  1. Discussion on serial problems with Windows Updates


    Split from this thread. I will tell you EXACTLY what my update problems are which appear to be a problem with NUMEROUS people!First of all my hardware is AM3 with an AMD 640 quad core and 8 gb of RAM and a modern Nvidia GPU. It is late AM3 with a socket that an AM3+ processor will fit into but will not operate due to BIOS limitations likely 2014 vintage. For several years now evertime I recieve an update, Microsoft slams in a TOTALLY INCORRECT graphics driver, even though I go directly to the manufacturers website and download the correct and latest driver. After this is done I have excelle

  2. Windows 10 serial on OEM


    So I'll summarize steps made...

    1. Saved serial number (taken with Belarc Advisory) from preinstalled (half chinese language) Windows 8.1 (don't know exactly the version, suspect Windows 8.1 with bing) on tablet
    2. Formatted tablet
    3. Tried to make a clean Windows 10 (HOME, HOME N and also PRO, everytime with the same result) install with ISO taken with MediaCreationTool, during install (and also after completing installation) it says that the saved serial is not valid
    4. Tried to reinstall Windows 8.1 (ISO taken with MediaCreationTool again) HOME, it says that the serial is not valid

    So i suspect that the saved serial, is from a WINDOWS 8.1 WITH BING OEM version and this kind of ISO is not accessible/downloadable anywhere (at least I can't find it, any suggestion?)

    Still not tried SHOWKEY with that serial, I am in office now, and the serial is saved on a usb pen at home, will try this evening.

    So I'm stucked but if everything is like I suspect, it's incredible. If I have a tablet/notebook/netbook with Windows 8 preinstalled, it seems that I can update to Windows 10 without problems, but if I want to make a clean Windows 10 install that serial is not valid...

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Discussion on serial problems with Windows Updates :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
