There was an update last year (I don't recall when) which required you to
do it then or you would not get future updates.

I don't know why M$ makes it so hard to keep a computer updated. There
should be a limited number of software configurations for a properly
updated, running computer, but they seem to want to start from scratch
every time.

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I found info on the windows 7 update error which walked me thru stopping 
serviced renaming some files, doing some other command prompt items then 
restarting. It’s now checking for updates. It’s possible no updates have been 
running on this machine for a while.

I will have to check. I do know I have a windows 7 update issue. When I go to 
check for updates it gives me red error and can’t do it. I need to work that 
one out too, might be related.

Kaleb,
I may have missed it before, but can you tell me what the pc is that you are 
upgrading?  For example, maker/model, processor, mem amt. and type, HD and free 
space, etc.  Also, have you checked that you have the latest Win7 OS upgrades 
and that your BIOS is current.  Also, I would suggest removing any odd cards 
that may be in the PC.  There maybe be something like the BIOS issue I had on 
my old Vostro 200.  There are some processor features that Win10 requires be 
turned on that Win7 did not care about.  Once I upgraded my BIOS on the Vostro, 
the upgrade flew right through.

[MBZ] Windows 10 upgrade on PC

[ROGER HALE via Mercedes]

Kaleb,
Have you checked that you have the latest updates for Win7 before you try to do 
the upgrade?  Also, it may be that you are upgrading from an Ultimate version, 
which is possible, but again, it should end up as Win10 Pro.  I've only 
upgraded from Win7 Pro 64-bit to Win10 Pro 64-bit and that has worked great on 
several PCs.

Kaleb,
Reboot your win 7 computer to safe mode. Then find the option that 
lets you
boot it to a previous date when it ran on Win 7. [should be a list of 
saved

times when it did backups...
The earlier boot backup will have the Win 7 key and run normally... from
that, recover the key.
Win 10 wants to take over, so when it installs it wipes out the registry,
thus your Win 7 key file to take over..
I hate everything Win 10 does. Personally, I intend to run Win 7 until its
wheels fall off..
Perhaps, by then.. "Win 12 or something will work"...

Yea I have that and it shows no key activated

Microsoft - Windows 7 Ultimate (x64)    00426-065-4097422-86619 (Key: 
none activated)


Now that I think about it the install I used was some sort of 
enterprise version I got from my brother which can supposedly be 
installed on multiple computers.  I used this same install on my 
laptop that the screen when out.  I will hook it up to my monitor then 
run Belarc on it and get the key off that computer.  Wait nevermind 
that wont work because I upgraded that laptop to 10 already.  Crap.  I 
am going to have to hunt for the CD or else pay for a license.

restore from backup.   You did   make a backup before you started this, 
Right?   Or you have a backup from last week?


there IS a log somewhere on your machine that will have the info about 
WHY the downgrade failed.   This log will be destroyed when you restore 
from backup.

I have no idea. I have a 2 tb SSD which I just installed not long ago 
and everything was running great. It was installing and I left it 
along then came back later and it was restarting in windows 7. Just 
said installation failed and rolled back the changes. Previous to this 
I checked the properties and it said windows 7 was active and genuine. 
Now it’s as if the product key is missing and wants me to activate. I 
can’t seem to find disc I used which has the key on it. Right now it 
keeps say I need to activate now.


When I did it on my laptop it also failed the first time and rolled 
back to win 7 but did not have the missing key issue. I just ran it 
again and it took on the 2nd time/

Re: [MBZ] windows 10 upgrade on PC

What what I read looks like it could be something with an antivirus program. 
Only thing that was running on this machine was the Microsoft security 
essentials. During the install it says something about it not being compatible 
so I disabled it. On 2nd attempt it said same thing. I just installed it and 
will try it again and see what happens.

It looks like it installs 10 but then does updates which fail so it reverts 
back.

> I'd like to have 64 thinking that I can use the 8 GB of RAM installed.

The 'bitness' of an OS is not a single number.  There's half a dozen ways to 
measure this,
each with different implications.  There have been any number of '32-bit' OS's 
in the past
that are quite capable of using more than 4GB of RAM.  It's just that no single 
_process_
could directly use more than 4GB unless that process was using a 64-bit address 
space.

There's a lot to be said for using 32-bit processes on a 64-bit-capable 
machine/OS.  They
tend to use memory more efficiently.  I have a small write-up:

Re: [MBZ] windows 10 upgrade on PC

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I bought a key for $4 If I waited a few minutes could have tried your way.

I still prefer windows 7 but have gotten used to 10.

Re: [MBZ] windows 10 upgrade on PC

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Kaleb,
Reboot your win 7 computer to safe mode. Then find the option that lets you
boot it to a previous date when it ran on Win 7. [should be a list of saved
times when it did backups...
The earlier boot backup will have the Win 7 key and run normally... from
that, recover the key.
Win 10 wants to take over, so when it installs it wipes out the registry,
thus your Win 7 key file to take over..
I hate everything Win 10 does. Personally, I intend to run Win 7 until its
wheels fall off..
Perhaps, by then.. "Win 12 or something will work"...

Creating the Windows 10 media on a USB drive, slow going so far. Creating both 
32 bit and 64, I'd like to have 64 thinking that I can use the 8 GB of RAM 
installed. Finished the download, verification in progress. Back to domestic 
work til this and a backup of current system is complete.

So I'm finally left alone at home with enough time to try the upgrade. Plan is 
to install a bigger faster SSD, then try to upgrade from Win 7 Pro to Win 10.

I have the Pro key, but only have installation media (and the key) for Win 7 
Home. Let's see if I can make this work

Now that I think about it the install I used was some sort of enterprise 
version I got from my brother which can supposedly be installed on 
multiple computers.  I used this same install on my laptop that the 
screen when out.  I will hook it up to my monitor then run Belarc on it

because I upgraded that laptop to 10 already.  Crap.  I am going to have

and rolled back the changes. Previous to this I checked the properties and it

[MBZ] windows 10 upgrade on PC

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I did the upgrade on my main PC yesterday and it failed for some reason 
and reverted back to win 7.  Problem is the registration key seems to 
have vanished.  It now says it is not registered. Anybody heard of 
this?  I can't locate my win 7 installation cd with the key on it.  I 
guess I may end up having to buy windows 10.
