Good for you if the Windows 7 keys work!
Mine DID NOT and they are legit NOT randomly generated keys. Two of my keys are on pre installed Windows computers I own and Microsoft activates them if I...
As mentioned there are two sides to this story for upgrade vs clean install regarding the Win7/8 upgrade. My keys wouldn't work being Win7/8 so I had to use Windows Media Creator tool and get the 10...
Not exactly on using legit activated Windows 7 or 8/8.1 keys!
That window has closed and is no longer an option and I know what I'm talking about because I personally went through this a couple of...
If it has SATA it isn't as ancient as my IDE only boards.
I have some combo boards that also have both and also only SATA and sometimes when the BIOS doesn't like your new larger drive a BIOS...
It depends regarding safe mode. As bobkn mentioned if it doesn't reach the bootable device or if you can't even enter BIOS/UEFI then it's not an OS problem.

I second the wrong as well, especially 64 bit. My socket 939 4800+dual core Toledo can only run 32 bit due to that BS CPU detection. Depending on what the CPU has or doesn't have can be rejected as...
And if you are using them rip them out by the roots
Both are garbage sieves and slow a good computer down.
Yes Jimbo45 I agree with you there as well and this is all I use as well. If I suspect...
Andre you got that right! New fancy words for something described differently in the past. KISS Keep It Stupid Simple!
Updates kind of piss me off because Win7 automatically installed if I selected...
I have been using Windows Defender in 10 and in Win7 have been relying on updates and defender as well.
The worst useless garbage I used was Norton!! Viruses often got through and it also would...
I had an older MSI AM2 Mobo and it had a dual core AMD on it. For $15 I got a small quad core and slapped it in. No reactivation was required but when I reinstalled Win10 on it it wouldn't activate....
Don't overlook a bad GPU as well. I had one that was glitchy cutting in and out and also acting like it had bad drivers, yes that bad and this caused a constant buggy slow operation and followed by a...
Eriknut it sounds like the possibility of a driver being needed??
I had a similar mess and a completely buggy unstable Win10 in a constant boot, short period of operation usually less than 5...
Appleuser58 It depends on how old your Dell is? I ended up with a Dell Dimention 4600 with a 2.8ghz processor but it didn't meet the security requirements of the Win10 install. Find out what the...
How did you upgrade? Win7 keys being used on a downloaded ISO no longer work as I discovered a month ago but using the Microsoft Media Creation tool allowed me to upgrade my legit registered and...
He asked a question and got mostly accusations and flaming.
I had to do exactly the same thing as what the question implied a number of years ago on my socket 939 on an MSI K8N Neo 2 board that...
Give this a try like I did.

My Acer Aspire One netbook had a 250gb 5400rpm spinner and it also had a recovery partition on it as well...
What did this computer originally have? If it had it installed by the manufacturer there will be a recovery/installation partition with the OS installation on it compatible to an installation CD. If...
I had similar problems like this as well when I was experimenting on what 10 would install on and not enough space is most likely your problem. It was for me as well and it takes up conciderably more...
Thanks and you will be surprised how many legit options you really have!
Its easier than you realize and even though the Win 7 keys or even Win 8.1 keys no longer work, the Media creator still...
Or you can simply dual boot it like I did. I was hanging onto Win XP til the bitter end and next was 7 that I never was a big fan of due to it being a resource hog like the crap Vista that brought...
If all else fails get the Windows Media creator and if you want Windows 10 AND if you have a legit copy of Win 7 do a quick install on your hardware. Activate your Windows 7 and once it's activated...
Using the Windows Key and R indicates 3.1gb of Virtual Ram and 900 megs of installed ram available. My guess this virtual memory is the same as when I had Windows 7 and my SD card was used for this...
My second attempt at running Win 10
on my 2009/10 Acer Aspire One AO533 is running again.
This $h!tbox is stampeding along like a herd of Turtles using an Atom N455 1.66ghz and 2 GB of RAM
My...
actually the panel on mine is snapped in place but Acer in their infinite wisdom felt using a plastic knife with the teeth removed or a thin guitar pick to release the snap tabs or latches and remove...
Like I mentioned earlier my Acer I did an upgrade a bit over two weeks ago and the upgrade worked using my 7Starter keys and was upgraded to Home and I'm not talking out of my @$$. I didn't like how...
