  What were the problems you saw that you thought a "clean install" of Windows XP could solve?

  This "clean install" included formatting the HARD drive?

  The "clean install" left you with WinXP WinXP SP1, WinXP SP2 or WinXP SP3 gold (no Service Pack)?

  What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

  A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a test free version comes preinstalled when you buy it and that would have been reinstalled, but invalid, when you did the clean install)?

  You receive an error code "0 x 80246002" when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update Web sites to install updates:

• Can not access the updates after clean install of Windows 7 Pro

  I have formatted my hard drive digital, preformed a clean install of Windows 7 Pro. Everything went well and OS seems to be properly authenticated.

  The question is not able to 'find' updates.  At startup, the message: NEW UPDATES AVAILABLE. When I check the updates, the process runs "forever" and never completes the process. The problem would be to my use of Office 2003? I have installed for messaging and Outlook calendar.  Here's the MGADiag.exe diagnostic tests.

  You can reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on this page. But if there is malware present, she will continue to reset the connection to the update servers:

  How to reset the Windows Update components

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

  Suggest you download and save the Fixit. Then configure the system before the clean boot by running:

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista/Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

  I suggest before you stop and install the updates, disconnect from the Internet, first.

  I also recommend that download you and install Service Pack 3 for Office 2003, then look for updates in the Help menu.

• Windows 8 Pro update product key cannot be used to activate Windows after an installed cleaning

  Hi guys,.

  I bought a Windows 8 Pro Upgrade and received the product key I used to download and run a clean install to my laptop using a USB Flash drive (format my HD then install). But now, in my new installed Windows 8, I can't use this product key to activate Windows as it says that the key is for an upgrade, not a clean install. I was not aware of this problem when I did the clean install. So, how can I activate my Windows now?

  It! s a upgrade, you need to UPGRADE your existing system. New installation is not supported. I'm sorry.

  This is simply not true.

  If you had a hardware problem and you will need to re - install Windows 8, you can do this by using installation media that the wizard allows you to create (or installation media that you ordered, if you chose to order discs).

  If you don't have installation media, you can re - install your older version of Windows and rerun the upgrade.

  Whatever it is, you will need the product key you received when you paid for Windows 8. If you choose to do a clean install of Windows 8 from the installation media, you will also need to call Customer Service for help activating your copy of Windows.

  Kind regards

• Pavilion G6-1d21dx: necessary drivers after Windows 10 clean install on g6 (g6-1d21dx Pavilion) Pavilion

  I tried the HP support site, but I don't see any drivers for any available OS for my model, the g6-1d21dx Pavilion.

  I did a clean install of Windows 10, but the Wi - Fi button does not work. Apparently, there's a pilot called HP wireless button that I need to install. When I do a Google search for it, there is a link to HP's download page, but the link seems to be dead.

  HP allows us to download drivers more? It's frustrating, because drivers must be simple and easy.

  Can someone please tell me where I can get this and all the other drivers that I might need after doing a clean install of Windows 10?

  Thank you.

  Well, I think I solved the problem. The first time I did a new install of Windows 10, didn't have an Ethernet cable connected to the computer. This leads to all sorts of problems, including a lack of access to the Internet and some devices are not installed correctly. I reformatted the SSD drive and cloned my old hard drive, but that resulted in a very slow performance, then I would get errors every other time I start the computer (inaccessible_boot_device, unexpected_store_exception and kernel_data_input_error). In addition, the hard drive that I cloned has been running the 64 bit version of Windows 10, and I wanted to try the 32-bit version, because I want to use some software of old who will not run on 64-bit Windows 10 (for example, the Spanish dictionary Oxford SuperLex 3-in-1, French and German).

  Last night, I did another installation of the 32-bit version, but with a network attached cable. This time, after installation and update of Windows, all my devices appear to be installed and working properly. This includes the Synaptics touchpad, the HP wireless button, the AMD Radeon graphics card and the Realtek card reader. I didn't need to install whatever it is myself, and the Device Manager does not display the unknown devices. In addition, installation completed MUCH more quickly with the connected network cable.

  Conclusion: If you clean - install Windows 10, I highly recommend that you do so with a network cable attached so that you will have access to the Internet when it is necessary during installation. With fixed cable, both my wired network and my Wi - Fi network have been detected during installation. Wireless network connected, even my Wi - Fi was not available during the installation.

• Error code: Trying 80072F8F update windows after fresh install - Dell Vostro 1510 - (Windows 7 x 64 PRO)

  Hello, I'm trying to update windows after installation and I get error code 80072F8F.  After looking for other pages, I checked my BIOS date and time are correct and Windows as well.

  Laptop: Dell VOSTRO 1510
  Windows 7 x 64 PRO

  I already activated Windows (silly me to check everything actually works) and I need a solution as soon as POSSIBLE.

  I needed Windows update to try and fix a number display adapter (card intel not giving not external display resolutions)- but that's another question.

  I hope that there is a fix out there somewhere in the ether.

  No anti-virus installed at the present time, no anti-spyware, no firewall.

  Repost: What were the problems you are experiencing that you thought that a "new facility" could solve?

  The foregoing notwithstanding, and since you neglected to install an antivirus application...

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

• Which applications and drivers get I need once I clean installed my Acer Aspire One 725 Windows 10?

  I already upgraded my Acer Aspire One 0725-10 Windows.  However, it seems to be an incompatibility with some of my courses installed applications and drivers that several questions.  Microsoft support reviewed my concerns and concluded that a clean install of windows 10 would be the way to go.  Before doing this, it would be probably good get applications and drivers that will be needed after the installation.  If anyone can provide me with a list, it would be greatly appreciated.

  Most of the drivers will be updated by windows update when connected to the web.

  on the applications, I think that Acer launch Manager is required to use the Fn keys:

• HP Pavilion Notebook 15-n203ex: 10 a Windows Activation failed after clean install

  To say things in a concise way, I bought a HP Pavilion Notebook with Windows 8.1 15-n203ex 64 bit pre installed.  On July 30, 2015, I upgraded my windows 8.1 to windows 10 which was provided as a free Microsoft Update and everything went fine except for a problem of display that has been fixed after installing the latest Nvidia drivers.

  Now, after about 30 days, I thought to do a clean install to my laptop with windows 10 and so downloaded ISO appropriate and my installation. After the installation of the new operating system, it is not Activated at all no matter what I do, I get an error to enter the CD key.

  Before you do a clean install of windows 10, using scripts from the internet, I received the Windows key from the registry that is unfortunately not be accepted by windows 10 now.

  Microsoft has informed if an upgrade is done Windows 8.1 for windows 10 there is no need to have a key during installation should be the key automatically from the Bios, correct me if I'm wrong.

  Please, help me to overcome this particular problem I am facing.

  Even after 20 days Activation took place so I decided to do a brief study of the issue and find me a solution.

  I solved the problem by downloading the 8.1 Windows 64 bit iso from Microsoft's Web site and installed. During installation, surprisingly the Installer did not ask the product key. Everything went very well and immediately after the update of the firt he invited upgrade me to Windows 10 I did happily.

  There are several applications available on the internet that provides you with the windows product key 8 or 8.1 from the Bios. Neosmart found to be the most simple and free to use without any malware.

  Now, my laptop is running 64-bit Windows 10 and fully active and up to date.

  Hope that this could be useful for someone like me.

• How to speed up the process of updating after clean install

  original title: updates after a clean install

  I just performed a facility clean my machine that runs Vista Home Basic Edition and is now trying to download all the updates it has had over the past three years (ex-factory).

  However it will slowly (no surprise) and I was wondering is there something I could do to speed up the process.  Currently, I am just by clicking on start - Windows Update and let it download what they want from there.  However I have noticed saying she "Download 80 updates", it installs then say 5 of those, restarts and then says "Download 75 updates"-have I really downloaded updates and then lost 80 them, or he really download only 5?

  I also thought the oldest download first, but I can't seem to find an opption to do this - is - it possible?  It seems just stupid for me to download updates of 2010 before those of 2008 (assuming that's what he does lol!)

  All advice or pointers that would help to do that, go a little faster would be immensely appreciated.

  See you soon

  Q

  Start by installing the latest Service Pack (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935791). You'll have so far fewere updtes to install.

  Also note the following regarding your answer to the question of PA Bear "clean install has been through choice. After 3 years machine has become bloated and slow, and I decided to wipe them fresh, start over and give up unused programs that seemed a good idea at the time. » :

  In my view, it is usually a mistake. With a minimum of care, it should never be necessary to reinstall Windows (Vista or any version). I ran Windows 3.0, 3.1, WFWG 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 now, each for the period of time before the next release is out and everyone on two or more machines here. I never reinstalled none of them (with one exception--a problem that I worked on for weeks without success), and I've never had anything more than an occasional minor problem.

  It is my belief that this erroneous notion comes from the technical support people in most of the major OEMs. Their solution to almost any problem, for they know not quickly answer is "reformat and reinstall. It is the ideal solution for them. It gets you phone turned off quickly, it almost always works, and it does not need to do any real troubleshooting (a skill that most of them has obviously not in any great degree).

  But it leaves you with all the work and all the problems. You must restore all backups of your data, you must reinstall all of your programs, you must reinstall all Windows and updates of the application, you must locate and install all the necessary drivers for your system, you will need to recustomize Windows and all your applications to work the way you are comfortable with.

  In addition to all these things being long and painful, you may encounter difficulties with some of them: you will find all your CDs application? You will find all the necessary installation codes? You have data backups to restore? You still remember all the customizations and settings that can be installed to make everything work the way you like it? Sometimes there are problems that are so difficult to resolve that Windows has to be reinstalled properly. But they are few and far between; RESETTLEMENT should not be a substitute for troubleshooting; It should be a last resort, to do that once all other troubleshooting by qualified person attempts have failed.

  And perhaps most important: If you reformat and reinstall without knowing what caused your problem, you will most likely repeat the behavior that caused it and quickly find yourself in exactly the same situation.
