    Re-install Windows 10 and keep Windows 7 Authenticity Certificate


    Hello All,


    My Question: I originally upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 when the original upgrade offer was made.
    There are some things that started happening last week that make me think my OS is somehow corrupted
    or some option got set to really really slow my most awesome self-built PC down. I've tried to find the culprit

    but am suspecting some type of option or corruption. Is there a way for me to install over the existing OS a

    totally fresh Windows 10 so that I can undo whatever happened and not lose the Authenticity Certificate

    ( which my Windows 7 gave me to allow the Windows 10 upgrade)?

    A secondary reason for wanting to do this is I am planning to upgrade my current 500Gb SSD OS drive to a 1Tb SSD.


    Examples of some of the types of slow downs. If I right-click on an icon it could take 30 minutes to see the menu display. If I delete

    a file it could take two hours of seeing the green scroll bar before it actually deletes the file.


    Thanks in advance,


    Wyzard49

    :)

    Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

    Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

    As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

    Windows 7 virtual wifi authentication mode

    Hello.

    Just a quick question to whoever is using windows 7 virtual wifi capability - when you type in "netsh wlan show hostednetwork", cmd window displays a list of settings for your hosted virtual wifi.

    I was wondering, is there a way to change authentication method from WPA2-Personal to simple WEP ?

    Cheers.
