• A clean installation of Win7 Pro 64 Bit OS SP1 maintains the search for updates. (Error 0 x 80070005 windows update)

  Hi, I recently formatted my HD and clean installed with an older version of Win7 Pro SP1 x 64 OS, I more than a week now looking online for help, but nothing is. Windows Update appears to hang "search for updates". I don't presume that my Pc is virus free because of a clean install, so I'm not sure that Microsoft stopped providing updates for older versions of windows or not. I also tried to upgrade to OS 64-bit win10 everything works fine with the installation until it reaches "search for updates" which also hangs and does not download updates, I tried Microsoft stand-alone install also but who doesn't either. I also tried running "Microsoft Genuine Diagnostics Tool" results are lower. I also tried to reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on the Microsoft Web site and found a windows "0x80070005" error code also known as "access denied." Something to do with registry permissions I think. A boot minimum, then run the Microsoft fixit would fix the issue im having with windows update.

• Update Windows to Win7 Pro-wants to remove previously deleted program 10

  I'm trying to upgrade to Win10 of Win7 Pro.  Update required me to remove Symantec Endpoint Protection, I did.  But several attempts to update always ask for the removal of this program, even if it no longer exists.  How to clear the checkpoint so that the update will pronounce?  Thank you.

  Jim

  Jim,

  If using CleanWipe utility has not fixed this problem then I think you should contact Symantec support.

  I also suggest to have a look on their user forum to see if someone else has experienced the same problem.  To do this in parallel with contact technical support because their users are likely to be more competent.

  It is possible to run a clean install Windows 10 you are activating and using your Windows 7 product key.  These are the best explanations I've seen-

  Clean Windows install 10 - WiKi

  Clean install Windows 10 directly without having to first upgrade - Windows 10 Forums

  • Running a clean install would not suffer the current problem, but it would be more work that you would have to reinstall all your applications later.  The disc should be wiped its previous content.
  • Personally, I "fix" Windows 10 on my other computer by performing a clean installation.  This gives the best chance of an OS without problem in the future.

• HP Pavilion - 27qe touch everything-i: HP Pavilion - 27qe touchscreen all-in-one PC Downgrade of Win10 of Win7 Pro 64 bit

  I ordered, from hp store-still in production, a HP Pavilion - 27qe touchscreen all-in-one.  There are 10 Windows.  I would come down to Win7 Pro 64-bit (I can buy a legal copy of win7 and do a clean install).  I understand that I would lose some features like the touch screen, but I really prefer Win7.  I'm looking for info on how to do this?  For example, where to find the proper drivers (determine which and where to download to), BIOS etc.  Drivers listed on hp for this computer are for Win10 only, there is no Win7 drivers listed.  Of course I'd first recovery disks Win10, where I always want to go to the Win10 or if Win7 is not working properly.

  Any info/help appreciated.  My wife and I share one our computer at home with Win7 on it.  Me, my wife and probably would be better to use Win7 we are used and as.

  Thank you...

  Thanks for the info WAWood.  I decided to nix the idea of decommissioning.  It would be too complicated, as you point out.  Have a good!

  I noticed that you have been very busy here.  Member for 2 months and almost 500 posts!  Thanks for you disseminate knowledge and activity here.

• 750 - 247c envy: wiped my HDD of withdrawal Win10, no boot or partition sector, no mouse or KB install Win7 Pro

  I just bought a 750-247c with Win10 desire. Not like that OS, I tried to remove it, couldn't, so I wiped the drive, including partitions, recovery, everything. I then formatted the specification of Win7, no partitions, a 2T HARD drive, I did HD0 and the other 128G HD1, they have all both been wiped and reformatted. I changed the boot sequence to boot from the CD first, active from legacy devices. I understand that installing a new OS to relocate a boot located, etc.

  With a newly purchased Win7 Pro disc, the machine will boot from the CD, open the language, the time format and the currency, the small keyboard, but I don't have a keyboard mouse to make a selection to continue the installation. Mouse and KB are USB devices and ports are all enabled.

  I've tried everything I know to get this thing up and ongoing delivery, I am relatively computer warned having started several years ato with a Commodore 64 and tons of repair of computers and the configuration in the past. This thing baffled me and I need to turn it on.

  Thanks for the support!

  Normally the plastic in the middle of the port part is blue, in comparison to the other USB ports, and those which are marked with SS go USB 3.0.

  The SS is supposed to indicate high speed (super). A port with a lightning bolt in the symbol will be a USB high power, suitable for charging USB devices.

  I hope this helps.

• Failure of KB974431 update with 8007000D on a clean install of Win7 Pro 64-bit

  Hi all

  I just finished a clean install of Win7 pro 64 bit and everything looks on with the activated product key.  I'm applying 50 some important updated via update, but I have one that fails each time, KB974431.

  According to this thread: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/27737d55-9c10-44b5-b701-6ba147c78364, another person having this problem had luck manually download and install the update.  But it did not work for me (I created a new thread because his son was in the installation forum).

  KB94431 was also causing problems for people who concoct a C004F050 error as in this thread:http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/ff57f326-0f1d-412c-a4d0-14de1eaf0836/ although I didn't have this error, I tried running sfc/SCANNOW and he did report that he "finds corrupted files but could not solve some of them."  I don't really know what I should look for in the CBS.  By suggestion of the thread, I installed 64-bit Windows Update Agent and Windows Update is represented nothing doesn't.

  I think I have a corrupted file update is already downloaded that Windows is trying to use each time and it fails.   They seem to live in files Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download and Windows\Servicing\Packages.  Although I can change the permissions to delete the file in Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download (and I've tried it without change of failure), access is denied whenever I try to touch the Windows\Servicing\Packages or its content.

  The only installed software were the latest EVGA nforce and drivers for video card, Norton Security Suite and the SoundBlaster last for my sound card driver.

  Any suggestions?

• X 200 / Turbo Memory / Win7 Pro Updater failure

  Hello. I did some checking with respect to this, just can't find something that fits.

  Basically I have a x 200 with 2 GB turbomemory installed. It works fine in the company stock vista, then I decided to install win7 pro on this subject.

  1. first run, I installed win7, ran the windows updates, then system update. Windows update broke. did some checking, some guys reports this Breeze system update update windows.

  2. Second, reinstalled win7, ran the windows updates until everything is done. a site intel Manager downloaded turbo memory. Windows update broke.

  Neither of the two cases, no amounts of microsoft fixit not solved. second run I did a system restore and his return to life. Yay!

  As fast as the win7 is compared to the vista bloatware, I turbo memory installed, and I want it work. someone has problems that they were able to solve? It's a clean install of win7pro btw, not an x 201 win7 recovery disc.

  This makes me intrigued. is a particular issue on processors c2d this turbo memory Setup program will break win7 windows update? for now, I'll just avoid the installation of turbo memory program.

• Did not receive the security updates June 2016 for Win7 Pro.

  Two of my three PC Win7 Pro received June downloads security on 15 June.  My third pc from today (July 1) did not get these downloads. The last time it was in May.

  I told Win. updated LOOK for downloads but it sets just there saying looking for UPDATES.  I waited an hour long, but nothing happens after that research, keep just on & on.

  Please note... I have no problem to download other applications.

  I wrote the numbers of June security update KB of my other PC.  Where can I download them manually?

  Try the following: manually install the client June 2016 update rollup package, including a new version of windows. Earlier versions may not manage patch day KB3161664 June. This would be a solution for now to install it manually, but with a high probability of the issue of his return on the day July patch.

  https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/3161608

  Before you install the updates manually, the value of the automatic updates to 'never check updates' and restart to avoid any research activity to interfere in the background.

• wrong key after re-installing Win7 after upgrade win10

  I chatted with Microsoft twice on this subject, but it seems that they are all delayed because Rhea or Nino could answer my questions.  The two gave conflicting responses and referred me to another organization of Microsoft dealing with Volume licenses!   I have only two computers, why I should go.

  I had good faith Win 7 on my computer, then a free upgrade to Win10.  Everything worked except my ENTRY video card and it wasn't a problem of provider, either a driver problem with desktop video card.  (I worked with the seller of the input card).  In a Win 7 machine, the card worked fine.   Stupid me, I had updated Win 10 to see if it would solve my problem, what keeps me coming back to Win7 with an easy click on (Win10 upgrade records the Win7 files until you update.)

  No problem, I had my software Win7 disk so I re-installed, using the product key, I had listed with my Bill for the software I bought it online.   Didn't work, so I used another button, for my current computer Win10.  It worked, and I installed Win7 on server.

  Good news: my entry video card works.  Bad news: I can't activate Windows 7.  The key that I use, the key to this computer failed during installation reports that she wants a "Home Premium Key" while I had upgraded to Win7 Pro for free.  The key that let me install (for my OTHER computer) is blocked by Microsoft, as it should.  No trouble there.

  How can I get from Microsoft to resolve this issue.  I have the invoice and key for the software on my desk ready to prove my case.   Microsoft let me update this machine with THIS key to 10 Windows but it won't let me DOWNGRADE using the SAME key for Windows 7.

  I suggest that you run the diagnostic tool Microsoft Genuine Advantage in normal mode and copy and paste the results into a response for further analysis:

  Run the tool and when it ends, click the copy button, open a text such as Word or Notepad file and select Edit, paste. You can paste directly into an answer here. Open a response, right click and select Paste.

• win 10 free update

  is it a partitioned factory laptop with win 7 home 64-bit and win7 pro upgrade online code be overwritten with win10 so factory reset will return os to win 10 from the initial upgrade or factory reset will return as before to win 7 home and online to the code for win7 pro level? and then upgrade to win 10 again? , or ideally upgrade will have options as to how win10 upgrade is used?

  It should not touch your Windows 7 original factory restore partition. But its best play win by making a backup of Windows 7 Image on an external USB drive. If you have any questions any you can always restore Windows 7, your applications and data files as they were before the upgrade.  Also, note that a factory restore back Windows just the way it was when you first received it, all the apps of your installation and your data files will be lost.

• Advise Microsoft tells me that there is a free update for Adobe, but where?

  I am running Adobe Professional version 8.3.1. and, after running the Microsoft Upgrade Advisor from XP Pro to Windows 7, it tells me that I need a free update to this software.

  I gave up after spending an hour on the Adobe site follow the link provided by Microsoft!

  Can someone tell me where it is please?

  AA8 is currently in 8.3.1. There are 2 methods to do an update, help > updates and go to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows. However, you are currently in the maximum update. AA8 is not supported by Adobe for Win7, but many have been successful with Win7 32 bit. Reports of success for Win7 64 bit can count on one hand, and I don't know that I can conclude that it works correctly on this system. The only way to be sure is to try it.

  The other option is to update (this is not a free option). The current upgrade is AA XI as already mentioned. Upgrades, you must be careful that you do not lose the option to upgrade at some point. The current upgrade requires AA8 minimum for $199.00 from the Adobe store.
