u mean my laptop specs?

msi GE60 2pe pro
i7,nvidia gtx860,8gb ram.

usually this is not necessary, but you can try update all drivers in your computer first. check out the support webpage for your laptop and find out if they posted updated bios/drivers.

i'm running local user account, and i have no problem with locking.

thanks for reply.what about the boot up time? it is very damn long compared to windows 8.1 previously

funny seems to be happening to me all the time

not that long

around 5 minutes to boot up to the desktop screen quite fast compared to Vista 10 mins

how long does it take for you that you say is slow?

i'm not sure how you set your computer up, but i think you should check out those system optimization guides online and see if they helped.

weird stuff. maybe you should wait for others to see if they have tips for you, or just go look it up with search engines.

my windows 8.1 , gets everything done in about 1-2mins. what i really meant slow was,from the logo page , to the password typing page, is very slow , the loading circle runs for more than 3 mins jz on that page. that is my concern

More than 3 minutes which means nearer to 5 minutes which means like mine which means just nice

my cousin downgrade to win 8.1 yesterday , but he regret , he want to upgrade to win 10 again , but when he run the iso files , it ask him to enter the product key , what is the product key ? win 8.1 product key?

but still,it is stuck at the loading page damn long, something is not right. the loading circle keeps turning n turning for few mins.

how about these suggestions

- after logging in go find and download ccleaner
then go to this section and the purpose is to help see what is in your STARTUP
that is unnecessary taking time to load - DISABLE as many as you think you don't need



yes there are other ways to check startup entries but I just am suggesting ccleaner
bcos of other features and functions that will help speed up your system

- another thing that may or may not be the culprit is about using or about the
ability of SPINRITE

I cant elaborate lots here but SPINRITE will 'right' your hdd so that read and write
is optimized bcos many a time the waiting circle means high read times for accessing your hdd

high reads means that the files are not only not contiguouss but not written correctly *maybe bcos your hdd is old or you upgraded from an older ver of win to win 10 and hence there are data displacement

the last point also a reminder to REMOVE the old windows if youre not going to revert to your previous OS

saves space and reduce unnecessary hdd head movement for reads

thanks alot for your feedback n help. will try those out . cheers

for 1511 installation, you should be able to use w7/w8.1 key. if it doesn't work, there is small link on the same page that says, 'i don't have a product key'. click on that and you can proceed. you will reach another page that ask for the key somewhere at the end of the installation, skip it too. once the freshly installed os is connected to internet it's activated automatically.

i just did a clean install (skipping all the places that asked for key) after the previous 1511 update.

also I remember that some expert here mention to use local login

are you using local login or email account?

local login should and would log you into your system faster

hence you should wait less for that circle thing

if you are already using local account then maybe this will help a bit more

after logging in RIGHT CLICK the START ICON (right side bottom)
then click COMPUTER MANAGEMENT -- Services and Application - select SERVICES

then disable services which are hogging your resources. lot of services whose startup type are “Automatic” or “Automatic (Delayed Start)“. Some of them can be safely turned to “Manual” or “Disabled”.

then try to read and follow these advice (which is originally for win8 but win10 applicable as well)
http://www.blackviper.com/service-configur...configurations/

if you are still too lazy to do all these then find and download or buy Yamicosoft's Windows 10 manager

http://www.yamicsoft.com/windows10manager/index.html

click here click there it will OPTIMIZE your Win 10 and you wont have to wait 5 mins like me anymore

I just am a poorfag I have the knowledge but no moolah to buy

youre not like me I'm sure

But the problem is he was asked to activate his win8 too, but he enter the product key that he kept, still can't be activated...he then run the windows 10 iso which is released on few months ago, and he was asked for the product key too...how?

w8 or w8.1?

maybe try call ms support for help. first make sure the right version of windows for that product key is installed. at administrative command prompt, type slui 4. select country, then call the toll-free numbers.

This is the only way? 8.1

By right your friend have 2 options. If the previous w10 was activated successfully, and no hardware changes were done, your friend should be able to do a clean install of w10 and get it activated automatically online. MS server should have collected the information about his computer and hence the online activation should be working. I can confirm this one works because i just did a clean install on my computer yesterday and it got activated when it was online. Automatically.

Another one is to revert to old os, and call ms directly for help.

Like i said before, recovery options depend on what you have done to prepare for the worst. The more efforts you put in, the more choices you have. If you don't do it at all, your options are limited.

clean install of win 10 ? what do u mean ? format the whole pc now and run the win 10 iso now ?

it's a suggestion. i don't have a clue how your friend set his computer up, so he should adjust what he should do to his computer accordingly. for instance, he try system reset, then try activate it online. if it failed, he can also format the os partition and related system partitions, and reinstall w10. worst comes to worst, use diskpart > clean to get rid of everything, and do a clean install.

all in all, please at least make a full data backup. if the data drive is a separate disk, just unplug it physically from the computer to avoid potential tragedies, like deleting wrong partitions/drives/etc. during the process.
