HP laptop - Core i7 + Radeon - came with Win 7 Home Prem - Did a Win 7 Ult + Daz - Also validated using MGA & OPAtool GT when inserted into Win 10 Pro did not ABSORB i.e. usually after reboot that folder is typically empty.. consumed GT. So, ideas? Any Daz options to play with or do all of them with Pro? SLIC Toolkit shows me a LEGIT SLIC 2.1 even without Daz. Whats wrong? I tried once with Daz and once with OPAtool and checked both with MGA and SLIC Toolkit.. DO I have to go via Phone for this one? What are we to TELL THEM/ NOT TELL THEM on phone? Machine has original SLIC 2.1 + was originall W7 Home Prem.. Now Pro
Upgraded second notebook. Did the same like before but used GenuineTicket like on desktop. Activation worked fine. I needed to use USB WLAN stick since Windows failed to use internal PCI card (ressource problem). Can´t confirm activation fails with wrong time setting. After upgrading time was 6 hours ahead. Before upgrade time was OK - synced online automatically. I used same source for all installs - official ISO release from april 2016!
Good question. Probably in order to delay the embarrassment caused in light of the watered-down group policy options, permanently-on Cortana & other possibly nasty surprises. Fearing further dilution of win 10 Pro features, some win 7/8.1 users who waited till the last minute have decided that the 'upgrade' is simply not worth the hassle after all.
Hi. I have an old Vista laptop. What's the easiest way for me to get the free windows 10 upgrade? I know I have to first upgrade it to windows 7/8 or some windows 10 preview?? I don't mind formatting the laptop. And which windows 10 should I get for it (it's an old Core2Duo T5550 @1.83Ghz, 3GB RAM & Nvidia Geforce 8400M GS GPU)? Thanks.
thanks, Daz! For the above laptop, should I try to upgrade to 64-bit Win10 or stick with 32-bit? And I assume Win10 Home will function better than Win10 Pro for low end hardware setups? RSVP, soon. Thanks.
If you've already got a 32-bit OS installed at the moment then you'll need to upgrade to the 32-bit version of Windows 10. Unfortunately you can't switch over to 64-bit without formatting. Windows 10 Pro might take up a little more disk space, but it doesn't use any more resources than Windows 10 Home.
Upgraded the other computers from Win7. Lenovo Notebook (originally came with Vista) didn´t accept upgrade from Win7 also didn´t activate with GenuineTicket... Quite old (shipped with XP) Fujitsu Notebook worked with GenuineTicket. Four HP desktop computers (originally Vista Enterprise) worked with GenuineTicket, too. Relative new computer built from parts by myself with Asus mainboard didn´t work with GenuineTicket. Both non-upgradable loader activated computers were successfully activated with original genuine Win7 Pro OEM keys. Unfortunately my most used notebook can´t be upgraded since i don´t have any spare 1,8" HDD or SSD. Stupid HP - why do they use such exotic hardware?
GenuineTicket still seems to work. Just activated my prepared WindowsToGo on the above mentioned HP notebook where i can´t change HDD at the moment since it uses 1,8" drive. It´s one and a half our after the deadline.
Thanks, Daz, for spending time in the last few hours of the free upgrade to handhold some of us. Blast it. Took many hours to finish the win7 upgrade, then the win10 one failed @32%. Now it's no longer available. Dammit. Any way I can recover the product "key" from the failed install to use? TIA.
Could anybody please confirm if the update from win7 to win 10 still works using DAZ loader?. I managed to get it done on my main computer before the expiration date last Friday, but now I would like to activate another copy of windows 10 on my virtual machine. And if it no longer works, any other working ways to activate windows 10?
after going thru the trouble of updating all the drivers that I could, I finally go the win10 upgrade to work. Thanks for the tip about the link!!
Just reporting back to say that upgrading from windows 7 ultimate with DAZ loader to windows 10 pro through assistive technologies worked like a charm for me just earlier today on my virtual machine using virtualbox.
