Windows 10 Upgrading OEM isn't working

becuase you have to do an inplace upgrade from windows 7 , 8,or 8.1 to windows 10 with the original os activated (7, 8,or 8.1) Before you can do a clean install of windows 10 after you have done that you can then do a clean install and skip the key part and it will auto activate after install

So, I downloaded the Windows 10 ISO because I wanted to install it and take a look at it on a spare machine. But when I enter the license key from the sticker on the machine, it tells me it's wrong. I figured I'd probably rebuilt it with a different recovery disc and it's actually installed with a different license key. I checked Belarc, and, indeed, a different license key is on there (which could be part of the problem, wanted to check first before I start searching for different recovery discs for a matching key) which I tried, and, again, it failed.This machine was on the domain but I removed it to try to get the windows 10 upgrade icon to show up but it doesn't. I have verified that the necessary updates are installed.So, any thoughts on why the ISO, which I created with a build tool from theaddress below(32-bit) isn't accepting...

After Windows 10 upgrade, scanner application not working

All was working fine prior to Windows 10 upgrade. Everything else works - printing is OK. Am using USB connection. From HP Printer Assistant when I try to activate "Scan an Dcoument or Photo" I get: "The HP Officejet Pro 8600 was not found" Tried the following: -- Switch to network connection. Established connection, but when I start HP Printer Assistant all I get is the Print options. No scan or fax options appear.-- HP Print and Scan Doctor. Loaded new software - not specified what software. The test scans run in this application actually work fine. But then I go back to the HP Printer Assistant and it still can't find the printer. So bottom line - no ability to scan.

Hi I will do my best to help you with getting your Officejet Pro 8600 Plus working with Windows 10.
Here are some Windows 10 resources for you to review first;Windows 10 Upgrade Guide for HP PrintersHP Printers That Work with Windows 10 I would uninstall any HP drivers or software packages, then try installing with a fresh download. If your printer is connected to the computer with a USB cable, disconnect the USB cable from the printer. Search Windows for uninstall a program, and click the Uninstall a program Control Panel setting in the list of results. In the list of installed programs, click your HP printer name, and then click Uninstall or Yes to confirm the uninstall.Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the software removal. If necessary, repeat these steps for any other HP printer-related software in the list.Restart the computer. Then download the newest software package HP Officejet Pro Full Feature Software and Driver. Please let me know if these steps resolved your issue, or if there is anything else I can do to help. I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks,

Windows 8.1 OEM Activation not working anymore ?

Hello,
After asking here on the forum about restoring a deleted partition which question has been solved. We run into another problem.
My sister recently infected the Laptop at a point it became UNUSABLE! The HDD kept filling up, She had over 400GB remaining (girls stuff, unlike guys, they don't download many stuff); but suddenly the HDD filled up from 400GB remaining to 5GB
And...the computer is VERY SLOW at start, it used to take just few seconds to boot, but it took almost 5 minutes to boot when it was infected. We tried many antivirus softwares, the laptop came with a preinstalled one (can't remember which one), beside this, we tried Kaspersky, Avira, Avast, Eset and other Antivirus softwares.
Most of them failed to scan C:/ Drive with a error message such as "unable to scan drive c".
So our best option was to reeinstall the system.
I firstly backep up the OEM Activation Keys (supposedly encrypted in the BIOS). I found useful tutorials online which allowed me to show which activation key is beinf used, so I just copied it in a safe place just in cas somthing go wrong. I didn't use a thirdparty software to display the key! Just Windows tools. A thirdparty application can't be VERY trustfull in term of Licence Keys.
I then downloaded a guenuine Windows 8.1 Pro from MSDN website with a product key.
The installation went flawlessly but when I restarted I noticed Windows Wasn't activated!
I then tried to use the earlier backed up key, sadly it didn't work, windows said that I can't use this key with this edition of windows.
My questions are:
- Can someone tell me WHY can't I use the OEM Activation on all windows edition ?
- Is there any way to get it working on all editions anyways ?
- Will a full reinstallation of Windows 8.1 Non-Pro version be activated automatically by the BIOS ?
- If I buy an activation key for windows 8.1 pro, will this key somehow interfere with the one in the BIOS ?
This question was solved.

2 - Is there any way to get it working on all editions anyways ?
3 - Will a full reinstallation of Windows 8.1 Non-Pro version be activated automatically by the BIOS ?
4 - If I buy an activation key for windows 8.1 pro, will this key somehow interfere with the one in the BIOS ?
1. No it works only for that version that is made for Preminum for Preminum not Preminum for Professional that is a different Product Key.
2. No, You will have to buy each O/S with different Product Key to activiate them
3. No, If that O/S doesn't match the Product Key for the previous O/S it will not work or activiate giving you only 30day trial.
4. No, it will not interfere it will though ask for the new Product Key from the Windows 8.1 Pro to activiate it.
So Product Keys are not tranferrable with the exception that if the replacement Windows Retail matches the previous Product Key Windows O/S version will permit the installation and comes the possiblity that you will have to reactiviate online to verify the Product key to get the O/S working.

Windows 10 Upgrade, Touchpad no longer works on laptop

I upgraded my HP Mini 110 from Windows 7 Starter to Winows 10. It runs fairly smooth but my BIGGEST complaint is that my touchpad no longer responds to taps and scrolling. I used it for just about everything and now I have to use the Left or Right buttons to navigate. FRUSTRATING!!Are there any updates, drivers, patches or Mr FixIt for this? Thanks! -Armando

How did you manage to upgrade to Win 10? I am told graphics will not support it. When I try and update graphics driver I get a failure saying a sub key is not found! Did you have problems with graphics compatability? Regards

Windows 7 upgrade assistant does not work

Well I'm number 28 on the so called helpdesk phone number so I thought I'd try this to see if its any faster!
I'm trying to install Windows 7 with the Toshiba supplied disk to upgrade from Vista.
I have tried 10 times or more but when I use the "Upgrade Assistant" it stops running at the same point everytime and boots me out of the install process.
Step 2 is the problem "Downloading Toshiba Preload Component list" it gets this far then *BANG* it kicks me out of the install.
I have followed all instructions disabling firewall and virus software etc.
On 2 occasions I've had a different problem " Read Failed TUWSETUP program"

Hi
When do the upgrade assistant stops exactly and what error message you get displayed?
Can you also tell us what notebook model you have? Does it support this upgrade?
In my opinion you should also try a new and clean installation of Windows 7 if its possible for you.

Upgrading ram isn't working for me

Hey all,
I have a MBP mid 2009, 2.26ghz. It came stock with 2gb but was running really slow with latest Yosemite so I bought crucial ‘8 gig kit’ (2-4gb DDR3 PC3), 4 gb for each of the two slots. One of the 4 gb cards is working as long as I leave one of the original 2GB cards, bumping me up to a much quicker 6gb. It’s not a bad card, because the other 4gb card works when I swap them out. I’ve tried every scenario, swapping cards in each of the slots to see if it was some weird glitch, to no avail. 2x2 (original works….slowly), 4x2 works, 2x4 works, but 4x4 does not work, the Macbook Pro just beeps over and over. Side note, in the past when i clicked to check the memory, it said I had 2GB (and one slot was vacant). But when I opened up the computer for the first time in my life, both slots were being used by a 2 gb card in each. Weird. Again, both slots work, because I have a 2gb in one and a 4gb in the other. I want both slots with 4gb. Please advise. thanks!

Yes, the MBP recognizes each 4gb cards (one at a time) when used in tandem with one of the old 2gb cards. Yes, they both work as long as not used together. I purchased Crucial 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3 - 12800) CL11 SODIMM 204-Pin 1.35V/1.5V Notebook Memory Modules CT2KIT51264BF160B . 12800, as opposed to 8500, but is that really the reason it wouldn’t work? thanks for your time.

Ideapad z400 touch after windows 10 upgrade

I am using the ideapad z400 touch and have been upgraded to windows 10. "Intel graphics card => I reinstalled the windows 8.1 driver from lenovo site", and my brightness problem is solved. I am facing the problem with the intel HD graphics 4000 display driver that I install from lenovo site. The driver seems like not fully compatible with windows 10. My screen will turn off after 5 minutes and when I move the mouse to wake it up I face the problem, the screen will freeze for a while and start to wake up and showed me the message "intel display driver.....has stopped responding and has recovered" This happens everytime after my screen turn off. Besides, my pc can't go to sleep mode. When I select sleep for my pc, the screen went black and it takes a long time to sleep but actually it is not, then it will shut down on its own. I have to press the power button to turn it on again. I think this problem is also related to the display driver. I have no problem with this display driver on windows 8.1. Will Lenovo come out the new driver that compatible with windows 10 from Lenovo site? The latest operating system they provide the drivers is untill windows 8.1. If they do not support the windows 10 driver I will roll back to windows 8.1 with no choice but I sincerely hope that I can keep using windows 10 on my pc I like it. Microsoft gives us one month time to roll back to windows 8.1. I don't know can I upgrade to windows 10 again if I found that Lenovo comes out their new drivers

Windows 10 upgrade was in progress - WIll not boot - Completely black screen

I have seen this problem before with my laptop. Under Windows 7, I would simply disconnect the power cord from my laptop and remove the battery. Then I would wait a few seconds, replace the battery and plug the power cord back in. My laptop would then boot up windows 7. Over the past few years, I have only had to do this two or three times. Yesterday, from the task bar tray at the bottom of my Windows 7 desktop, I found that my free Windows 10 upgrade was available from Microsoft and that an installation could be scheduled. I followed all the prompts until I reached the Windows 10 upgrade screen that said "Working on it" with a large spinning icon. I waited for several minutes when I assumed that it was probably loading the new OS. I left my laptop alone for several hours. Today I went to start my laptop and I can hear the fan, the usual self-test noise from one of the drives, but nothing at all on the screen. Pitch black. I removed the battery and unplugged. Replaced battery and plug. Pressed the on button. But there is never anything on the screen at any moment. No cursor, logos, absolutely nothing. I don't have a reboot or repair disk. If someone can offer a suggestion, I will be very grateful.

Hi there , Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP Notebook and getting a blank or black screen on startup. I know that you had already reset the Notebook, I would suggest following this document and performing a hard reset. Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues. I also have a couple troubleshooting documents for you called Computer Does not Start and Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot. You could also Test for Hardware Failures. The HP System Diagnostics provides access to a comprehensive set of tests to check for hardware failures. Do you see any LED Lights blinking/flashing on the Notebook? If so here is a document called Computer Does Not Start and Emits an LED or Beep Code. Hope this helps!

Upgraded to windows 7 now my Base System Device and Fingerprint Reader isn't working!

I recently upgraded from Windows Vista Business to Windows 7 Ultimate and my Base System Device and Fingerprint Reader isn't working. I've tried reading advice off of some forums here and even checked out what I can download from this site and also tried updating but each time it either says could not find updates, or when I try dowloading from this site it says the program may have not installed correctly. I'm stuck I don't know what else I can do, can someone help, I would appreaciate it greatly!

Ah if only life were so simple. I have been without a soundcard ever since upgrading to Windows 7, have spent hours on the Lenovo site trying to locate a driver, filling in all those little boxes, time after time to no avail. The drivers, if they exist at all, are being kept secret. There can be no other explanation. Have the same problem with the fingerprint thingy, but not bothered as the kids had learnt to bypass it anyway.
Enjoying windows 7 in complete silence. If anyone wants to advise downloading a driver then fantastic, but give us a clue where it is hidden.

KWallet isn't working since the last Upgrade

Hi,
since I carried out a full system upgrade on monday (it was the first upgrade after almost 4 month), I still have some troubles with KDE.
First of all, there was the problem, that I couldn't reach the KDM login screen. After 3 days of checking and trying everything I found out, that there's something wrong with the /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc. I just replaced it by a *.pacnew-file; now KDM is working but all my KDM-settings (e.g. themes, ...) are gone. But never mind, I can fix it later.
The biggest problem is, that my KWallet isn't working. In KWallet I saved passwords for KMail, all my mail accounts and Pidgin. When I just startet the computer, KWallet asks me for the password to open the wallet. I enter the password (I'm 100% sure that I enter the correct password) and nothing happens. Pidgin complains that it can't use the wallet, because it's still closed. And KMail just tries to connect to the mail servers without any complaining. Also the icon in the tray shows a closed wallet. If I try to open the wallet "manually", KWallet asks me again for the password, I enter and press "Open", but again nothing happens. The windows, which actually should show all the saved passwords, remains white and emtpy. The symbol in the tray is still showing a closed wallet. So, can anybody tell my what could be happend here and how I can fix it? Changing the password isn't possible, too.
And a second little trouble is, that there are no more sounds appearing: no system sound when KDM is ready, no system sound when KDE was started and no sound when I try to play some music, videos or internet streams. I checked the settings for Phonon, but everything seems to be okay.
So, is there a possibly connections between my problems and the shift of files and program to /usr/bin ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Swipe upwards from bottom of screen to launch Control Center. Make sure sound is not muted (tap the little bell)

HELP! In middle of upgrade to windows 8 and keyboard/trackpad stopped working!

Hey all, new mac user here. Just bought a new macbook air 13" 2014 model. I succedded in installing windows 7 via bootcamp via a usb drive and was in the middle of installing a downloadable windows 8 upgrade (at a preferences page when they ask you to select your favorite color) when my macbook's keyboard/trackpad stopped functioning. I plugged in a usb mouse and that would not work either. I have absolutely no clue as to what to do next. If I had to install some driver or thing please tell me how to cancel the windows 8 install and return to windows 7. Thanks for all your help strangers

I was not able to find any drivers specifically for the web cam. I did find software to use the camera, but that was all I could find.
However, I do have a question about the Windows 8 upgrade process that was used.
Did you do an in-place upgrade or a clean install of Windows 8?
Go back to device manager. Is there anything here at all in an other category indicating it is having some type of an issue?
There are certain events that will need to happen.
Go to the start screen and search for uninstall a program. Select this option in the settings category.
This should take you to the Desktop app and show the familiar uninstall a program feature from Windows 7.
Select add/remove Windows Components on the left.
Is Framework 3.5 checked here? If not, enable this and install it.
Then, install the HP framework which is needed for some HP programs. This is a Windows 7 installation, but it should go through.
http://goo.gl/jDI7X
Once that is finished, reboot the system.
Let me know what happens.

Satellite A300D-15B - Webcam won't work after Windows 7 upgrade

My webcam doesnt work after Windows 7 upgrade. I have installed the drivers but still having no luck

Hi
The webcam is listed in device manager under the Imaging devices
There you should see USB Video Device.
If its not listed there, then I think that the device malfunctions or its disconnected.
The webcam is an usb device and its connected to USB controller.
I read in different threads that in some cases the cable could be loose and therefore the webcam would not be listed in device manager.
I such case the display lid needs to be disassembled and the cables should be checked.
In my opinion its a job for an technician.
