Windows 10: Going from w7 to w10 today, any prep help or suggestions?

Currently moving my documents and files to external disc drive, etc. And I do have programs on the laptop that I don't have the original disc/codes for and am worried if everything will be wiped. Should I turn off all anti virus to do it? (avast & malwarebites)

I use the it mostly just for word, excel, emails, document scanning. No gaming or whatever!

Now, it's an old laptop. It's from 2012, Toshiba satellite Pro, W7 home premium service pack 1. 64 bit OS. (following things gibberish to me). Intel celeron cpu B820 @ 1.70GHZ.

I did take note of the product code. (found in control panel). 200GB available space. 1.89GB RAM free.

Is there anything else I have to do or prep for? Is the above information showing that it'll be OK to do and basically survive?

Thanks.

W7 access of W10 share

On my home network W10 systems can access shares on other W10 systems, and W10 can access W7 shares. However, when W7 tries to access a W10 share, it wants a network password. I give it the user/pswd I use to log in on the W10 but that doesn't help.

I found one place:
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/cannot-access-shared-folder-windows
that suggested setting HKLM...Lsa\restrictanonymous to 1
but that didn't seem to help.

TIA!

 

W7 or W10

Hi everyone,

I have got W10 for a while. Now I have upgraded my PC. But, Lots of part of the motherboard / sound, graphic / can't work properly, because their drivers were writing for W7. Under W10 they just work on basic level. The issue about the compatibility makes lags
in games and in other type of usage. Now I would like to get back to W7 my pc. How can I do it? Obviously I am over the 10 days since upgrade. I, also, do not want to lose my works, software. Any suggestion? Should I buy a new HDD with W7?

 

W7 to W10 upgrade

I have tried to upgrade to W10 home premium from my 64-bit W7 home premium operating system on my laptop. I checked that I meet all requirements and have tried everything anyone ever suggested. I wasted 2 days in December 2015, and still failed.

I had no problem in March 2016 upgrading my desktop W7 Ultimate to W10, so I thought I might try again to upgrade my W7 home premium.

I have now wasted another 2 days in March trying to upgrade the laptop. Either it is a problem with my laptop that the Windows Update Trouble-Shooter does not find, or W7 Home Premium (64) will not upgrade to W10. I give up.
