Windows 10: win10

Installed win 10 o/s oem now can not activate due to no product number. How do I active this OEM

:)

 

HP laptop screen is completely black. Windows 10 upgrade was in process.

Product Name: HP compaq presario laptop CQ56-DX115

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64 bit)

I have seen this problem before with my laptop. Under Windows 7, I would simply perform a hard reset and my laptop would then boot up Windows 7. Over the past few years, I have only had to do this two or three times.

Yesterday, from the task bar tray at the bottom of my Windows 7 desktop, I found that my free Windows 10 upgrade was available from Microsoft and that an installation could be scheduled. I followed all the prompts until I reached the Windows 10 upgrade
screen that said "Working on it" with a large spinning icon. I waited for several minutes when I assumed that it was probably loading the new OS. I left my laptop alone for the remainder of the day. I have a comcast cable wifi connection.

Today I went to start my laptop and I can hear the fan, and the usual self-test noise from one of the drives, but nothing at all on the screen. Pitch black. I pressed the power button to shut off. Then I pressed it again to start. I can hear the fan and
one of the drives in self-test, but there is never anything on the screen at any moment. No cursor, logos, absolutely nothing.

I performed a hard reset according to instructions provided by HP's website. Additionally, I have noticed that the caps lock button blinks in a manner that communicates "CPU not functional" according to HP's blinking light code table.

So I went back to HP's website and followed instructions for recovering the BIOS. I now have my laptop working again and I'm back to the Windows10 "working on it" screen. I have read that this process may take more than 24 hours.

After approximately 3 days, Windows 10 installed but the desktop screen flashed constantly. I'm going to look for my restore disc and go back to Windows 7 for the time being.

 

How to start win10 in safe mode? (system thread exxception not handleed)

Hi,

I was watching movie last night and suddenly Computer crashed.

I tried to restart it and had an error message that compuer crashed and needed to restart. Restart will occur automaticully. Now I'm stuck in a restarting loop again and again and again.

I tried to enter safe mod dy hitting F8 while starting but it did not work. I also triedthree times to restart and shut down, but that did not work either.

Any ideas what to do next?

 

Have you had Windows 10 on the computer before?

Two pieces of information will help us troubleshoot. Right click on the start icon and select Command Prompt (Admin). Run the following command in the command prompt window:

slmgr /dlv

Post the result here, it should look like:





Then run showkey plus from this forum:
ShowKeyPlus - Windows 10 Forums

Click on any product keys shown to blank them out, then post the result here. Should look like this:





with, hopefully, more than one product key shown.

 

One product code and that is win10 pro--the free one last 5 numbers 3v66t---this disk is for win10 home OEM

 

Then it sounds like you need to go back and install Windows 10 Home. Windows 10 installation USB flash drives and DVD's will have both Home and Pro versions included.

 

Although since you didn't post the results of slmgr /dlv, we don't know which version of Windows 10 you actually have installed.

 

I am sorry for not answering sooner. I do not know how to paste from paint to this site, any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Contacted MS and they say that they cannot help. Contacted Newegg (vendor) and the say that they do not have product key--that product key should have been sent when dvd was purchased. I will have to chalk this up tp a bad experience and buy a retail copy. Thank you for your help.
