• Impossible to use windows anytime upgrade to windows 7 Home Basic

  Hello
  I bought a retail version of Windows 7 Home Basic, but when I tried to upgrade using anytime upgrade I could not. This option was not available. When I tried to update using a disc of Windows 7 Home Premium, I got a message that I have to use Windows Anytime Upgrade.
  Thank you

  Hi voodoo2010,
  
  Temporarily disable any security software and that you try to upgrade, follow the steps mentioned below
   
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software
   
  Note: Allow all security software after you perform the troubleshooting steps.
   
  If you have a copy of Windows 7 Home Edition premium simply use the product as an anytime upgrade key. No disc required if you do it this way. You can use the button once for this upgrade as well.
   
  A similar issue has been discussed here. Disabling security software before performing whenever he helps me to upgrade.
  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7install/thread/c2870704-558d-41c9-9069-db6115c14788

  Now in the rare event that your Windows Anytime Upgrade does not go through smoothly, here's what troubleshooting steps you can try:

  1 restart the computer for all pending operations, as appropriate.
  2 see the following log files. journal entries can give you an idea why the WAU failed.
  -%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Windows at any time Upgrade\upgrade.log
  -%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Windows at any time Upgrade\upgrade_dism.log
  -%SystemRoot%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log file
  -%SystemRoot%\Logs\CBS\CBS.persist.log file

  I suggest you run chkdsk/r. It locates bad sectors and recovers readable information. / r includes the functionality of / f, with the additional analysis of physical disk errors.

  Windows 7 includes a tool called CHKDSK disk that is similar to the "scandisk" in older versions of Windows to audit tool. This application scans your hard drives for errors such as the lost areas, bad sectors, and corruption.

  You can run CHKDSK using two methods (the first being the easiest):

  Graphic Interface method:

  Open the computer option in the start menu, which allows to display all the available drives to scan on your PC:

  Then, right click on the drive you want to check for errors, and then select Properties :

  Now click on the menu Tools , then check now in the error checking section:

  You have several options within the check disk tool. It is always recommended to you leave the box "automatically fix file system errors" ticked, as this repair and problems encountered. If you want a deeper analysis, check "search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors". This second option takes more time, but you have to do if you suspect a disk problem. Once you are set up, click Start :
  If you try to check a disk that is currently in use, you will receive a message asking if you want to schedule a scan. Accepting this detection is the next time you reboot your PC:

  The command prompt method:

  Alternatively, you can use the command prompt to perform analysis on a drive letter of your choice by running "chkdsk x:" where x is the letter of your drive. Manual scan options are:

  • /F fixes errors on the disk.
  • /V FAT/FAT32: displays the full path and name of every file on the disk. On NTFS: Displays the eventual cleanup messages.
  • /R Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information (implies / f).
  • L:size NTFS only: changes the size of the log file for the number specified in kilobytes. If the size is not specified, displays the current size.
  • /X force the volume to unmount it first if necessary. All open handles to the volume would then be invalid (implies / f).
  • /I NTFS only: performs a less vigorous check of index entries.
  • /C NTFS only: skips checking of cycles within the folder structure.
  • /B NTFS only: Re-evaluates bad clusters on the volume (implies / r)

  "CHKDSK x: /F /R" could perform a full scan (including bad sectors) and an attempt to remedy.
  
  Warning of CHKDSK

  Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost

  All information about chkdsk, see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730714%28WS.10%29.aspx

  There is only a single black border at the bottom of the screen. Also, the border is only broadcast on the first screen of my request, that has buttons to go to the rest of the application. Even if I navigate to the first screen of my request, somewhere inside the application, the border becomes visible. There is no black border in the other forms in the application, apart from the first screen.

  It is * not * seems to be a launch image problem. I have a picture of launch, [email protected], and the launch image works fine. Here are the setups I get or don't get the black border:

  iPhone 4S (iOS 9.2) Simulator - without black border

  iPhone 5 (iOS 9.2) simulator - black border

  iPhone 5 (iOS 8.1.3) device - without black border

• I bought the Windows Anytime Upgrade, but the software will not be installed.

  Help... I bought the Windows Anytime Upgrade on Microsoft Office software to my Vista laptop, but the software will not be installed. Operation message is not supported on this platform. How to get around the facility? I have the product key number, but can not get so far to enter.

  I think that you bought the right product. Updates at any time are for the upgrade edition of Windows 7 to a more expensive edition. This isn't what you need to upgrade a Vista system to Windows 7. While Vista upgrades are no longer available from the Microsoft Store.

  I suggest that you return to the Microsoft Store site and use the contact methods to discuss your problem with an agent.
