  1. Lack of Administrator, Win 7


    I have had my HP G60-23OUS for a long time with Windows 7 installed. Something went wrong. I have tried to use my Administrator account for several things, but it doesn't work. When I use cmd prompt it shows C:\Users\taterb> which is an old prompt set up by a friend who died 2 years ago. It tells me I don't have administrative privileges! I am the only user. How can I set my machine to recognize me as the administrator?

    :)

    Rather than explaining this to you step by step I thought it would be a handy idea to let you have a look at this link which takes you through the step by step instructions to set up your network for Windows 7.

    Win 7 and Win 10 on network

    I have home network with separate modem, router, and WAP's. My Windows 7 computer does NOT list the Windows 10 computers on network computer list but the Windows 10 computers network list DO list the Windows 7 computer.

    Turned off firewalls, gave permissions, shared drives. Nothing allows Win 7 computer to access the Win 10 computers.

    Any suggestions for a fix?

    Lack of Administrator, Win 7

    is hardware OK (Win 7) for upgrade to windows 10

    I think in one of the other PC with win 7 or win 8.1 I run media creators tools and in some step prompt/found graphics card not supported... for win 10. I didn't found alone reading specs of win 10, but the tool says me... after changed graphics card the tool said all OK and continued OK with upgrade... That I ask to reach this step in this current PC - win 7 - must be all OK for the upgrade? Or must continue to upgrade to show this?
    and got to point

    • UPGRADE this PC now
    • Create media(DVD, USB stick, ISO)
    is hardware OK (Win 7) for an upgrade to windows 10 for this PC???
