Windows 10 disappointment Reset PC for Windows 8.1

Hello

I am writing in the hope that I put a 10 Windows on my machine. I upgraded my pc to windows Windows 8.1 10. I improved when he was free and when it was at the beginning of the version/release. I suffered through many "kinks" after each release of version/version, I stayed patient, (since I am a developer, I understand that the task of debugging and testing) and true to .NET.

However, the last week has been the straw that "broke the camels back". After the most recent upgrade, my app store Windows does no more, work with my app Mail and a few other applications. My Wifi would not turn on, and the button is grayed. My machine was as useless as water to a thirsty man.

As any developer of self-respect, I hired in troubleshooting trying various suggestions of my Microsoft community, however, after 3 days, I was still left with a broken machine and broken resolve.

I finally resorted to the thing I feared most, which is to return to Windows 8. The deadline for the upgrade to Windows 10 has disappeared, and now I'll have to pay for it, however, after all that I went through this last year, I am sorry to say that I would pay NOT for Windows 10.

I should be compensated for lost sleep lost, lost hair, mental health, and problems of lost faith, I got trying to fix I have not taken no part in creating.

Nothing is FREE, of course, but I write in the hope that I get for FREE a 10 Windows on my machine. Am I a hypocrite, please don't judge, walk me a mile in my shoes last year.

A new option has been added to the configuration for the users screen, reinstall Windows 10 on a system already installed and activated. If your system has a digital license attached to it, 10 Windows will be automatically updated:

When you upgraded from a previous version of Windows, what happened is that (your PC) hardware will get a digital license, a unique signature of the computer which is stored on the Microsoft Activation servers. The real Windows 7 or Windows 8 license you were using previously will be exchanged with a key to the diagnosis.

Whenever you need to reinstall Windows 10 on this machine, go just to reinstall Windows 10. It automatically reactivates.

Therefore, there is no need to know or get a product key, if you must reinstall Windows 10, you can use your Windows 7 or Windows 8 product key or use the reset function in Windows 10.

  • Is it possible to make a password reset disk for windows 7 by using windows 8?

    Original title: password reset disk

    Is it possible to make a password reset disk for windows 7 by using windows 8. The reason why I ask this is because our Toshiba satellite laptop was stolen when our House was robbed. Fortunately the police recovered the laptop, but the password has been changed and we cannot use it. In the meantime, we have replaced the old laptop with a new one that has windows 8. I made a password reset disk using this, but it won't work on the old laptop.

    any advice would be great

    Best regards, Ian

    Hi Ian,

    You can create a password reset disk only when you are able to log on or access Windows 7 computer and after you have created a password for the same.

    Windows 8 password reset disk can be used only in Windows 8 computer where you created the password and not for Windows 7.

    You must create a Windows password reset disk before you forgot your password. You must also create a new password reset disk when you change your password in Windows.

    If you the administrator password are changed and is not a password reset disk or another administrator account, you will not be able to change or reset the password.

  • If I reset Firefox for desktop PC, I'll lose Windows?

    Firefox runs very slowly... came a message that says "Firefox seems to run slowly." It crashed a few times.
    There is an obvious problem because the little "circle" will just around and around and around. I read about resetting Firefox, but there was a short sentence that says ' we will try and register Windows for you.» And that's the reason why I write my question. I don't want to reinstall Windows, since I have no idea how to do that. HELP... any suggestions? Damsel in distress!
    Cakiebird

    Don't worry - if you follow the official guide to Mozilla then refers to all open Firefox, not your operating system windows.

    To reset Firefox:

    1. Open the troubleshooting information page using one of the following methods:

      • Click the menu button

        click Help

        and select troubleshooting information. Should open a new tab containing your troubleshooting information.

      • If you are unable to access the Help menu, type Subject: support in your address bar to bring up the troubleshooting information page.
    2. At the top right of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox" which looks like this:

      . Click on it.

    3. Firefox will close and reset. After it's done, Firefox will display a window with information that is imported.
    4. Click Finish and reopen Firefox.

    Original title: after Windows updated PC had to be open with password that I forgot. How can I reset my password without a disk?

    After the latest version of Windows Update has been installed and the PC has restarted a window requested my password to open the PC.

    I forgot my password at the time and wanted to reset my password, but must activate with a floppy disk in drive A, which I did not.

    I changed my boot sequence from CD opening to reload my Windows operating system to see if that might solve the problem.

    Only found wallpaper with the pointer of the mouse of the active window. Windows has been idle. I eventually found my password and reset the same settings as the previous.

  • How can I reset optimize for quick removal on USB that I don't see any more?

    I installed a Drobo on my Vista 64 SP1 and became only on transer 12 MB/s on USB 2.0 speeds.  I went into policies and changed the setting on the drive to optimize Performance.  Come find out who is a no no with a Drobo.  Is no longer, I can start or stop the computer with the Drobo connected via USB.  If I connect it runs that the drive is not recognized in Device Manager or any where.  The only change before and after, it's changing the Optimize setting.  Yes, is there a reg edit I can do to get the back of the car, or all USB drives, to optimize for a quick deletion since I can't access the drive at all now?  Any other ideas?

    Also, I tried to do a system restore, but for some reason any Vista shows only a restore point of yesterday and today.  He has no points for any time before that.

    Thank you

    Ted

    Oops... Press the wrong button

    (1) go into your registry with regedit... the registry entry for your drobo will remain even when you are offline.

    Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM

    now searching: UserRemovalPolicy

    make sure that 'look' VALUES is verified

    keep hitting "Next" until it looks like you're in the tree of your drobo (have not installed on this PC so I can't find the exact key for you)

    The value is probably '2 '... Change it to 3 (no matter if hexadecimal or decimal).

    reset.

    connect drobo when you get back into windows.

    .. Lister other possibilities:

    (2) would work... connect a USB 1 or 1.1 hub to PC and connect drobo to hub...

    (3) go in the BIOS of the PC and USB set 1 or 1.1... might work... maybe not...

  • Is it hard reset dangerous for your PC?

    Hello

    Just a small question, is hard reset your computer (holding the power button until it stops) dangerous for the PC. I have to do several times whenever my PC freezes and I have no other choice, but to the hard reset. If it is harmful, is there a way I can restart my PC safely, instead of hard reset?

    Thank you

    You will get conflicting information here, so you will need to do your own research and come to your own conclusion.  The story is that in computers having the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI), which includes your window 7 PC using the power supply switch is not very likely to have negative consequences.  Such was not the case in the PC and versions prior Windows, especially pre - XP DOS - based versions.   There are two reasons that there is a pause before the stop when you press the power switch.  We need to prevent inadvertently stop the PC by pressing the switch accidentally, and the other is to allow Windows to suspend read/write operations before closing.

    I would follow the advice of ThrashZone and solve the problem of Windows normally stops, then you will not have to worry at all.
