Yes, it's true.  And of course if you have Windows 7 Pro today, you will receive 10 Windows pro for free (as long as you install and activate it before July).  Thus, you will continue to have the professional version.

  • Problems with the upgrade to Windows Windows 7 10 and get the message 'could not be updated. "portable

    Original title: Windows 7

    I have 2 questions-

    I have a laptop Windows 7 when I tried to update Windows 10 received a message that it could not be updated.  Has there never been a solution or an update for those of us who have a version of Windows 7 which initially could not updated for Windows 10?

    I have a computer I upgraded Windows 10 and really like it.  I do not understand that I can not make a copy of 10 Windows on a computer, I've updated for Windows 10.  Is it possible for me to download a copy of Windows 10 on my laptop Windows 7 to make a restore CD in the case of a computer problem?

    You can try the upgrade manually:

    Task of pre-required

    When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

    then

    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).

    You also have the possibility to choose 'Keep personal files only', which guarantees a successful in most cases installation.

  • Problem with the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional to Windows 7 Ultimate

    Hello

    My Dell laptop came pre-installed with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit version. But there was a hardware problem, and I had to re - reinstall Windows 7 on my Dell laptop. But then, without knowing it, I installed Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (for which I had the key too) & began to work on it. Later, when some drivers were not installed correctly because of compatibility issues, I realized the truth.

    Then I tried to update my Windows 7 Professional current operating system to Windows 7 Ultimate-operating system by using Windows Anytime Upgrade without having to re - install Windows from scratch, I have so many applications and data on my laptop now. And I used the key of Windows 7 Ultimate version I have with my Dell laptop. But the key is not be accepted by the Windows Anytime Upgrade application and the following error message is displayed:

    "Enter a different upgrade key

    The upgrade key you have entered is an edition of Windows that does not work with Windows Anytime Upgrade. Enter a different upgrade key. "

    Please help me in this regard to solve this problem so that I can improve my Windows 7 operating system without having to re - install from scratch.

    Thank you

    Note: Retail 'Full' or 'Upgrade' product keys will work when you use the Express Upgrade feature.

    Upgrade Express 'can' not work (check with the manufacturer of the computer support team) for users who have the OEM and system integrators or keys, this applies also to VL (Volume License), - MSDN Academic Alliance (MSDNAA) / DreamSpark or pedagogical keys that does not / do support the Anytime Upgrade option. KMS users consult your administrator before attempting to perform an Express upgrade.

    The key that came with your mobile PC is an OEM key, which most likely why it fails to upgrade.

  • HP pavilion dv6-2150us: problems with the upgrade of processor for an i7-720qm on a hp pavilion dv6-2150us

    Hi all

    My friend recently bought an i7-720qm processor used to upgrade hp pavilion dv6 2 1 5 0 US and I

    summer giving a helping hand by making the upgrade.

    Since the 10 Windows running Google Chrome used up to 70% of the processing of an i3 - 330 m power

    processor, it seemed to be good upgrade to improve the performance of the laptop.

    We checked that the new i7 processor is compatible with the laptop (it is listed as supported by the)

    ( interview guide , page 108), and the seller assured us he tested the CPU on some different

    HP pavilion and it worked fine.

    But when I replaced the processor with the i7 processor i3 and tried to boot up the laptop, only the LED lights

    on the front and the setting of the power and volume buttons would light up periodically. The screen was black

    All the time.

    Thinking I might have made a mistake during the reassembly of the laptop I put the original i3 processor back in

    and it starts fine.

    I updated the BIOS of the F.1C version I found on the internet and once replaced the i3 with the i7 with the

    same results - display off, flashes periodically LEDs. The BIOS updated smoothly, and the correct version is displayed in the main menu of the BIOS.

    I am confused on what could be the problem with the upgrade, everything should work. Is there a BIOS update I have

    missed, or the problem elsewhere?

    Disassembly and reassembly are made with care, and we took care to avoid static electricity. All the rest

    on the laptop works well - I am writing this post on the laptop in question with the original i3 processor in place.

    Any help, advice or general guidelines as to what should be done would be really appreciated.

    Thank you for your attention.

    I don't know about other issues. There are always 'problems' with any upgrade. You weigh against the benefits. I know that you need more RAM. At least 4 GB, maybe more if you can. Don't forget that this system is produced at a time when most of the machines have + 8 GB RAM and when Apple said 'minimum' they really mean it.  I recently inherited a MacBook that has 2 GB of RAM and the Mavericks. When I checked the memory, the use of the system was using 1.95 GB = nothing to run applications!

    Dear God. I can't believe how much a long time ago, I asked this question. Over 2 years later I see something in my Inbox (right now). Honestly, I know more ask this question.

    And more now, I would say try the upgrade to Windows 2000 if you happen to have a product key. Then go to Windows XP. If not, is it possible to restore Windows 98 updates? Perhaps the latest edition of Service causes a conflict with the upgrade. You be left with a clean cloth. I'm curious, that you still have a machine running Windows 98? What is the material/specs on this platform? I can't believe anyone is still out there running old technology like this to use out of it.

    Hi Jack8053,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

    · The error message you get when you try to install a software, what exactly?

    · Remember to make changes on the computer before this problem?

    It seems to be that some of the files windows install is corrupt. I have a few steps that might help you to solve the problem:

    Method 1

    Make sure that the Windows Installer service is running.
    1 open run and type services.msc, and then press ENTER.

    2. in the services window, locate the Windows Installer service in the services list.
    3. check that the status is "started". If the condition column is empty,
    Right-click Windows Installer, and then select start.
    4. change the Startup Type to automatic (default is Manual), then
    Restart the computer.

    Method 2

    Run a scan of the file system [SFC] checker on the computer that will replace missing or corrupt files.

    To do this, follow the steps below:

    1. click on the Start button.

    2. on the Start Menu, click all programs followed by accessories.

    3. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option.

    4. in the drop-down menu that appears, click the "Run as Administrator" option.

    5. If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked permission before the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

    6. in the command prompt window, type: sfc/scannow then press ENTER.

    7. a message is displayed indicating that "the system scan will start.

    8. be patient because the analysis may take some time.

    9. If all the files need replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue.

    10. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.

    11. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

    For more information, see the link below:
