NavyLCDR. I hope you are pleased when your advice works. As a conclusion to this saga I did start afresh and make a clean install of Windows 10. It went well and I am now activated with the current...

I really appreciate your help. It does indeed look as if my installation is messed up (I could use stronger language!). The version I should be on is indeed the one now on my desktop!

I think I...

Yes I have the sticker and the W 7 product key shown is different to the one on ShowKeyPlus. I am afraid I tried that first and it does not work. Prior to upgrading I did check the W 7 key in my...

Thanks done that and here are the results which all look sensible and informative. I tried the install key in the activation window and it comes back with error 0x80070424. I see this relates to...

Stayed up! Odd but putting in the command (admin) 'slmgr /dlv' does give the enormous string I sent. I see my version of W10 differs from yours. Incidentally this problem all seemed to start when I...

Ah! It did look pretty lengthy and not sure what I have released to the world now!!

Can you amplify slightly how I produce what you want and I will look at it tomorrow (after midnight in the UK...

Thanks so much NavyLCDR. Here it is (pretty long!!

I am going nuts. I have an Alienware M17x previously running W7 Home. I upgraded to W10 Home last week (V1511). It went well and W10 was shown as activated with a digital entitlement. Great....

A sincere thank you for your help. I have followed your advice and so far the upgrade has worked well and I have W10 and the Windows Store. I did exactly as Navy LCDR suggested. My only issue was...

Thanks very much for your help. I will try an upgrade...........fingers crossed. much appreciated. I will let you know how it goes!

I have a silly problem. I run W 8 on my desktop computer but have never been able to upgrade to W 8.1 as I have never been able to open Windows Store, despite multiple solutions none of which have...

Well I have learned an immense amount in two days! I must say that here in the UK, having read a multitude of computer magazines about upgrading to Windows 10, I have never once seen the suggestion...

I understand your stance but would take issue with 'they assume end users will take the 15 - 30 minutes to research how to install an OS.' Many of my fellow computer users will not do so given...

Thanks JW0914, it seems very clear that this is a driver issue. Don't worry I do not blame you for not wanting to repeat the same solution; I can read back into this thread. Now I am moderately...

Thanks Imaneke. I am actually pretty happy with W7 and upgraded only because I would like the current OS so I will probably revert if I can. A computer which freezes every few minutes is worse than...

Yes Tully I too am frustrated. Why can they not simply resolve such a basic issue. Although not the place on this thread I am writing this from my W8 desktop that I have never been able to upgrade...

Thanks for the suggestion. If I do this will it retain my set up or does it effectively wipe everything and give me new computer with W10?

Sorry to be a beginner here.

I just joined the Forum and am both horrified and depressed, (not by the Forum I hasten to add!) I have finally, after multiple attempts, managed to upgrade my Dell laptop to W10 from W7 and like the...
