w10 upgrade of lenovo laptop that will not upgrade, even when told to employ scorched earth policy and nuke all living bits!
W10 refuses to install.
Just about at the stage where it's now more economical for the client to purchase a new laptop.It wouldn't happen to be a 32bit CPU would it?
@scottalanmiller's post above has had me wondering.no mate, 64 bit with 8GB RAM.
If I boot up on a bootable W10 USB to install W10, will it or won't it see the existing W7 license and use that?
I've only been running setup.exe from within W7.
The license should be embedded into the hardware assuming it's an oem.

Are you sure the key here isn't retail or cracked?

It'll nab the key from the mobo.
I find it best to take as much Windows out of the equation as possible.I haven't been upgrading the Win7 PC's here. We're wiping and reloading. Too much fluffing about.

@siringo you're only on SP1, you have to manually update before you can upgrade.

Huh? There is only SP1 for W7.

well that laptop just decided to upgrade. I went in before it started and told it to not look for updates and drivers as part of the installation & it went straight through.

I've seen that stop upgrades before.
Someone recently posted the command line for doing the upgrade and telling it to skip checking for updates.

This assumes the machine is built like that. I don't think that started happening until sometime after 2012, maybe 2011.

now we only install POS Systems. We go through a vendor to manage firewall (NCR handles all firewalls) or they manage their own.

It started with the release of Windows 8, so 2012.

Do you recall - was this a simple BIOS extension, or was this UEFI only?
