Windows Update KB2976978 - Not Installed And Not Available

Jun 5, 2015

I am trying to get the little Reserve Windows 10 icon to show up in the taskbar of the new laptop I purchased. After some hunting around, I saw that one of the updates which must be installed is KB2976978. However, it is not being listed on Windows Update, and is not in my list of installed updates either.

Updates :: How To Select Which Update To Be Installed

Feb 3, 2016

I have a problem with a video driver that wants to be installed, but when it's installed the system becomes unstable (it can hang or automatically restart). This is a long standing problem on certain ASUS notebooks with certain NVIDIA display adapters. The driver is for the NVIDIA GeForce 9650M GT display adapter on an ASUS M70Vn with a 64-bit architecture. I am currently using the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, which provides a stable environment and works good enough for my purposes.

How can I prevent the NVIDIA driver from being installed with the Windows updates? In earlier versions of Windows (for example, Windows 7), you could select which updates to install by putting a checkmark in front of the updates you wanted installed. Not so with Windows 10. All you get is a list of updates that are available and a click-box that says "Install now". I'm running Windows 10 version 1511 (OS Build 10586.0).

Windows Store Not Installed?

Aug 28, 2015

I recently installed windows 10 on my HP stream 7 and after some driver updates everything works fine except for the store: it's just not there. Some apps came pre-installed and run normally, but some are shortcuts to downloads form the Windows Store and, when clicked, give me the pop-up message "You'll need a new app to open ms-windows-store."

Installing On New SSD Without Wiping HDD That Windows 7 Is Currently Installed On?

Sep 3, 2015

I currently have windows 7 on my 1TB hard drive and have recently bought a new 256gb Crucial SSD (but not installed it in my desktop yet).

I bought the SSD to be able to install games onto it so they load quicker but also if possible to have my OS booting from it so my computer loads quicker from switching on.

Someone put me onto the idea of using a program called Steam Mover to be able to move games from my HDD to the SSD without having to uninstall them and then re-download them direct to the SSD. I understand this can also be used for other programs like photoshop etc too.

I want to upgrade to Windows 10 but don't want to have to do a clean install and lose all the programs that i currently have installed such as Photoshop, Office, iTunes etc. Is it possible to somehow upgrade my OS on my HDD but then actually boot from the SSD perhaps by using the Steam Mover program?

If not, do I just have to bite the bullet and accept that I will either lose or have to reinstall a number of programs to my HDD? I do have a second 1TB HDD which is empty at the moment in case its needed for cloning files?

Windows May Be Installed In Unsupported Directory

Jan 6, 2016

So I am currently on the Windows Insider Preview builds and have been having some issues with them and decided that they aren't for me. I was trying to do an upgrade installation to get back onto stock Windows 10 without losing anything but any time I get the installer running I am not allowed to select the option to keep all my stuff because "Windows may be installed in an unsupported directory." I have looked around and it talks about changing the default program files directory in the registry and to revert that back, but I never did that tweak in the first place.

Windows Cannot Be Installed On Drive 0 Partition 2

Mar 17, 2016

I've lately been trying to upgrade to windows 10, which is available for free. Since I have been using windows 7 for more 2.5 year on my desktop computer, I thought that now was a good time to do a fresh reinstall of windows from 7 to 10.

So I did a backup of all my important data to an external HDD, so they're all safe. I then tried to make a true clean install following this guide: [URL] ....

Then this happened : [URL] ....

My computer:

Core i7 4770K
Asus Z87-Pro
16 gb ram
2x GTX 780 SLi
2x Samsung 850 250 gb SSD's (no RAID)
Corsair AX850W PSU

Updates :: How To Find Which Product Key Has Been Used For Installed Windows

Aug 28, 2015

Windows 10 x64

As I have multiple retail license keys, I am unsure which one is in use right now.

There are 3rd party key finders that may show the key in use, but I prefer to obtain the key using Windows own tools, if possible. For instance using a CMD.(Am uncertain about these 'key finders': can they be trusted?)

Selected Disk Has MBR Partition Table On EFI Systems - Windows Can Only Be Installed On GPT Disks

Aug 5, 2015

i got the windows 10 upgrade from windows update, downloaded it and installed it. went to microsoft website downloaded windows 10 to put onto a usb drive. before performing a clean install i partitioned my drive and dropped around 230gb of stuff on it (967gb total drive, partitioned 280). when i tried to format the drive i encountered this issue

"windows cannot be installed to the disk. the selected disk has an mbr partition table. on efi systems, windows can only be installed to gpt disks.".

I don't know if the problem is my hdd or my usb drive or my bios. i tried deleting the partition and then pressing new but i continue to get the same error. i tried looking around but i cant make any sense of the posts with this error being solved. one of the posts says to change usb efi to gpt in bios but i dont think that option is in my bios (i can post a picture of bios if needed). another option is to clean the entire disk with cmd but i dont want to lose the other partition.

Windows Update Error 80070643 When Upgrading From Windows 8.1

Jul 29, 2015

On Window 8.1. Boosted the install which a lot of people are doing by clearing SoftwareDistribution/Download and running the cmd prompt.

Downloaded the Windows 10 update, as soon as the Preparing to Install dialogue was done, the computer restart, trying to install a normal Windows 8.1 update instead.

Once I am booted up again, I get this error [URL] .... and try the fix.

Once I try and redownload the update again, it skips to 100%, then fails the update with the error 80070643 being reported.

Updates :: Only 3 Windows Updates Installed After Clean Install

Jan 5, 2016

I cleaned installed Win10 Pro using the Media Creation Tool and how come I only got 3 updates? I am assuming I would get more updates than these.

Running version 1511 build 10586

Is it because Win10 is too new ???

And I kept pressing the Check for Updates button and it said no more new updates.
