Pc got free upgrade from 7 ultimate 32bit to 10 pro 32bit successfully. Now I consider to switch it to 64bit.
I tried to run "MediaCreationTool64.exe", but it didn't run on current 32bit environment. Can't I get free switching? Must I purchase 64 bit version in Microsoft Store with payment?
Wow yet another problem that has hit me since my conversion to windows 10, this morning before i left for work booted up my pc and it got as far "configuring window do not switch off computer" I sat there wathcing it get to 100% and it rebooted itself only to repeat message and all I now get is a boot loop to this message and nothing else.
Getting into the repair window is a task in its own having to switch off pc while windows loading a few times before it get to the repair bit as I have tried all the F4,5,6,7,8 route and nothing and not wanting to have to go into bios everytime to change boot sequence find switcing off pc is best.
Now that windows install all updates and one has no say on the matter looks lik this is going to be a problem becasue if you get a bad update what do you do because updates dont ask you it downloads to pc without your permission but getting back to my problem how to prevent this from happening again because I am tired of having to restore the pc to a previous restore point.
Under the settings menu, I do not get the option to turn Bluetooth on or off. It has been suggested that this is a design feature where desktop PCs do not need a switch while Laptops get one, I don't know if this was the design plan. Any way in my case I am on a Samsung Notebook (which is a Laptop). It has also been suggested that windows 10 looks for the battery to make this decision, if so it may have been that my "Battery Saving" mode on the Samsung that confused the selection process. My battery is currently showing as 80% but not charging.

View 1 RepliesI had windows 8.1 and already upgraded for free to windows 10 home. Now I want to do a clean install of windows 10 with a usb drive and their create media installer program. What I want to know is if I can possibly use the windows 10 home N version? I like the idea of not having the stuff I may not use if I go for 3rd party software for videos and the like. Will it work or will it not let me since I didn't have an "N" version of my windows 8.1?

View 9 RepliesI'm not able to turn on bluetooth on my Compaq 510 laptop. So I thought of uninstalling and re-installing my bluetooth driver, which happened to be Microsoft Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network) Driver version 10.0.10586.0 ( dated 2006-06-21 ). Now I'm not able to find this driver again. I'm facing with the bluetooth.

View 2 RepliesThe laptop that I use a PIN to log on clearly has on the login screen under the PIN area the option to change to other types of login credentials (i.e., MSID, Local Account), but on another laptop where I changed over to Windows Logon I do not have any such option displayed, nor can I find it in Settings:Accounts:Sign-in Options (though it DOES have there the option to change the PIN and other credential particulars).

Also, Windows 10 won't let me switch out of my Local User Account back to my Microsoft Account, if I try, it gives me the active circle for a short duration and a quick open and closed CMD screen with no discernible commands seen in it, just open/closed in a split second behind the Setting/Accounts screen and doesn't switch me at all.
I am using Spybot Anti-Beacon and O&O ShutUp10 also to block M$ stuff.
I am running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and I did a fresh install after a unstable 'upgrade', though successful.
It will not allow me to activate the switch in Windows 10?

View 1 RepliesI got a new Dell this year, which came with Windows 7 (Dell Precision M4800), and it was working perfectly until the Wi-Fi stopped working. After hours of research and troubleshooting and updating, I figured out that the one and only reason my WiFi wasn't working was because my hardware WiFi switch was not working. In other words, even when I switch it into the on position, it still stays off.
With Windows 7, there was a convenient fix: go into my Bios, go into the wireless category, and tell the Bios to ignore the WiFi switch. This fix worked, and I forgot all about the problem until I upgraded to Windows 10. The WiFi stopped working again. So I went through all that hullabaloo of updating things, and nothing worked. So I isolated the problem to the WiFi switch.
I went back into my Bios, and found a disclaimer: For Windows 8 systems, the Bios does not affect wireless capability because they use their own OS drivers. In other words, for Windows 8 and up, I can't use the Bios to ignore my broken hardware switch. Here is my question: aside from replacing my WiFi switch, is there a way to turn wireless capability on in Windows 10? Is there a way to make Windows ignore the hardware switch?
I went through hours of customer support as well, and 40 minutes after I told them my switch was broken, they told me, " It appears to be a hardware issue." I do like a laugh, but I actually need my WiFi, I am temporarily downgrading back to Windows 7 until I can resolve the issue. But I really do like Windows 10, so I'd like to go back to it asap.
I'm having one problem in Windows 10. When I connect my computer to the internet using a switch, it loses connection after a few minutes, but if I connect it directly into the router it work's just fine. Before the update to windows 10 I had no problems at all using the switch.

I tend to have Spotify playing whenever I'm gaming. In the past when my wife would switch to her name on the computer Spotify would keep playing with no problems & I would be able to control it from my phone. With Windows 10, it stops playing the moment she switches to her name & I can't get it to play from my phone.

I have a scanner radio that I input to the desktop pc via a USB Port. Then the pc outputs it on the Green audio jack to a pair of desktop speakers. Works fine.
Now let's say I have another radio output which is inputted to the pc via the pc Line In Audio jack (Blue).
How can I switch between them to the speakers ? Both come up on the Speaker Icon in the bottom task tray as being enabled, but not sure how to switch which one (only) actually goes to the desktop speakers (if both radios are working).

View 13 RepliesI've got windows 10 TP on my Hyper-V virtual machine on my Windows 8.1 . The problem is I need to get the VM to get connected to internet so I tried create an external virtual switch, but when I try to create it, it shows me an error -
"failed while adding virtual ethernet swith connections ethernet port {something...}
bind failed: catastrophic failure(0*8000FFFF)."
This happens when i assign external network provider as my Realtek RTL8723BE wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC. this is my wireless network adapter.
The switch is created when i assign the external network provider as Realtek PCIe GBE family controller, this is my ethernet adapter, but since there is no internet connection via ethernet, this is of no use to me.
My laptop is Lenovo z50-70, and windows 8.1
windows 10 has got some serious problem which is with the AEROPLANE MODE.
