Windows 10 Pro Free Upgrade

http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1038404-windows-10-imaging-question
Have a look at that thread. Chris posted a really useful infographic on licensing.

Hi,
We have a number of HP PCs with Win7 Pro pre-installed. Can anyone advise if these are covered by the free upgrade to Windows 10?
I've received the upgrade reservation notices on my personal Windows devices, but obviously not on our work devices, so how will it work in a corporate environment?
We use WSUS.
Thanks,
Graham

  • Support for windows 10 FREE UPGRADE for E Machines EL1358G WITH NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE NForce 30

    i have an emachines EL1358g-51w that came with a NVIDIA GeForce 6450SE NForce 30 ( i believe motherboard ) and i went to upgrade my current windows 7 home basic to the new Windows 10 free upgrade ( which microsoft indicated that i was eligible for the free upgrade one month or so ago ) ..... on sunday i went to upgrade through microsoft now microsoft indicates " the display manufacturer ( emachines/acer ) hasn't made your display compatible with windows 10. check with the manufacturer for support "i went to the nvidia websight ...they indicate see emachines .... i went to the emachines websight ...they indicate see the acer websight ...the acer websight ( per their live agent ) indicates i have to wait until ACER does the update for my specific computer ...DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN THIS UPDATE WILL BE AVAILABLE ...

    mrtease3,
    I do not see your unit listed as an eligible model that eMachines will be posting drivers for Windows 10. The drivers that we have posted on our support site are what we have qualified for the system, and based on the age of the unit there will not be newer ones uploaded. If you want to remove the installed graphics driver and try to install one directly from NVidia you can see if that will resolve it for you.

  • Logic Pro free upgrade?

    Is it free to upgrade Logic Pro when a new version is released?  I want to buy Logic but I don't want to waste $200 if a newer version will be released within a few months that I would also have to buy.  Thanks for your help.

    You might want to call Apple on that one, this is a User forum, we would only be speculating. Everyone knows a new version of Logic is coming out, probably in the next few months but honestly, no one knows when and if they did they can't say. Usually if you purchase the softer and a new version comes out in a certain time frame the upgrade would be free... but I don't think anyone knows how long the free upgrade window is going to cover.

  • Windows 8 free upgrade tool for model VPCF226FM

    Hi everyone I used before to download the free upgrade tool from support website, where it helped me to uninstall incompitable drivers/tools/utilities and re-install them later after upgrading to Windows 8 I am not able to find that tool anymore and downloading/installing drivers one by one is not working fine. I have removed power management & Vaio control center and re-installed more than dozen time and still have same issue as unable to use FN keys to control brightness

     
    Hi athensguy, 
    Thank you for considering Sony Community! 
    I am not sure what specific application you used before but all drivers and software that is compatible with your machine are listed on eSupport website. If you are refereeing to the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8, please visit this link: Windows® 8 Upgrade Instructions for VAIO® PCs 
    If your main issue is the function key (Fn), you may follow these steps to troubleshoot the laptop. 
    Power Cycle - Remove the battery and all peripherals -> press and hold the power button for 5 seconds
    Reset BIOS. 
    Got o Device Manager -> Keyboards -> right click Keyboard driver -> Uninstall (DO NOT DELETE) -> restart the laptop. The driver will be reinstalled.  
    Download or update all the drivers from eSupport website.  
    For further assistance, we kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
    Hope these help.

  • No sound after Windows 10 free upgrade from WIN7 on G71-340US laptop with IDT CODEC.

    After free upgrade from WIN7 to WIN10 my laptop no longer has any sound (with internal or external speakers). I have tried uninstalling IDT driver and allowing Windows 10 to reinstall the driver through scan for HW changes - still no sound. I would appreciate any guidance or fixes for this problem. Thank you.

    I am happy to report I now have sound on my G71-340US laptop. After further trial and error troubleshooting I found that there is an app called IDT PC Audio (aka IDT HD Sound) installed on my laptop by HP (OEM) I think. While I'm not exactly sure what this app's function is it appears it is related to activating IDT HD Codec drivers functionality. Somehow I decided to look in Task Manager - Startup and saw this IDT PC Audio listed. I clicked on disable and then a minute later clicked on enable. After I did that, as simple as it appears, I now was able to hear sound both on internal and external speakers. This is the first time I heard any sound since upgrading to WIN10. I have checked it several times by re-booting my laptop and each and every time I now have sound. I'll continue to test this through the week and see if it continues to be OK. Meanwhile, I thought I would share this potential fix (or workaround) with all concerned. Perhaps others will find this useful and provide me your feedback. Keeping my fingers crossed! PS. BTW, if anyone out there knows what IDT PC Audio is by all means share your knowledge. I am curious why this app doesn't appear more often in the forum posts and how it may relate to the WIN10 upgrade. Sorry, but I don't recall what prompted me to look at Task Manager - Startup but I'm glad I did. It's great to hear sound again!

  • Loss of sound to speakers/ headphones after Windows Pro 8 upgrade

    Product Name  = Satellite U205-S5034
    I upgraded my laptop from XP media SP3 to Windows 8 Pro and chose the option of keeping only personal files. After the installation the laptop was running well and there didnt seem to be any problems so I deleted the old windows files. I did not however check the sound and on doing so later I discovered the issue and after reading the forum I seen the issue with the upgrade not loading the speakers driver. I have tried down loading the drivers but to no avail. I can hear the sound very faintly whilst wearing headphones but all the volume levels are on max! I have tried all the recommended fixs within the control panel etc. but still have no sound. I cannot take my laptop back to factory settings as my Toshiba load discs that I got when I purchased are not recognised. Please Help!!

    Hi Bill,
    Thanks for your helpful suggestion.
    In fact I had already done that, I created an avi file (video+sound) and imported it into Encore.
    It worked OK and I made the DVD.
    However, the whole point of using Premiere and Encore together is that I should have been able to export/import the project without rendering or making an intermediate file, and this is not working, except for very short files.
    I have raised a support case on this.
    Thanks again,
    Doug.

  • Windows 10 Free Upgrade and USB Recovery Creation

    With the free Windows 10 upgrade coming at the end of the month, what will happen when we try to create a new USB recovery drive?  I have created a USB recovery with the current Windows 8.1, will Acer be supporting this new upgrade?  (same drivers for laptop, etc..?)

    check my answer under windows 10 section:http://community.acer.com/t5/Windows-10/Upgrading-to-Windows-10/td-p/370236/jump-to/first-unread-message by the way Acer will support windows 10 with newer drivers when available and tested.

  • Is the Sattelite L755-S5216 (Win7, SP1) compatable with the Windows 10 free upgrade?

    Hi,I'd like a response from someone with Toshiba. I assume the company monitors this board, though I know it is staffed by volunteers. I tried e-mailing my questions directly to support, but  my queries were returned. . Anyway...Has Toshiba developed a compatability guide identifying any issues with the upgrade and my product. If so, please send me a link to it; if not, when can such a guide be expected? As you know, Microsoft begins rollout on July 29th, so time is short and I need make a decision to reserve quickly. Thanks...

    Guides haven't been published yet, but people are working on them.
    We expect that the majority of Windows 7 models will be compatible, but this isn't final.
    As a quick aside, what e-mail were you using? Support doesn't offer e-mail services.

  • Windows 10 free upgrade will not load in my aspire V17 791, have the latest drivers i think.

    Getting this error constantly,  tried physical ethernet connection, and wireless connection, they both look like they're downloading the upgrade, then when it's supposed to reboot into the windows 10 install, it never does, it just goes back to my old win 8.1 and i see it errored out, with this.  WindowsUpdate_80240054   which says i need updates, but i dont' see any new updates on acers website, nor is there any new windows updates to d/l.   So i'm at a loss, anyone else have trouble with windows 10?

    Thanks Justin,
    I did find the solution in that series of emails but it definitely was a windows problem. what I had to do to get it to work was actually disable my HD by unplugging it and then did another clean install in which it used my ssd as the main drive and installed fine. if anyone else has this problem you can post here and I can tell you what I did. but basically just powered down, unhooked HD then loaded windows 10 then powered down and re plugged in the hard drive and everything was good.

  • After win 10 upgrade what to do with win 7 free upgrade disk

    Is the windows 7 free upgrade that i got when i bought my l305-s5946 somehow linked with the windows 10 upgrade, or can i use it to upgrade a different toshiba laptop from vista to win 7 with out any problem.any info on this would be helpful. I bought a fixerupper laptop (same model), bought the vista recovery disks and was told that the free win 7 upgrade for that model was no longer available, so, i would realy like to upgrade it to win 7 if possible, with the upgrade that i already have that is not being used now.thanks

    Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive.  Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth)  around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
    If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.
    Ciao.

  • Reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after upgrading to windows 8.1 and now cannot scan

    Reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after upgrading to windows 8.1 and now cannot scan through Adobe, although Scanner says its combatible with Windows 8. Cannot reinstall drivers because Brother claims they're built-in. Help!

    1. Re: Reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after upgrading to windows 8.1 and now cannot scan
    Anubha Goel
    I am using a Brother MFC 8460N and on Brother's site it says its compatible with win 8.1 and that the driver is already installed. When I try to scan I am told there is no preset (there was with win 7 though) and I have to "custom scan." When I try that, I hear a sound as if the printer is trying to scan, but the feeder can't pull the paper through. I then get a blank .pdf as my scan. Thanks for your advice. I will try that.
