Windows 10: Notebook pc acting strange since win 10 icon showed up.

Hi, new member here and am running win 7 home professional and have had the win 10 icon there for a while and a couple days ago i had the prompt saying it was ready to install but haven't installed it yet due to all the problems im hearing about as well as not having another hard drive or 108 gb worth of disc's to do a full system image backup.

The problems are sometimes windows explorer crashes and strange network activity as if there is something weird going on and have noticed even typing from the keyboard seems to not register some keys. I've also noticed that the system seems slower to boot and slower all round even though i haven't installed it yet.

Anyone know whats going on or should i just delete the whole windows 10 icon to get it back to how it was before.

Thanks for any help you may give.

I should also point out that my system is an OEM which came pre installed

:)

 

Login screen not showing up.

My mom's computer has been acting up and this morning she turned it on and her log in won't show up. Just the locks screen image with a small yellowish box where it should be. Not even the power icon or anything is showing up. We did a hard shut down to
restart it but it still wouldn't show up. She can not get on it and she even tried page lock key to try to unlock it. Her computer has been acting strange and freezing so we did run a full scan a few days ago and it didn't find anything. Please help? Btw Safe
Mode won't work or show up either. She has an acer notebook with Windows 10 and no disk. It will also not make any sound when we unplug the USB mouse or anything.

 

NotebooK ASUS - WINDOWS 10 - CAMERA applications

In my ASUS notebook I5, model N56VJ, originally with Win 8, since Win 10 migration, the application CAMERA does not work. I mean, when I click over CAMERA icon, nothing happens, not even an error message. The icon shows as pushed down, returns back, and
nothing.

Could somebody help me.

Thanks a lot

Do you have the installation disc that came with your computer?

It sounds to me that your current OS is getting a bit raggedy round the edges and that might not bode well for your upgrade attempt.

If you really want to get the new version of Windows, your best bet is to back up your personal files and programs, etc (on whatever disc space you can find) and re-install Windows 7... THEN do the upgrade to Windows 10... THEN do a clean install to Windows 10, activating each of the processes along the way... THEN re-installing your favorite programs and personal files!

Yes, it's a pain, but from what you've posted so far, this is what I would do if you brought that computer to me.

 

No as it didn't come with a disc but it does have the acer e recovery program installed from the initial startup and have used that to re install drivers and such. I bought the notebook pc brand new and no disc at all with it and is only a few years old now even though the video driver is not supported (mobility radeon hd4250) with win 10

Thanks

 

If it was me, I'd back any files I don't want to lose and do the E recovery to restore it to factory condition. Then do the upgrade. Less chance of something going wrong that way. IMHO.

 

Sounds to me like you have some spyware or a virus on your computer. I would do a scan for both.

 

Ok thanks i will just leave it for now and try and get some hard drive or something. Cheers

 

Well, just because it's not supported that doesn't mean that it won't work.
If you have the Windows 10 icon in your task bar then you have passed the test!

But that doesn't mean that you can upgrade without a hitch.

Here are your options...

1 - Don't upgrade.

2 - Go through the upgrade process and install Windows 10 on top of your current system.
(Back up as much as you can, although the installation will/should keep your files and programs.)
Test out the upgrade for a couple of days to make sure it has installed correctly and everything works.
If everything works then do a clean install of Windows 10.
(This means that NOTHING on the hard drive will be saved from your previous version of Windows.)

3 - Make a note of your activation number for your current version of Windows.
Download a copy of Windows 7 Pro (Not hard to find.)
Activate it during the installation then follow the steps outlined in my previous post.

 

No virus that i know and im gonna re check the spy ware but this has only been happening since the pop up notification, every thing was perfect before.

 

Im thinking of just sticking with 7 tbh but thanks for help and will post again when i need to.

Thanks

 

Thanks i will consider this if i decide to go thru with it. I didn't think of that.

 

Well, that's probably a wise choice.
But as your system is already a bit flaky, you may want to give some thought to eventually finding a way to upgrade.
Once you do, you'll wish you had done it sooner...
...unless something goes badly wrong and then you'll wish Bill Gates was blowing the devil's fiery tackle!

 

lol, Im gonna wait till i get enough disc's and then do a system image, then gonna do a factory reset and then upgrade. Cheers for help.
