    Jasc photoshop pro 9 won't open

    Hi

    I have it running ok on a Win 10 Pro which was upgraded from Win 7 but it won't display on a clean install of Win 10 Pro. I eventually gave up, enabled Hyper-V, set up Win 7 32bit and installed it on that. Use remote desktop to connect full screen to the
    virtual instance and all is good.

  3. Update Win10 single language to pro on new laptop.

    Hi!

    I bought new laptop and find it have win10 home SL which means no eng language and hyper-v for me. I have my old laptop where windows 8.1 pro was installed(Windows 7 home premium -(upgrade key)> win 8 pro -> win 8.1 pro) and updated to Win 10 Pro.

    My question is: There are any ways to upgrade windows 10 home to pro on my new laptop? I really don't want to make my full way (7->8->8.1->10) to getting Win 10 pro.

    I'm going to install win7 on old laptop and give it to new owner.

    Looking forward for your answer(s).

    Win 8 pro full in Hyper-V won't accept key.

    Showkey saying "vista marker" is normal in Hyper-V Vms - it always does.

    What is your 8 Pro key? Is it an upgrade from 7? IF so you could follow this Clean Install with Windows 8 Upgrade

    Otherwise use the ShowKey option to check your key and see what type it is.
