Installation :: Perform Clean Install On Disk That Has Data Partition?
Aug 20, 2015I've been considering shrinking my one disk (disk 0) to create another volume, a data partition, but I'm still not clear what happens in the event that I want to refresh, reset or clean install Windows 10 in the future. Would the data partition remain or, as I thought I read, Windows will format the entire disk?
View 1 RepliesInstallation :: Upgraded In Old HDD - Now Want To Do Clean Install In New SSD
Aug 1, 2015I successfully upgraded from Win 8.1 to Win 10 (both Pro 64-bit) in PC's old HDD. Now I want do a clean install on a brand new SSD. I have a few questions before I buy the SSD.
1. First off, is it possible to do a clean install of Win 10 in the new SSD especially after I upgraded from Win 8.1 to Win 10 in the old HDD?
2. If 1 is possible, then at any point do I need to enter the Win 10 license key? I have used a Win 10 license key viewing tool to find out what it is.
3. Should I use the Win 10 Media Creation tool to create the ISO or just download an untouched Win 10 Pro 64 bit ISO, burn it to a DVD and do a straightforward install?
4. What happens to the Win 10 in the old HDD? Does it get deactivated on its own?
Performance :: Can't Perform Clean Boot
Mar 5, 2016Basically, I am following the instructions to the letter, and it all looks ok, but when my system restarts, I go back straight back into system configuration and click on the services tab and the 'hide all Microsoft services' box has unchecked itself, also scrolling down the list only a small number of services remain unticked, and both 'enable all' and disable all' functions are available, as per screenshot;
Obviously this isn't how it should be because there are steps in Microsofts 'How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting' procedure which include, 'clear the check box beside Hide all Microsoft services'. But it's already clear when it should be in clean boot mode. And most of the services are running.
The part of the procedure where I go into startup and disable all the items seems to work ok, they are all still disabled when I reboot.
I wondered if it was something to do with my HP Support Assistant, so I disabled that and tried the procedure again, to no avail.

Updates :: Clean Install Not Activated (Hardware Upgraded)
Nov 7, 2015So a few months back I upgraded for free from win7 to win10 Pro. Today I got a new CPU, RAM, MBO (also currently using the new MBO onboard GPU, waiting for my new one) and did a clean install of Win10 (from USB created with MediaCreationToolkit). Now I remember reading somewhere about steps to activate Windows 10 after hardware change, but can't seem to find it anywhere, so thought I'd ask here.The error I'm getting: 0x004C003 The activation server determined the specified product key is blocked.The thing is I need to get this PC up to my needs fast, and this doesn't cope well with that..

View 2 RepliesInstallation :: Multiple Devices Upgraded With Same MS Account
Aug 5, 2015I have upgraded 3 devices from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 (Home)
DeviceDefault OSUpgraded toHP LaptopWindows 8.1 64 BitWindows 10 Home 64 BitHP Desktop PCWindows 8.1 64 BitWindows 10 Home 64 BitDell Venue 8 ProWindows 8.1 32 BitWindows 10 Home 32 Bit
All three devices are logged in with same MS account.
After the upgrade I just noticed that all 3 devices have same Product Key and almost similar Product ID
i.e.
Product Key: AB1DE-FG2IJ-KL3NO-PQ4ST-UV5XY
Product ID: 00123-10000-00000-XY123
Except the last 3 digits in Product ID ( underlined ) everything is exact same on all three devices.
Before upgrade, all devices were using the OEM Product Keys came with them and everything was different. Now it is all the same. I do understand that I am not supposed to get a new Product key for each device or installation, it is a free upgrade that MS will validate online on each installation using some sort of Hardware Hash/ Identity from my devices. But still...
If I now perform clean install on all of, hopefully it shouldn't cause any problem, or would it?MS is giving same Product Key, Product ID to all my devices because they are attached to same MS account, or is MS giving same Product Key/ ID to all who are upgrading from a specific type of Source Windows Version and Edition?Say same Product Key/ ID is only because of same MS account to all 3 devices, suppose I upgrade a fourth device, but before upgrade switch to Local Account, will MS still give me same Product Key/ ID?I install fresh Windows quite a lot of times, like to play around and mess around a lot, when I have time. Sometimes even change (experiment with) RAM, HDD, SSD, and even processor. My concern is that I might lose Windows 10 validity.
Installation :: Dual - Boot System Upgraded Now Win7 Gives Login Error
Nov 25, 2015I have a dual boot system in the following configuration:
HDD-0 = Win7 OS, HDD-1 = Win7 OS, WinXP OS. I have successfully booted into each of these operating systems - and the Win7 OS on HDD-1 is an exact clone of the primary OS on HDD-0.
I just upgraded the Win7 OS on HDD-0 to Windows 10 using the "Get Windows 10" process. I now get the new blue Boot Manger screen with all three OS's listed and I can successfully boot into Windows 10 and Windows XP. But I cannot boot into the Win7 OS on HDD-1 (which I could before the Windows 10 upgrade). How the upgrade even knew about the other copy of Windows 7, since it was not active and lives on another HDD is beyond me.
One strange thing - if I do a cold startup (power on) I get the new Boot Manger screen. But if I do a Restart from Windows 10, I get the old, black & white boot manger screen - and it does list all three OS's correctly, too.
The error message I get when trying to open (boot) the Windows 7 OS is: "LogonUI.exc - Entry point not found. RtlReleasePath could not be located in the ntdll.dll" And, like others, I now get the black screen with "Windows 7, Build 7601 This copy of Windows is not genuine (but it was yesterday before the Windows 10 upgrade on the other HDD).
And like others, I can start the Crtl+Alt+Del to get the screen with users, Task Manger, etc. And, I can run all my applications by manually starting them in a New Task and browsing to the exe file - like Firefox.exe or Word.exe So, it looks like Windows 7 started and may be running. I just can't get into it.
I think both issues, the LogOn and the "Not Genuine" are both related to the Entry Point no located in the ntdll.dll.
At this point I really don't want to reload Windows 7 since it appears to be running and all the apps can be run manually.
All this happened after the upgrade of the other Win7 on HDD-0.

View 1 RepliesFile Explorer Hangs (freezes) When Attempt To Perform Any Function
Jan 9, 2016For the past few months File Explorer "hangs" (freezes) when I attempt to perform any function (delete, move, copy, check properties, etc) on any selected file. I am using Windows 10 (Build 102400). When I launch File Explorer it comes up immediately and all panes in the window look perfectly normal.
But when attempting any function, the "you'll have to wait forever" blue ring comes up, and nothing else happens. A second right click of the mouse initiates the "not responding" message in the top line of the window, and still nothing else.
The programs just hangs in this state for about 15 minutes, after which the action select pull-down pane appears and you can then proceed to successfully carry out any normal file management function you may wish.
Installation :: Updating To Version 1511 After Clean Installation Using MCT?
Jan 11, 2016For those people who CLEAN installed Win 10 using the Media Creation Tool, will it automatically update to Threshold-2 (version 1511 Build 10586.36) through Windows Update once installation had been completed? Or does that have to downloaded separately?
And what is the "KB" Number for version 1511 Threshold-2?

I read that I can use the Windows Key on the back of my laptop but I'm not sure that will work because it's a whole new SSD.

Is there a download source for that since I have already upgraded to Win 10?
