  1. Have a Windows Home licence, but installer gives me Windows Pro


    I have trouble activating Windows on this used computer that I bought. According to the previous owner it runs Windows Pro, but the activation trouble shooter says that the licence is for Windows Home. I really don't mind using Windows Home, the problem is that the Windows 10 installer installs Pro without giving me the option to choose version. Another source of confusion is that the error message itself says that the problem is that the previous version of Windows wasn't activated and gives me the code 0x803F7001. I've had a hard time finding more information on the matter and will be grateful for any help.

    :)

  3. Windows 7 wont install drivers

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.

    Have a Windows Home licence, but installer gives me Windows Pro

    How do I get Windows 7 to install on a full 3 TB HDD?

    Thanks everyone, much appreciated. Giving this a shot now. I already try converting to GPT once already and it worked, but still only showed 2 TB, however, the steps listed your link Newteki have a few added steps I did not do. Also, I decided to go with Windows 8 Pro since Windows 7 was giving me so much trouble with this issue, yet it still gave me the same problems of only showing 2 TB then a separate 700ish GB drive.

    Here goes nothing, thanks all, will be reporting back soon, hozzah!
