• Failure of the attempt to upgrade to Windows 10, can´t restore the previous operating system.

  Here's the thing: I tried to install the 10 Windows in a laptop Acer TravelMate 5742, he ran incredibly slow, beautiful instalation 3 hours or longer. But just when he was about to finish somethig happens and it tent to restore the operating system (windows 7 Enterprise.. original I think)
  It restarts and the windows welcome screen 7, I connect and BAM! a nice screen black and all I see is the mouse.

  Then I realized that the model was not really compatible with W10

  I tried to restore the system, but there was no restore points, but despite this, I get a message from antivirus who said it needed to update the virus database.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  Have you tried to make the instructions provided by mySh4d0w? Are still meet the black screen when you connect?

  If you have already tried to run a system restore but restore points are not available, another thing you can do is to start your computer in Safe Mode and check the drivers and startup programs. To do so, please follow the steps listed below:

  1. Turn on your computer and then press and hold F8 key as your computer starts. This will bring you to the Advanced Boot Optionsscreen.
  2. Press the arrow key down until it highlights the Safe Mode or Safe Mode with network and press enter.
  3. If you do not experience the black screen then on the Safe Mode, try to uninstall the graphics driver as it often causes the same scenario.
  4. Restart your computer and check if you are still affected by the same. If still the same, then try to disable startup programs by accessing the Safe Mode once more. In safe mode, press the Windows key + R > type msconfig > click OK. This will launch The System Configuration utility.
  5. Click on Startup tab > turn off or disable your startup programs > click OK > then restart your computer.

  Let us know how it goes.

  Thank you

• Want to download 10 W but not able to do that, during installation, a problem arises and the previous operating system is restored.

  My laptop is preinstalled with Windows 7 Home Basic.  At the free launch Windows 10 I downloaded the same and after 2 months, the hard drive crashed.  The repair shop trying to fix formatting, but could not revive.  This is why I bought a new hard drive and repair charge shot Windows 7 Ultimate edition.

  Now, I want to download 10 W but not able to do that, during installation, a problem arises and the previous operating system has been restored.  When I posted the question about how to solve this problem, I was told to try the download by way of USB/ISO file.

  Now my question is that

  one) can I reload Windows 7 Home basic as I have the product key?

  (b) I can then download Windows 10 according to the normal procedure?

  I'm not tech savvy, afraid to download files in USB and then load into the laptop, so this question.

  Original title: Windows 7 Home basic

  You can directly download Windows 10. Windows 7 complete edition currently installed is not genuine.

  When you upgraded from a previous version of Windows, what happened is that (your PC) hardware will get a digital right, a unique signature of the computer which is stored on the Microsoft Activation servers. The real Windows 7 or Windows 8 license you were using previously will be exchanged with a key to the diagnosis.

  Whenever you need to reinstall Windows 10 on this machine, go just to reinstall Windows 10. It automatically reactivates.

  Therefore, there is no need to know or get a product key, if you must reinstall Windows 10, you can use your Windows 7 or Windows 8 product key or use the reset function in Windows 10.

• How to free up space in a drive by deleting files hidden from the previous operating system?

  Original title: my vista home c drive now have very low free space.there is some files hidden from the previous operatnig system busy space that are useless.how can I delete these files?

  my laptop is slow due to the very low free space in c drive. How can I remove the unnecessary files from c drive or increase the volume of drive c?

  Download a program like TreeSize Free (http://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/) to see where the files take up a lot of space.  Be aware that deleting files without knowing what you're doing can cause your system to be unable to restart or cause instability can so be sure you know that you are deleting before you start.  There is no way to extend one hard disk other than to replace it, in which case you need to copy all the files from your old drive to the new.

  Uninstall windows 7 Home premium

  How to uninstall windows 7 Home premium package and re install windows vista Home premium SP1

  Given what you have...

  Get/use your Windows Vista Home Premium media (and product key) to start to go and destroy (create new partitions and format) everything that you installed and install again.

  Once you have Windows Vista Home Premium installed, get SP1 and SP2 (in order) to get Vista to update Service Pack, then get all the post-SP2 hotfixes/updates to update installed.

  You also need to locate, download, and install all the drivers for hardware devices,-either by the manufacturer of the computer as a whole (if it's a Dell, Lenovo, Gateway, HP, etc.) or by each manufacturer of components support pages (Intel, Realtek, various manufacturers of motherboard, AMD/ATI, nVidia, Broadcom, etc..)

  You can then install all other applications (office suites, photo-editing suites, video editing suites, Internet plugins, alternative browsers, Internet plugins, etc) and activate the paid applications using the appropriate series/product numbers.

  At this point, you can restore all your backups (documents, music, photos, emails, contacts, databases, spreadsheets, presentations, Favorites/internet Favorites, etc.) on the computer.

• How do I get the screen savers the previous operating system running

  Hello

  I would like to be able to run some old screensavers that come from Windows 98. Of all the screensavers Win98, some of them do not work, but others who have separate .dll files do not work in my new OS. I tried to copy their files .scr so their .dll files in C:\Windows\System32, but when I try to run I get a blank screen.

  I would appriciate help to be able to run them, or otherwise please could you let me know how to get a compatible version of these same screensavers. Screensavers are as follows:

  Screensavers Win98:

  Baseball. SCR
  dangerous creatures.SCR
  inside your computer.scr
  jungle. SCR
  Leonardo da vinci.scr
  Mystery.SCR
  nature. SCR
  Space.SCR
  Sports.SCR
  the era.scr of gold
  Travel.SCR
  Underwater.SCR

  I would appreciate your help.

  Kind regards

  Ray333

  I'm sorry, but you can't do it natively. Also be extremely careful on getting questionable sites such as Freeze.com and Screensavers.com screen savers that will install malicious software on your computer.

  If you decide to try a third party software to do this, it would be wise to image on your computer first with something like Acronis True Image, so if you break Vista irrevocably you can quickly return to a system that works.
