win 10 upgrade

[crackerjack]

Sorry was trying to say -a bit risky otherwise but meant try repair without from the ISO disk now it’s basically working fine but for slow startup after all you’ve helped tweak to date? Just a thought friends!

Hey fellas --have just discovered something that confuses me -and may throw some light on problem all along …?
Having carried out the process suggested in SAFE MODE above, I went to change back into NORMAL mode via System Configuration #
In “startup” it says selective startup and though I check “normaL” it keeps reverting back
Also if I go to BOOT tab it reads :-
Windows 7 (C:\Windows) default O. S.
Surely this will be confusing the PC and causing delay at startup -the problem we have been facing??
Or as usual am I talking out my …******? head

One final Question and I`ll leave you alone!!!
A colleague has mentioned a sware package which helped a friend of a friend etc etc etc ----neosmart easy recovery essentials
Thoughts / comments ???

OK friends --now weve got a teazer -and I`m using tablet and at the moment -not touching a thing till Ive heard from you
By coincidence we had a power cut and when supply was reinstated I received a message that pc did not shut down properly and would restart in???seconds
Did I wish to use 1.WINDOWS 7 (???) OR 2 . An earlier version of Windows
I allowed it to proceed automatically -and it started --and was running with WIN10 screen and functions
All this occurred after carrying out the safemode adjustments as requested and then reverting to normal Win10 o s I have throughout your topic advice created privazer restore points
But what confuses me is the lack of reference to win 10 -only win 7 -yet other than slow boot time it has been running fine in Win 10 mode
I will wait for your comments before touching it further --at moment in the win 10 screen Iput it in sleepmode
cheers fellas Crackerjack

as not heard from you -carried on regardless Put iso downloadon usb stick and did repair reinstall
message that file missing and remove A V (already had -Bitdefender )

But did deep clena and repeated repair install from USB stick and it worked!
Then I had fingers crossed - but ewhen I switched on took 22mins again
Then when running I got orange screen and message "handling updates
That took about an HOUR - Then I got blue screen
So I switched off and on again and did SYSTEM RESTORE to before updates loaded
and guess what it ran fine again !
switched off and nextime on I had the Windows security programme on --and then it started “critical updates” and then aaaaaaagh guess what --------22 mins boot time

SO - DID SYSTEM RESTORE -and went offline -and at moment works fine but not connected tonet -just working on it -docs / spreadsheets / drawings etc

but can anyone tell me why they thrust updates / critical updates on us that cobble it up!!
I fear at moment if i switch off and reconnect and switch on Ill get another bloody update that causes 22min boot
or
missing file message because of a virus
or

the good old blue screen error message

good old microsoft

oh and PS it stopped my Epson printer connecting to home network
So at moment - my wife has to email me docs(but cant cos I aint online) and then I can print them out for her as my PC is on a stand alone connection

What a farce!

You would do yourself a great service by installing a fresh copy of Windows 10, which you are entitled to do. Upgrading is often fraught with stories such as yours. See HERE for how to get the latest ISO.

I fully accept your viewpoint and domt want to sound ungrateful for all your help
Its just that now -after a lot of “messing around” I have a PC thats working (and now back online ) and if I leave in sleep mode overnight -ONLY (dont laugh ) takes about 2mins to start up (thats infinitely better than 22mins eh?)
I would need to reinstall all sware if I carried out a clean install and this would include office and two engineering and cad progs -all dongol -crypkey protected Theres the time involved / the risk they have problems then loading onto win 10 and If these go *****shaped its the cost of a new key to run them Frankly fellas I dont think its worth the risk Best wait till I get a new PC and tackle it the ONCE
I know if I ever see Microsoft dangling a new upgrade in future to Win12 or whatever … yeah!
Wish it ********miles away!
So for now mark it solved and Ill leave it be!
Many thanks or your patience and efforts -but no bouquets to MS you can be assured!!
