• Windows does not start after changing the partition with external software

  Hello

  I messed up and followed some bad advice.  Water under the bridge, but I want to recover my bootcamp partition if possible.  I've seen several messages with the right process, but decided to post hear instead of assumptions.  I am running OS X El Capitan on an early 2011 MacBook Pro.  My 256 GB SSD is a bit pressed and tried to be too stingy with the Boot Camp partition, so my current troubles after resizing.  I have 10 Windows on the bootcamp partition.

  I'm going to throw a bunch of data from my survey here.

• Pavilion p6-2133w: upgrade Windows 10 Pro activation after replacing the processor and motherboard

  I upgraded a Pavilion P6 W10 Pro in September. Everything was going well until the motherboard and processor failed. When I replaced the hardware I am prompted to activate Windows - I have the product key for Windows 7 Home Prem OA office machine that does not work for W10 Pro. I don't know how W10 Pro ran six months and support MS insists I do decline to W10. Two questions.

  1 how W10 differ from the W10 Pro?
  2. How is this W10 Pro could have been improved in Windows 7 Home Prem OA? Looks like a decoy on the BONE.

  Greetings,

  The replacement of the mother/CPU card can be extra monkey wrench in this situation.

  You cannot use a key of Win 7 Home on Win 10 Pro.

  You will need to install Win 10 and then move on to Win 10 Pro. Win 10 going to Win 10 percent if you had an activated copy of win 10 Pro.

  1. other features such as BitLocker and domain join.

  2. I have no idea how you've gone from Win 7 Home win 10 Pro. Were you a BETA-Tester (Windows Insider program)? I upgraded from Win 7 to win 10 Pro, because I was a BETA-Tester,

  I just did a clean install of Windows 10 Pro but ignored the input of the product key. Windows activated, but not right away.

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  While Microsoft says there is no risk in the upgrade of Win10, because they allow you to believe that you can always return to your BONES and the original installation program within 30 days, the ugly fact of the matter is that the Win10 GoBack feature turned out to be unreliable - and when she fails, she can let machines in a State corrupted - that does not always happen , but it happens often enough to be a problem and you will get no warning beforehand that he goes to the trash your PC!
  
  If this is not enough, the Win10 upgrade is known, in some cases, corrupt partition recovery stored by the OEM that built the original machine. It's pretty much guarantee that no HP recovery will work.

  What will work restores your computer to its original factory state using HP recovery media.
  
  It is a set of DVD and a CD or a USB key, which will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP. In some cases, you will be able to order a USB instead of discs.  You must order at HP; they cannot be downloaded.
  
  You can look online for recovery from the paged media related: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers
  
  Once there, enter your product name or number. On your software page and download the drivers, select your operating system and version. Click on "Update".  If the HP recovery support is available for your computer, down near the bottom of the page, you will see an entry for the command Recovery Media-CD/DVD/USB. Click on the symbol '+' to expand this entry and click on order to press for more details.
  
  Or, if you prefer, you can do the same by contacting HP Customer Service:
  
  If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1
  
  If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html
  
  NOTE: once you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to someone ' one - it can take a while!

  If HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you can check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

  Good luck

• How to remove the upgrade Windows 7 Professional of D:-drive?

  I bought Windows 7 Professional Upgrade from Windows Vista Home Basic. HUGE MISTAKE! On the Microsoft Store is a nightmare. Finally, I just received a refund. Now, how do the Windows 7 on my D drive where is where idiots to the Microsoft sortore had me download in the first place. now I have vista on drive c and one broke * windows 7 on drive d. HELP, apparently, not a microsoft support t know how?

  If the Visa is still functions (you can load a running Vista), then install EasyBCD and follow the instuctions for EasyBCD listed below. When you are finished with the removal of Windows 7 in the boot (according to instructions) menu, then you can reformat the D: partition, which is where you said Windows 7 was installed.

  ================================================

  EasyBCD - how to remove the invalid entry:
  http://NeoSmart.NET/DL.php?id=1

  When you run EasyBCD, you will see the following great tabs/buttons on the left.

  (1) the display settings: displays the number of entries (bootable version valid and is no longer valid to Windows). The one marked 'default' in the version of Windows that starts if you sit and wait 30 seconds without making a selection using the keyboard. The entrance of remaining are classified by 'Name' (unless renamed all entires will call Windows 7). Drive letter represents the partition that version. If everything that you installed multiple copies of Windows 7 and Vista the path "Bootloader" will always be the same.

  (2) menu of Boot edit: four options 'Up', 'Down', 'Rename' (is very convenient if you want to see a significant name when you first start (I have 5 versions of Windows on one of my test systems, so I reamed the plain jane "Windows 7" "Windows 7 Pro 64-bit" and "Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - Bt, etc." ").)
   
  The last option is "Delete", click on the entry of is no longer valid (for highlight), and click 'delete '.

  You will also see a check mark in the "default" (when 30 timeout expires) version of Windows (vista in your case), the computer will start to place a check mark to one you want to keep.

  Located at the bottom of 'edit Boot Menu' page is the time-out value, if you want automatically to your only remaining version of Windows just place a check mark in the box "Skip boot menu."

  When your done with your changes, be sure to 'Save Settings'.

• Satellite L450D upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10

  Yesterday, I downloaded the Windows 10 (64 bit) upgrade after checking to make sure that my laptop is compatible and eligible.

  I downloaded the upgrade on my machine (not a USB - could be the mistake that I did there?) and started the upgrade which seemed to go well.

  He restarted at the end of installation and came up with a screen saying that the BCD could not be found (error 0xc000000f) and don't show this screen at startup. I have the Toshiba recovery disc and put it in the machine, however it does not give an option to repair, just reformat the partition and reinstall Windows 7. The only thing I have on the machine is about 11 GB of photos which I'm desperate not to lose because they are my little boy.

  The data partition (drive D :) has a number of records on this subject, with the last of 2013 as I haven't used the phone as much as I'm mainly a Mac user at home now. The pictures would be possibly recorded on this partition as part of the Toshiba backup feature? If so then I'll be happy to reformat and reinstall Windows, but of course, I don't want to do if they aren't there I can't really lose these pictures.

  Happy to provide more information if necessary.

  Help, please.

  Thank you

  Norm

  Did you also check if your phone model is supported for Win10 (Toshiba specification)? Probably not, right?

  Recovery image is for a clean installation of recovery and has nothing to do with the repair of the BONE, especially not with the Win10 most recent. Using the recovery disk you can reinstall the original recovery image only and start using your laptop with factory settings again. Using the recovery disk that all your saved data can be deleted.

  To save your order, you can remove the HARD drive and connect it as external device to the other PC and copy all your data (backup). After having done that, put it and reinstall original recovery using recovery disc image.

• Upgrade Windows 7 (64-bit) on Windows XP (32-bit) system - select Partition fails

  

  Step 7 fails, and I can't go forward.

  Poster, 3 partitions on my C: drive

  0 small partition reserved by manufacturer HW SYSTEM partition

  1 SYSTEM partition

  partition 2 free

  When I select the 0 partition, I get a message that it has reserved

  When I select partition 1 or 2, I get a message that it is not usable and to view the log of installation for more details

  Can not go to the front of this form.

  I'm afraid to reformat a partition 0 or 1 for fear that I will lose my OS XP and then have nothing of partition. The Office of origin came preloaded and I have no support for Windows XP to reinstall.  Windows 7 is an upgrade, and it is looking for the previous installation.  So if I reformat the partition 0 and partition 1, don't I be destroy the previous installation that will search the upgrade?

  I followed a troubleshooting thread that I found it says to upgrade exit, go back into the XP command prompt and run the commands to make the new format FAT partitions.  But when I ran the steps it told me that the partitions were already in the new format.

  I have no idea where to see the "installation log" that allegedly created upgrade.  How can I get a command prompt to upgrade the disk to find these newspapers?  Alternatively, they are somewhere that I can get from my XP OS written?

  I managed to get Windows 7 installed.  To overcome this problem (by selecting the score) I disconnected all my disks but the C (for installation) and the DVD drive (with download software).  Then I made the option advanced on-screen and repartitioned and formatted the zone system.  Was a bit annoying to do this to my Win XP partitions 'good' (as if download installation failed, what I would do), but that's what was necessary in order to select the partition.

  In the process, I created another problem that I will list in a different thread.  Basically, I thought I did a good thing by creating a boot partition that housed just the installation, but now when I try to use Windows Easy Transfer, I am running problems of space on the C: drive.  I create a thread on this problem.

• Can I use an external hard drive that is compatible to Windows on a Mac through reformatting?

  If so, what format to use? Mac OS extended (journaled)?

  Thank you!

  PS: I tried to put this in the Mac system software, but I could not find in 100 + element of submenu. I must say the redesign of the forum makes it much more difficult to use, and it is almost impossible to find positions in some themes that were available in the old form by a simple click on a symbol. It feels like Apple wanted to have as bad an organization like Google (endless sub-menus in otherwise good work pro apps e-mail) and be too cryptic in its structure than that of Windows. Apple, please go back to the simple user interfaces that can be understood by logic. Yes, I tried to put this comment in a comment forum, but I could not find.

• Windows 10 we could not update the system reserved partition

  I have windows 7 Home Edition premium, no idea why it says windows 10 we could not update the partition system reserved when I try and update?

  • Make sure you have enough disk space.
  • Although the recommended minimum requirements are 16 GB (32-bit), 20 GB (64-bit), if you upgrade from a previous version of Windows or a previous version, you will need to have at least 40-50 GB of free space to accommodate the installation files.
  • First run Disk Clean up.
  • Archive files rarely used to an external hard drive.
  • Consider data synchronization to OneDrive or similar online service and do a custom installation.
  • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
  • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
  • Do a clean boot, and then try again.
  • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both and try the installation again.
  • If you update via Windows Update, when download reaches 100%, disconnect the Internet LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, and proceed with the installation.
  • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
  • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account
  • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (e.g., USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripheral non-essential).
