How do I get a replacement Windows 10?

null@example.com (xarzu) — Wed, 05 Dec 2018 19:29:27 +0000

I got locked in one of those update loops. You know what I mean, probably. My Windows 10 would start an automatic update, then fail, and then reset itself to a previous version. This would happen all of the time.

I eventually decided to back everything up on an external drive and simply reinstall Windows 10 from scratch. Then I found out that the CD (or maybe it is a DVD) was lost in our move. I have the ("OEM"?) sticker but the actual product CD has been lost in the move and I can not find it. Does anyone know how I can reinstall the OS with just the product ID etc.?

Someone suggest this link as a way to fix the problem:

How to fix Windows Update in Windows 10 if it becomes stuck
We reveal the number of ways to jump-start Windows Update if it decides to stop working
Windows Update gets stuck. It's a fact of life. A rubbish fact, mind, but a fact nonetheless. Ever since Windows was capable of updating itself via the internet, it's always got stuck at some point in time. Windows Update being stuck is an inevitability, just like your toast falling butter-side down onto the floor or it always raining on that one day you tell yourself you'll sort the garden out today.

How to fix Windows Update: Delete files in Software Distribution
This trick, thanks to The Windows Club, involves a little more interaction with your computer’s system settings. It shouldn’t cause any damage to your PC – you’ll only really be deleting temporary Windows Update files – but we’d recommend setting up a System Restore point before going any further.
First, you’ll need to stop Windows Update Service and Background Intelligent Transfer Service. Type "win+x" to bring up the WinX menu, and from here select the command prompt (admin). There are two commands you’ll need to type:
net stop wuauserv
net stop bits
Press Enter after you type each one. This will turn off Windows Update Service and Background Intelligent Transfer Service.
Next, you’ll need to delete the files in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution. Go to the appropriate folder, select all of the files and press Delete.
If the files can’t be deleted because they're in use, you’ll need to restart your PC. Turn off the two Windows Update services and then try to delete the files again.
Once the folder has been emptied, either restart your computer or manually turn on the Windows Update services. To do this, bring up the command prompt (admin) and type:
net start wuauserv
net start bits
Now run Windows Update and you’ll find that your PC needs to download a number of updates, which can take up to a few hours, depending on your system and connection.

After doing all this, the update window says I am all up to date:

But the update history says that the last install failed:

So, what is up with that?

I noticed that there is a recovery option to reset my PC

But this takes me back to the problem of not having the CD
I guess if I am up to date, I don't need the CD now. But it would be nice to know for future use how to do this.

NTLite supports Windows 10

Could integrate Drivers easily into W10. Wouldn't it be cool to make some Driverpacks for W10 and NTLite now?

Winows 10 Driverpack & Linx 1010B Tablet PC

null@example.com (iansys) — Mon, 24 Apr 2017 20:12:51 +0000

Downloaded DriverPack-17-Online_395285083.1492980021.exe and ran it on my Linx 1010B Tablet PC. It failed to create a restore point and failed to apply "chipset intel" entries. After I shut down my tablet I was unable to start it up again. It went into automatic repair mode and I tried selected advanced options and selected USB EFI start up option but it failed to start up from the Windows 10 recovery USB that I had created when I last restored the tablet after WiFi problems. I have tried a couple of time to get this to work but each time it fails. This leaves me with last resort option of a Factory Reset and then re-apply Windows 10 Anniversary Update and all updates since then, re-install all my other applications and go through the re-registration/licensing process for all of them. Which I want to avoid but at present I have a completely useless Tablet PC as a result of using DriverPack.

I want to post ids for two dell laptops which are not at all happy with the Snappy Driver Installer since they shrank the 12.5 gig version mid Jan this year. Both crash out after applying any of the last 3 revisions of DP inside the big version of the tool.

But I don't have the ID tool handy

SchoolProject : DriverPacks

null@example.com (boeleke) — Thu, 25 Feb 2016 09:23:03 +0000

Hi there!
For a schoolproject i'm making an universal image that i can deploy / upload with a fog - server.
Problem is , we got a huge difference in hardware so universal driverpacks are needed.

After the sysprep , windows 10 looks in de windows/inf folder & search for the best drivers.
But i see the last universal driverpacks from this site are for windows 7.

Do you give have any idea how i can find driverpackes what windows can use while installing.

Greetings,
Thanks!

Win 10 ?

null@example.com (botus) — Sun, 27 Dec 2015 21:03:39 +0000

Shouldn't we have a section for Win10?

I wanted to post info on similar issue with vista and win 7 on a dell laptop with HDMI sound playing up and possible bug in SDI.

Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop, running sigmatel sound card. I got the free update to Win10 10240 and used driver packs in Snappy driver installer to update everything post install.
I then had issue getting the 10586 update so used media creation tool to force the install of the November release on Win10 its now on 10586.39 I noticed lots of drivers went back to the Windows default ones.
In the mean time Snappy Driver installer was updated to R423 ( which by the way is now on its 3rd update of the driver packs inside).

Previously SDI was happy to reco lots of new drivers for the Dell 1525. Since release R423 it shows none as recco updates. However if you use the advance features there’s an additional option show "worse" (as in less suitable drivers). It lists all the ones previously available as more suitable but unsigned. Which doesn't appear to be the case. All the ones I've subsequently updated are signed.

Yesterday using the 10586.39 version and stock drivers I tried to stream Amazon prime to a Panasonic TV via HDMI. Just as it had done in Vista and win7 there's no sound. This is because by default the option to use sound, is not ticked for HDMI Audio. The issue here is this is not immediately obvious as the ability to do this is never displayed until the Laptop and TV have undertaken a valid handshake protocol (I guess for HDCP). Once this has happened in Control Panel, Sound options a third device is visible (in my case Panasonic TV) right click and tick “use as default”. It will then auto switch back and forth between onboard sound (without TV being on HDMI port ), once TV is using same HDMI port, sound is switched off on laptop and comes out on the TV.

However there was a lot of snap crackle and pop on the TV audio (via HDMI). On earlier versions of windows I’d got sound to function I believe by going back to an older driver.

Default 10586 Win 10 installed drivers I had:

Intel hidef HDMI ver 6.10.1.2087 dated 14/12/2009
Sigmatel hidef audio codec ver 6.10.0.5866 dated 15/02/2008

Updated Intel to ver 6.10.1.2089 dated 15/03/2010,and rebooted, audio crackle over HDMI was a lot worse, remembering older driver was better on vista I wonder if sigmatel lag in the way they do drivers and so the intel one needs to be older ???
Installed the IDT updated driver for sigmatel to ver 6.10.0.6304 dated 14/10/2010 rebooted and for 5 mins I thought it had fixed it. Then it started to crackle but less than any previous configuration, seemed linked to streaming buffering (but it wasn’t buffering so ???)

So updated all chipset and graphics drivers in case this helped....
Intel graphic 965 from 9.1.9.1002 dated 05/10/12 to 9.1.9.1005 dated 27/7/13, after this and chipset rebooted still crackles.

So its possible for the hardware to work just fine, but at the moment under Win10 I’m not there yet.

All drivers I used are signed, but SDI at install says they aren’t.... it seems to be a fault introduced on R423
