pc problem loading windows 10

[ukracer]

AH but I have the key a genuine 0ne. Just not the install disc. I am sure a Windows 7 64 bit Enterprise ISO for a USB Stick must exist.

 

[ukracer]

I just remembered I paid for winto USB a while back. I will try that.

 

[gaz1]

nope unless you installed it on one yourself

i use the others so its easier to install on a usb stick and install them from there

win to usb maybe the program you need to boot it from the usb from the iso file therefore you want the iso instead

Google Search

www.google.com

its not something i need to look for

yes it is.

The biggest problem is this..UPDATE: Microsoft has recently removed all official direct links to download Windows 7.

I am fine when I get home. I am fed up with laptops so I will run Cura on the desktop I run here.

I give up...gone back to Windows 7 and now it's missing dll,s.
Neve4 had this problem with it before.
So how good is this laptop. I know someone selling one to get some quick cash because they now have a works laptop and don't need their own.

windows 7 does not have all of your drivers for any laptop as you have to go get each one from there servers

there is other places to get your laptops drivers just incase you cant get them from the original place

my discs have many added drivers and other things but dont have them all as that would mean building a new disc up of which you can do, they are so handy when your installing them

Got new (2nd hand) Lenovo Z50-Z50. Pulled 1TB Win10 HDD out and put my Linux 1TB SSD in ....sorted. Couple of driver fixes done.

if linux was better to use and had nearly all of the windows games/programs that work within it

linux would find alot of the windows users would jump to it

i dont see the need to have linux installed and then use a vr that has windows installed on just to run other things might as well have a windows pc if your going to do that and keep them seperate

If win games are your thing then there's no other path to tread. For 3D animation and graphics I prefer Linux (well everything really). Did try dual booting years ago but found I didn't need Win for anything I did. Only problem is bios updates (on win preloaded machine), but fwupgrd from terminal should eventually solve it. I run a few diferent OS's in Vbox and Docker, such as win7-10-11, Centos, Fedora, Red hat, etc...

from facebook or company on net ?

Well I gave up checking as a bad job.
It was flagged to me by a user of Midlands fishing tackle on Facebook. Which I am the admin.
Sounded like he had a mate selling one.
It transpired it was a member who had got past the defences and added a large number of laptop adverts.
So I DMed the member and he replied..
I don't know what he said as Facebook pulled the replies claiming they went against their community standards.

So I decided I don't need the hassle. Seemed a bit to good to be true the price and Facebook must have had a reason so I just deleted the guy and all his adverts....

Never really thought about that. But I was skeptical of the windows 7 iSO so I gave up and cleaned my car instead.

the issue you may have is getting those drivers but they will exist somewhere

just becareful where you go and make sure you use a firewall and virus software

dont forget your gcard driver either

Not been a gamer since Tombraider, but was curious to see what new games can be run on Linux and came across this...

Yes, ‘Elden Ring’ Is Perfectly Playable On Linux (Including Online Features)

Beyond "just working" as expected, Valve is making Linux-exclusive improvements to Elden Ring's terrible stuttering.

A week or so ago I was dismayed to find my big stand alone which was updated when new to a top of the range spec at the time is an original windows 7 circa 2010 up dated to Win 10 is too old to sort out .

Now I cannot update it any more as windows 11 has come along it's not fast enough, the mother board is not right etc etc MS just keps kicking back to ther is a problem with your computer update it , then when I try says updating is no longer possible.
So I'm having to get rid of it and replace it with a more modern higher speed & capacity computer , I'm hoping I can use the screen as a monitor and send the data to it from a new second hand laptop.


I did wonder if UNBUTU could be employed but feel at 72 that my brain is getting too scrambled these day to carry it out and keep it updated.

Get a copy of Linx Mint.....a doddle...so windows-like been using it15yrs or so. Comes with the usual bloatware ...Office etc.
I like MS Windows because it makes high-end computers obsolete and cheap to buy.

Got a boxed set in the garage somewhere of MS ver Tombraider.
Wine is more like whine for me never had any great success with it. Online chess is my game.

 

[gaz1]

i had a fair few battles with online chess on yahoo games at one time

there was plenty of sore losers on there as i knew of the 4-5 moves of mine to get check mate

i hurt many a persons win rate with that, a few abandoned the game once they was aware of the name

i play the adult version of chess nowadays

why do you think it took so long for me to find ones for me

Ok thread resurrection.
Still have the feeling I need a new laptop but I do need to get one of these I have working.

Just to bring you all up to date. I have tried about 5 different windows 7 installs now.
One of which I used for years and was faultless but now, whilst I am using an older laptop it was working with windows 10 on it but the graphics drivers would not let cura run.

So trying afresh this weekend after a break from it and low and behold the same problems.
It won't let cura run ...this time because Of a Microsoft error in 2015 distributable.
It flags up no error code though so it won't tell me why it's failed.

I googled the issue and one of the fixes is checking for windows updates.....BUT it won't do it or can't.
I am not sure if it can't find the servers as they have been turned of by Microsoft.
It's one thing not supporting a product but it's another not allowing us to support ourselves.

Anyone else having similar problems with new installs of Windows 7...is it actually downloading updates?
