HP Laptop (2005 ish) had vista installed, I slapped win 7 pro 64 on it (forget if upgrade or fresh)
Then I tried win 10 on it.
- IT INSTALLED REALLY QUICK AND EASY-

So then I flattened the drive put win 7 back on and windows update caused me problems. Also the Blue tooth driver wouldnt work. hmmph

tried to win10 upgrade it again online.

2x attempts... hangs at 99% on the install portion. (left it going overnight)

Can't figure out whats the issue. Guess I'll try a fresh install from a iso or something.

This laptop is my 'tv server/storage' HP DV6 pavillion (1134)

1. I know it can work...:banghead:
2. I know it doesnt work....:banghead:

I know it must be me...:angry:

Stay tuned... I have caddies ssd's and 2 laptops and a desktop. hehe and a usb key from toshiba with a win 10 full factory reinstall ...for a toshiba not a HP...lol

might load a driver for my bong compiler. :4-powerup:

10 is not buggy if you have the latest build 1511. There will be a even newer build on August 2nd that should solve any problems you are having. If you updated to Windows 10 and not a clean install and you're running out of space, check to see if you have a folder C:\Windows.old. This has all of your previous version of Windows files on it. You can remove the folder via Disk Cleanup.
Once a week Windows 10 will update a few files, mostly Windows Defender definitions.

This will probably not work as the Toshiba install disk has drivers specifically for a Toshiba Laptop.
Check your SSD and HDD's in your caddies using the manufacturers diagnostic tools.

If it was an upgrade then I'm not sure a free copy of 10 is part of the program. Got to go now so no time to research but want to concur with Spunk that Windows 10 isn't buggy.

Personally I think the upgrade is buggy, not Windows 10 necessarily. We all know they never worked right in the past so why assume the will now?
And I have to warn you using a Toshiba Windows anything key on an HP laptop is in violation of the eula and as a forum we cannot support such behavior anyway so lest keep this thread in legal areas or we will have to close it.
