P.K. Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I've put it on loads of windows 10 machines. Just download it and run it. It will install fine. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/essentials Go for custom install to remove the extras you don't want. Well it won't load on my Dell. I get Error Code 0x80040800 with the message "Please waste your time fruitlessly restarting your computer. That'll teach YOU! "We're Microsoft. Don't fuck with us..."

mbx Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Give Thuderbird a try. You can always uninstall it ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GD4ELI Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Only one I've had a problem with was my HP DV6 - overheats during upgrade then no graphics driver when you do get past that! Good excuse to upgrade laptop! Clean the laptop - get the dust out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Yesterday PM my W10 system processed a shitload of updates. It does make me wonder just how stable it is. Anyway this morning Windows Essentials downloaded ok. Unfortunately I can'c check anything because we are off to town to see The Corrs. More later.

P.K. Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Well the missus bought the tickets because we like to have stuff to look forward to. Also booked a hotel across the road from the event, went to a decent restaurant etc etc just to add to the experience. Anyway, I thought it would be a bit samey / happy-clappy. However I was pleasantly surprised at just what accomplished musicians they are which I hadn't realised until we saw them live. Mind you, I've seen more meat on a chicken leg....

Rhumsaa Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Has anyone got a link to a retailer selling legit Windows 7 copies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Very few official suppliers will sell Windows 7 now. Your best bet is to go to ebay and find a sealed retail boxed copy - there are plenty. Usual ebay caution applies. If you buy a new PC with Windows 10 Pro, most suppliers supply downgrade media or pre-install Windows 7 Pro. Downgrade rights apply to Pro versions only, not home versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
