Upgrade to Windows 10 and upgrade of computer

Hello

I am currently under a license of the retail of Windows 7 Professional on my desk. I improve my card motherboard and CPU to Skylake, but won't be in my parts until the first week of August. I would like to put 10 Windows on my computer upgraded, but I know that the Windows 10 upgrade offer expires on July 29.

I prefer to do a clean reinstall disk cloning only. I do either:

1) upgraded to Win10 now, install my new parts when they arrive, then do a clean reinstall and use my new key Win10?

or

(2) keep Win7 for now, install my new parts when they arrive, try a clean reinstall with a USB bootable Win10 and use my old key Win7?

Also, if I have a retail version of Win7 Pro am I'm going to have problems when I do a clean reinstall on my new motherboard and CPU?

My computer is running Windows 7 or Windows 8, but I don't want to upgrade right now. Is there anyway that I can always get the free update without missing?

See the following: free Windows upgrade on schedule 10 to July 29, 2016 - what are your options?

  • Problems with the installation of windows updates and reboot the computer

    When you try to restart the computer it freezes on "installation updates.do not turn off computer.". Currently have 20 updates which will not be installed. computer says CCC.exe prevents the computer from restarting and getting error code 80240016 when you try to install the updates

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    See if this helps you:

    Search for malware, if necessary using the safe mode with networking.

    Using the F8 method:

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with the Boot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
    3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
    4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
    5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
    6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

    Once in Safe Mode with network, download and run RKill.

    RKill does NOT remove the malware; It stops the Malware process that gives you a chance to remove it with your security programs.

    It would be a good idea to run the System File Checker tool to see if you have corrupted files

    "How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the files on system missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7"

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

      The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    If SFC detects serious flaws, you may need to perform a repair upgrade Installation or relocation complete if you don't have a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

    If you can borrow a DVD of Vista from Microsoft you save doing a reinstall full:

  • I need to change the OS between my 2 computers (Windows XP and 7) where I can download the necessary files?

    I have a laptop with a valid license of Windows 7 and a desktop computer with a valid XP license. I think I would get more use from 7, if it was on my desk and would be willing to downgrade my laptop to XP (it runs very slowly regardless). However because I bought the laptop with Windows 7 installed I have a Windows 7 disc. Where can I download or order a new copy of the disc?

    UPDATE: The license I have is for Windows 7 Home Professional.
    UPDATE: The license I have is for Windows 7 Home Professional.

    There is no such thing as 'Friendly' - it is Home Premium or Professional.

    As others have said - if your copy of WIndows came pre-installed, then they are OEM editions which cannot be transferred to another computer in all circumstances.

    You can buy a license to upgrade to WIndows 7 for use on your desktop - but I suggest that you run upgrade first Advisor to ensure that the material can support the operating system properly.

    Insofar as your laptop is slow, it's usually because of too much loading at startup, or malware.

    Do you have an anti-virus installed up-to-date? When was the last time you ran a full system scan?

    You have all the other anti-malware installed apps?

    Check what programs are loaded at startup - and which are loaded as Add - ons for Internet Explorer. Use the options in the program to stop everything you must actually run at startup (you can test temproarily using MSCONFIG, but use the options of the program for more permanent effects.)

  • My Security Center cannot see that my Windows Defender and Kaspersky PURE are active, how to fix this?

    Whenever I invoke the turn on now, he fails to get the updates (if the Defender is out of date) or it's up-to-date (because I've updated through the Defender on the interface). Regarding anti-virus, Security Center reports that Kaspersky PURE (obviously running not far from the clock on the toolbar) is / was not found. You can see in the screenshot below. Please note that Kaspersky PURE runs (lower right corner of the image) despite Security Center claiming otherwise.

    Is there something wrong with the part of my Vista operating system or what? How I solved this 'blindness' of the Security Center? Thank you.

    According to this link, you should not use Kaspersky Pure and Windows Defender on the same computer: http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208281579

    Try disabling Windows Defender and restart the computer.

  • What I forbid my computer before you upgrade to Windows 10 and the format remains the same?

    I don't want to do the free update for Windows 10 and I don't want to know that I should have cancelled the computer before doing so.  Then iTunes sees this as a new computer and I have to reauthorize the 10 version of windows.

    Withdraw the authorization before upgrade you. He can do no wrong. The library itself should be preserved through the upgrade but see your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy library backup to get advice on the backup of your library and other data. You should back up regularly and particularly before any major change to the system.
