W7 is accepted, but the upgrade fails

I run W7 home Premium that came pre-installed on my laptop. I wanted to move to W7 Pro. Anytime online update doesn't let me do this based on the restrictions of the place, somehow. He suggested that I buy a key from a retailer instead, as I did.

Now, I entered this key in the update of any time and it seems that he had accepted the key, that I can forward to accept the license terms and then it starts to do his work, say how it will take about 10 minutes, etc.., but not for long. I don't know if I still get the same error message now, compared to when I tried to update the first time, but now, he said something to the effect of (this is a German Windows):

Enter the different product key

The Enter key is designed for a version of Windows that is compatible with the upgrade Express (sic!). Enter the different upgrade key.

Now I checked my key with a key verification tool and it makes the new key account I had entered the Pro upgrade and it seems, so I'm stuck with a system on the new key, but will not perform the upgrade.

What should do?

  • Said Dell Inspiron 7537 is tested on Windows 10 but the upgrade fails - black screen

    Hello all, Hello support,

    Dell Backup software and restore proposed to me that I have upgraded to Windows 10. I like this idea.

    I checked my ultrabook on the DELL Web site. Inspiron 7537 is tested (proudly said Dell) so I should be able to update my OS without flaw.

    I did 2 upgrade to Windows 10 attempts, both failed in the same way.

    It passes through several stages, but at some point, a black screen stuck and only power OFF button turns the laptop computer do something (disable). In the two attempts after 2 restarts, the installation process is back from my Windows 8.1 operating system

    Why DELL say it is tested and I can't upgrade - turns-does not work.

    I have not contacted the DELL forums on this subject (because the DELL technical support in my country told me it is Microsoft Business) If IT WAS NOT for THE FACT that DELL 'advertising' me Windows 10 and claims my laptop is ready to do the upgrade.

    Please help and explain.

    Thank you in advance.

  • No error message or warning in the build output, but the generation fails

    Hello

    I'm trying to compile a project that I wore CVI 5.0 on ICB 2013. When I compile it the output Build window displays all the files included in the project, no warning or error but the build failed. I must say that I am new to the CVI. I tried most of the options generation and of course to configure warnings. It makes no difference. And as long as I don't get any error message I can't start to debug. I hope that I made a rookie mistake simple. So thanks for any information you may have.

    Hello rdwitt,

    I was able to reproduce the problem. The problem lies within the CVI, so he is not related to a project setting. Apparently, the special characters in the word "Prüfstand" affect the functionality of the build system. It was a known issue for 2013 CVI and has been corrected in the patch. I was able to update CVI 2013 with the patch and the problem disappeared. The build fails due to errors in several files.

    Don't update patch has not worked for you? I applied the patch, restarted CVI and was able to build the project of Desktop\NTC Prufstand III\Main\...

    Another solution would be to delete the special character of Prufstand.

    Best regards

  • Stop Windows 10 Upgrade prompt, because the upgrade fails

    I want to stop being prompted to upgrade to Windows 10. I tried 3 times, with freshly downloaded drivers, but still, the installation fails to half way through, and it's beyond my ability to resolve this more. The laptop is old, it has 16 GB of RAM, a screen 17 "and 8 cores, so it still has useful life in it.

    Why this upgrade mechanism does not notice that the installation has failed each time? He doesn't notice what is broken, because there is no help at all in telling me what needs to be fixed. I wouldn't use my compromised machine and a bunch of picked up hard drive space because I can't upgrade to the latest and greatest.
