Windows 10 upgrade contradiction

0
I've got Windows 7 and I'm trying to go through the Windows 10 free upgrade process. The first screen says I'm unable to upgrade due to compatibility issues so when I click the View Report option to see the issues, the report says there are now issues and that I'm good to go and that my PC will work with Windows 10. I used to get an option to upgrade to Windows 10 but I wasn't ready to upgrade then but now it is saying there is an issue. Please help as I'd like to get this resolved before I upgrade.

Cannot connect to internet after upgrading to W10 and reverting to W7

0
0
Hi everyone,

I'm getting a bit desperate here. Today I tried upgrading to Windows 10. After doing so, I had some trouble connecting to the internet. After shutting down and rebooting, the problem was mostly fixed, but any time I ran a restart rather than shutting down, I lost my internet connection. Then, shortly thereafter, I lost my connection completely. So, I reverted to W7.

Unfortunately, reverting to W7 did not fix my problem. In the "Network Connections" window, I get "Unidentified network" under my Local Area Connection. If I run the troubleshooter, it tells me "Local Area Connection doesn't have a valid IP configuration." I have searched all over and found numerous people with the same problem, but none of the solutions are working for me.

Any advice on what I can try? I'm sure you'll need some more information from me. Just let me know what you need, and I'll be happy to provide it.

Thank you very much for any help you can offer.

My computer running win 7 Home Premium is dying. I did a C: backup,

I just noticed the instruction to change my password, using the forgot password process. As I understand that will trigger an e-mail to me, BUT my e=mail address has also changed, and the one registered no longer functions.

I tried to change from the USER CP but that does not work.

What to do?

PC won't start after an update.

Hello everyone, I'm having a major problem with my PC & hopefully someone can help or at least diagnose what's wrong. I'm not very smart with computers.

I'm curious to know if need a new computer entirely or if this is a monitor problem or what.

This is the desktop i own (HP Prodesk 400/480 G1 MT)

Basically what happened was.. I was using my desktop computer just fine and it said i needed an update (In order to complete the update it needed to restart) and now it shows this and i have no clue what to do.





Oh, the DVD thingy would open and close (Just like before) and there were no beeping of any sorts (This is a good sign, right?)

Please, please let me know if you need additional information to make it easier for you to solve this problem. I have a lot of important work data on that PC.

Thank you very much for reading. :thumb:

I read a number of recovery attempts but all seem a little different and I am not sure what recovery attempt I should try without cause more problems.


I would appreciate some help, please.

Cursor Jumping Around While Typing

0
0
Hello. I'm new to the forum so please pardon if this is not in the right section.

Here is an issue I need help with: I have a Dell EliteBook 8460p, with Intel CORE i5, Windows 7. It says Dell on the laptop lid but reads HP on the screen. Whenever I try to type any kind of content at all, the cursor simply jumps around, usually jumping up 3-6 lines. This makes coding impractical and sending a basic e-mail or writing a blog post can take triple the time it usually would since the cursor is jumping all around while I type.

I see that the Scroll/num lk button is lit but I can't depress it to turn the lithht off and I'm wondering if this is what's causing the issue. If it is causing the issue, there's does not seem to be any way (that I can it see now) to turn it off. Just typing this paragraph cause the cursor to jump up or 2-3 sentences so I've had to retype things multiple times.

Can anyone please help? Thank you. :smile:

Gigs (disk space) disappearing!

0
0
Hi.

I don't know but gigabytes (on my HDDs) seem to be disappearing. I had just over 200 gigs of available space on one of my drives just a couple of days prior to downloading a game (60 gigs). I look at the drive after the download and it showed 98 Gigs of available space left! How? Where did those other 40+ gigs go?

Just minutes ago I hooked up my 3rd internal HDD (just for a short period). My second drive (different from the one mentioned above) showed 147 Gigs available just before I hooked up the 3rd HDD then immediately after that (after I rebooted my PC) it showed 140 Gigs! So, 7 gigs just disappeared right after hooking up my 3rd drive. I'm talking within minutes. Didn't do anything other than hooking up another HDD. What's happening here? I'm looking at all the stuff that's installed but things just don't add up.

Any idea?

Thanks .

I've only seen people having one issue or the other but here I have both. If I leave my PC off and boot it up it works normally for a window between 20-30 mins. It then restarts it self but with no signal to the monitor. I've tried running scans for viruses/malware and a windows memory diagnostic so far but it reboots before completion. Somebody please help.

Hi, I'm having problems on my Toshiba laptop, Java will not install, I normally use Chrome but have tried other browsers as well, always from the Java website, always Run as Administrator, simply nothing happens, no pop up nothing, except that when I click the application again it just says an installation is already in progress....except it isn't...? tried closing browsers..nothing.

Problem with extracting license key

0
0
A friend of mine's laptop gave up the ghost just after he brought a brand new hard drive!
He took the hard drive out of it, put it in a caddy in my test system, it can see the drive, but is there a way to extract the license key from it, considering there are other disks in the test system?

I have tried this but to no avail (It says it cannot find the hive!)

  1. I copied the config folder (mentioned above) to my USB drive using Ubuntu to get access to the hard drive.
  2. On another Windows machine, I installed MJBKF and plugged in the USB drive.
  3. MJBKF didn't work if I pointed it to the config folder. So I thought to duplicate the directory structure it might normally see in Windows.
  4. I created a windows folder, and then created a system32 folder in it.
  5. I then moved the config folder into the system32 folder.
  6. MJBKF worked fine when I pointed it to the newly-created windows folder. I was able to get my Windows XP Key!
(W7 Pro is installed on the disk that is in the caddy)


I have got a copy of Win XP on my test system, I point it to the 'caddy' drive, installed Win 7 Pro on VirtualBox, as it may have wanted the same system installed, but that didn't work!)


Any clues?

Found a deal on a cheap Intel SSD 160GB. Not what others recommended above, but what I can afford considering I wasn't sure it would make a difference if there is a MoBo problem.

Did a re-install from the Recovery discs I made when the notebook was brand new before anything else was installed or updated. That went fine; took a little over an hour to complete.

Once done, it booted properly. I have not done any Windows Updates yet. I plan on trying the Convenience Rollout noted in one of the threads above.

So far, all that is installed is MS Security Essentials, MalwareBytes, SeaMonkey and a utility called CookieCop that helps block unwanted cookies and referrers. At this point, C: Used Space is 34Gb with 115Gb free.

I am posting this message from it.

I'm really not sure where to go from here. I had GodMode installed and a few other things to tweak appearance, so I'll need to find those again.

It's truly a fresh start and I need to do a new Acronis backup before I get much further.

windows updates issues for WIN 7!

0
0
Windows 7 sp1 ultimate edition 64 bit edition, after I did a fresh install of this os on my main PC and added the valid key and activated that key I tried to do updates on the PC and could do any other than maybe 10 total updates for windows 7 over 5 to 6 days. I have NEVER had this much of an issue with doing or downloading windows updates before going back to using windows 2000 pro!Just a heads up I went ahead and installed Windows 8.1 pro. instead since I just didn’t have this kind of time to deal with this issue, just a heads up hope I am the only one with this issue. I am not sure if MS is preventing people from doing windows updates on Win 7 to force people to go to windows 10 or was it just something on my end!
