Laptop hacked by scammer :(
by Guest Tinogrrl- 0 replies

Hello, Hoping to get some advice on my mother-in-law's laptop. She fell for a scam and let the scammer take control of her laptop. The lovely fellow then changed the password and I cannot log into the laptop. 1. Any way I can regain control of the laptop? Or would it be worth it to bring to a PC repair place? It's a cheapy laptop that's 8 years old. 2. If I were to regain control would the data on the computer even still be there? Or would it have to be wiped anyways? Appreciate any thoughts on this. She kept some personal information on there that's not backed up elsewhere but not sure it's worth spending the money on unlocking the computer or not. Thanks! …

Hi, I have an Asus laptop that I bought with windows 8 installed on it. I upgraded the windows to 8.1 then 10. Few weeks ago my laptop went on sleep mode, when I restarted it, it gave me an error then it went to auto repair which didn't fix the problem. Then I went to blue screen.

Deleted Windows 8 for Linux Ubuntu, but want it back
by Guest CallumBLe- 0 replies
- 172 views
So, I've hadn't used my computer for a while but with lockdown and all, I decided to boot it up again to play some games. It was still running Windows 8 which came pre-installed with the machine, but it was really buggy, kept needing updates constantly, but every time it did them they would fail and it would take hours to recover every other day. I decided to install Linux Ubuntu instead. I did the install, and overwrote my Windows OS for it. Linux is up and working now but after playing around with it I really don't think it's the right thing for me. I mainly want to use the computer for gaming and LInux isn't the most optimal for that. Is there a way I c…

Windows product key is no longer working
by Guest LynnIsle- 0 replies

I have a required school program that is not able to be run on my primary computer so I am currently trying to upgrade my old ASUS laptop to windows 10 (it is currently running on windows 8). However since I booted it back up windows has been telling me to re-enter my product key. I did some searching and dug up my product key but windows is telling me it is not a valid key. I went ahead and tried to update to windows 10 anyway and entered the key when prompted, but had the same results... The windows installed on this computer is a basic version of windows 8 that came with the laptop when I purchased it. I have no idea why the key would suddenly just stop working like th…

- 178 views
I have read other postings but doesn't seem to help me to activate my Windows 8. I have a HP Pavilion laptop which comes with Windows 8 License but have recently upgraded the HDD and Windows is reinstalled. Now it's asking me to activate my Windows. Have got the product key by initiating a command "wmic path SoftwareLicensingService" and got my product key which I think is in the BIOS. However, using this product key it says "this can't be used to activate this edition of windows" and doesn't allow me to activate my Windows 8. Hope someone could advice better on this and below my Windows info. Current Version : Windows 8 Version 6.3 (Build 9600) Continue reading..…

Reset Windows 8.1 - Now Have an Windows 8 and Cannot Update

I first encountered this problem when trying to previously update my laptop (HP Envy dv4 Notebook PC - Intel i5-3210M CPU, Intel® HD Graphics 4000) which was running Windows 8.1 at the time, however I kept receiving an error code and was unable to update it. I was also unable to run the regedit application for some reason as it stated that it was not made for my version of Windows. I ran the update troubleshoot countless times and tried updating after each try, but it still did not work. I even tried doing a sfc scan and defragging my harddrive (700gb). My last option was to completely wipe my laptop and I first created a installation media on my flash drive using th…

I created a Windows 8.1 bootable installer USB. Booted and opened the install but it asks me for license key. My laptop has a built-in license key and I remember that I was using Windows 8.1. Windows 10 doesn't asks me for a license key. Probably Windows 8 won't ask and I can upgrade to 8.1. But I can't find how to download iso file of Windows 8. Someone send a link or something like that. Continue reading...
