Windows 8 Pro Upgrade To Windows 10

[Albina Hickel]

Ihave a business grade HP machine still running Windows 7 that came with the machine.

I want to update it now to Windows 10.

The main link on the MS site for downloading the Update (22H2 - -us/software-download/windows10) is giving me an error on both my desktop and laptop machines when I go to launch the exe it downloads:

If I download the "Create installation media" file, will that give me the same option to "update over Windows 7" the exact same way the Update link would (if it was working properly, that is)?

Found out what the issue was - when I ran setup.exe /compat with the Windows 11 installer it came up with processor not compatible with Windows 11 - despite the manufactures website saying that the serial number is compatible with windows 11 and supplies all the right drivers!!!

Had the same issue with going from Windows 11 21H2 to 23H2 erroring out -while going from Windows 10 20H2/22H2 to Windows 11 23H2 worked fine. Ran the setup command like you said and it came back with the same processor error. Was able to get around that by adding a step to the task sequence that added the registry key Microsoft put out to bypass TPM requirements ( Ways to install Windows 11 - Microsoft Support ) before the system upgrade step.

I found this article on a similar issue with Git on Mac OS X, which leads me to believe that it has something to do with a faulty PATH, but I'm still pretty new at all this (five months self-taught), so I'm at a loss in how to translate this to Windows.

To update to the latest version of Git and Git Bash, you can download and install the latest version of Git for Windows. As per this FAQ, settings/customizations should be preserved if they were installed in the appropriate configuration folders.

Note: Their installer is actually intelligently designed to do the right thing (though it doesn't tell you upfront that it defaults to your prior settings automatically!).

If you are doing an update, then every screen on the installer is pre-marked with the settings from your current (soon to be previous) install.

There is a checkbox at the bottom [] Show only new settings (I don't remember the exact wording). Since nothing on the first screen changes when you mark the box, it is not exactly obvious what it is for. If you mark the box, then all of your current settings will be retained, and it will skip showing those (subsequent) settings screens to you. Only screens with newly introduced settings will be shown.

Update (26 September 2016): It is no longer needed to uninstall your previous version of Git to upgraded it to the latest; the installer package found at Git Windows download site takes care of all. Just follow the prompts.

Using the command "where git" find out how command prompt picks up the version. Once you have the path, you can go ahead and uninstall / delete previous version completely. Then if you install and make sure the new installed location is in the path, it should just work fine.

Using git-friendly tools like cmder will make your life much easier. You don't really have to use dual boot or cygwin anymore since the support for git in windows is already top-notch now. (Git for windows installs msysgit which includes all necessary unix tools from MinGW. MinGW has been there for a while and is pretty stable. If you want you can install the full version of msysgit rather than Git for Windows. msysgit is available on Git for windows page at the bottom.)

Based on Simon's answer, I first uninstalled the new version of Git. I then re-installed the new version of Git into the same directory as the old version, C:/RailsInstaller/Git, instead of the default directory C:/Git.

Find the line or lines where git is referenced. Then, make sure this path point to your Git 1.8.x installation. If not, delete it and add the real path to the newest Git version. At the end, you should only have one path in the string linking to Git.

If your windows are in good condition, taking steps to improve their efficiency may be the most cost-effective option to increase the comfort of your home and save money on energy costs. There are several things you can do to improve the efficiency of your existing windows:

First look for the ENERGY STAR label when buying new windows. Then review ratings on the energy performance label from the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) to find the most efficient windows for your needs.

I have an HP EliteBook 860 G9 laptop, and it has been asking me to install this update (Intel Corporation - SoftwareComponent - 2.1123.706.4) every 2-3 days for the past few months. Every time it requires a reboot, then the same update pops up again after 2-3 days and asks for another reboot, etc.

All I can suggest is that you use the Windows Update Show-Hide Tool (which runs as a toubleshooter) to hide this update so that it is not reinstalled. I have attached the tool (which MS took off their site for some reason). It works for both Windows 10 and Windows 11. Information on using this tool is provided here: -or-hide-updates-utility-fixing-automatic-installation-of-a-problematic-update-in-windows-10-version-1903.aspx.

I have never heard of it interfering like this. Frankly, I think the upgrade path is trash; MS simply didn't do as good a job as in the past. You could try doing a from scratch installation of Windows 11 (i.e., boot from the installation media), telling it to keep your files through the process.

This is an ongoing issue since years between Intel and HP. HP uses a branded variation of the Intel chipsets in their latest Laptop models and Intels detection-routine for the driver has not excluded these variations. Intel also forwarded this incomplete detection logic to Microsoft and that's why Windows shows these driver-updates as being required on the HP Laptop.

But here comes the weird part: Even if the detection routine from Intel (Microsoft) says, that these drivers needs to be installed, the final driver-install routine from Intel does a more comprehensive check and blocks the install when it detects such HP variations of their chipset. You can see the exact error in the Windows event logs in the XML-details of that error-event.

FYI- Microsoft has just release the "Intel Corporation - SoftwareComponent - 3.1024.505.1" as part of the windows update.

You will still have the same issue as for all the previous version of those Intel-drivers as before.

default Use the default search source. For many systems default is set to the Microsoft Windows Update catalog. Systems participating in Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or similar corporate update server environments may default to those managed update sources instead of the Windows Update catalog.

managed_server Use a managed server catalog. For environments utilizing Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or similar corporate update servers, this option selects the defined corporate update source.

By default ansible.windows.win_updates does not manage reboots, but will signal when a reboot is required with the reboot_required return value. reboot can be used to reboot the host if required in the one task.

ansible.windows.win_updates can take a significant amount of time to complete (hours, in some cases). Performance depends on many factors, including OS version, number of updates, system load, and update server load.

Beware that just after ansible.windows.win_updates reboots the system, the Windows system may not have settled yet and some base services could be in limbo. This can result in unexpected behavior. Check the examples for ways to mitigate this.

By default the ansible.builtin.ssh connection plugin is configured to have no server timeout. As Windows Updates can restart the network adapter it is recommended to set -o ServerAliveInterval=30 and disable control master in ansible_ssh_args to ensure the client can handle a network reset. See the examples showing one way this can be set.

To make sure you're protected by the latest security updates, Google Chrome can automatically update when a new version of the browser is available on your device. With these updates, you might sometimes notice that your browser looks different.

The browser saves your opened tabs and windows and reopens them automatically when it restarts. Your Incognito windows won't reopen when Chrome restarts. If you'd prefer not to restart right away, click Not now. The next time you restart your browser, the update will be applied.

In the results from the NFRC CPD search, if the field for your Climate Zone is shaded green, the product is eligible for the tax credit. If the field is not shaded green, the product is not eligible for the tax credit.

In addition to limits on the amount of credit you can claim for any particular equipment installation or home improvement, there are annual aggregate limits. The overall total limit for an efficiency tax credit in one year is $3,200. This breaks down to a total limit of $1,200 for any combination of home envelope improvements (windows/doors/skylights, insulation, electrical) plus furnaces, boilers and central air conditioners. Any combination of heat pumps, heat pump water heaters and biomass stoves/boilers are subject to an annual total limit of $2,000. (Note: ENERGY STAR certified geothermal heat pumps are eligible for a separate tax credit and not counted against these limits.)
