Windows 10: Windows 10

When 10 is available and out will it wipe 7 completely when I do the update? I have 10 preview running on a second hard drive right now and I have quite a few programs that will not install. If the update to 10 from 7 keeps all my programs it won't be an issue but I am guessing that is not what is going to happen.

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)

 

Yes, that is what will happen (mostly). There may be some programs that will no longer work but in the main all your programs and data will continue as they are now.

I've done this from Windows 8.1 several times and everything still worked. Have not tried from Windows 7 and probably won't as the only 7 system I have runs my web server.

 

It will be an upgrade in place, meaning your programs and data will be retained. Will they work? There are a few threads on TF that list programs that work or have issues. There's also one that is game specific.

The above threads include information from many of the TP releases, so read through them - a program or game that did not work in 9926 might be reported as working in a more recent release.

For the most part, Win10 has a good track record and programs run well.

There are a few things that won't install - but they seem to be the install package from the vendor, not Win10.

It's best to image your system on July 28, 2015

Win10 has a Win7 restore feature in Settings. Win8 uses the same mechanism as Win10, so no special recovery tool is needed.

I think there's also a rollback function - the two (restore / rollback) might be the same
