    WINS in Win 10?


    I am possibly completely wrong but I thought Win 10 had an in-built WINS.
    If I am wrong what is it that resolves the names of machines on my LAN which runs on VMs and real machines.
    I am trying to set up an Apache server to be accessible from any of my machines not just the one that runs the Apache server vbxwA2.
    To access the Apache server from another machine I am using Web Server's Default Pagewebsitename
    or alternatively http://192.168.1.10/websitename.
    I think both should work but they don't?
    Baffled!

    :)

  2. Install Win 10 Upgrade Direct from Win 7 Pro - Do Not 1st Clean Install Win 10 ISO - If You Want Free Activation

    Upgrade Win 10 install fails after 100% MSFT download of Win 10.

    Own legal Win 7 Pro license. The other day, force downloaded then made clean install of Win 10 on separate drive to have a dual boot system. Realized to activate Win 10, I need to upgrade to Win 10 direct from Win 7 first, before making a Win 10 clean install.
    Wiped clean install.

    Now, when trying the direct upgrade route, Win 10 Upgrade install repeatedly fails after 100% Win 10 MSFT download.

    0. Made system image of Win 7 pro. Made sure all files were backed up to other drives.

    1. Forced Win 10 download
    wuauclt.exe /updatenow


    2. Created a bootable ISO file using ESD Image for
    Windows 10


    3. Installed Win 10 on separate drive from Win 7 pro

    4. Discovered direct upgrade is necessary to let MSFT cloud know Win 10 is legal!!!!

    5. Tried downloading Win 10 - download fails repeatedly

    6. Tried to install Win 10 by iso upgrade - says it can't be done

    7. MSFT Win 10 scheduled upgrade - download "fails" after 100% download

    Upgrade win7 pro to win10 pro on a pc with uefi win10 home

    Hi,

    I'm not 100% sure about this, but I believe that the free upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10 has expired...

    Have you tried entering the Win 7 Pro key after the upgrade to Win 10 Home is complete ?
