| 1413013 | 2015-12-16 01:45:00 | I hate this OS with a passion. Have a customers PC here (HP AIO) that they did the in-place upgrade (cough) to Window 10.... and it won't boot. First thing that pops up: :( Your PC ran into a problem, and needs to restart. We'll restart for you. If you'd like to know more, you can search online later for this error: SYSTEM_LICENSE_VIOLATION Google brings up little info, apart from some MDT in-place upgrades failing and doing this too. Restarts, attempts automatic repair: Your PC did not start correctly (you don't say). Can either Restart (same loop), or advanced options. Tried a Reset from Troubleshooting, but that packs a sad and says it can't do it. So before I waste a day fluffing around, any quick fix (har har), other than booting to a live CD and pulling off data, then doing a fresh 10 install (and me hoping like hell 10 did activate on this hardware)? |

| 1413014 | 2015-12-16 02:02:00 | Is the PC an older model? If so has NX been enabled in BIOS? | Bryan (147) | ||
| 1413015 | 2015-12-16 02:31:00 | There should have been an error code as well . 0x?????? That code will tell you what was the probable cause . You can read through bug-check-0x9a-system-license-violation/ ( . solvusoft . com/en/errors/blue-screen-errors/microsoft-corporation/windows-operating-system/bug-check-0x9a-system-license-violation/" target="_blank">www . solvusoft . com) . BUT in all honesty, saving all your data and wiping the drive will be the safest option . HP's have several partitions, 6-7 of the damn things, often they will cause problems . If the PC has the product code in the motherboard there wont be a problem, just install it from fresh, skip entering the key and when it connects to the internet it will auto activate, OR if there's a key on the PC someplace just enter that . The latest Build . microsoft . com/en-us/software-download/techbench" target="_blank">www . microsoft . com Will accept all keys from W7 to W10 . Your problems are quite common with Name brand Computers, just done two today ( both HP laptops) that have stuffed up, so fresh installs :) Don't muck about with it, as it wont be right if its failed already . If it cant roll back to a previous Install, even when booting from the DVD its well and truly knackered . |

| 1413016 | 2015-12-16 04:16:00 | It's a newish model from earlier this year, 8.1 on it originally. No error code :waughh: I'll do the data retrieval and fresh install! Will save a lot of hassles I think One of those weeks, faulty HD on a laptop which appears to be unreadable for recovery/imaging and another laptop with a 8.1 fail.... another HP :annoyed: So that looks like another reload :eek::badpc: |

| 1413017 | 2015-12-16 13:40:00 | The biggest problem for me with W10 was my inability to learn a different way to do things. I solved that problem on my lappie by replacing the hard drive with one that had W7 on it. Every so often when I have free time I install the W10 hard drive and let it up date then have a play around with it and gradually learn its foibles. Just about have it sussed now but still prefer W7 |

| 1413018 | 2015-12-16 17:28:00 | As someone who never installed Win 8 but was forced to use it at work and hated it, I find Win 10 rather nice to use. However the claim it boots faster is disproved on my system. | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1413019 | 2015-12-16 19:50:00 | A fresh install it was. Now just need to drop the data back and install a couple of programs and it's done. 2 down, 1 to go. Another HP windows fail, 8.1 this time. | Renegade (16270) | ||
| 1413020 | 2015-12-16 21:25:00 | And the failure rate is ................ | bk T (215) | ||
| 1413021 | 2015-12-16 22:17:00 | The final Windows 10 upgrade you can find here. answers.microsoft.com Try to instal it... But as for me, Windows 10 is NOT WORTH TO instal to your laptop in any way. I used it in my friend computer and was not impressed at all! Just replaced our Earthquake damaged Acer with a HP laptop, advice from our hardware dealer, hold off on W10 for some time yet. MS are still correcting faults, even in Edge is the explanation. lurking. |

| 1413022 | 2015-12-16 22:20:00 | T . . . . . HP's have several partitions, 6-7 of the damn things, often they will cause problems . and the boot & win partitions can be in a non standard order (ie Win wont be 2nd partition), you wont notice untill it fails to load load for some reason . |
