Windows 10: Windows 10 activation

I was able to install Windows 7 on three computers with my Windows 7 key code. Will I be able to update all three to Windows 10?

:)

 

Windows 10 Unexpected shutdown on start up

OK, so i figured it out myself

Found the logfile in "C:\Windows\Minidump".

You need the Windows Development Kit to open it and a bit of googling to understand it.

Found out that a Daemon driver caused an error. Removed Daemon but this didn't solve it. (ps: Daemon itself worked normally).

I let hibernate my computer again and found another error with sptd2.sys: SCSI Pass Through Direct layer

More google and ended up on the duplexsecure site. Downloaded the W10 version and voila: problem fixed.

For the Windows support team: It would be really helpfull if you could pass problems to a more skilled helpdesk who can do more than proposing the standard solutions in case those won't work.

Cheers

 

Windows 10 Unexpected shutdown on start up

OK, so I also found out that this occurs when sleepmode (for me after 3 hours) changes into hibernate mode.

Seems like the going into hibernate and/or starting up from HIbernate results in a shutdown. In safeboot it works perfectly.

Anyone any idea how I can figure out where it goes wrong. Is there a way to log this (I couldn't find it in bootlog)

 

Of course.
Updating to Windows 10 is the easy bit... supposedly! *Wink

You may have trouble activating the three computers if you used the same key to install three copies of Windows 7.

When Windows 7 first came out they sold a 'family pack' of three licences for $150.
But they came with three activation keys.

I wouldn't bet on activating all three of your computers to Windows 10, but there is anecdotal evidence to suggest that you may get lucky.

If you DO decide to go ahead with this dastardly attempt, do each computer one at a time and make sure that each version of the installation is 'activated.'

(The first computer you want to upgrade is the one you most want to have a legal copy of Windows 10 on it, as the first installation process you do is the one that is most likely to succeed in activating.)

On your first computer you should upgrade Windows 7 to the current version of Windows 10 and activate it with the key you used for the Windows 7 installation.
(Keep all your files, etc for this one.)
Then do a clean install of Windows 10 on top of the Windows 10 upgrade and see if that gets activated automatically.
(Reformat and clean install.)
(Do NOT enter a key for this final installation.)

Then wash, rinse and repeat for your other two computers and hope you get lucky!

Good luck.
Let us know how you get on.
