Hi all,I have 2 separate networks (separate DCs) that I need to be able to securely transfer files to and from, we currently have a Windows FTP set up to allow us to do this, which everyone has access to everyone's folder (as users need to be able to drop.

So I have a 3 unit office where 2 users have no issues but 1 user has issues with VoIP and internet dropping. I need some advice chasing down a network gremlin. Network gremlins haunting me Networking.Please, elaborate on your case - which one is it ? What was the Windows before the HDD failure?

Windows 10 can be installed after that via upgrade from inside Windows (Windows Update OR ISO method).

If the computer originally came with another Windows (not 10) and this was preinstalled Windows (OEM), you will need to get recovery media from HP and use to install the original Windows version/edition.

If this computer originally came with another Windows version (not 10) but was later upgraded to Windows 10 and activation was then successful, it should not be a problem now as Windows was activated using a new method called Windows Digital Entitlement - therefore no more keys for the end user to remember/store > Windows 10 upgrade is free as long as you upgrade from previous Windows version to Windows 10 from inside the operating system. If this computer originally came with another Windows (not 10) and you now installed Windows 10 for a first time, then this is no-go for the activation. Yes, you are correct - computers with WIndows 8/8.1/10 do not have COA stickers but instead their keys are bundled in the machine's BIOS > Thank you for posting in the HP Support forum. After installation, Windows 10 HOME should activate fine using Digital Entitlement if Win 8.1 Home was ok initially. Follow the on-screen instructions, skip entering the key and proceed. However, IF you activated fine post Windows 10 upgrade, you can simply download Win 10 ISO from here:ĭownload the tool, it will download an ISO and burn it on a DVD or write it to a USB pen drive. You want the recovery media for this device, you need to follow the links.

You cannot mix Windows editions (Home is for Home, Pro goes to Pro). You cannot use a recovery media for one HP computer to another one - it simply will not work 99% of the time. I am afraid you cannot just mix DVDs / CDs/ etc - they are for one specific model for the specific Win version/edition. I think these are the recovery CD's, it says they cotain the softwre if that's correct? Can I use these Pro disks on a Home OS? Or would I be better following the links you provided?

I have 2 HP Disks here for Windows 10 Pro for two different HP devices. You can write down the product key and keep it somewhere safe. The Office product key associated with your Microsoft account will appear there. So I take it I'm going with your third option and using the recovery media? Just sign in to Services & subscriptions with your Microsoft account, locate the Office one-time purchase and then click on the View product key link. You write it was 8.1 Home - did you now install Win 10 Home ? You mentioned 10 Pro down. A new window will appear, and it shows your product keys of Windows, Microsoft Office and other software installed on your unbootable computer. If it did, you should be able to activate fine without issues IF you use the very same edition of Windows. Click the Options in the bottom left of the screen, and then choose Find Product Key from the popup menu. Did it actually activate successfully after Win 10 upgrade ? Then, this is the second option mentioned above.

It was then successfully upgraded to Windows 10 at a later date using the free upgrade. It came with Windows 8.1 Home preinstalled as an OEM licance.
