  1. Fresh install of windows with an existing windows account


    Hi so me and a friend have a weird situation.I sold her my old cpu and motherboard and after we installed it it unactivated her windows and upgraded her from windows 10 home to pro somehow when we both had home. She now needs to buy a new 10 pro key to activate it.However, fast forward a few weeks and her harddrive is starting to show signs of failing so we are going to replace that as well and we decided we are just going to get a copy of windows 10 home as well and not pro.So my question is if we install home, and sign into her account that shes using now if windows will still be active or i

    :)

    Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

    Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

    I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

    It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

    EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown Fresh install of windows with an existing windows account :(

    Windows 7 wont install drivers

    +1

    If you having an issue installing a driver that worked before you formatted or wont install on a fresh build, sometimes this means hardware damage
