Hcl Icon L1015 Drivers

[Louann Mauffray]

UpdateWindows 10 has been out long enough now that most modern PCs are going to be fine running the new OS. In fact, most if not all PCs for consumers will come with it preinstalled.

Microsoft this week announced that the Windows 10 release date is July 29th, and it also pushed out the Windows 10 upgrade app to all Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users. This utility allows you to reserve your Windows 10 upgrade. But first, you might want to check if your computer can run the new version.

To get a definitive answer if your current computer can handle Windows 10, you need to run the Get Windows 10 app. You know, that annoying icon that just started showing up a few weeks ago. Click the Windows flag icon you see on the system tray.

I do not have the Windows 10 icon in the Taskbar of my Windows 8.1 Tablet. I have no updates pending. I do not have the W 10 notification update in my Updates History. Should I, or can I expect it to arrive later?

My PC says I am good to go, what I would really like to know though is as I am running Windows 7 SP1 and my scanner and Printer work fine in Windows 7. If I update to windows 10 will I be required to install new drivers for windows 10 Operating system, as a number of manufacturers will not be producing legacy device drivers. So the cost of updating to windows 10 although the OS is free may cost me in terms of having to purchase new hardware that is windows 10 compatible. Sorry I have been unable to find a definitive answer from the product website.

Hi Martin.

You will not be required to install new drivers for windows 10. This is done automatically. You have up to 1 year to try it and if your not happy you can remove it. I have it and I really and enjoying it. Your computer is faster also. Good luck.

You may find that some devices do not have the best version of drivers installed, I have just had to update both my Canon printer drivers as functions were not available when I first moved from 7 to 10.

It may well be worth checking for drivers as a non urgent operation; I obtained better drivers directly from Canon,

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the reply, I am fairly sure all the Software will be compatible with Windows 10, however its the Hardware drivers that worry me, when I updated to windows 7 I was told that windows would search for the best drivers. In a number of cases it was unable to find the drivers of hardware devices as the manufacturers did not provide legacy hardware drivers to MS for windows 7 OS so you would have to down load a specific windows 7 driver from the manufacturers website. I am fairly sure now that windows 10 will also require specific Hardware drivers compatible with windows 10 and for older devices where the manufacturer thinks it is not worth the development of a new driver for an older hardware device we will be stuck with hardware that will not work with Windows 10. Could anyone confirm?

Between XP and Windows 7 some big changes were made as a result drivers sometimes did not work, though in a few cases work around did. I was given the impression that after 7 the driver model was kept stable. If anyone can confirm or deny that, I too would welcome the news.

There are rumours but I wait to hear anything clear from MS on how it is going to help us upgrade. It is the upgrade process, not actually running W10, which is the issue, even for my new W8.1 device. We are probably going to have to use the ISO route, which seems much too complicated for me. I have just read a very detailed article on it.

When I scanned my Windows 7 machine, it said Windows 10 was incompatible due to the integrated graphics (but I forgot exactly what it said, so I tried it again, and this time it said it was OK). Should I buy a graphics card or not. Will I be able to revert to Windows 7?

Some time back, the Windows 10 icon appears and of course I checked to see if my laptop was compatible for Windows 10 and it was. I then reserved my copy for Windows 10 and was sent confirmation of my reservation via email. Just yesterday, I saw I had a few important updates to download in Windows Update and I did the update. I rebooted my laptop and when Windows came back up, the Windows 10 icon was no longer in my taskbar. I find it impossible that my laptop that was totally compatible would become not compatible because of a Windows update. Is this a problem or should I not be concerned?

This has me flummoxed as I have tried to download it numerous times using appropriate steps

ie: removing everything from software distribution/download folder then forcing another download but to no avail !

I had the same problem. Finally a message showed up that my graphics were incompatible as the manufacturer had not updated the drivers. I upgraded my graphics card and drivers, but still cannot install 10 as the compatibility checker still sees my old (on board) graphics! Does anyone know how to reset this?

I used to have the GetWindows10 app in the taskbar

i reserved it and after a couple of Windows updates the GetWindows10 app is gone

It still says that Windows 10 is reserved in Windows Update

I dont have any pending updates for my computer

i want to know if it will still download the update or not.

It is not clear why your are having those issues since they are key parts of MS marketing strategy, or as they would rather I said key parts of the customer satisfaction package. I suspect that you might have a damaged download.

I am assuming that you are using one of the supported languages for one of the countries that are currently able to use Cortana, if not you will not get it until it is available in your language or country.

in the check ur pc option it coming this pc will have problems in running windows 10.why?

in devices it showing that the manufactures have not made this device compatible with windows 10?

will i be able to run windows 10?

pls answer

Thank you sir, I brought a new memory and replaced, no use, brought a new had cloned it and try ed it, this time it completed install and one second screen come and then went out telling error happend,

I was surprised that you bought new memory, I suggested that you test the memory you had as that was just one of the possible faults. From what you said it appears that the hard disk has been replaced, is this correct? Are you certain that the clone was a perfectly functioning clone with no errors?

It is very hard to diagnose a situation remotely from limited information. Are you able to operate the machine in safe mode, this will not load drivers and may bypass any problem with them?

If you can get access this way you have several options, but none of them are easy to follow if you are not familiar with fault finding.

You can check out the type of video capability on the machine and research to find a new driver that is suitable.

You can see if there is a better generic driver.

If there are any fault messages in the boot logs, device logs or any of he other logs which will guide you.

There is a whole lot of possible steps that can be taken, but sometimes the next step depends on the results of an earlier step.

Sometimes removing the driver in software and rebooting can allow the driver to be re-installed and clear any issues that way.

I suspect that you may need face to face contact with someone who can test through the possible steps to return the machine to a fully functional state.

than you for such detailed reply, fist i tried to upgrade with old memory and hard disk it went to restart modes in last stage of installation and i had no option to get back to windows 7. did not start in safe mode also

as i was plnaning to change memory and hdd i brought both and did a clone with windows backup only, it worked properly in windows 7 i tried to upgrade again. this time it completed installation and i got the desktop for a while. before i was trying to see different menu system crashed and went to restart modes. i could run it in safemode with out network. but not in normal mode, when starting i could make the audio humming and extended and crashing. in safe mode i could see a yellow trangle in device manager for display. foolishly restarted and system went back to reboot modes and i am forced to restore the windows 7

any way sunday i am planing to have anew instaltion of windows 7 and then upgrade to 10 and see

I am stuck up with this issue SINCE AUGUST 1, 2015. I loved the features of windows 10 and it is faster than windows 7 but the above problems repeatedly makes me too annoyed to use this new OS. I was having zero problem when windows 7 ultimate was installed.

I would not risk it as the experience will be pretty poor. At best you will not see all of the screen and possibly you will not see anything. It is very likely that the install will get so far, which may not be very far and then it will fail, hopefully gracefully and wind back to you original state. If the screen is sub par it is likely that other aspects of your PC may not be good for Windows 10. The worst result is that the computer really ends up in an unusable mess.

If you really want to find out what happens make very sure you have some very good back ups first.

i did try install 3 times, no time it was success full. but it automatically given option to revert back with out any issue. so i think people can try. But even when no comparability issue may lap did not accept windows 10, so i realy suspect will it help or worth trying when their is an issue

Be careful of what you update to. I do not know much about Windows 8, 9 or 10 systems, even though worked on a couple of computers with these systems on they can be a bit much with heaps of extra features.

If you should happen to update to Windows 10 and do not like it, or your computer is to old to run it properly it would mean to get back to your current system, your computer would have to be re-set up with the older or current system you are using.

Just a note on my systems: for Internetting and other programs I run Windows XP, it runs fast and smooth with no problems. No virus program and no firewall and no updates so great speed and stability.
