  1. Installing 2 windows 10 on 1 laptop.


    I have purchased a laptop with windows 10 home preinstalled, and have been using it since a year. Recently I purchased a new windows 10 enterprise license and received a new product key for it. So the question is if I uninstall my current win 10 home, and install enterprise. But later, if I decide to switch back to home version, will it be possible?


    Reasons to ask:

    1 Most probably the windows I have is an OEM version.

    2 I do not have current product key, again since OEM version.

    3 Since the product keys are synced to account and the hardware, will it be possible to switch back to home? since most probably I would be using the upgrade option in control panel.

    4 Mostly enterprise would be my last attempt to stick with windows, so possibly I can switch to kali if enterprise doesn't workout well. So will both of my windows key be gone forever?

    5 I have a use case for this laptop where the person using laptop would be changing, so I need to switch between both the versions as and when required. After activating enterprise version and syncing it on my account on this laptop will it be possible?

    Points to be noted:

    1 The email id used is specifically for this laptop only and will be constant in all the versions.

    2 I don't really need to take a backup as data stored on this will be synced online.

    3 Owning and cautiously keeping 2 thumb drives of backup is more hectic than required.

    :)

    Win10 laptop w/laptop display (no others) labeled 2, can't change to 1

    alphanumeric and Helmut, Thank you for your replies.

    1. The drivers were installed when Windows 10 was installed. There was nothing on the laptop prior to installing Windows 10.
    2. I don't have another display to try attaching as suggested.
    3. Not sure if it's always been like this or not. I just started looking at the configuration settings a week or so ago.
    4. To check hardware status, I've run a bunch of Lenovo tests and update checks. Nothing found.
    5. I did the Device Manager suggestion. 2 PnP monitors listed ... clicked "Show Hidden devices" ... found 2 more PnP monitors for a total of 4 ... uninstalled all 4 ... restarted ... same situation. Results: Device Manager now only lists 2 PnP monitors total (no hidden monitors) even though the only monitor is the laptop built-in monitor, but no change on the designation of laptop monitor being number "2" monitor.

    Thanks for your help and suggestions. Not sure why it is like this. Might be something like Win10 compatibility, old hardware, or similar.

    I've taken enough of your time on this. I can live with it as it is. Might decide to upgrade to a new and current laptop, or just proceed as is. Anyway, your responses are greatly appreciated!

    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.
