    Window 10 - What might be wrong

    Hi,

    I took some time to read through some of the other posts on Windows 10 problems in general that were on this website. One of them had some of the same problems that I had. They rebooted their system using safe mode and then rebooted again in the normal
    fashion.

    I did that and everything is fine now. The posting did say that their problem started with an update to Windows 10. Also, they had to do this every once in awhile after that. I suppose that went away with the next update to Windows 10.

    Stay tuned.

  3. Window 10 - What might be wrong

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern and will guide you in the right direction.

    To assist you better please provide few details.


    • What is the make and model of the system?

    • When you say “My desktop is not normal” do you get any error message/ Error code?

    • What happens when you try to open the app?

    • Is the issue particular to any app?
    If you face any issue with the Apps I suggest you to perform the Windows app troubleshooter and check.

    The app troubleshooter will automatically notify you if there’s a problem with an app and try to fix the problem. If you continue experiencing problems with an app, try running the
    Apps troubleshooter. This tool can automatically identify and fix
    some problems with apps.

    Refer the link below and check if it helps.

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/run-the-troubleshooter-for-windows-apps

    Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.

    What Version might be right for me

    I think if you have pro now you should go for the pro edition of Win10. It's likely the one you will get when you get your free copy with your license.

    Thanks.
    I heard Win 10 automatically configures systems with a SSD and HHD for best performance.
    If that's true I look forward to see what Microsoft does.

    MS did post a blog and it said that when you turn in your license to get a copy/license of Win10 the pro users would get a pro version of Win10.

    Quoting you, "when you turn in your license" not sure what that means. If MS wants a valid license key that you can supply (non oem) that would be great, but if MS is going to "take" the license key on the machine that you are currently running is a different situation for me. I am not "turning in" my current machine. The only alternative if this is true is to just flat out buy another license. Don't think MS mentioned any $$ yet? I have a couple of un-used keys from a tech net down load, probably they would not qualify?

    At the moment, IMHO, its all just surmising and guessing what's actually going to happen with the free upgrade. Microsoft is just saying enough to make you wonder how it will all unfold. I have yet to see Microsoft state that you will have to surrender a license/product code to get the free upgrade. It wouldn't surprise me if they did, but its not etched in stone yet.

    I upgraded from windows 7 to Build 10074. Before I upgraded I cloned my Hard Drive containing Windows 7. Well I got tired of waiting for a new build so I Got out that cloned Windows 7 Hard Drive and then Formatted the Windows 10 Drive and using Macrium Reflect cloned the Windows 7 Drive to the Drive that I had 10 on. All is well, my license is still intact and it is activated. Now MS said that this can be done but this will probably only work with the Insiders Preview Edition and not the released version of Windows 10. My next upgrade will be to the final version although I may install another build on a different drive if there ever is one.
     
  10. As you've surmised, the tech preview isn't anything to go by. Microsoft isn't going to kill your current install just because you had a look see. It's time bombed to quit after a certain date anyway.

    What is your current Windows 7 install? Factory OEM, OEM system builder, or Retail?

    I built it with a retail Win 7 Pro license
     
  12. Ok, was just wondering. That license they could easily take from you if they were so inclined. A factory OEM install not so much, if at all. Factory OEM Windows 7 installs activate against a SLIC table in the BIOS. They don't activate online and all use a common OEM key issued to that manufacturer. They can't block that key.

    I thought that OEM's did not qualify for the upgrade??

  15. Not sure what you mean? I haven't seen it mentioned where its only open to people with a Retail version installed? There won't be too many of those. Most people that are running 7 and 8/8.1 have factory OEM installs.
