Warning when upgrading from O.S.7 Hardware Destroyer

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

The Free windows update that I paid over 116.00 dollars for destroyed my PC. I had a super machine that was totally upgrade-able. I had a Quad 4- i7 processor and 12 gb of ram on MOBO which can be upgraded to 32 GB of Ram and 2 drives and a recovery. I tried twice to install a 'Clean Install" but it stopped twice during the process. I must admit I got Microsoft on the phone pretty quick , so we tried for another hour or two but to no Prevail . I was told to take my desk top pc to my local store located in Mid-Town Manhattan and they told me I had a hardware failure ? I said the machine was fine until I put your rotten Win 10 disk in my PC. I was told by their tech specialist that my MOBO blew up ! I said what ! How can that be !? The machine ran like a fine Swiss watch on Win 7 pro.. I was told that the machine must now go out for further Diagnosis on hardware and how much it is going to cost me !!!! So far 116 and change for Win 10 O.S. from Amazon plus 50 dollars to ship my PC from Microsoft out for more complex testing facility, which can take up to 4 weeks and cost me over 600 dollars!!!?? I told the Microsoft Rep that your OS 10 is destroying perfectly good machines. This Desktop cost me 1500 plus!! All you have to do is google " Win 10 Destroyed my motherboard and the case is closed. There are countless lawsuits pending class action just do a search.. I will follow up with this store and my comment about my Microsoft experience when they call me with the results. I told them I have 2 more Win 7 pro machines that must be upgraded but how can I trust Microsoft!!?? After over 20 yrs of windows and at least 6 different O.S's and at least 15 different machines ...Countless crashes Windows Vista and Millennium .... I AM READY TO JUMP THE FENCE AND RUN TO APPLE. HEED MY WARNING!

UPDATE!!!!

I RECEIVED A CALL FROM MY LOCAL MICROSOFT STORE WHICH SENT OUT MY CUSTOM -HP PAVILION HPE FOR FURTHER TESTING. AFTER 3 WEEKS I RECEIVE A CALL FROM THE TECH DEPT AND THEY SAID "BIOS' AS SOON AS I HEARD THAT WORD, I KNEW THIS IS A PROBLEM WAS BETWEEN MICROSOFT AND THE PC MANUFACTURE. THIS IS NOT A CUSTOMER ISSUER. THE STAFF WAS GREAT IN MID-TOWN MANHATTAN AND WERE POLITE AFTER A DEBATE THAT I WON AFTER WORKING ON WINDOWS FOR ALMOST 20 YRS AND 6 OS's . I TOLD THEM THANK YOU AND THEY TOLD ME BRING MY OTHER 2 WIN7 PRO MACHINES IN AND WE WILL UPGRADE THEM FOR FREE. i WILL TRY TO INCLUDED THE WORK ORDER..

SERVICE
Scope of Work: Resolution & Work Completed:
Customer attempted to install windows 10 and it
failed.
Perform Hardware Diagnostics
No data back up**
Clean install of windows 10.
Windows 10 disc still inside**
Reset CMOS and got unit to boot, installed Win10,
updated BIOS and all drivers, device passed diagnostics
and functions testing, sending to final QC
It is so nice that Microsoft took full responsibility and I changed my mind 180 degrees about the company, still cautious but optimistic until my other 2 machines are running right on the new OS which will be installed right before OS 7 becomes not supported..THANK YOU AGAIN MID-TOWN MANHATTAN

Windows 7 was better

While I have no stability or compatible issues I much prefer the navigation and menus in Windows 7. But no one hardly supports it anymore so you are almost required to use Windows 10.

I bought this due to windows being the only OS that can run all my PC games. Windows 10 is ok, but still better than 11. Window can take a long walk on a short bridge.

Great OS overall. Easy and fast to install. Doesn't require much space at all.

For under $100 you get an official copy of Windows 10 Home with a genuine license key from Microsoft. Once it has installed on to your computer, you can then active it online so you can experience everything that Windows 10 Home has to offer. I was somewhat skeptical at first, because I didn't know what I was going to be receiving upon spending $93 on something I wasn't entirely sure that was going to work. Anyhow for those who are curious to know, you do get an official copy of Windows 10 Home on a CD/DVD ROM disc. The paperboard encased envelope that it comes in, please be careful to not throw either of the two away...here's why!? On the front of the paperboard, where the physical copy of the Windows 10 Home disc comes in. Well on the front of that one, there's a scratch off section where you recover your Windows 10 Home license key after scratching off and removing the silver coating much like a lottery scratch ticket.

Also please make sure to be careful, and scratch very...very lightly while scratching off the scratch ticket like silver coating to reveal your Windows 10 Home license key. So you're all aware, if you scratch too hard like some others have mentioned in previous reviews on here. Then you might end up, scratching too deep where you'll end up removing the actual paperboard underneath which will damage the license key that's printed on removing it completely. I personally myself didn't have any issues whatsoever while scratching away to reveal my Windows 10 Home license key...but just be careful ok!? Once everything was installed, I entered my license key while having access to the internet and my Windows 10 Home was fully activated on my computer. I kinda have to say, that Windows 10 Home in my opinion is a big improvement and a step-up compared to Windows 8.1 Pro. Personally I never liked or really cared for Windows 8.1 Pro at all. Now with Windows 10 Home bringing back the start menu like Windows 7 had, it definitely makes things feel a lot easier to navigate and find things within your own computer. Windows 7 Ultimate is by far one of my favorite version from Microsoft of all time...hands down!

Also because of my computer running the latest technology. Such as Intel's 7th Gen Kaby Lake processor with a B250M motherboard chipset. My system in general only supports Windows 8 and Windows 10 versions of Microsoft's OS. So another thing to keep in consideration is. Make sure your motherboard's BIOS can support Windows 10 because like my computer, it can't support anything lower than Windows 8.

Kind regards,
-Ryan

It does what it's supposed to do, I suppose?

Reviewed in Canada on March 2, 2021

Verified Purchase

I'm not a fan of Windows 10, but also need it to be able to run the games I want to, so I need to have it. Ordering the correct Windows package isn't made easy, and takes a bit of reading into to realize that only businesses or similar need more than the cheapest package.
It's not like there are other good options for OS' and it reflects in the price.
It does what it's supposed to, but I don't really like how expensive it is with no other choices. Every comp needs it, but at least with the other parts your computer needs, you have a lot of other options.

Windows 10 Home for New Builds

Reviewed in Canada on June 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

EDIT: At time of purchase this product was only $65, it is now $154. The cheap price is why I bought it. But I will simply explain what Windows 10 Home System Builder is for those who do not know. So if the price goes lower than the regular Windows 10 Home license I recommend this option instead for new system builders.

So you’re building your first PC and you are nervous about buying a cheap Windows 10 license somewhere online and downloading it to a disc or USB stick. So you go check on Amazon and Windows 10 Home costs you $125!?!? But what’s this? Windows 10 Home System Builder? For only $65? Seems like a great option. But I know what you are all thinking, if it’s cheaper how is it the same as the regular Windows 10? Surely it’s not the same?

Well to start off, yes, it is the same as the $125 Windows 10 license you buy. The difference being that Windows 10 System Builder is precisely what it’s called; it’s for first time builds that have no operating system installed to it. Which is very common in today’s market where many people are building their own gaming or work rigs. So where as the Windows 10 license can be installed to a system that just need’s an upgrade to Windows 10, with System Builder that cannot be done. It is for fresh builds only, and is the same version of Windows that computer manufacturers use to install to prebuilt laptops, desktops etc. Also the System Builder license will be locked to your motherboard meaning it cannot be transferred from one system to another. Unless you contact Microsoft and they make an exception for you. It also is not eligible for free upgrades to the latest versions of Windows, you still get Windows 10 updates though.

So for people building their own PC this option is the better choice. You just will need to have a CD reader handy as this is sold by disc only. Install is very easy, and if you are having trouble head to YouTube, there are many easy and helpful tutorial videos available on there.

I decided to base this review on the System Builder install instead of the overall Windows 10 Home experience, which for the most part I really like anyways. But for a cheaper option for getting Windows 10 Home I highly recommend this product.

Is your hair falling out? Well then why not PULL IT OUT!

Reviewed in Canada on January 17, 2017

Works, but the only difference I could see between this and the standard version of Windows (other than the price) was the lack of Microsoft support. There is one other glaring difference - lack of driver support. Had a ton of drivers to install manually. Was not used to that at all. On Linux, you can just install the OS, and then everything just works. Haven't fiddled around with drivers like this since Windows XP. Other than that, Windows 10 is a terrible operating system. It will just take up the network with updates, and it will sit there for a LONG time installing them and doing god-knows-what in the background. This is the worst OS I've ever had to use. I thought Vista was bad... holy hell. Only reason I'm not rating it lower is because I kinda suspected all this at the outset, but my son just had to have a gaming computer and wanted to play all the games. If you absolutely have to use 10, then I guess that's what you have to do... but I personally would rather superglue my eyes shut.

COUNTERFEIT. ACTIVATION FAILS. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND.

Reviewed in Canada on February 3, 2021

Verified Purchase

That W10 key was accepted during install but activation failed and Microsoft agent morons took 5 hours of my life thru 11 different calls, most of them I would just be put on hold for half an hour and then they simply HUNG UP. The 11th agent was beginning suspecting this key after all sorts of tests, remote control in the computer, key resets thru command line and all sorts of nonsense and told me (STILL WITH DOUBTS) that this could be a counterfeit product and that this key would just not work, to go to MS website and buy an genuine key. I've pretty much wasted an entire day on this. Thank you. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to hang themselves.
