Hello. I upgraded to Windows 10 Pro from a legit, activated Windows 7 Pro using Windows Update. It has been refusing to get activated for the last couple days. I think it might be due to the congestion in the MS activation server or whatever they call it. Today I decided to revert back Windows 7 Pro, but the option in the settings to do that is telling me that the files necessary for...

I've been getting an error message every time I try to upgrade my Win7 Pro install to Win10. When I researched the issue I discovered that somehow my system partition was only 37MB instead of the usual 100MB that Windows creates when installing. This probably because I cloned the drive from a 1TB mechanical to my current 256GB SSD a year ago. In any case, I attempted to resize the system...

I have had Win7 Home Premium installed for about 6 months. The key was recovered from an old laptop whose MoBo died, and the warranty expired. The first time I installed it, it was genuine. But now that I wanted to install Win10, it said my key was invalid. So I ran the Windows 7 Home premium installer (that's the key I had) and put in the key. It said it was valid until Windows booted up. It...

Win 7 HP 64-Bit SP1 Attempting a Repair-Reinstall on 1TB Western Digital Hard-Drive. Machine will boot as-is, but I don't want to do a full (clean) install due to the amount of data and stuff on it. The Repair-Install goes as it should (I've done them before) except at the very final re-boot (immediately after key-code entry when it says the system will now re-boot), the screen goes blank and...

I want to do a clean reinstall but when I go to the Microsoft site and enter the product key I get this response: Unsupported Product The product key you entered appears to be for software that was pre-installed on a device. Please contact the...

I have been given an old Windows 7 pc that's running perfectly but only has 360 GB HD.Is it possible to "copy" my existing OS from the small to the new and then replace it with the larger one, I only have a narrow slot for a second HD and I'm not sure I could add another to the pc. I have read about cloning and would like to know if that's the way I should go, I am not expertly knowledgeable on...

My parents computer has died and after carrying out some tests I believe the MB has died. The board, cpu and memory are now a bit dated and having looked at replacing the MB I am unable to find one of the same spec. By far the easiest option is to buy a new base unit but this would come without an OS. Is it possible for me to retain the current Win 7 OS and use it on a new PC? Is has...

Yesterday I began the processing of migrating my C: drive contents to a newer larger SSD. i used Clonezilla to copy to the new hard drive. I thought everything had gone OK but it didn't (of course) :(. The new hard drive was recognized as the C: drive; the old hard drive was recognized, but only in Disc Manager and Windows would not boot unless i booted from the old SSD. Through a process of...

Hi, I'd like to re-install from scratch the OEM Windows that came with the Toshiba S40B that I bought last week. I'm guessing there will be a question of Activation Key at some point and I'd like to figure out what that is before I get there. Any advice will be much appreciated. BTW, have spoken to both MS support and Toshiba support and all they do is redirect the question to each other....

My desktop computer crashed, wiping out the MBR for Windows 7. I have lost the installation disk but have the OEM serial number. The guy who built my computer died a couple of years ago, so I can't get another dopy from him, however, I do have the ISO on my backup drive. I entered my serial number on the Digital River website and they told me to seek support from the original OEM...

Hi, I've got a problem with my Windows 7 pro. Like many others I received the Windows 10 reservation icon a while ago. I reserved Win 10 pro and it started downloading one day. Now Windows 10 is fully downloaded and it offers me to update the OS. But I don't want to update immediately - I'd like to wait some time before upgrading, to make sure that all my hard- and sofware works fine and...

Installation was successful, but I wanted the new install to delete everything in my hard drive and free up space. However I still see remnants of files and folders, and Windows Explorer shows my hard drive to be over half full. Does this mean I should manually wipe the hard drive and then reinstall Windows again? If so, how would I go about doing it? Note that I can't access the internet...
