  2. Windows 10 Installation Problems

    After up grading to Win 10, my screen started to blink and the lap top was frozen in this blinking mode. After restarting computer many times, it is stuck in the Win 10 load process with the circle of dots spinning around and around while the load process
    goes no where. I have tested all hardware and it is OK. I tried the Win 10 fix and it still is in the same mode where the dots spin around and around, but operating system does not load and start up

    I have a 64 bit HP Lap Top that was running Win 8.1 without any problems before trying to load Win 10.

    clean install problems

    Due to various lawsuits the N version is aimed more at European markets but shouldn't be a problem.

    I've done more that a couple dozen Win10 Upgrades over Win7 w/SP1 and Win8.1 and never had to enter the Product Key, it gets picked up from the installed OS. I've only needed to do the online install from Windows Updates.

    N version is for European countries.
    KN is for Korea.

    One question, if you don't mind.
    Why did you choose Single Language version?
    Your Win 7 comes with Single Language or you were just guessing ?

    You must have chosen the wrong ISO download.
    For an upgrade install, you have to select the same Windows Edition, Language and bit version your Win 7 is now running.
    Hence my question of Single Language.

    As stated, you probably have the wrong version.

    Also for clarity, the product id is not the product key.

    The product key contains 25 random numbers and letters in five groups of five (separated visually with hyphens).
