Windows PC Refresh deleted windows 8.1 and I want to improve help :(
as the title suggests I recently had to refresh my PC to get certain keyboard and internet connectivity issues fixed. Problem is that refresh deleted my copy updated windows 8.1 and now I'm back to the old windows not updated 8.
Ive tried to install updates, but it keeps telling me to restart to complete update and at this point, I think that Ive rebooted my laptop more than 25 times and I still can't to 8.1 windows, so I can get my windows 10 copy that I booked.
Hi Naser,
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?
I can imagine the disadvantages suffered by you and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem.
In the first place, if you are unable to start on your system and get the installation of updates, I suggest you to try the steps in the following article and check if it helps.
Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.
The question may arise if the Windows downloaded update packages are corrupt. So, if you are able to start the computer successfully after following article provided above, I also suggest you try the following steps and check if the problem persists.
Method 1:
Try to run that Windows update utility provided in the following link.
Problems with installing updates
Try to install the updates after running the troubleshooter.
If the problem persists, try the following method.
Method 2:
I suggest you to use Deployment Image Servicing and Management to fix Windows Update errors.
(a) open an elevated command prompt. To do this, press the Windows key + Q and type in CMD right click on command prompt in the list and select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
(b) type the following commands. Press enter after each command
- DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
- DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
(c) close the command prompt, and then run Windows Update again.
Check if the problem persists.
Additional information:
Install the Windows 8.1 update (KB 2919355)
Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.

My toshiba windows 8 crashed and I want to reinstall windows 8 on it.
When it has been repaired, the repairman put windows 7 on it. Is there a way I can reinstall windows 8 without having to pay for it? I'm not really afraid on files deleted because my computer wiped clean enough now. I tried to do it myself, but I either had to buy or download from fragmentary attractive sites. Any suggestions?

I don't know where is the disk and I need to install this. Is said that this may already be on my computer but I don't know where to find.
Some CD of Windows XP can be stored on the computer in C:\i386, but you will not be able to reinstall Windows from it. If you do not have the CD, try to contact your manufacturer.

Hello
You will need to contact Dell about this and see if they still have an XP CD to sell you to reinstall XP
IF Dell still have an XP disk available for this model, you will then need to clean install XP to replace Vista as an operating system.
Here are a few Dell informatiion on this computer model:

I just baught a computer with windows 10 home and you want to downgrade to windows 7
I just baught a pc with windows 10 home on it and I absolutely hate it in my opinion is the worst opperating system windows has never turned off. I really want to downgrade to windows 7. I have installation disc n I acquired in a tech store were and how could I get an activation key and how muuch do it costs
Hello
First thing to do is to make sure that the PC manufacturer supports and office supplies Windows 7 drivers for this PC.
If it is not Windows 7 will not install and work properly for you.
Microsoft sells more than Windows 7.
Try Amazon.com.
And a word of warning: do NOT buy key product for themselves because they can be stolen or pirated.
Buy the complete sealed package: DVD, product key/license, etc.

Photshop 7 works very well for me, but I guess that it will not work on Windows 10 64 - bit for my new PC. I use not PS often enough to justify the signing of a lease plan, I would buy it, pure and simple, but only need software that does what makes 7 PS. What should I do?
Maybe my mind is gone, but I thought that Photoshop 7 would still run under Vista.
Its for a long time I've used PS 7
You can run VM in windows 10 home addition
but I think it will cost you.

Hi all
I am looking at buying a machine to re-furb.
HP ENVY 17-N078CA laptop
The machine has windows 8.1 and I wanted to know if there was problems with upgrade to windows 10.
Hello;
Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
I read your post about upgrading your PC to Win10 and wanted to help.While HP has not tested your PC with Win10 and has not certified it will work, the good news is that HP does not provide drivers for your PC Win10: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-envy-17-n000-notebook-pc-touch/7777355/model/8429748#Z7_3054ICK0K8UDA0AQC11TA930O2
If this page does not display the windows 10 when you open it, then click Edit and select Windows 10 in the menu drop-down.
Unfortunately, the Win10 GoBack function is NOT reliable, and that can leave you with a corrupt machine that will require the factory reset and lose all that on it, to get it working again.
You can avoid this by making an image backup to an external hard drive or a USB drive using Macrium reflect (MR), which provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.
What I recommend is the following:
(1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
(2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
(3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key
NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.Good luck

Pavillion P-7 - 1236 s: Windows 10 House and HP printers

I keep windows 10 my computer off until I know he will workwith 10. I hope someone can help. Thanks lee
Hi @redrabbitt,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you had some printing problems with your HP Deskjet 3000 printer on Windows 10. And I'm happy to help you!
According to this guide, Windows 10 compatible printers, it lists this printer as being compatible with Windows 10. It is possible that maybe was a conflict pilot, maybe a problem with the software you use to print from, could be a number of reasons.
If Windows 10 was installed I would have suggested to try our HP print and Scan Doctor, as well as the following steps:
- Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the printer software.
- Clean boot the computer. How to perform a boot in Windows.
- Disable all Antivirus programs. Disable Antivirus software.
- Disable all firewall programs. The WF of end-to-end.
- Create a new user account. Management of accounts of users and connections (Windows 8).
- Reinstall using the printer HP install wizard for Windows.
(These steps works on Windows 10.)
If you decide to try Windows 10, here are the steps I recommend you to try.
Good luck!
