Re: In the process of upgrading to Windows 10, but a question or two

2016-04-17 Thread Tom Kingston via Talk

This won't be of any help to you, Lynn. But I thought I'd toss it out 
there for others.

After upgrading my four year old system to Windows 10 I eventually 
decided to do a clean install of Windows 10, which can only be done 
after the upgrade.
I then uninstalled all programs with limited registration counts before 
doing the clean install of Windows 10. The clean install improved the 
performance of my system significantly because, at least in part, the 
Windows registry is a digital junkyard after years of installations, 
upgrades, and updates. Power users often do a clean install once a year 
for this reason.

I then of course had to reinstall everything. But it was certainly worth 
it. The boost in overall system performance was very noticeable.

Regards,
Tom

Yes please do read carefully.  I made the mistake of installing Windows
10 and tried to roll back to Windows 7 and instead reset my machine.

Now, I'll never be able to go back to Windows 7 and my copy of Cakewalk
is no longer good.

I just downloaded  the media tool, and will soon give it a go.

Here is the link to the media tool. As was previously suggested, read 
the info carefully. That is always good advice anyway.

Carol, I just installed Windows 10 using the media creation tool. All 
went well until WE came up in demo mode. I will send you my copy, but 
could you refresh my memory about how to enter a serial number so that I

Re: In the process of upgrading to Windows 10, but a question or two

2016-04-16 Thread Carol and Roger via Talk


OK, I give up.

Can someone please send me the link to download the media tool to 
upgrade to Windows 10 on a 64-bit Windows 7 PC running Home Premium?  I 
would even be pleased to burn it to disk or a flash drive..  Thank you.

If the download is still showing 0 percent, close that download and
start the download  from the beginning again.

Subject: In the process of upgrading to Windows 10, but a question 
or two


Listers,

Maybe this has been thoroughly covered in previous discussions, but if
so, it has been missed by me.

I have been in the process of upgrading to Windows 10 since around
7:30pm yesterday evening, and it is now a little after 4am, and I am
still getting the words when tabbing through the page "Starting
Download" and "loading," but no apparent movement in the process.

I elected to download rather than install, because I thought that
downloading would give me a better chance of scheduling when the
installation and upgrade would take place, hopefully at a time more
convenient for me. Was this indeed the right choice?

I realize that this process can take a day or two to complete
altogether, but not getting any feedback or indication of action is a
bit disconcerting to say the least.

Thanks for any help with all of this in advance. I am just a bit
apprehensive about this upgrade to begin with, but this waiting with no
apparent time table is making me a bit crazy .

Thanks again, and am looking forward to working with W10 when it indeed
actually presents itself for installation.

Larry

Re: In the process of upgrading to Windows 10, but a question or two

2016-04-16 Thread Larry Higgins via Talk



Michael,

Do you remember where you found the media tool, and if so, where.

I really don't mind waiting a bit for my download, but I really don't 
appreciate having no indication as to if the download is even taking 
place. I see  no indication that any vestige of the file has been 
downloaded anywhere, not even in the temp folder. I've checked the temp 
folder by using the run command, and typing temp. I guess that is the 
right way to go about it, as well as the proper folder to be looking for 
files in the process of being created or in this case, downloaded. Of 
course, I keep my eye on the download folder as well.


Who knows, my frustrations may be over nothing. I mean, this may be 
normal behavior for the upgrade process, but I just don't understand why 
a download process should go so slow, that is if it is going at all.


Anyway, I guess that is enough ranting for one message.

But again Michael, if you could tell me just where to go to find that 
tool, or how to look for it, that might be the answer.


Just hope I have a flash drive big enough for the download. I think it 
is supposed to be something like 3gb?


Thanks,

Larry

Re: In the process of upgrading to Windows 10, but a question or two

2016-04-15 Thread Larry Higgins via Talk


Bob,

The weird thing is that I saw nothing except start and loading download, 
and that was in the form of a web type page. My sighted wife mentioned 
that there was a menu sidebar, but while she was attempting to work with 
it with the mouse, it disappeared. But WE simply never gave me any 
indication that anything else was going on, as in no progress bars, no 
percentages or anything.


I decided to tryVirtual  View just before my wife got up, and saw all 
kinds of options with that, but as I say, they didn't show up at the outset.


According to my wife, it looked like to her that the thing had already 
downloaded, and all I needed to do was find out where it went, but 
beyond that, I really dunno.


What I find kind of curious is how some people accidentally press the 
button, and can't stop it, but I can't find any evidence that anything 
is going on at all.


I really need some help with this one I'm afraid.

Would you be willing to let me give you a call, or may you give me one, 
and maybe you could possibly walk me through this? I realize that it 
shouldn't be at all necessary, but this is really a most unexpected turn 
of events I'm afraid.
