• Windows 10 free update (until July 29, 2016) for Boot Camp on end of 2015 iMac?

  Hello

  Today, I noticed that this free update of Windows 10 is available until July 29, 2016.

  I didn't need to date, but will probably have to Windows soon.

  Is it possible to install this upgrade for my new iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2015)?

  I learned that I can install only 10 Windows with Boot Camp, but none of the previous versions.

  I have a full version of Windows 7 Home Premium (DVD set & key)

  and later I bought an upgrade of Windows 8 pro (download and key).

  This help and how would it use?

  I never had the Boot Camp on this iMac.

  For now, I download the ISO from here.

  Thank you very much.

  If you are running OS 10.11 then Windows 7 is no longer an option to install through bootcamp. MS stopped support of the operating system, and therefore Apple.

  If you don't install window 10 by July 29 deadline you don't perhaps more power get it for free or to install on any device for free even if you downloaded and saved before that time. Windows 10 must be installed, so it can bind to a system configuration and report this configuration for Member States qualify for free use. After that this time, he has not stated by MS so the program will remain free or will be a purchase (once or monthly) MS said they will not charge for Windows 10, if it was installed before that deadline, the exceptions are 10 Windows for the use of the company.

  If you want to use a version of Windows on a Mac before winning 10 eye in VMWare or Parallels for Mac, or a previous instance of Mac OS X, where the old versions are supported under bootcamp.

  After that I installed the free updates to service pack 1, the system goes through 2 of the 3 steps, while it recharges, then the system does not boot?  To get the computer to work again, I need to run the repairer of Windows, which allows you to restore the system to an earlier point?  Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

  Do your system restore, then:

  Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

  > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

  When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the update causing you problems.

• Free update to Windows 10

  OK, so I decided to do the free update to windows 10 in windows update but there was a mistake and he couldn't and I clicked it and it says it is the error code and it gave a link for support, so I clicked on that.

  have a fully legitimate enabled version of windows 7 sp1 Ultimate edition

  has chosen to chat with a technician, or something like that and a cat came and I described my problem, the tech connected to my pc and checked the version of windows and told me I should buy winows 10. I thought why? He said you can install the free full version but I couldn't activate it and some features would not be activated and pushed for me to buy a copy. I asked him how a free upgrade to a version full of paralyzed 10 = inactive and feature windows. And he gave me a sales pitch classic "even, I had to buy it.

  Just makes me want to go get my windows xp rear disc

  1.1 you said that rep support chat on the history of the activation of the computer, including the previous phone activation?

  1.2 is the current edition Ultimate Windows 7 edition, which was preinstalled?

  1.3 What is the edition that was installed when you had to use telephone support after the replacement of your motherboard?

  2 don't let Windows 10 try to activate after upgrade or you enter your product key from CoA during the procedure to upgrade [instead of click on the command to ignore this dialog]?

  3 I think you could reasonably retry the upgrade but do so using a USB installation rather than the upgrade itself.

  3.1 use of the procedural guide & links download Windows 10 and his companion FAQ page make the USB/DVD.

  3.2 prepare the upgrade by making the proposed GenuineTicket file in Clean install Windows 10 directly without having to first upgrade - Windows 10 Forums

  • I have no reason to suspect TenForums of publication of poor procedures but I saw not all reports in this forum of users who have tried this procedure.
  • When I move from another computer in a few weeks, I'll use this procedure to create the GenuineTicket file but I will consider it as an additional tool that could help me if I hit all activation issues.

  3.3 then run upgrade, indeed, as a repair installation [also referred to as an upgrade in Place] procedure.  There are instructions to repair the 10 Windows Installer with an upgrade in place - Windows 10 Forums] & in a thread of forum in this topic about How to perform an upgrade using the ISO for Windows 10 file repair Skip enter a key product during the installation process, regardless of the procedure that you use.

  3.4 you will have these activation options:

  • Complete the file GenuineTicket advocated by Windows 10 Forums.
  • Go online and let the computer attempts to activate itself using its normal process.
  • Settings, Update, Activation, Activate by phone
  • Please contact an Activation Center - see How to contact a Microsoft telephone product activation Center
