  1. Win 10 new download pin causes total lockout even MS techs cannot break


    . I have now bezen without use of my laptop for 2 weeks, remote MS tech had resplved other issues and I did have the problem v2004 so remote tech intitiated download of latest version, completed successfully, but after restart was aked for the pin which I had written down before I had typed it in and it did not work, carefully typed it in agaon and it did not work and I was lo ked out. This was April 1st. Subsequent calls with techsupport, recovery was initiated. I heard no more so called again yesterday and a tech initiated a reset of my laptop by guiding me over the phone, in the meantime I have been using this tablet as I have no other computer and work remotely from a rural location. It di not work. Ireplied to tech'S email advizing him and he replied trhat we will have to do a custom instal and I will need another computerd at the same location and an 8GB USB stick to save my data and eeinstall windows 10, There must be somebody at MS HQ that has the power to unlock this thing, I am connected to the internet just cannot grt past the lockout


    All and any help will be appreciated.

    :)

    . pAID ms TECH SERVICE FOR WIN 10

    Is it just my failure to communicate properly or do many users find that the paid MS tech service often get hung up on misinformation or the wrong thing.?

    I had told the initial tech that my administrator command prompt scan showed a problem in the win 10 system files that it could not fix.

    Additional problems also existed with my print commands and an old program that is running without flaw on two other computers.

    ( I have 3 64 bit quad core computers with the exact same programs) and were all working flawlessly

    As a result of MS not addressing the win 10 system problem and fixating on the problem resisding in a program that has always worked I spent over 8 hrs with MS tech support . Some of this time was because of being on hold, and the line hanging up,and
    going dead ( dial tone) Ssome was due to my retesting the admen system scan only to find win 10 sys still had a problem and delays in calling MS back again., and again to fix the win 10 sys ADMINISTRATOR COMMAND PROMPT SCAN PRROBLEM that may or may not
    have been the problem cause(s) in other intermittent problems in other areas on only the one computer .

    8 hours is a very very very long time to be on the phone. with MS Is this common.

    I realize the techs kept asking me to describe the other problems but they fixated on the other problems and one particular program instead of first fixing the win 10 system problems ( reloading win 10 ) that I showed them I had run and what it said . (win
    10 sys problems existed that it could not fix )

    Eventually, after 8 hrs plus download time of an hour or so, Wwin 10 got installed and I am still installing the up dates. ( I hope) My question is why is this extent such a common problem everytime I call in for help? It seems to always turn into
    an ordeal and I have to call in multiple times to get a resolution and the process takes 6 to 8 hrs or more? is this common?

    iT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF TECH SERVICE . some GO THROUGH A 5 TO 6 STEP PROCESS VIA THE RUN COMMANDS) AND OTHERS USE TWO STEPS VIA URL ADDRESS AND ARE MORE SAVEY AND QUICK. yET TO REACH THEM REQUIRES THE SAME PHNE NUMBER. AND LUCK. . ON
    TWO DIFFERENT OCCASSIONS A TCH TOLD ME THAT TWO OF MY MODELS WERE NOT COMPATABLE WITH WIN 10 (THEY HAD BEEN OPERATING WIN 10 SINCE IT CAME OUT) a call back got me different techs with better fixes.

    on the positive side I eventually get a service tech who resolves all of my problems.
