    After switching to Windows 10 from Windows 7, upon my 1st Windows 10 Update, I NO LONGER...


    I switched from Windows 7, to Windows on 10/11/19 and upon the very first Windows 10 Update, no longer have a functioning computer.


    I attempted to try and resolve things and reload Windows 10 from my DVD but I can't even do that!?


    I NO LONGER have WiFi and my WiFi Link 4965AGN Driver is Missing and my Realtek PCIeFE Family Controller Adapter is experiencing Driver or Hardware Related Problems. Or Likely missing.


    I have no idea how to resolve this. I'm an old man and all I know is, things were working with Windows 10 and now I can't even use my computer. No WiFi, No Connections.... And I don't know how to resolve.


    I do know how to read, so if you can tell me what to do, perhaps I can get back up. BTY - I'm furious that this has happened!


    How can I fix?


    Thank you.

    Is it time for Windows 10 already?

    Again, for those that want the update reservation and you meet the requirements ---> Upgrade to Windows 10 for Free

    And, some info from the FAQ page:

    Also, some interesting info from the Specifications page:

    Windows 7 vs 10

    Yup, confirmed. I wouldn't be surprised at all though if it still locks the hardware profile in during activation. If you're planning major hardware changes, you shouldn't use the Windows 7 key in Windows 10 setup until after the changes are made.


    Personally, I wouldn't bother with Windows 7 anymore. Case in point: Windows 7 SP1 has over 200 updates to download; Windows 10? Not even a dozen. Microsoft is constantly rolling updates into a cumulative update for Windows 10 so it doesn't get update hell like Windows 7 and older have.

    I really can't think of any reason to use Windows 7 anymore.

    Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

    Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

    As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.
