponding spare SSD, so we'll probably use it for this purpose.

    Option 3 - we had planned to use a VIRTUAL disk on the system of 96 GB. This means that we had to book 32 GB of RAM to the real system and then assign the other 64 GB of RAM like disc data in memory when working on projects. Load us the data to the VIRTUAL disk and copy to the storage drive when you are finished. Partially risky if there is a power outage because we can lose the files, but with a UPS the risk of crashes. We also have plans of relying on tools to sync files to save the RAMDISK in session. In this scenario, you can actually reduce the size of pagefile.sys since we would never use more than 32 GB of RAM. It is also prudent to reduce if keep you track of the size of the file over time and you have a good idea of the amount of memory you use. So if we ever go beyond 12 GB of usage, then we will reduce the size of the pagefile.sys properly.

    So that's it. It has been a long road to get to this point. Now, we can finally start using the system as planned.

    I'm surprised HP technical support was not aware of these effects. Well.

    Hope this is helpful to someone else out there.

  • I tried to download a video from my camera on the Director of windows, but he said that it was not a file supported or something. How can I change?

    I tried to change the file, but that no longer works

    Reviews video like Canon. MOV files, which are not supported by Windows Movie Maker. You can convert files in AVI format or another format in charge so that they will work for editing in Windows Movie Maker, or you would need to edit with a different program, such as Roxio Creator or Pinnacle Studio.

  • No sound on the new computer window 7.0

    Hello!  Just bought a new Dell XPS with Real-Tek speakers and subwoofer... when installed, all worked fine EXCEPT the audio.  The speakers work, because they "whine" when they are disconnected from the back of the computer; and works of volume/bass/headphone plug, clips, as the volume of the groan.

    However, no audio test crossed; no music Itunes, Windows Media Player or other audio files will play. my Ipod won't play through the headset or plug in MP3.

    Any ideas on how I can get audio?  This isn't an upgrade to 7.0 from the window, but a brand new machine on which the audio has unfortunately never worked...

    Thanks for all the ideas!

    Since this is a new computer with Dell Support check, their documentation online and drivers, and
    ask in the Dell forums for known issues. Update or reinstall the driver. Other than that
    having Support Dell repair or replace the computer. Even if an update of the driver solves the problem, you would

    Hello SteveO_1968,

    To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when you are prompted.
    3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
    4. Click repair your computer.
    5. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    6. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.
    7. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    Note To start the computer from the Windows Vista DVD, the computer must be configured to start from the DVD drive. For more information on the configuration of the computer to start from the DVD drive, see the documentation provided with your computer or contact the computer manufacturer.

    Bootrec.exe options

    The Bootrec.exe tool supports the following options. Use the option that suits your situation.

    Note If rebuilding the BCD does not resolve the startup problem, you can export and delete the BCD, and then run this option again. In doing so, you ensure that the BCD is completely rebuilt. To do this, type the following commands at the command prompt Windows RE:

    • bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup
    • c:
    • Boot CD
    • BCD attrib s h - r
    • Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old
    • Bootrec /RebuildBcd

    / FixMbr

    The /FixMbr option writes a MBR compatible Windows Vista on the system partition. This option does not overwrite the existing partition table. Use this option when you need to solve problems of corruption of MBR, or when you need to remove the non-standard code from the MBR.

    / FixBoot

    The /FixBoot option writes a new boot sector on the system partition by using a boot sector that is compatible with Windows Vista. Use this option if one of the following conditions is met:

    • The boot sector has been replaced by a non-standard Windows Vista boot sector.
    • The boot sector is damaged.
    • An earlier Windows operating system has been installed after the installation of Windows Vista. In this scenario, the computer starts by using Windows NT Loader (NTLDR) instead of Windows Boot Manager (Bootmgr.exe).

    / ScanOs

    The /ScanOs option scans all disks for installations that are compatible with Windows Vista. In addition, this option displays the entries that are currently not in the BCD store. Use this option when there are installations of Windows Vista which is not in the Boot Manager menu.

    / RebuildBcd

    The /RebuildBcd option scans all disks for installations that are compatible with Windows Vista. In addition, this option allows you to select the facilities you want to add to the BCD store. Use this option when you need to completely rebuild the BCD.

  • How to monitor the process and Windows activities

    Hello world

    I'm a player who plays full-screen. Some process or app steals focus once every few hours, unpredictable. This me tabs effectively out of my game on the desktop. It is only an annoyance, but yet, it's a real nuisance to do without good reason.

    Anything that flies focus leaves no trace of what it was, as far as I can tell. I'm just at the level of the office. (Exactly how I see what Win7 thinks has focus, if nothing seems?)

    I guess it's a thread that checks the updates, or some other thing, what has been written amateur and does well with games. Some games are also poorly written in terms of, what happens if something else could mess with the office or ask for focus. My guess is that it is a collision of stuff poorly written, but who knows.

    To make a long story short, is there anything I can do to see just how * had * focus (focus on the past), even if it's over now?

    I highly doubt that it is one of the major applications that I am running. I usually only Word and Excel 2013, Chrome and Windows Explorer to the top. I really doubt that this is one of them, but maybe. Who knows.

    It would be very difficult to test for that is happening, because it is very unpredictable. Also real inconvenient to keep my other applications closed for hours. This is why I ask if there is another way to catch the culprit himself, not all turn in everything.

    Thanks if you can help!

    HI Yann,

    Thanks to you, I was able to use the event viewer on Win7 / Windows Logs / request to see that I was being thrown out of my game on the desktop when the so-called SelfServicePlugin.exe "on the road". I checked in the Task Manager / process and saw that it is a Citrix Receiver background utility.

    Citrix Receiver (v. 4.1.0.56461, (c) 2013) is the remote software we use to open a session in our local network of work at home, however, the plugin is something all the time, not just at the point where it is actually using Citrix. I guess that it speeds up the loading time of Citrix, or whatever. (It seems that every piece of software must have a connection online if used or not, these days.) And no, I wasn't playing games when remoting to work, laughing. As I said, the receiver is there all the time; I was spilled on the desk in the evenings, etc.

    If I unload the plugin, I stop unexpectedly, the abandonment of game (and Citrix always starts very well).

    So, apparently, it is just this sloppily written plugin. I guess it is not surprising that something related to work don't care effect on the games, even after hours, laughing.

    Now that I know what it is - and it's not malware - it's so much easier to deal with.

    Thanks for hanging in there and answering the question directly to me! It helped a ton.

  • Transfer files to the computer after the installation of Windows 7

    I recently installed Windows 7 Home Premium (32 bit) to replace Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit). I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and no problems were detected. Before I installed Windows 7 I downloaded Windows Easy Transfer and he ran with the file to be saved on an external hard drive. I managed to install Windows 7 but I can't transfer the Windows easy transfer file to Windows 7. I get a message saying there is not enough free space on the disk to do the transfer. I ran disk cleanup, and I still get the same message. I have 268 GB of 287 GB free space on the C: drive. The Windows Easy Transfer file (currently on the external hard drive) is only 113.5 GB. I don't know why I get the message that there is not enough free disk space when there is obviously.

    Before you read this response to my question, I discovered that, in the file transfer Windows on the external drive under 'Advanced Options' disks 'map', there was a drive "C" and "D" of road listed. As soon as I changed both to the 'C' drive, the transfer went without a hitch. Thank you very much for your help, your suggestions are very helpful. I have a partition "C" and "D" on my computer, how do I know if Windows 7 has been loaded on the 'C' partition or partition "D"? Thank you

  • Mac lost during the installation of windows

    When installing windows on a MAC, I deleted my partition mac completely and I am now left with windows 7 to my mac book air. Y at - it an option to install mac, I don't mind losing the windows partition

    Hello smarthala,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you deleted by mistake your Mac partition during the installation of Windows. The partition itself deleted or was it the Mac OS that has been erased, leaving an empty partition?

    If the latter, you can reinstall OS X from OS X Recovery. See this article for how that should be done: On OS X Recovery
    Otherwise, you can use Internet recovery (Command-Option-R, as opposed to the command-R) to repartition the entire hard drive and install the version of Mac OS X provided on your Mac. Who is finished, you can upgrade to El Capitan via the App Store > bought.

    Best regards.

  • Bring back the old options windows in Firefox

    Upgrading Lee 42.0 was removed for the difficulty I have applied (setting the "browser.preferences.inContent" preference) to continue to allow the Options appear in a window pop up, rather than in the flat browser window. It's really annoying and difficult to use, the context menu was much easier to use and have floating "above" the browser window.

    The "browser.preferences.inContent" preference setting is no longer seems to work. Please tell me if there is a way to solve this problem, because I am in and out of the options a fair bit and it really is a pain to use now.

    Thank you.

    Hi marcoporcellini, firefox doesn't bring back the old interface options - browser.preferences.inContent preference was just in place temporarily for a period of transition. now that there are new features and settings, go to preferences and was former windowed interface is more maintained, its users would have missed out on them, so the support fell completely in firefox 42.

    If you still miss the old style - the Restorer Classic theme https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ addon contains some improvements to make the more familiar the style options...

  • Suddenly cannot open new tab, immediately after an update of MSWindows7, or after the upgrade to Windows 10 - tired, all kinds of bugs, no luck.

    Never had this problem until what MS downloaded and installed updates (for Windows7). So I said I'm going to widows 10 because I thought anyway, so I did this - still cannot open a new tab, or by clicking on the tab '+' or 'ctrl + T.
    I spent about an hour going by most of the measures that have been provided by the support of Mozilla tech note and it did not help. I'm not going to create a new FF profile.
    I restart my PC, nothing helped. I chose "never" (I forgot the exact wording) on all the Plug Ins and then rebooted and this did not help. I have not loaded Extensions.
    I installed FF for Windows 10 just after the installation of Windows 10.
    I am a user of whether average PC.
    Thanks for any help you can give,
    Steve V.

    Dear cor - el,

    Now, I'm happy! Thank you very much.

    New tab works now. It is because of me running the first program malware that you listed above, Malwarebytes. I am grateful that you suggested it because I would not have thought that that would be the problem (because the problem occurred immediately after a MS Windows7 update.

    Anyway, thanks again for sharing your time and skills.,.
