Installation :: Windows 64 Bit Can't Run Into Windows 32 Bit

Sep 25, 2015

I always install windows by this simple way and I have no problem so far. I extract iso file into one of drive with winrar. For windows 7 and 8 run setup.exe in the root drive and follow steps until that step I want select drive. If I want to replace windows, select windows drive and if I want have Dual Boot select other drive. Boot menu automatically is creating and is include two or more windows that I installed. For windows 8.1 and 10 because I can't select drive by run setup.exe in root folder, I run setup.exe into sources folder like you. Just two issues. One that windows 64 bit can't run into windows 32 bit and two that older version can't install by way of newer version. But Except two issues for other cases is best. Now I want to know your Opinion for this. is this way correct for installing windows?

Installation :: Attempting To Upgrade - Windows Keeps Restarting Back To Windows 8

Aug 2, 2015

I have attempted to download windows 10 around 4/5 times, the download completes and states that my computer needs to restart upon which it claims it is configuring the windows 10 upgrade. I would assume from this point it would restart into the windows 10 configuration however each time I have tried it it restarts back into windows 8 as if nothing had happened.

My laptop then opens up windows update and says I am able to download windows 10. This is really frustrating as I can't even seem to get into the windows 10 setup.

As you can see I am attempting to download again but there is no trace at all of it attempting to install windows other than this failed update that you can see here.

I am using an HP Pavillion 15-n268a laptop.

Installation :: Windows Boot And Windows On Different Drives

Feb 10, 2016

Before installing Windows 10 I clean reinstalled my Windows 7 onto a new SSD but inadvertently left my BIOS boot drive as my old HDD. Now I find that I have my windows 10 boot files in the HDD and the rest of the OS on the SSD, so I am still dependant on that old HDD. It's quite old, and I tried to swap it out to a new HDD but found this issue.

I've tried BootRec /RebuildBcd, BootRec /FixMbr and BootRec /FixBoot, rebooting the PC between each, but without success. I want to make the SSD bootable, what have I missed?

Installation :: How To Upgrade Windows From 32 Bit To 64 Bit

Jul 5, 2015

When I downloaded Windows 8 Pro a few years ago my PC only had 1GB of RAM, so it installed the 32 Bit version. I have since added another GB of RAM. When Windows 10 is released, will I be able to download and install the 64 Bit version, or am I stuck with the 32 Bit version on this PC?

I want to configure the OOBE Windows Welcome guide and found this article on the topic; Configure Oobe.xml - Windows 10 hardware dev

I find it somewhat difficult to understand what structure is expected of the xml and have been looking everywhere for an example file. In Windows 7 a sample was provided with the AIK but I can't find a similar folder with sample files in ADK 10.

how to create the oobe.xml?

Installation :: Will Not Allow Windows 7 EFI OS Loader

May 10, 2015

I have been testing this to see what might be going on. If you install Windows 7 in the UEFI configuration, which means Secure Boot is not enabled. Then you install Windows 10 using UEFI in Dual Boot mode, you end up with a Boot GUI with selections for Windows 10 and Windows 7.

If you select Windows 7, you will get the screen below, so you have lost the boot capability to Windows 7. Since Secure Boot is not enabled, I have to assume the Windows 10 boot manager will not recognize the Windows 7 EFI OS loader.

There are probably not a lot of folks running Windows 7 as UEFI, but something to keep in mind with the release of Windows 10. I have not tried installing Windows 7 after Windows 10 so not sure what it might do, assuming you could even boot the Windows 7 install media in UEFI mode.

Installation :: Windows Reset Won't Work

Feb 10, 2016

Newish computer, recently upgraded to Windows 10.

Trying to do a PC Reset via the settings to wipe clean to sell it. When I click Reset in the Recovery menu of the Settings, I get a scrolling wheel for a second or so, and then nothing. It's as if something on the computer is blocking the computer from being reset.

When I try from the Advanced startup, it goes through a normal restart but doesn't do anything else.

I know that in the week that my mother had this computer, she managed to get a couple viruses from 3rd party search bars that she was prompted to download which were causing issues. I wonder if I didn't get it all cleaned off and there is something that won't let the computer reset?

Installation :: How To Restore Windows To New SSD From External HDD

Aug 29, 2015

I have an acer aspire r14 and it only has 1 slot for a HDD. I have bought a brand new SSD, which I am trying to replace the old HDD with. I have an external HDD where I have a system image backup of my windows 10. Since there is only one slot on the motherboard for a harddrive, i will have to take out the old HDD and put the SSD instead. Then my laptop won't have any data on it. My question is, how do i restore my windows 10 from the external HDD, on the new SSD. Does it work if i change boot order and just simply restore or is there something more complicated?

Installation :: Upgrade From Windows 8 Fails?

Sep 8, 2015

I've successfully updated to Windows 10 on my two Surfaces, but there is some kind of issue on my desktop PC. The upgrade process from Windows 8 fails at about 71% total (Installing features and drivers at 91%), and the error I get is:

C1900101-40017 Windows Update ran into a problem.

When I click on "Get help with this error" I'm directed to a page with some general troubleshooting with Windows Update. I've run Windows update repair tool and it fixed some issues, but the installation failed again.

I have now tried freeing up more disk space which I admit was a bit tight and I'm preparing to run the update again. Still, I'd prefer if there was a more detailed error message or a log file where I could see what exactly went wrong, but there are no indications where I might find one (either in the error message, the troubleshooter, or Google). As it is, I'm shooting blind here and this will now be my fifth upgrade attempt.

I have installed win10 on to my Brothers PC and kept getting the message `Inaccessible Boot Device` and was caught in a loop.

When I click on Win10 the OS loads. How do I remove the other box?. I have installed Win10 on two other PC`s and have not seen this screen before.

Installation :: Will SSD Boot After Formatting Windows 7 SSD

Dec 24, 2015

I have 2 SSDs and a few mechanical HDDs. I was dual booting (with Win 7 and 10) by changing the bios boot order for a while but have now decided to stick with Windows 10. By default Windows 10 loads. However I used to have Windows 7 as my boot drive. I want to now format the older SSD that Windows 7 is on and use it as a backup drive. Before I format my old Windows 7 drive I want to check that 10 will load okay. In the past years I have removed drives and found my OS no longer boots, so I don't want to make that mistake this time. I need to make sure my boot is coming from the 10 drive. So I have done a screen grab for you to see. Do I need to make the actual 10 partition active, or is just having the 500mb reserved partition as active ok ? The windows 10 drive is listed as such (C) and the Windows 7 drive is titled "Ready to Format" (H).

Installation :: Downgrade To Windows 7 (NOT From PC Settings)

Oct 27, 2015

I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and now i want to downgrade, because the OS gets more and more limiting with every Insider Build and Update (How do you expect locking the Taskbar texture to not be changed to the Taskbar my Classic,XP Luna,and Aero have?) and for gaming reasons (Minecraft keeps on crashing,due to 10s automatic driver updates). Unfortunatly, with the way MicroLocker provided,since my laptop came with 8.1, Settings only let's me downgrade to 8.1, which is the OS i hated more than 10 (Even though it's limitful, 10 is better than 8). So how can i do that?

Installation :: Windows Cannot Be Installed To Disk

Jun 6, 2015

Trying to dual boot build 10130 iso on a fresh install of 8.1. Received a message:"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is not of the GPT partition style"

Laptop is an Asus x550c.
System recovery to Asus factory default.

Asus has a default 4 Partition setup. I added a 5th, Partition 6, by shrinking Partition 4
Looks something like this:

Drive 0 Partition 3 128MB MSR (Reserved)
Drive 0 Partition 4 OS 395GB Primary
Drive 0 Partition 5 451MB Recovery
Drive 0 Partition 6 New Volume 48GB Primary
Drive 0 Partition 7 Restore 20GB Recovery

I'm using the new Build 10130 iso which just came out.I don't want to use a VM like I have on a Desktop.
