  1. A Perfectly Working Existing Windows 10 x64 Pro Goes Belly-Up


    What hell is Microsoft playing at? Here I am with a perfectly legit Windows 10 x64 Pro free upgraded from the then existing Windows 7 x 64 Pro, since 2016. So, that means it was ALREADY activated, get it, Microsoft?? Sorely tempted to call you worse.


    Now, out of the blue, I get a greyed out warning lower right of my screen that Windows needs activating!!! **** !!!!


    So, I head to Settings- Activation- Troubleshoot, and what do I get? A 0xC004F012 Error. Again, Microsoft, **** is going on here?


    Tried your so-called cop-out Virtual Agent, who as expected escaped without providing any solution other that try here. A typical Microsoft Support solution, just escape and pass the buck.


    Is it any wonder that there is such a strong feeling against Microsoft and their utterly **** OS calling itself Windows 10? Pssst, Microsoft, please resurrect Windows 3.1 because it was a darn sight better than this current pile of ----!!!!

    :)

    Query on Clean installation of Windows 10 Pro on Windows 7 Pro PC.

    Original Title: Windows 7 Pro (from MS upgrade key) to Windows 10 Pro - Clean Install

    My Gateway NV7923U X64 came with Windows 7 Home installed.

    I purchased an upgrade key from MS and upgraded to Windows 7 Pro.

    I need to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro and then do a clean install.

    • Will my existing upgraded Windows 7 Pro now upgrade to Windows 10 Pro automatically, or do I need to perform additional steps?
    • Will I be able to do a clean install and have Windows 10 Pro after upgrading?

    Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

    I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

    After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

    I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:
    • Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
    • Try different keyboard or mouse.
    • Restart computer, repeatedly.
    • Google for related issues.
    • Update Bios, because why not.
    • Create boot media and revert to windows 7.
    The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

    Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.

    ASUS Smart Doctor for Windows 10 x64 (a favor for a friend)

    Need a good working version of ASUS Smart Doctor for a AMD RADEON 4890 Extreme for Windows 10 x64 Pro.
    Anyone have any info on this piece of software or not?
