• Upgrade Windows 7 to 8 leaves too many problems - is a new installation required?

  I spent literally the last 3 weeks by train to improve our 9 PCs from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and I have an incredible number of problems.

  For example:

  1 updates fail and return to Windows 7, unless all 3rd party drivers are uninstalled (Windows Update drivers are OK) and most of the software that contains services that interact with the material are uninstalled (such as CPU - Z, PC-Wizard, etc.).  Note that the Windows Upgrade Wizard indicates that these programs and drivers are OK (latest versions at least) it becomes an effort of trial and error to figure out what needs to be uninstalled to start successfully in Windows 8.

  2. I moved (using the folder properties supported ' location' tab) download for all users folder in the shared c:\users\public\downloads folder in Windows 7.  During the update the permissions folder become corrupted with the latest user created on the PC Windows 7, ending up as the only user with the permissions to read/write to this public folder.  The structure of NTFS in Windows 8 is damaged at this point and it '' believes '' the public downloads folder inherits permissions from user created c:\users\{last} instead of c:\users\public and is unable to change them.  I had to use icalcs substitute all c:\users\public file permissions manually down to allow other users to access the public download folder.  Check the hard drive (even to force a full audit) does not correct the inconsistent file permissions.

  3. the c:\users\public folder is shared even if a public share is off, but it is shared corrupt (read-only, but no remote users can actually access it and cannot be modified or deleted).  Change the 'sharing public folders' option has no effect.  Same "net share" may not change or see even the share of existing corruption.  I'm not able to create a sharing of this folder (results in an error message), or delete the existing share.  This problem is present on every PC, I've updated so far.

  4 family Safety is damaged and unusable.  Windows Live Family Safety has been one of the applications that caused the upgrade fails, then it has been uninstalled directly before the upgrade to Windows 8.  Unfortunately, this seems to leave Windows 8 in a State of dysfunction in security for the family.  I've been using an online id to log on to my children and this seems to have enabled temporarily family safety but not totally.  Unfortunately, the only way to make changes is the local PC as the fss.live.com site is no longer synchronizes with any of my Windows 8 PC (if I pass local ID and online, it syncs once).  Also delays no longer work and my children can stay on their PC, as long as they like.  I spent hours scouring the Web for a solution and other that "refresh the PC" or http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/essentials-2012-release-notes?T1=winlivefamilysafety I have not found a solution (I've not updated the PCs).

  5 Windows 8 apps don't work for one of my children on all accounts the PC but works very well for adult administrator accounts.  I tried everything from wsreset.exe, creation of new user accounts, temporarily making kids accounts administrator, uninstall, and reinstall, all apps, switching back and forth between accounts ID base and online local, etc manually.  Sometimes, that I managed to get re-installed applications to work temporarily, but after an opening session and closing session or possibly another user by connecting on the apps again fail (in failure, I mean it seems they start and then just close without an error message).  Even the app store is messed up for some users, in what he repeats to me it can not load the store, then, after pressing 'try again', it loads only a small subset of the store.  Also when I look at the apps installed (in the store) it shows nothing is installed and nothing is bought (not same mobiles which was installed by the same user on another PC of Windows 8; well on the other PC of Windows 8, they arise).

  6 folder and registry permissions are changed in many places and this causes some games to stop working.  Manually uninstall and reinstall the game solves the problem by opening of also manually security on folders and registry entries.  I assumed that the process of upgrading resets all the folder permissions and registry, but some older software requires write access to the folder 'program files' specific in order to update the configuration files, etc., and the upgrade process breaks it.

  7. any user that office has been moved (using the tab "location" supported in the method properties) has no read access to their workstation after authentication and Windows Explorer will not start (when you click on "desktop").  I had to delete and recreate the users, or manually change the folder permissions.

  8. users where their documents, photos and videos have been moved to a second hard drive (again using methods officially supported in Windows 7) end up with all sorts of issues such as incorrect file permissions, Windows 8 apps do not work until the user is deleted and recreated, etc..

  8. the problems seem to continue to go on and on.  Each day we discover a new broken feature that must be manually fixed one way or another and I lose all of my time to research on the web and try to resolve these problems.

  Unfortunately I still failed to operate Family Safety, nor have I managed to get Windows 8 job applications (more there are many other minor things that are broken, such as some items in Control Panel do not work, etc.) and officials "tips from Microsoft" seem to be "cool PC".  Unfortunately this is essentially a new installation of the operating system, as far as I'm concerned, because previously all installed software must be reinstalled manually.  I tried this on a PC (after saving) and I've always found that I had delete and recreate my children's accounts to get Windows 8 applications work.

  At this point I don't know what to do and how to proceed.  As a 'Christmas gift' we 'bought' Windows 8 for the world and I had planned to take advantage of the $39.99 special and free Media Center/Bitlocker/etc. addition which is available only until January 31.  Unfortunately, the upgrade process has been nothing less than a nightmare total and at this stage, I believe the following will produce:

  1. I need to break down and perform a new installation of Windows 8 on every single PC followed by reinstall all software and reconfigure all the user accounts, family safety, etc.  Otherwise realistically me uninterrupted work on all of this for the rest of the month (something that I don't really have time for).

  2 Microsoft needs to release updates of Windows 8, which allows to improve the level of experience and greatly improves the installation of Windows 8 resulting.

  3. I have abandon on the installation of Windows 8 at the moment, but I can't justify paying $269 - $469 in the future for Windows 8, so we'll probably with Windows 7, until we buy new computers.  I guess another partial option is to buy Windows 8 for $39.99 for each PC and then to later pay another $70 for the upgrade of Media Center/Bitlocker/etc. (currently we use Media Center on every single PC with 3 of our PCs being devoted to Media Center full-time and the rest operating as 'customers').

  Is there any hope that #2 is going to happen or Microsoft 'done' with the upgrade and will continue to recommend a "refresh" after an upgrade to solve problems?

  I've tried a fresh install of Windows 8 on a different partition with 5 of the 9 PC and it went flawless and very quickly (in less than an hour, I had all 5 upwards and running Windows 8 - although without additional software installed, no user accounts configured, etc.) so I know that it will work.  With one of these installs I have experimented with Windows 8 for a few days (and that my children and wife home to test) to confirm that everything seems to work properly, including applications of Windows 8, the installation of some of our software, etc..  Based on this, I think that all the questions that we are experiencing are caused by a routine upgrade of Windows 8 very fragile, not by the base Windows 8 operating system.

  I should also mention, I have backups of the installed Windows 7 original and I tried to restore and re-upgrade several times and even if I can improve things (returning to download default folder locations, additional software uninstall, etc.). I can't get Windows 8 apps working on my children's accounts, nor good difficulty number other issues (such as security for the family, permissions of file corrupted for some software, etc.).  Whenever I try it takes at least 4 hours, so I gave up trying to figure a way to upgrade "functional" at this stage.

  Thank you

  Steve

  I realize that Microsoft recommends customers perform a 'Refresh' on their upgrades of Windows 8 to solve many problems, but it is not a path I am willing to travel. I experiment in the updating of a PC, and as you say this has resolved most of the issues (even if once again, Windows 8 apps stopped working a few days later).

  This resulted in the continuation of the process of upgrading for our family PCs (steps 9 to 33 are the steps in upgrade of base):

  1. Restore our latest backup of Windows 7 (before the upgrade to Windows 8). If still running Windows 7, perform a full backup.
  2. Make sure that the latest virus signatures are installed for the installed Antivirus (Microsoft Security Essentials in our case currently) software and run a full scan of the system.
  3. Download Windows 8 drivers for the hardware.
  4. Possibly find enough disk space to create a partition to restore the existing installation of Windows 7 (which just saved) to. This can be on a second drive or disk manager can be used to reduce an existing partition to create a new partition large enough to restore Windows 7. Restore Windows 7 for the new partition, and then name the new volume with a unique name (for example, TempWin7). EasyBCD to add partition newly restored to the Windows boot loader. Starting system test and make sure that the drive root (usually C:\) uses the new volume (check the drive c. name (this way if Windows 8 does not work you can return to Windows 7 easily.)) Finally, when you do know that Windows 8 is not working properly you can delete this volume). Note on my ~ 8th update attempt on the 2nd PC I was upgrade the upgrade has failed and left the system with a MBR corrupted with no way to start it. The MBR has been so badly damaged that the process of repair of Windows 7 and Windows 8 could not solve the problem. Same bootrec /fixmbr /fixboot, bcdboot c:\windows, bootsec all/force/MBR bootrec, etc. were not able to get a bootable system. I ended up performing a new installation of Windows 8 on another hard drive and then I added step 5 below to my list of upgrade tasks to ensure that I didn't not get stuck like this again).
  5. If the PC contains more than 1 hard drive and they are not all used in a hardware RAID, use EasyBCD to install the bootloader of Windows on the second/third hard disk and configure the boot loader to boot from the hard drive with all the bootable partitions configured (this provides a work around to get the operating system if the Windows 8 upgrade process fails and translates by a unbootable system).
  6. Download and run the tool TDSSKiller Rootkit, GMER Rootkit detection tool, Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit and Anti-Malware Malwarebytes to make sure there are no hidden rootkits or malware installed. Uninstall all the installed utilities.
  7. Uninstall all software known to cause trouble (both reported using the upgrade wizard, search on the web and attempts to upgrade Windows-based 8 prior who does not).
  8. Once complete scanning, starting test the computer while forcing the BIOS to boot from the disk hard other to make you that there is an available alternative starting method.
  9. Uninstall Live Essentials 2011.
  10. Installing Live Essentials 2012 (this is because they have seen many cases where Windows 8 fails to migrate settings of Live Essentials 2011 properly and leaves you with a dysfunctional state that requires an update of the system for safety of work; Live Essentials 2012 is apparently able to migrate settings from 2011 and 8 Windows upgrade can apparently works with Live Essentials 2012 settings).
  11. Start Live parental controls and run through the configuration steps (without necessarily making changes) to ensure that the settings are migrated from the Live Essentials 2011.
  12. Sign in using each account monitored by parental control and after that the drive stop loading of applications, log off.
  13. Log on with an administrator account and uninstall Live Essentials 2012.
  14. Uninstall all anti-malware and anti-virus software and unplug the network cable
  . If security software Norton has been used, download Norton Removal Tool before uninstalling it and after using the program manager to uninstall, run the removal tool (note that Norton fails to remove certain services when you use the program to uninstall Manager that caused the Windows upgrade process 8 fail on one of our PCs other AV software may have similar problems).
• Activate Microsoft Defender and Windows Firewall.
• Uninstall everything about software and software which includes services that interact with the hardware or virtual hardware.
• Uninstall all 3rd third-party drivers that are specifically designed to interact with the user and if possible only to install the drivers for "Windows Update". If not available, install just the naked driver for the device or leave the unit without a driver during the upgrade process, if it is not critical manually.
• Uninstall the video driver ATI, including the Catalyst Control Center software (even if the driver is listed as support Windows 7 and Windows 8, CCC upgrade breaks and leaves the system with the dysfunctional video settings in Windows 8)
. Allow Windows Update to install the basic video driver only or install manually only the video base by using the device manager driver.
• If all user folders have been moved in Windows 7, move them back to the default locations. For example we moved the documents, photos, videos and office on a secondary hard drive on some PC and these user accounts is damaged because of this sequel to the upgrade of Windows 8. We also move all folders download user to c:\user\public\downloads and this too must be moved to the location of the individual user (c:\user\{user}\downloads) before the upgrade because it causes corruption of NTFS security after the upgrade to Windows 8.
• Perform an upgrade on-site (repair) of Windows 7 SP1 to Windows 7 SP1 to upgrade the operating system in a known and stable state. Note that this must be done with a DVD of Windows 7 SP1 RTM and slipstream not updated media, nor can it be done with a DVD of Windows 7 without SP1.
• If necessary, connect the network cable and install all updates using Windows Update critical update (note, officially, it is recommended that the system is fully updated before you attempt to upgrade to Windows 8, but technical support suggests why a clean Windows 7 SP1 install with a few critical updates which should install automatically if updates to the installer of Windows 8 are enabled during the process) at level).
• Optionally, install the latest Microsoft System (KB947821) tool. If an upgrade on the spot did not it is a critical step, but with the upgrade on the spot, it should be redundant and not required (this tool checks the status of the update of the operating system and makes sure that every file that is supposed to be updated through any installed update is updated. He then sets up Windows Update to install or reinstall incompatible updates may not be correct).
• Installing Live Essentials 2012 (it is not clear if this step is necessary, but apparently the upgrade in-place to Windows 7 can potentially cause of parental control settings enter an inconsistent state).
• Connect the network cable and using an administrator account set up parental controls.
• Log in using accounts controlled by parental control
. Once the disk activity subsides, sign out.
• By using an administrator account uninstall Live Essentials 2012.
• Run a chkdsk /f on the drive system and start-up and restart.
• Connect the network cable (if it is disconnected) and perform an upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8 on-site, ensuring that the post-installation updates are enabled during the process and that there is an Internet connection.
• Activate and install the Media Center add-on by using the same key used in the previous attempt to upgrade to Windows 8.
• "Turn Windows Features on / off" enables the Hyper-V instead of Virtual PC and XP Mode (even if Virtual PC and XP Mode have been installed and being used in Windows 7, the upgrade process uninstalls them and does not allow for Hyper-V, which is the replacement of Windows 8).
• Updates by using Windows Update, select all the recommended and the optional updates (deselect everything, you don't want such as Bing Office; right click and hide updates you don't want), click 'Install' to start the download. Allow the download and install updates before proceeding to the next step.
• Install Windows 8 3rd part drivers If Windows 8 specific drivers are available and desired. This includes installing the latest video driver for Windows 8.
• Connect with each user and pass to a Microsoft Account to activate parental control. Open a session out and back in.
• The Bank of Windows startup, click on in the upper right corner and update all installed applications which have updates available.
• Restart the Windows store, right click and select the installed applications. Install all of the applications associated with the Microsoft Account, you already have installed (and want to install). Do this for each user.
• Configure Hyper-V to replace Virtual PC to virtual operating systems.
• Install a previously uninstalled like cell phone software, CPU - Z, EasyBCD software, etc. (as long as it supports Windows 8).
• EasyBCD allows to set up the dual boot or triple (most of our PC have MCE2005 (XP), Vista and Windows 7 on separate partitions or units).

I stressed step 20 above, because the technical support said they find that this step can make a significant improvement in the final Windows 8 upgrade results. Without the Windows 7 upgrade (repair) inplace before the upgrade to Windows 8, he said that they have poor results that require an update of the system to get things to work. By adding this step, step Live Essentials 2012 associated, by ensuring more 3rd third-party drivers are uninstalled, uninstalled all the 3rd party software that interacts with the hardware and all records are found in their locations by default, the upgrade process is apparently much more likely to result in a closing fully functional install Windows 8. Unfortunately, told me that they always have problems with some PCs, even after all the above, and that is why a new installation is always the best approach. They also said that until that antivirus makers improve their compatibility Windows 8 it is better to stick with the software antivirus from Microsoft that is built into Windows 8 and not install any AV 3rd party software.

Anyone have any additional suggestions or disagree with the installation steps above? Although it is a lot of work, if it is, it will be much easier than a new installation and I already spent 100's of hours trying to get Windows 8 to upgrade properly and 100's of hours trying to clean upgrades corrupt I end up with (with only partial success).

I have a total of 11 PC, I tried to upgrade to Windows 8 and so far I have 2 semi-functional updated of (with control parental does not not work and Windows 8 Apps doesn't work is not for non-administrator accounts). For the moment, I restored Windows 7 (reconfigured the Boot Manager to start Windows 7 instead of Windows 8) with the 4 other PCs ended up broke after trying to upgrade to Windows 8.

IT WORKED!

Finally, I updated 2 PCs from Windows 7 to Windows 8 with parental control and applications of Windows 8 works for all users and I didn't have to mess with security of folder or the registry, difficulty missing junctions or mess around with anything to get this working.  In addition, for the first time, I didn't need to perform a refresh and reinstall all software (programs and features shows 187 programs installed to a PC and the other has more than 200).  So far, looks absolutely everything works (even if I did have enough time to ensure that the reports of parental control and all safety features are 100% still works but it doesn't look like it will).

The bad news is that it took 8 hours to upgrade each PC because of the number of steps (compared to the hundreds of hours lost trying to get the previous corrupt Windows 8 updates work properly, it was easy).  In the future, I'll work on several computers at the same time to speed things up.  Upgrading Windows 7 on Windows 7 on-site took several hours alone, but I think that this step is crucial to get an upgrade of Windows 8 fully functional (Technical Support of Microsoft agent I talked to strongly recommended this step and said that it was necessary to upgrade his personal computer Windows 7 to Windows 8 also).

Now I have 9 PCs to go.  For PCs with a minimum software installed and with a rootkit, I will perform a new installation but the rest I'm going to use this procedure.

The next challenge is to get enough key to install Media Center on each of them.

• Pavilion 6650z: upgrade Windows 10

  I was wondering if an upgrade to Windows 7 SP 1 Windows 10 could prove useful. My desktop computer Pavilion meets all the hardware requirements to run Win 10. It's a CTO in January 2011.

  I've already tried an update to Win 10 on-site the weekend of the new year, earlier this year. While the update process, the indexing for my Corel Photo Paint Shop Pro X 3 process lasted several hours with no end in sight. It is at this time that I decided to go back to Windows 7. Could not find the link "back to the previous Windows" in the Windows 10 settings, I used my system recovery disks to reinstall factory on my Pavilion.

  Before considering a new attempt to upgrade Windows 10, I would like to know if it's worth my time and effort to install Win 10. Also, I would like to know which is better: an upgrade in place against the clean install.

  I read Windows 7 machines that met in the hardware configuration required to win 10 has failed as well in the upgrade process, that the results are mixed at best.

  Thanks for your help.

  You are right to be cautious about making the upgrade of Win10 on a Win7 PC.

  I did it on several\ PC Win7 and it completely trashed both of them - where they were to be restored to factory settings to restore operation.

  I wrote the following to inform people about the measures to be taken during the upgrade PC Win7 to Win10...

  Desktop computers older Win7 tend to fare badly when upgraded to Win10 - mainly due to lack of HP Win10 drivers for older hardware.
  
  If you are determined to upgrade to Win10, you must be willing to do four things:
  (1) do a full image backup of disk external drive or USB stick, capacity
  (2) changes to the reserved system partitioning hard disk recommandΘes mΘthodes,
  (3) use a different approach and maybe more than one, as Windows Update to do the upgrade,
  (4) prepare for a clean install.
  
  ---------------------------------
  1: backup of images:
  This is VITAL, because the machine is doomed to failure of the upgrade, and when that happens, you will learn that GoBack to Win10 function is NOT reliable, and that can leave you with a corrupt machine that will require the factory reset and lose all that on it, to get it working again.
  
  You can avoid this by making an image backup to an external hard drive or a USB drive using Macrium reflect (MR), which provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.
  
  What I recommend is the following:
  (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
  (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
  (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key
  
  NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.
  ---------------------------------
  2: System reserved for resizing:
  There is a small partition on the HDD with Win7 preinstalled machines known as system reserved.  It is something known as the boot loader code.  There is 100 MB format: all that is necessary for Win7.  But Win10 needs 350 MB and, in some cases, is NOT able to resize it on its own.  IF this happens, you must manually use a partitioning tool to resize it yourself.
  ---------------------------------
  3: use a different approach to upgrade:
  Windows Update is the simpler, but less reliable, way to do the upgrade from Win10.  A much better and more reliable way is to use Microsoft Media creation tool: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install?ocid=ms_wol_win10 choose the upgrade this option now PC.
  
  After all this, you know that MS install drivers with only the most basic features.  Given that HP does not have drivers for your PC Win10, this limited functionality is the best you're going to get.  HP does not actively write new drivers from Win10 for the old PC Win7.  To keep all the features of your PC, your best shot is NOT to upgrade to Win10.
  ---------------------------------
  4: be prepared to clean-install:
  If you do all this, and after the upgrade, your PC works partially, this means that the upgrade is not well and stuff is still there the previous OS corrupt the functionality of Win10.
  
  You MIGHT be able to solve the problem in fact a clean install of Win10. Problem is that, often, a clean-install does not recognize prior activation, even if it should. So, before doing the upgrade, follow these instructions on the community forums Win10 on creating a genuineticket.xml file: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/23354-clean-install-windows-10-directly-without-having-upgrade-first.html
  
  You need more later to activate your pc Win10 after the installation of clean.

• HP Pavilion x 2 10-n011nl (Suns: laptop locked after upgrade windows 10)

  Two days ago, I bought a HP Pavilion x 2 (red sunset) 10-n011nl and immediately I started upgrading Windows 10. This medication is ok (no error message), but the first new starting system, the machine is in a loop! Only a black screen with white logo of HP and animation circular points. It is impossible to stop this, none CTRL-ALT-DEL or other. I have to wait for low battery condition (more then 6 hours!).

  And even once, he repeats the loop.

  What can I do?

  Thanks in advance

  Because it is new, maybe start to type Esc as soon as you press the button start.  That should bring up a menu before starts the boot process.  In this menu, click F11 to run the recovery.  Who will restore the PC to 'new factory' and retry the upgrade of Windows 10.  You might want to try the media creation tool page, if it fails again.

  I have a Windows 7 Fujitsu Lifebook (5 years). I tried to update to Windows 10 without success. Finally after a Windows7 update and then upgrade Windows 10. Success! Remotely, the company THAT THIS guy decided that I had to update W10, now all I get is "failure in the snp nonpaged area - uvc.sys" the laptop then restarts auto and trying again and again. Looking at updates successfully I see there's a Windows 10 call successful as well as failed. I did a reset to, but who brought me back to Windows 7.  That's life.  However, when I close I now get an error called "LogonUI.exe - Bad Image C:\Windows\system32\LMIinit.dll if the other is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error."

  I have directly from Lenovo Lenovo T420 bought end of 2011 which began recently to show the message that its not running Genuine Windows.  He fails to pass the validation test.  He also stopped treatment of the Windows updates since December 15, 2014.  All fail with the error 800706F7.  I don't know if that is related to the failure of the validation.  I would like to get the Windows validation problem all solved first guess that they may be related.  Is attached a copy of the report full diag.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Update: called Microsoft validation and validation of phone attempt to id software.  Has been informed by the agent that the product ID has been blocked by Lenovo.  Suggested I upgrade Windows, purchase a new license or call Lenovo.  Release with support from Lenovo and told me that they have no way to block a product code.  Suggested I try an upgrade of BIOS or reload the operating system.  Have you the BIOS upgrade result has not changed.  Also updated the driver Intel Rapid Storage, but again no change on the system.  Read messages where that fixed similar symptoms).  Latest report of diag is the same as that posted here. Operation of the system with the exception of the issue with the message on non-genuine software and updates of Windows does not not error code 800706F7.  Looking for more information.

  Update: 2/29/2015 KB3004394 was not as installed on this system.  I ran a system scan and it shows the following missing components. There are several entries in the CBS for the latter.  I have included only the first two entries in the newspaper here.

  2015-02-26 14:44:51, CSI 00000031 [SR] (F) component not found error: Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Client, Version 6.1.7600.16385, pA = PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_AMD64 = (9), Culture neutral, VersionScope = 1 nonSxS, PublicKeyToken = {l:8 b:31bf3856ad364e35}, Type neutral, TypeName neutral, PublicKey neutral [gle = 0 x 80004005]
  2015-02-26 14:44:52, CSI 00000033 (F) [SR] component not found error: Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Client, Version = 6.1.7600.16385, pA = PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_INTEL (0), Culture neutral, VersionScope = 1 nonSxS, PublicKeyToken = {l:8 b:31bf3856ad364e35}, Type neutral, TypeName neutral, PublicKey neutral [gle = 0 x 80004005]

  Last update: after trying the suggested corrections that have failed, I did a complete system restore.  Too bad the updated Microsoft corrupted the system.  System is operating normally and is more pointed out the error of "Genuine Windows" and updates are being processed. KB3004394 is not installed.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

  According to the description of the problem, you can not install Windows updates and get a non-genuine mistake. As you have mentioned that this whole issue started since 15 December, so there might be a chance that some updates to move that could cause the problem.

  The KB 3004394 which was dated December 10, 2014 update can cause additional problems on computers that run Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. This includes the inability to install future updates. This new update is available to remove KB 3004394 from your computer. Thus, there could be a chance that this update is installed on your computer that is causing the problem.

  According to my research and findings that I got to know only after you have installed the Microsoft KB3004394 update that was released on December 10, 2014 and Microsoft has disabled since the relevant updates. Some systems also provided a Windows is "not authentic" error caused by the same update.

  So try to remove this update of the updates installed, if it is installed and hide so that it can be installed in the future of its own. You can check the link below to complete the task.

  Remove an update

  You can see the below mentioned steps to hide an update.

  1. Click on start.

  2. Now click on all programs.

  3. And then click Windows Update or Microsoft Update.

  4. Now, click on custom.

  5. Click to clear the check box next to the update KB3004394 .

  6. Expand the KB3004394 update you want to hide, and then click the checkbox "don't show me this update again".

  7. Click review and install updates.

  For more information please refer to the suggestion of José Antonio answered the February 10, 2012.

  Additional information:

  You can see the thread mentioned below for details on the error message and the resolution.

• HOW CAN I UPGRADE WINDOWS 8 FOR WINDOWS 8.1 PRO.

  HOW CAN I UPGRADE WINDOWS 8 FOR WINDOWS 8.1 PRO. WHEN I CLICK ON ADD FEATURES TO MY SA COMPUTER ASKING FOR THE PRODUCT KEY. I DO NOT KNOW THE PRODUCT KEY DELL MANUFACTURING DIRECTLY INSTALLED IN MY SYSTEM. SO HOW CAN I SPEND?

  How can I know the product key to install the features?

  Note: Tests of Windows 8.1 Preview (warning)

  It was clear that test the preview Windows 8.1 will not as simple and involve certain prerequisites.

  Do not install it on a machine or production start-up disk.

  Microsoft Senior Product Marketing Manager Michael Niehaus reiterated this message in the RT in the session of the company Tuesday. When the preview 8.1 is available, Windows 8 and Windows RT users will receive a notification from Windows Update. This update will trigger the new bits will appear in the Windows store, where potential testers will be able to read the description and choose to install or not.

  Once the final versions of Windows 8.1 are available, after their release to manufacturing, those who have downloaded the preview will get the same Windows Update and the Windows Store notification. While their data and their accounts will be kept if and when they choose to install version 8.1 free, final, all their applications must be reinstalled, said Niehaus.

  Even if the testers are opting instead to restore their Windows 8 devices after you install the bits of the preview, they will still have to reinstall their applications once they move to the RTM of Windows 8.1 version.

  Windows 8 users who do not install the preview build and opt instead to go directly from Windows 8/Windows RT for Windows 8.1 will not reinstall their applications. All parameters, data and applications will be postponed, a spokesman said when I asked. Users will be able to decide when and if they want to switch from Windows 8 and Windows RT to the 8.1 versions, officials stressed.

  How to prepare:

  Backup of your system before:

  http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/24/how-to-backup-your-installation-of-Windows-7/

  See the following article from Microsoft MVP JW Stuart on how to make a backup of an installation of Windows XP here using Acronis True Image here

  Alternatively, you can use for backup of Windows XP is Easeus backup, JW Stuart also has an article about it here

  These same principles should work for the people who are running Windows Vista.

  If you run editions such as Windows Vista Business, Enterprise or Ultimate Edition, you can use the built in backup of the computer of your Vista installation. This can be very handy in case of failure of your installation of Windows 8. For instructions on how to use the backup of the computer, see article following here. Of course, you'll need an external hard drive for this task.

  Create a partition:

  http://notebooks.com/2011/02/25/how-to-create-a-simple-partition-in-Windows-7-quick-tip/

  Dual boot:

  See instructions for dual boot based on the installation of the Windows 8 previews, the same principles will work for Windows 8.1 Preview:

  How dual boot Windows XP and Windows 8

  How dual boot Windows Vista/7 and Windows 8

  Use the Virtual Machine software:

  This method is recommended if you have a powerful enough processor and plenty of memory.

  You can use alternatives such as Oracle VirtualBox or VMWare Player.

  https://www.VirtualBox.org/wiki/downloads

  VMware Player;

  http://downloads.VMware.com/d/details/player_401/dGpkYnRwd3didGRwQA==

  If you are running Windows 8 Pro on a computer with the support of SLAT second layer of address translation, you can use the built in Hyper-V which comes with Windows 8 Pro edition.

• Screen resolution low host, guest of Win2k, Workstation 8, impossible to upgrade windows install

  Installed a dinosaur Win2K under my work station 8.  Display stuck at 640 x 480 resolution. 16 colors.

  Tried to specify the settings of the monitor, no luck. Found everyone else to install VMWare tools

  but when I did, I got "Setup was unable to upgrade windows install" in

  The VMWare product Installation dialog box.

  Display the size of a postcard at low cost. Barely bigger than my smartphone. This way of working is feeling

  like changing the valves of the engine through the exhaust pipe.

  Sad having to load Win2K again, but have no choice at the moment...

  Any ideas out there?

  Hi CanuckWare,

  VMware Tools works on Win2K but it requires at least that Service Pack 4 installed in the comments.  If you haven't already done so, try to update your VM on SP4, and then repeat the installation of the VMware Tools.

  See you soon,.

• Direct Download of Production Premium CS6 (upgrade / Windows) still possible?

  Hi all -

  Can I download CS6 Prod Premium (upgrade / Windows) without using a download manager?

  I've seen links to the ProDesignTool site, but someone has them used recently? They appear outdated - or put to day I should say as they take you to the CC of Adobe pages.

  So is it still possible to get CS6 Prod Prem upgrade without the help of the Adobe Download Manager?

  Thank you!

  If you follow the 7 steps, you can dl a free trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html

  and activate it with your serial number.

  If you have a problem with dl, you don't follow all 7 steps.  as a general rule, a failure to meticulously follow steps 1, 2 or 3 is the problem.

• Pavilion d61 40f PC: upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 (64-bit)

  I am trying to upgrade Windows Vista Edition Home Premium to Windows 7 (64 bit) on an older machine.  In order to go forward the installation, I get the message that I need to uninstall the following programs: Business Manager and Anti-Malware Core.  I looked under "programs" and "programs" on my C: drive, but I can't find any progams by those names.

  Can someone tell me what I should look for, and where/how do I uninstall these files?

  I am a novice and would appreciate your help in simple language. Thank you very much!

  What you have is a rogue malware. Get the free Malwarebytesand scan.  During installation, you will see one already ticked box (trial) enabled. Just uncheck that.

  Do you find more infoarmations why the upgrade couldn't t do?

  On the Toshiba site I found a upgrade step-by-step instruction that might be useful:
