I have an asus zenbook ux31e-dh53 with windows 7 . Did the windows 10 upgrade, downloaded the files. Left it installing overnight because it takes a really long time. I wake up with my laptop at the bios screen, go to save and quit, boots right back into bios. This repeats a couple times until i turn the power off and back on. Then my comp loads up and says: Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key. Pressing a key does nothing, and I check bios and am definitely booting from my only ssd.
So that happened. Dont have an install disk so i download a usb recovery iso for windows 7, which I pay twenty bucks for because apparently this requires a licensing fee, whatever. Then boot from my usb and it just loads into grub dos.
Take it to my techs at school. They check it out, and apparently by booting from an actual OS image on an HD, they can see my partition has been completely wiped. So Im now in the process of downloading windows 10 to do a clean install.Getting my hd wiped isnt a huge deal as I have most of my important stuff backed up. Plus it will probably run faster with a clean install.
I have 2 computers (asus and acer) that came with Windows 7 Home. The product keys are on the side of the computers. The hard drives have been wiped and are blank. How can I update to Windows 10? My guess is I have to download and install Windows 7 with the keys on the computer and then update, but where can I download a copy of Windows 7 from?
I installed Windows 10 a couple of days ago and really like it so far. I have been trying out the new MS Edge browser. I noticed up towards the top in Top Sites it would populate with websites I visit frequently. Kind of like it did in IE previously when one would click on a new tab and it would show the top frequented sites. Makes it easy to return to them.
So this afternoon I noticed in Edge, suddenly the top sites field was blank all the way across.
Why this would have blanked out? I did not do any clearing out of anything...
Today I was playing Rocket League with my room mate. I've got it along with some other 700 GB of data located on my E drive partition. After we finished, he plugged in a USB stick to get something from my PC, and then he found out that the E partition was completely wiped. I asked him what did he do, he told me he just plugged in the USB stick. There were no delete prompts, nothing. I checked to see that maybe they were hidden, but they're not. The drive shows that 784 out of 784 GB's of space is free.
I tried a system restore, but as expected it came to no avail. Something I've noticed though, that all the files I download afterwards are getting automatically deleted, but things like JPG's and and txt files do not. Also, whenever I restart/restore the PC, a program I have, Free Download Manager, keeps reinstalling itself. The curious thing is, the C drive (which is my win dir) is untouched, along with the USB stick that was put in the PC.
I scanned the partition using EaseUS drive recovery tool, and found all (perhaps most) of the almost 1 million files that were deleted. I want to try to restore them, but I do not think that will be useful, since anything I get/download automatically gets deleted. This is a very complicated situation and I have some very personal files in there that I do not want lost.
Specs:
* Operating System: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 10240) * Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.5GHz * Memory: 8192MB RAM * GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 * HD: SeaGate Barracuda ST1000DM003-1ER162 (I only got this hard drive in my PC)
Apparently, all my DLL's seem to be missing as well in the directory C:WindowsSystem.
I'm on build 10130, can't find RTM build through WU. Can't update from media creation tool's upgrade now function. Can't update from ISO because it says product key is invalid even though i used the command prompt to find original product key.
I have windows7 on my HD. Im going to download windows10 onto a new SSD. I want to keep all my files on the HD for obvious reasons but I want rid of the W7 OS to create space.
Do I connect my SSD up to the mobo and launch W7, go to my desktop and click on the W10 free upgrade pop-up and then select the install destination to the SSD
Do I remove my HD and just have the SSD connected to the mobo and launch my pc, and download W10 via USB or something? Im not sure about this method, this is why I ask.
I dont have Windows 10 on disk, but I do have an OEM key.
Just upgraded my work pc to windows 10. Haven't gotten to the desktop yet. I cannot no longer log in. It does not recognize my password. This has never happened before. Also, my login prompt under 8.1 was just the password. Now it also presents me with a selection for the user name and another one for the password. Didn't expect that problem. Moreover it does not react to when I request a reboot. (By the way, the pc is independent. It does NOT belong to a domain.)
After I upgraded to Windows 10 I noticed it created another hidden partition. I upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate 64 to Win 10 Pro 64. Originally Windows 7 had a 100mb System Reserved now it's showing a unnamed 456mb partition. Do I need to keep these? Seems Strange.
I have another PC i clean installed Windows 10 only made the 450mb unnamed partition not the 100mb one. Seems no need for that one? I wanted to go back to 7 but was over the 30 days seems it all deleted to go back
I upgraded one of my systems to 10 the other day and ever since it won't stay off, it just turns itself back on every time I shut it down. It was a clean install, not an upgrade. Never had this issue before the upgrade.
I was upgraded my pc from win 8.1 to win 10 and made a clean install . after that my usb are always on even the pc is off in the past I was switched on the EUP option in the bios menu and the usb was shuting down the power with the pc , but now wont work. My motherboard is ASUS M4A87TD-EVO
I reserved my upgrade which is now telling me that the upgrade is available, i enter the 'OK, let's continue' area and get the 'working on it' screen and it stays there for a long time and goes nowhere, Is this because I have previously downloaded an ISO file and transferred to my laptop to evaluate Win 10 and now my desktop will not load the software even though it is saying the download is complete.
I recently purchased a computer with Windows 10 32 bit installed. The guy I bought it from said there seemed to be something wrong with the RAM (8GB installed but only 3.25Gb usable). I checked the RAM and it was all OK, then doing a little research I found that this is common for machines designed for 64 bit. My computer system indicates that it has a 32 bit operating system, x64 bit processor. I have downloaded the 64 bit ISO file but when I open the setup.exe file I get a message telling me that "this app can't run on your PC".
I have talked to a Microsoft techo through the chat option who confirms that my computer is able to run 64 bit (after I gave the techo direct access to my computer). At that stage I was seeking assistance with the 64 bit download which the techo resolved. After the successful download I am now having a problem with the installation.
A few months back I upgraded my primary hard drive to an SSD, samsung evo 850. I copied everything over using samsung migration and now there is a system reserve partition that I never noticed before,
Well, I finally decided to do the windows 10 upgrade from windows 8.1 but the partition wont allow it to happen.
Am I safe to delete that partition? I'm not entirely sure what it is.
I did the upgrade with the media creation tool - "Upgrade this PC" option and my Windows wasn't activated. Using the "Activate" button gets me a "Windows can't be activated. Try again later" message (I'm on Brazilian Portuguese language, so the actual English message may be a little different).
After some web searching, I tried a variety of slmgr commands that all return error messages saying I'm on a "non-core edition" and none of the slui options give any result (not even errors, they just don't do anything). Clicking on the error detail link on the activation page shows a blank popup.
Product key information shows *****- opposed to *****-XXXXX I've seem in many screenshots of other people having activation problems.
My previous OS was Windows 7 SP1 OEM that came shipped with the laptop and was never formatted (and the hardware was never changed). I kept my personal data while making the upgrade.
Another issue I'm having which I don't know if it is related or not to the activation problems, is that Window Update have tried and failed many many times to install package KB3074683.
For the record, the activation screen was different and I haven't received any message about the system not being activated before creating a Microsoft account in the XBox app (and I still log on the computer with my local account).
How to activate my Windows 10? I'd like to make a clean install but I'm afraid of doing so before my I get my license and not be able to roll back to Win7 if I can't activate it.
I have genuine windows 7 sp1 installed on my i5 laptop and i wanted to install latest windows 10 build in my laptop so i downloaded and run windows 10 technical preview app. it said getting ready to update for few minutes and then it opened windows updates and windows updates after checking for updates said that no updates are available.. i have restarted windows but problem is same.
I have been trying to update for a long time now. But the final upgrade wit keeps on saying : There's a problem please try again later. I have windows 7 (it's compatible to upgrade) and it's not a pirated version.
[URL] .... I have enclosed a gif showing my problem, as the window opens fine, but when I hit 'Ok, let's continue', it'll just say 'Working on it..' and then promptly close. I've restarted my computer several times to no avail. A couple of days I ago I activated it and it worked fine until I cancelled the download.
I want to upgrade from windows 7 to windows 10. My c drive size is 50 gb. currently i have 10 gb free space in my c drive. Will I be able to upgade to windows 10?
The other day my brother came to me with his laptop saying it had stopped working. It couldn't run. It would start loading Windows 7 then freeze... and never resume. I tried the repair disks, but they didn't work. Since we were already planning on upgrading it to Windows 10 I decided to kill two birds with one stone. After installing Windows 10 with a full reset it had the same problem as before, when loading Windows it froze and never resumed.
I've formatted the drive multiple times and, despite my best efforts, wasn't able to fix the drive. It's at the point where it begins booting the computer then goes to a orange and white striped screen.
So I recently built my PC and had ordered Windows 8.1, but it said that it was upgradeable to Windows 10. So I started the computer up after completion, then installed windows. When I got to the desktop it asked me if I wanted to upgrade to Windows 10. I said no because I wanted to research and see if it was stable enough. So today I decided to try it, but found out that I can no longer upgrade.
Just bought an HP stream, it doesn't have enough memory for me to upgrade to windows 10.
I ordered a micro sd card online, should be here in two days. My two questions are:
Can you install windows 10 on a micro sd card? And if you can, how would I uninstall windows 8.1, and install the windows 10 onto the laptops hard drive?
Update: I know this sounds stupid but, I downloaded classic shell. I HATE windows 8 and thought the only solution was to upgrade to windows 10, but the shell seems to suffice. Thread closed.
Ever since I upgrading to windows ten there seem to be a huge decrease in game performance when playing games and i have tried to rule out my computer as being the issue.
Just a look at the rig I am running: AMD FX8370 OC @ 4.6ghz nice n cool 16 GB DDR3 1866 RAM ripjaw GTX 980 SLI and ALL SSD drives all held together on msi 970 (killer) board
For instance, counter strike go. everyone knows it can be run on almost a phone by now im running 30 FPS when before windows 10 i would run 200 FPS
h1z1 before windows 10 was always over 130 FPS now 20 FPS and the list goes on.
Here are a few things ive done SINCE my FRESH windows 10 OS WIPE!! (don't tell me to run a file checker like Microsoft did via chat)
uninstall and reinstall more then 4 nvidia video drivers from the newest to a couple older ones hoping for better results & yes i made sure to get rid of all old drivers.
take out one video card hoping it was sli issue
check for ram leaks ( i know not likely due to problem occurring after windows 10 )
try another video card, installed proper drivers and got same results
And finally a clean OS wipe, played around with quite a lot of settings and still no go
