  1. mac air with fresh windows 10 function keys changed


    On my mac air, all the function keys(f1-f12) are all changed. I want to be able to change brightness,keyboard led brightness(right now always on, cannot turn off), and sound. The update from win7 to win10 modified those for windows to the new commands. Is there any way to revert them?(I think that the boot camp program is not exactly working anymore either)

    :)

  2. How to activate Windows 10 with Windows 7 Product Key.

    Original Title: Win 10 Activation

    Hi,

    I was having an LG laptop with genuine win 7 license. The time win 10 had been released i updated my windows and got activated perfectly. A while my device got damaged and a bought a new mac air laptop.

    Is it possible to use the same old windows license?.

    I am having my win 7 product key. Is it possible to get the win 10 equivalent product key keeping a note that mac bootcamp will not allow installation of win7. So i am obliged to install a fresh win10 copy.

    Regards,

    Install Windows 10 into valid Windows 7 Home Premium and says product key not valid.

    Mac Air with VMWare Fusion and recently purchased and installed Windows 7 Home Premium that works fine. Downloaded Windows 10. Asked for Product Key. None that I could see for 10, so tried 7 and said invalid. Any ideas? Thanks.

    You should install the Boot Camp Manager.

    Is yours the 128GB one? I have a 128GB mid-13 Macbook Air running W8.1 on the boot camp partition. How many GBs did you allocate to the Windows partition?

    This did not help. No change in anything. The keyboard backlight is still always on(unless light sensor is viewing light). Would removing the drivers for the light sensor solve this? or is there yet another possible solution?

    and mrplt, i had ~120gb and had it partition evenly 60/60gb. I am using external hdd (soon ssd) for any more space I need.

    Mine still didn't get the Windows 10 update, so I don't know how to solve this problem.
    I'll post again as soon as it's updated to Windows 10.

    UPDATE: I upgraded Macbook Air to Windows 10, and I encountered all the problems that you did. Unfortunately I couldn't find any solutions for that. For me, the only option is to wait until Apple releases a new version of Boot Camp drivers which is compatible with Windows 10.
