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.

@siringo you're only on SP1, you have to manually update before you can upgrade.
Huh? There is only SP1 for W7.
Yup, there is only SP1 for W7.

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

Hey - your company, does it manage the firewalls for your clients - or only install the POS systems?

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?

UEFI has nothing to do with it.

I just discovered that Netflix is going even further to destroy scientific literacy by giving Gwyneth Paltrow a show for her bullshit Goop website. I thought the Bill Nye show was bad enough - he would not engage in any actual, reasonable debate with any guests. Instead, he just bashed them as people to "disprove" their ideas. What a fuckbag. Way to usher society backwards, Netflix.

So are you boycotting Netflix based on their ideas or just Bill-Nye-The Engerring student-wannabe-Scienceguy?

@WrCombs I can't get rid of Netflix (don't have cable) but I probably will write them a sternly worded email. People are dumb enough already, no need for Netflix to help.

I agree, Bill Nye creates flat earthers. He can't explain science, he uses science as a weapon. I hated him even way back when. He never taught people to think, he might promote the right answers, but he does so in a way that doesn't teach people to reach the same conclusion, but to blindly follow. He's like a religious leader, not a scientist or educator.
