  1. New laptop, Windows 10 Pro looks like Win10 Home.


    I have a brand new laptop with Win10 Pro installed, and yes, I've checked settings. It's so new, I haven't even installed any programs yet.

    The Win <Start> screen is tiled, not linear like the Win10 Pro on my other laptop,

    I'd prefer to have the linear view. How do I do it?

    The laptop manufacturer (naturally) says it's a Microsoft question.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Pro install not working with graphics - looks like ****

    It appears that I now have upgraded to Win 10 PRO, but my Nvidia Quadro 2000 card is not compatible with Win10 even though the pre-system check said it was. I am not spending $1000 on a new graphics card.

    Have tried to manually install drivers - not compatible.

    How do I uninstall Win 10 and get back to Win7 PRO. Looks like I have stuffed my work station. Microsoft once again does not check that the systems are working.

    I would suggest holding off upgrades until Microsoft can guarantee that there are drivers for Win10 PRO.

    Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

    When in win10:
    • Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....
    Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
    - Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

  4. New laptop, Windows 10 Pro looks like Win10 Home.

    Update Win10 single language to pro on new laptop.

    Hi!

    I bought new laptop and find it have win10 home SL which means no eng language and hyper-v for me. I have my old laptop where windows 8.1 pro was installed(Windows 7 home premium -(upgrade key)> win 8 pro -> win 8.1 pro) and updated to Win 10 Pro.

    My question is: There are any ways to upgrade windows 10 home to pro on my new laptop? I really don't want to make my full way (7->8->8.1->10) to getting Win 10 pro.

    I'm going to install win7 on old laptop and give it to new owner.

    Looking forward for your answer(s).
