Yes, it was indeed that step #2 took a long time. I wasn't thinking back to my DOS days, and didn't know that the command would create an actual log of things it was doing. So all the "output"...
Now trying Slicendice's suggested steps of 2 weeks ago. Had decided to wait and try every few days to see if the problem self-corrected, or if a further release/update from Microsoft permitted things...
Is there an existing thread somewhere here, where users have discussed issues when this KB installation fails?
I see from various internet search hits, that there are such cases, and unfortunately...
There might be a way. Going to post this so others can comment on whether it would work:
1) Perform the Windows 10 upgrade on your existing Windows 7 installing- meaning onto your hard drive.
2)...
Since he said it was an SSD Hybrid, I suspect he can not do any partition shifting. The 50gbyte is a physical SSD and the 750 is a physically separate HDD.
I cannot speak to whether the upgrade process will work for a case of having moved the pgm folder to another drive. Frankly, I wouldn't risk it unless you have plenty of evidence that it has been...
No and Maybe and No.
No, you must apply the upgrade onto the drive that you have Windows booted on at the time of the upgrade.
However, maybe if you only have your current OS on the C: Drive,...
Can you elaborate on what you mean by customizations?
Not an exhaustive list, but something to give us a feel for what exactly you mean.
This IS the accurate statement, and this is what they mean exactly:
When you did the Windows 10 free upgrade, it saved your old OS things in backup folders on your hard drive. For up to 30 days...
Alot of the drivers aren't necessarily migrating well. Check your printer's manufacturer's site for Windows 10 specific drivers.
Hopefully Ztruker's suggestion will get you past the blockage.
Something to consider if not- it sounds like whatever problem stopped you from doing the first attempt to upgrade is also messing up...
Perhaps. However I wasnt really commenting on the wording.
For the record, 2 drives with 2 instances of the same OS (different service packs) and same key works fine when dual booting an pre-Win10...
Gotta love the even the MS support people are confused about it.
The ultimate answer makes sense though. Basically, as long as you wipe out the OS on your prior computer, you can use it on your...
Are you saying that once activated the client side OS will never cross check again with the activation servers?
It was my understanding that activation tagged your key to your os and your computer...
Probably good to put in both sections- people are more likely to see this section before the other.
Correct on doing any kind of clean install first with any kind of key. The free upgrade path is...
Ah.
I believe even prior versions of Windows would start purging old "data" once the C drive became full. Not sure whether that is automatic- it's been a very long time since I tripped that...
Typically the only upgrades that will trigger de-activation would be replacing the motherboard/cpu and/or NIC.
For complete replacements you are correct. Brink's last paragraph has the crux of it-...
While I am not certain, something seems amiss with the size of your ISO.
When I did the ISO creation onto a USB flash drive, the size was about 3.1gbytes total. That has been confirmed by a number...
I have the same issue- want to be able to dual boot until certain the Windows 10 issues can be managed with our care-about apps.
It's unfortunate that the wording and implementation is so tight....
Could the folders be hidden?
Not sure what the bumping rules are for this forum, but hopefully 18hrs later is ok!
Since Microsoft did away with the highly configurable backup & restore from the WinXP and earlier days, what would be a reasonably equivalent app that is Win10 compatible?
Well again the idea is to primarily run Windows 7 say until we are sure that Windows 10 will properly support things we require, but still have Windows 10 testing abilities.
This approach would...
Actually you can say it stronger.
Changing the drive will not deactivate you. It works exactly the same as any Windows setup. If you clone your drive to a bigger one/different one/etc it doesn't...
Some data to help you judge things better:
I used the Media Creation tool and it pulled about 4 gbytes of data total to create the bootable media- in my case a USB device with about 3.1gbytes of...
