• Pavilion SLimline s5-1554: can I stop the Windows 10 "free" upgrade does not happen?

  I installed upgrading Windows 10 and worked well for a while. I accidentally uninstalled an update to the Intel driver and a few other programs and restarted the computer. He returned and said he had to do anther windows update - when he finished he stops. I turned again once and nothing. 2 fans to run and it sounds like HARD disk drives to start - but is not complete. Answer sheet Virgin screen, no keyboard or mouse. I went through trouble shooting HP together, removed battery CMOS, popped it (got the blue power lights come back), but still nothing else.

  Read another forum, I see where the free update to win 10 raises motherboards FRY as Μatx H-Joshua H61, 696233-001 motherboard may not consider them.  I wonder if I replace the motherboard, reload the original OS (I already bought the recovery disks from HP that I thought it was my original problem) Windows 8, if everything will be ok.

  I want to stop the automatic upgrade to win 10 again will fry the motherboard.

  Any thoughts or the next steps for action or other help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Greetings,

  I can barely stomach having a motherboard to fry due to an upgrade of the operating system.

  I guess it's possible, and if it is true, maybe it's time for a class action. You can contact MS support but they will blame HP.

  Was the Intel one driver graphics driver? Use the integrated graphics card?

  If so, you have a slot PCIex16 2.0. Buy a graphics card to modestly low price profile, plug it into the slot.

  If you added discreet graphics then remove the card and try the graphics card integrated.

  Start the PC. You can get the video.

  The motherboard has USB 2.0 supports so pulling the battery and reset CMOS using the jumper pins should correct the problems of USB 2.0.

  This nifty little program,never 10, stops Win 10 upgrades.

  You must use the same motherboard model, that you now if you want to install Windows using the HP recovery kit. The motherboard must be tattooed by HP or HP Recovery kit will fail.

  First try the graphics card option.

  See you soon!

• I bought a new computer with Windows 7 free upgrade. We also have another office.

  I bought a new computer with Windows 7 free upgrade. We also have another desktop computer. My son has paid and downloaded Windows 7 Home Premium on this computer (Asus), not knowing that I had the free update. ASUS sent me free upgrade disks. Can I use these on another desktop computer? Or I can download Windows on another desktop computer and transfer my registration to it, and then use the Asus drives on this computer?

  Your question has nothing to do with the functionality of Windows Update (vs Windows upgrade), Jan.

  That being said, Asus only can answer your specific question. Good luck!

• HP Pavilion G6 series: reset my laptop HP Pavilion G series after Windows 10 free upgrade...

  I got the upgrade for the free update to Windows 10 on my laptop and restarting the first time I noticed that all the icons and background were gone, and the only thing on the black screen was my Advanced System Care Pro Performance Monitor that is always pinned on the desk by chance, since it is the only way to restart my computer now. I have to restart my laptop 3 times until all the icons appear on the screen, then I have about 5-10 seconds quickly hitting the new button start Windows and then the settings button and quickly reached the Firefox Logo that works also fortunately still. As soon as I get these two things open the icons and background stay for a little longer (maybe 20-30 seconds) then the back ground and icons and apps start flashing in and out in what I guessed only is two operating systems compete because I can open only some things in the settings menu as (which is grayed out) Device Manager and when you click top made appear an error which reads on a missing element, well that, if the icons are still flashing the Device Manager will turn black and I am able to click on it, but I have to me it just right when his blinker on black that I have to do in 20 seconds. Also, when I try to click on the Reset button this PC I can only click on it when the icons are flashing in this second 20-30 window so I have to get there quickly.  Firefox works normally at least. I posted my question and the advice of Microsoft Community, but nobody has yet tried to answer yet. I want to know if I reset the laptop will it reset with a Windows own 10? Will be the list of all the HP and almost all applications on the things in the computer to prevent it from working because my grandmother recently passed away and left me his laptop and there not all disks with him so I can't put all the apps back on if I re. I also have a runtime error when I unplug the power cord from the laptop.  I tried different things like Legacy, new AMD Radeon drivers driver download, all the drivers are up to date, start in safe mode, from modes of different startup with only startup apps, tried to manually disable applications from devices one by one, Manager and nothing has worked or changed what is happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  http://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/3az5z1/how_to_stop_windows_10_automatically_updating/

  They say the automatic update of windows is to play with the display drivers (make them back off?) and the solution is to disable the auto update for this device driver using the method they provide and install the latest driver for windows 10 of the manufacturer.

  Insofar the restetting your pc - I have another machine and normally I will try "Refresh" through the RECOVERY WIZARD HP first before resetting and lose all my documents - if you can access the settings in windows 10 - go to 'update & security' and select «recovery' and then 'get started' below «return to windows xxxx»

  That's all I have to offer you at this stage

  Hi friends.

  I'm new to this forum.

  Wanted to know, had recently windows flash 10 indicator of free upgrade. Registered for it but for some reason, I need to reinstall my Windows 7 64 bit SP1.

  After re-installation of Windows 7 after 3 days as I have not received flag upgrade windows 10 on my system tray.

  So I would like to know, if I get the upgrade windows free 10 when it is available.

  Concerning

  C.

  There is no need to "reserve" anything.  This is purely marketing share MS to "encourage" users upgrade.  They will be happy to pass any OS eligible in the first year for free, and it will remain free for the life of the device when it was released on July 29

  There will be some ISO available when win 10 is out July 29

• 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.

  I bought the cell phone following the Friday (19/08):

  I see from the description that it is said:

  And further explained:

  "This system is preinstalled with Windows 7 Professional software and also comes with a license and support for Windows 10 Pro software. You can only use a version of the Windows software at a time. Switching between versions you need to uninstall a version and install the other version.

  However, I received no media with the laptop.

• HP Envy x 360: upgrade Windows 10 - date license expiration

  Hello

  I'm anticipating the upgrade to Windows 10 on my Hp Envy x 360, but I hesitate. The current license for Windows 8.1 does not expire over time, but Microsoft says that Windows 10 is only free for the first year.

  Could someone give some sort of guarantee that I won't have to pay for Windows 10 next year? Otherwise, I would feel really ripped off the coast.

  Thank you

  Alex

  I just wanted to add some more info to this. What follows is the issues of Windows 10 which can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-faq

  The upgrade is really free?

  Yes, it's free. It is a full version of Windows, not a trial version or initiation. It is available for a limited time: you have one year from the time 10 Windows is available to take advantage of this offer.

  Can I reinstall Windows 10 on my computer after the upgrade?

  Yes. Once you have upgraded to Windows 10 using the free upgrade offer, you will be able to reinstall, including a clean install on the same device. You will not need to buy Windows 10 or return to your previous version of Windows and upgrade again.

  You will also be able to create your own like a Flash DRIVE or a DVD installation media and use it to update your device and reinstall once you have upgraded.
