    Problems moving data from W7 to W10


    I'm moving my wife's data from her W7 laptop to a W10 laptop (W10 home 1903, build 18362.836) and I'm hitting problems. I've transferred her data fine but: 1. I cannot access her thunderbird profile which is at users/../.../roaming/Thunderbird/profiles/...... I get access denied. How do I gain access? 2. Similar thing with another program where I am told the User access control has blocked my access to this program for my protection. How do I gain access from UAC? Thank you.

    :)

  2. W7 access of W10 share

    On my home network W10 systems can access shares on other W10 systems, and W10 can access W7 shares. However, when W7 tries to access a W10 share, it wants a network password. I give it the user/pswd I use to log in on the W10 but that doesn't help.

    I found one place:
    https://www.thewindowsclub.com/cannot-access-shared-folder-windows
    that suggested setting HKLM...Lsa\restrictanonymous to 1
    but that didn't seem to help.

    TIA!

    W7 to W10 upgrade

    I have tried to upgrade to W10 home premium from my 64-bit W7 home premium operating system on my laptop. I checked that I meet all requirements and have tried everything anyone ever suggested. I wasted 2 days in December 2015, and still failed.

    I had no problem in March 2016 upgrading my desktop W7 Ultimate to W10, so I thought I might try again to upgrade my W7 home premium.

    I have now wasted another 2 days in March trying to upgrade the laptop. Either it is a problem with my laptop that the Windows Update Trouble-Shooter does not find, or W7 Home Premium (64) will not upgrade to W10. I give up.

    Problems to upgrade from W7 To W10

    Hi Martmcd,

    I had already done what you suggested without any success, additionally I had also:

    • Changed the region etc to USA
    • Rebooted after having disabled all Startup Services (other than Microsoft) and also the Startup Applications from the System Configuration
    • Refreshed the MBR by using the W7 RE console.
    • I am only using Microsoft Security Essential, I did not uninstall it, but stopped it from running during the upgrade as done on the other PCs which were successfully upgraded.
    I am running out of ideas, I could plan a refresh of the of the BCD, but this PC holds lots of valuable data and chargeable applications I am terrified of the consequences. (I have never attempted a BCD rebuild and do not know what to expect).

    As previously indicated Microsoft upgrade ordering software has indicated that the PC is compatible with a W10 upgrade.

    Do you have further suggestions
