Windows 10 was downloaded.

PC was working ok for several weeks.

When tried to start PC one day, just left with a black screen and it said Windows was missing.

 

As Windows 10 was downloaded from internet it is not possible to reinstall it. 

 

Why would it disappear and how do I begin to rectify the problem?

How can I get it to work?  I have the product key that came with the computer.

recovery cd for OEM windows 8 desktop

HI,

 

I have recently found my hard drive is failing. Actually will not boot up. I have Acronis software to try to duplicate the hard drive, but it says that there are bad sectors and I cannot make the copy to a new SSD. Most of my personal files are saved on USB flash drives, and I was able to obtain files off of the dead hard drive, but I can't get the OEM operating system off of the old drive. What can I do to obtain a recovery disc or another copy of windows 8 without having to buy another OS?  Or is there another way to try to retrieve anything off of my dead drive?

 

thanks for any help

Hello.
I have this problem where i turned my PC on and it said "prepairing automatic repair" followed by "diagnosing PC" and finally "repairing disk error, this may take over an hour"
It had been like that for 10+ hours and i know there is something wrong. Any help would be appriciated.
Thank you.

Since HP Support won't help me - perhaps someone here will....

I very recently purchased this product to replace my aging HP s5310f slimline.  The new system has the 6th gen i7-6700 8 core CPU and 16GB RAM.  My old one has a 2 core CPU and 8 GB RAM so I figured the new one would be blazingly faster.

The new one came with Windows 10 installed but that was fine because I had been running Windows 10 for a year on the old one quite successfully.  But much to my surpise the new one ran and runs like a snail in Alaska in the wintertime.  We're talking clicking on the file-explorer icon and waiting easily 10-15 SECONDS to get the first screen displayed.  And everything I tried was the same.   Very shortly after setting this system up M$ released their annivesary update which I applied.  If anything it ran even slower.  Because i do programming fo a living I was forced to continue to use my older HP for my projects while still reseaching the slowness of the new one.  Research showed that M$ has many compaints of slowness and last week they release an "emergency fix" to supposedly correct this.   Again, nothing improved.   So my only option is/was to install Windows 7 from my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 DVD.   I changed my UEFI to legacy to support booting from a DVD and restarting.  I am given the option to boot from DVD and the Windows 7 setup program begins.  And the very first prompt that appears is the End User License Agreement (EULA) which one MUST check and click the NEXT button to proceed.  But wait!  My USB keyboard and mouse DO NOT WORK!   Research shows that the Windows 7 DVD does not contain the drivers compatible with the new Sky(something) system.  So I cannot agree to continue.  In fact, the only option available is to physically shut off the machine.   Get the picture???

 

So, I'm hoping that someone may be aware of how one may be able to resolve this or circumvent the issue in a practical manner ( I could customize my own Windows DVD but that's not really practical).

So I'be be very interested to see if anyone can help.

Thanks for reading and honestly I don't expect any practical answers.  And if I do I will be exceptionally grateful.

Unable to restore my WIM files from backup dvds created,

I have an hp desktop running windows 7 home premium. recently I attempted to upgrade to windows 10 but something failed. I was forced to create backup cd's by the recovery manager (12 in total) AND run the restore cd provided by hp to repair my workstation.  I have read numerous articles and forums that suggest booting from recovery cd 1 and also from recovery cd 12 ...that hasnt worked. The recovery manager application does appear in the recovery folder saved on disk 1 and also a configuration file, but when i click on recovery manager, the spinning pointer sits there (like its working the request) but after an hour or so , does nothing, goes right back to idle.  I understand that 7-zip unzips wim. files if you want to go the long route of opening all 130 saved files and manually extracting each backed-up portion of my workstation but would really prefer to have the recovery software restore my files.  what do i  do??? can i get a functioning recovery manager, or is there another type of software out there that recognizes wim's and will restore my files for me.

Fans loud at idle on new Windows 10 machine, possibly due to anniversary update

Not to repeat myself, but I was helping my parents to install a new HP slimline 260 Windows 10 PC, and after installing some web browsers and updating Windows 10 with the anniversary update and a few others, after all of the restarts, and after testing it out post-update (it was working as expected) this morning I power up the machine and the fans seem to be working at 100%, even though CPU utilization is consistently low (sub 10%) and the computer is at idle.

 

I'm literally sitting there for 10 minutes with task manager open, watching nothing run and yet the fans are much louder than what they were for the brief time the PC was without the anniversary update, never cycling down even for an instant.

 

I've tried changing the power policy from active to passive cooling and restarting; nothing. I've tried installing speedfan and activating automatic fan control; nothing.

 

Please help!

How reinstall manufacture copy of windows on new hard drive

Hi,

 

I have a HP Desktop and the Hard Drive is failing. I tried to clone it with reflect, but it says "Broken pipe error" and won't clone. So I downloaded windows 7 from Microsoft, but when i entered the serial key, it said the key for windows was manufacturer copy and I needed to contact HP about getting a copy of windows.

 

Is there a way i can reinstall a new copy of windows onto my new harddrive with my old key? It's for the same computer. or what could i do to fix this before my hard drive finally dies on me.

 

cheers
