R050sa flow 11: Activation fails after a clean install on laptop pre-installed Windows 10

I just bought a HP notebook 11 r050sa stream with Windows preinstalled Home 10, but could not start when it opened its doors to the top (circle kept spinning turn for hours).

As I was intending to do a clean install anyway, to remove any HP bloatware, I decided to delete all partitions and perform a new installation from a USB key using the official Microsoft Media creation tool for Windows 10 Home https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10.

Installation went well but the activation failed indicating that I have "do not have a digital right.

How is this possible, since the PC came with Windows preinstalled 10? How can I get my license back?

There was a surprising new twist in this question, should I report it here in case someone else is in the same situation.

When I received the activation failed I reported to my original request, I had done the installation using the edition entitled 'Windows 10 unilingual homepage' (see figure below), which seemed to me the only option if I wanted to install "Windows 10 home" which is preinstalled on my laptop.

Yesterday I did a last attempt at creating USB installation after selecting 'Windows 10' (see figure below). Yet once, I removed all partitions on disk and performed a completely clean install on my HP notebook 11 r050sa flow.

The result is that, in the end installation smoothly, I found my computer with installed "Windows 10 Home" and fully active, without the need to insert an activation key of windows, with all the drivers installed automatically by Windows and without any HP bloatware!

I'm puzzled by the outcome, but happy...

  • Stuck at 0% - even after a clean install Windows Update

    Hi guys,.

    I am aware that there are various other posts on the same question, however, I think mine is unique.
    I have 144 updates to Windows that will not download and will remain at 0%. I did everything I could to try to resolve this issue - including making a refresh and a clean reset/install of windows 8, but none of it worked.

    I am aware that there may be files that are corrupt, but if this is the case, would not have done a clean install/reset windows to fix this?

    "I tried different methods including attempts to install the updates one at a time, but this does not work either, they all remain at 0% complete.

    I'll be very grateful if this has been resolved that it is forbidding me download windows 8.1 and reserving my copy of windows 10!

    Thank you very much

  • After a clean install of Windows Vista, Intel Wifi card is installed and activated, but does not detect the network.

    Wireless card not working after a clean install of Windows Vista

    I did a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium on my HP Pavilion of 32 bits. I've completely updated Windows via Service Pack 2. Given that the clean install, my wireless card, Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, was not able to detect all the networks. The Wifi card is listed under NICs as being installed and activated. the hardware on my laptop Wifi switch is set on "on" and the light is blue, indicating that the card is working.

    I can connect to the internet if I connect physically my computer to the modem with an ethernet cable wireless, so the modem isn't the problem. Other computers can connect to the wireless modem, so my Wifi modem functionality is not the problem. The problem with my computer.

    I tried to uninstall the Intel driver and reboot my computer with the generic driver. Install the driver generic, but my wireless card has not always worked. I then ran an update of windows, nothing helps.

    I tried to install the "Intel® PRO /? Wireless and WiFi Link"drivers for Windows Vista (32-bit 13.1.1.1 the latest version and the previous version 12.4.4.5 32-bit) for the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN directly from the Intel Web site at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Wireless+Networking&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+WiFi+Products&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Wireless+WiFi+Link+4965AGN. The map didn't always work with a driver.

    In addition to the pilots, I also downloaded a tool of diagnosis of Intel (Intel® PROSet /?) Utility of WiFi wireless connection for Windows Vista 32 -? Bit). Said diagnostic tool the WiFi card is not installed or enabled, however, Device Manager maintains that he is also installed and active.

    Is there a problem that causes Device Manager to say that all is well with the card, but does not map to realize that they diminish the radio signals? Everything's fine, diagnostic, it just does not detect networks around him. Help, please.

    Hello

    The on/off switch actually works?

    Since it is an internal adapter to ensure it is enabled in the settings of configuration/F2 (BIOS/CMOS) often like you
    Start - so look at the screen.

    Have you tried the computer on other WiFi networks? You had a WiFi type problem before the
    Re-install of Vista?

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

    Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
    Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
    obstacles in the path?

    Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Hello

    After a 'clean install' 10.5 before moving on to 10.5.8 on my iBook to friends, I was left with this issue what a guess would be called the root folder. (Macintosh HD)

    (The folder that contains the Applications, library, system, and users).

    It is named BaseSystem.pkg.1518yN2yy that he holds 12.7 MB worth of material...

    I was wondering if everything I do with this file?

    I remember reading once you can remove it, but others have posted to leave him alone.

    Before giving my friend returned his computer, I would like to know if everything I do with this file.

    Thank you for your time,

    Eric

    If the computer works fine now, delete the folder. It's an artifact of the installation.

    Hello

    Step 1: You can remove it in c:/Windows. With the help of old cleaning disc.

    In the disk cleanup, select the previous installation of windows. Put a check mark to remove it.

  • No restore factory after a clean install of Windows 7

    Factory support key F11 RnR restores after a clean install of win7?

    I did a new install of win7 and installed a RnR last on my T410. When I tried F11 RnR, there is no option to restore with. My SYSTEM_DRV and Lenovo recovery xxxx exist and are suitable for all the files in them.

    I have recovery disks, but I just what to see if restore factory F11 works on this path.

    Fix. I had already understood what you were doing.

    I'll say it simple as I can:

    (1) installed at the factory

    The secret is windows 7 added windows re (recovery of win7 to the mix environment). Lenovo plant reorganizing this to factory support. This has created a hidden from the factory restore boot entry.

    (2) your installation "sideways", IE, cram lecteurC.

    This wax installation tips from lenovo. That is to say, no factory entry to move to the RNR standalone.

    (3) any property. do not delete anything. (such as SYSTEM_DRV).

    ==

    You have a dead now at the new disk space.  This works. Large.

    Use RNR and backup every week in a place (external). I know that it was not fun, but has been a learning experience.

    ==

    To clarify: (confusion)

    RNR is the main big daddy.  This is the main task is to rescue by using a backup RNR. Recovery (factory) is a subset, not exactly. This just transfers control to another entry for starting a recovery plant stuff. Thus, Rescue and Recovery.  I answer all the time about it. Yes, they look different, they are.

  • Clean install Windows 7 with UEFI in dv6-7215nr

    Hi, I would like to do a clean install of my HP dv6-7215nr Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x 64 envy laptop.

    To this end, I have 3 questions to solve some installation issues.

    1. What are the steps to clean install Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise intact in UEFI mode?

    I tried to install Win 7 after the pre-requisites following:

    (a) not partitioned 200 GB free space on the disk (only 1 physical disk)

    (b) already installed Windows 8 files with UEFI

    (c) UEFI enabled

    (d) heritage disabled startup

    (e) secure boot disabled

    When I Boot in UEFI of CD/DVD, I can't switch to the Windows startup screen, it just hangs. What I am doing wrong? Is there any other prerequisites that I don't know?

    I tried to install UEFI with Legacy enabled Boot, and I installed win7 but I can't disable Legacy new Boot because Win7 boot and I want only the UEFI Boot and need for inheritance disabled.

    2. where can I download drivers for Windows 7 for my laptop?

    I found this topic:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/HP-envy-DV6-7210ei-downgrade-fr...

    They point to these drivers

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us & dlc = in & lc = in & product = 5273735 & task = &

    I think I could use these drivers, but I need just in case where. I guess they should work as the product names are roughly similar (with mine).

    3. is it possible to Secure Boot with Windows 7 SP1?

    I have no research on this so far.

    Thanks for the help that someone in the community can give to me, it is not important all the problems that I have set in I can still do research on questions 2 and 3 and help others with my research if I can do it before a response. Any info you can give me will be too great.

    Carlos

    (1) ' secure Boot' must be DISABLED and 'Legacy Support' must be ENABLED to install Windows 7 and many other older operating systems. The bootable media must support UEFI boot to install on a GPT-partitioned drive.

    You let people with DISABILITIES 'Secure Boot' (and 'Legacy Support' ENABLED) once you have installed Windows 7. Changing these options causes Windows 7 to start is no longer.

    (2) the Windows 7 drivers on the CTO Entertainment Notebook PC drivers HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 page you referenced, will work on your computer.

    (3) it is not possible to install or use Windows 7 with "Secure Boot" ACTIVE.

    WARNING *.

    HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a consumer computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP cannot provide the drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

    Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

    You will need to DISABLE 'Secure Boot' and ENABLE 'Legacy Support' in the 'Configuration of the BIOS start-up secured' on the page parameters below, until you try to install Windows 7.

    In addition, as the hard drive is probably partitioned as TPG, you must start the computer by using the "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" or "UEFI - USB Flash drive" options in the boot menu "F9". If "UEFI - CD/DVD drive", "UEFI - USB Flash drive" or something to that effect does not exist in the start menu, please post a screenshot and/or make startup listed options.

    I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

    If you have missing or unknown devices after installing the drivers, please post to the "Hardware ID" Device Manager (just the text string will do) to these devices as shown in the example below.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • HP Envy 17: Clean install Windows 10 without upgrade.

    Hello

    First of all, I am very happy with my new HP laptop first, it's amazing!

    Now my problem. The laptop came with 8.1 Windows preinstalled with a free upgrade to Windows 10, however, I want to do a clean install Windows 10 without going through the process of upgrading (or would defy a 'clean' install), without additional software (I have already downloaded all the drivers and software from HP Web site) and I wanted to make the installation of the driver/software myself.

    Now, I had the key OEM with software, however...

    I read several threads related to this problem, the recommended steps were required to use the creator of media, but that won't install it Windows 8.1? I know that I coud after upgrade, but I wanted to avoid this step

    In any case to create support for Windows 10? If I clean install 10 Windows with a retail key, I'll lose the built in recovery?

    Thank you very much for your kind attention,

    Best regards

    Francisco

    To answer your questions:

    (1) MS media creation tool: Activation in Windows 10 - Windows help offers several options: to upgrade this PC now, create installation media (download the ISO file), create an installation (DVD or USB) media.  Choose the option that suits you - understand that upgrading PC, this option does NOT create an ISO file or installation media.

    (2) lose the built-in recovery.  IF you ask on the resumption of Win8x HP - then Yes.  That no longer works after upgrade Win10.

    (3) retail vs upgrade and recovery: Version does not matter, you will lose HP Win8x recovery without worrying.

    (4) retail key - you get ONLY a touch of detail if you buy a copy at Win10 retail.  The version proposed for the free update does not product keys for activation.  You MUST install a version upgrade on top of an existing installation of Win7/8/8.1 so that it will activate.  If you install directly from media Win10 Upgrade, starting from the media and did an install clean, not only will win 10 then NOT activate, right now, it will NEVER activate.  MS talking about providing an option IN THE FUTURE, to allow people to enter a Win7/8/8.1 existing product key - but this feature is not present today.

  • Aspire V5 - 552g clean installed Windows 7, overheating

    My Aspire V5 - 552 g died a while ago (completely failed hard disk).  It came with Windows 8, but I didn't have the windows key after installing a new hard drive so I installed Linux instead.

    Anyway, with the upgrade of Windows 10 is about to expire, I thought that I should enjoy it while I can.  I managed to get a key of Windows 7 pro at work, and I installed Windows 7 this weekend (dual boot with Linux).  Windows has initially didn't show 'no network device' but I have the drivers wifi from somewhere and so now I can connect.  But obviously, there are problems of driver with Windows 7.

    The problem I have now is the laptop overheats and crashes in an hour (from total cold startup).  It's certainly a Windows problem is not a hardware problem, as I'm still running intense applications on Linux without any problem.

    I guess it's a driver problem, and so my initial plan has been completely updated from Windows and I hope that, somewhere in there are a few updates to the driver.  However, the laptop dies before it will be updated.  Same question so I'm trying the update up to 10 or just 7.

    The drivers listed on page Acer for the V5 - 552 g are all for Windows 8, which I do not know do not work with Windows 7.

    Any suggestions?  (and sorry if this is a repeat, I look in the forums but couldn't find the same question, if it has already been answered please tell me here if?).

    You need not key windows 8.1.  The key will be automatically removed from the UEFI/BIOS during installation.

    After you have installed windows 8.1, check to see if there is a BIOS update,

    Then update Windows 10.

    Note: If you have changed your UEFI to legacy mode and to return to default UEFI, then search the forum because it is literally hundreds of messages on how to install 8.1 for Windows or Windows 10 with RUFUS. (or just create your installation on a computer UEFI support).

    You may be able to install directly windows 10 If you do a few google searches.
