  1. Problems starting Windows 10 update


    Back when the 10 update first came out, I tried updating from Windows Updates, downloaded ISO/Images from disk and CD, all failing due to the very informative error "Your Windows 10 Update Failed".

    Anyway, I figured on trying it again, before actually buying a full version, and allowed the script update. I now have the script icon in my task bar, which when I click on, offers options to update now or download and update later. I have clicked on both of these, only to display the update screen advising I have no updates available.

    I have searched everywhere trying to find a way to activate the 10 update, but cannot find anything. Possibly it was downloaded previously and there is somewhere I can activate the installation?

    :)

  2. problems with windows 10 and google chrome

    since loading windows 10 i have seen a number of frustrating issues when using google chrome which i have never had before. The most frustrating of these (i have a touch screen laptop) is if i drag the cursor over the screen it resizes either larger or
    smaller which is not what i want. Not a techie so whilst i have tried to fix it looking at other issues i have still not been successful - any ideas how i can fix this please?

  3. Windows 10 haven't updated to version 1511 --- How to find product key

    I haven't run the ISO disk as of yet, I want the current product key in hand, on a post it note, prior to doing that, not interested in MS bullS**T about it not being needed. 2 hours online with tech support and they can't cope with the question of how
    can the current product key be accessed in windows 10.

    I've never owned a Apple product, but I can never see buying or having another MS product in my household after this.

    NOT THE ONLY ONE

    Problems starting Windows 10 update

    These is something in your current installation that needs repairing, more than likely. You list 8.1 as your OS. What I would do, if it were my computer is run showkey from this forum:
    Showkey - Windows 10 Forums

    If showkey shows an oem key stored in bios (or for that matter even an OEM or Retail Windows 8.1 product key installed - as long as it is not OEM:SLP). Then I would do this:
    Important precautions to take before upgrading to Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

    You can use a USB flash drive instead of a MicroSD card.

    The current build of Windows 10 will activate with a Windows 8 product key, either retrieved from BIOS automatically, or manually entered.
