When I solve one error, another one pops up :wall: My main laptop has an i7 processor and 12 GB RAM, along with the ssds. I have also customized the "visual effects" to improve speed so everything that i do on it is almost instantaneous (apart from graphics because they are integrated). Thinking again about this, I don't know why would I want to upgrade from Win 7 Pro on this laptop, which I have already customized for speed :hmmm: My other laptop w/ relatively moderate specs and the one that I managed to update to Win10 is not that blazing fast vs earlier Win 8.1. However, it has touch screen so updating to Win10 is somewhat justified on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalia_Test Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 This is mean of Microsoft. Using our internet bandwidth to roll out updates :banghead: http://tech.firstpost.com/news-analysis/windows-10-uses-your-internet-bandwidth-to-offer-updates-to-others-report-276349.html I checked mine and indeed, it was turned on. I turned it off now :mad: Also, they made changing default Apps like browser, Media Player,etc a bit difficult. It was much easier in Windows 7 and 8.

It probably can install but will give issues afterwards and that is why it shows errors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably can install but will give issues afterwards and that is why it shows errors Agree. However, a fresh install of W10 will ask for its product key right (in upgrade it uses the current os key to validate) .... Other option would be to reinstall W7 but i did not make any recovery dvds. The laptop had a recovery partition which got corrupted when i migrated the os to the ssds using samsung magician. .... An example of oversights becoming headaches later on :P And last night, during playing around with the OS to install W10, i may hv accidently deleted Win update files thinking them to be belonging to W10 .... so i m not sure if W7 can automatically chk for updates now :vroam: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vilander Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 win 7 pro (oem) to win 10 - now getting error 0x8007025D - 0x2000C there is some licence issue in win 10 pro, when you upgrate from win 7 pro or ultimate you go to win 10 pro not home, thats where i had problem too.

However, it has touch screen so updating to Win10 is somewhat justified on it yeah, what i see is that my i7 8 gig/3 gig nvidia lap is slower to boot but once booted its faster, browsers are now faster with flash not costing much resources, no more plugin crashes etc..the transitions are smooth too. The older i3 4 gig/.5 g ati lap felt faster in safe mode but it had lots of issues so i rolled back( dirty rolll back, got win 7 to boot and bsod but then copy pasted reg directories, it was a mess but now stable. The tab entry level atom hp stream 7 feels same in win 8 and win 10..but cortona is a plus. Battery seems better now too. Over all ok with win 10 after some time i will back up and make clean installs, need to get usb boots stored for all the versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilander Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 i use admin user all the time, but you cant trigger cortona,shop or other apps in admin user...have to login with your social user, but logging into other users is blazing fast in win 10 one click and you are in.

At the moment, this is what it say about clean install of Win 10: "According to Microsoft, you need to run an upgrade first on an existing system to convert the product key. Once you have done that, you may use the product key to do a clean install of Windows 10. That's obviously not overly comfortable, considering that you spend time upgrading the system only to clean install Windows 10 afterwards. There is no other solution for this at the time of writing."

Link ok..then only one option left .. install windows 7 cleanly then upgrade it to 10 ..this should work as your windows key will work on 7 and update will work normally specially on clean windows 7 which is new .. i know it is waste of time doing it this way and imo they should have just allowed people to convert their key some how on their site but not gonna happen anytime soon..

gattaca Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Windows 10 is spying on almost everything you do – here’s how to opt out Windows 10 is amazing. Windows 10 is fantastic. Windows 10 is glorious. Windows 10 is faster, smoother and more user-friendly than any Windows operating system that has come before it. Windows 10 is everything Windows 8 should have been, addressing nearly all of the major problems users had with Microsoft’s previous-generation platform in one fell swoop. But there’s something you should know: As you read this article from your newly upgraded PC, Windows 10 is also spying on nearly everything you do. DON’T MISS: Windows 10: The first 5 things you need to do immediately after you install it It’s your own fault if you don’t know that Windows 10 is spying on you. That’s what people always say when users fail to read through a company’s terms of service document, right? Well, here is Microsoft’s 12,000-word service agreement. Some of it is probably in English. We’re pretty sure it says you can’t steal Windows or use Windows to send spam, and also that Microsoft retains the right to take possession of your first-born child if it so chooses. And that’s only one of several documents you’ll have to read through. Actually, here’s one excerpt from Microsoft’s privacy statement that everyone can understand: Finally, we will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails, other private communications or files in private folders), when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to: 1.comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process, including from law enforcement or other government agencies; 2.protect our customers, for example to prevent spam or attempts to defraud users of the services, or to help prevent the loss of life or serious injury of anyone; 3.operate and maintain the security of our services, including to prevent or stop an attack on our computer systems or networks; or 4.protect the rights or property of Microsoft, including enforcing the terms governing the use of the services – however, if we receive information indicating that someone is using our services to traffic in stolen intellectual or physical property of Microsoft, we will not inspect a customer’s private content ourselves, but we may refer the matter to law enforcement. If that sentence sent shivers down your spine, don’t worry. As invasive as it is, Microsoft does allow Windows 10 users to opt out of all of the features that might be considered invasions of privacy. Of course, users are opted in by default, which is more than a little disconcerting, but let’s focus on the solution. Rock Paper Shotgun has broken things down into four main bullet points that will guide you through regaining control of your personal data. READ MORE: 5 common problems people are having with Windows 10 – and how to fix them First, you’ll want to open Settings and click on Privacy. There, you’ll find 13 different screens — yes, 13 — to go through, and you’ll want to disable anything that seems worrying. The blog notes that most of the important settings can be found on the General tab, though other tabs are important as well. For example, you’ll definitely want to adjust what types of data each app on your system can access. Next, users should consider dumping Cortana. Yes, the voice-driven assistant is easily one of the best new features in Windows 10, but it also plays fast and loose with your data. As a result, many users will find that the benefits do not outweigh the risks. For the third task, you’ll have to venture outside the confines of your PC and hit the web. Perhaps this is a good opportunity to check out Microsoft’s nifty new Edge browser. In it, click on this link and set both “Personalised ads in this browser” and “Personalised ads wherever I use my Microsoft account” to off. This will disable Microsoft’s Google-style ad tracking features. The last tip is one that most users will likely forgo, as it is a bit excessive. Rock Paper Shotgun recommends removing your Microsoft account from Windows 10 completely and using a newly made local account instead. This way, Microsoft doesn’t grab hold of all your data to sync it across machines. To us that’s a great and useful feature, but if you want to kill it just follow the link below in our source section for complete instructions and plenty more details. http://bgr.com/2015/07/31/windows-10-upgrade-spying-how-to-opt-out/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 The product key that I hv on my main/biz laptop is not a regular one. It has the word oem embedded in it .... And that could also be impacting the upgrade .... so it could be a Microsoft issue rather than other softwares and hardware :hmmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swatpulla Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Just finished upgrading from Win7 Pro. All went smooth. It is using slightly more system resources than my Win7, but no real performance issues so far except for startup taking a bit longer than I expect. Maybe it will improve with future patches and updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debutant Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Yesterday suddenly internet got disconnected in my laptop. I was able to access my wireless network using my mobile and tab.

I googled and found a solution, which works for me some times. 1. Open cmd prompt and "run as administrator" 2. Type "netsh winsock reset" 3. Reboot.
