Windows 10: Windows 10 Help!!!

I bought a laptop yesterday - Asus fx553vd dm483 and they gave me it with an evaluation copy of enterprise edition which is activated for 90 days. Can i install any other version of windows on it ?? Will it cause any problems or not??

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)

 

I would recommend you start by running showkey plus from this forum;
ShowKeyPlus - Windows 10 Forums

If there is a product key detected in the BIOS/UEFI, then you can easily install the matching version of Windows 10 on it and it will use that product key to activate itself.

Otherwise, you can install any edition of Windows 10 that you want to on the laptop - but it violates the End Users License Agreement (EULA) to run Windows 10 without activating it, so you will have to legitimately activate it.

 

Will the evaluation copy pose a problem or can i just install any other version with the USB BOOT method??

You can do a clean install of any version of Windows 10 that you want to. That is what "USB BOOT" is - a clean install. It will replace the Enterprise Evaluation version.

 

That model, the dm483 version, appears to be made specifically for the India market. It is supplied with the Endless OS (based on Linux) preinstalled by Asus.

It is therefore very unlikely to have a Windows 10 key in the BIOS/UEFI. You can install Windows 10, it will run but not activate. You will need to buy Windows 10 if you want to activate it, you can do this through the Store.
