Which windows 10 version to choose

P4-630 · Apr 15, 2016

I'm making an USB windows 10 installation for my old windows 7 laptop.
Which version of windows 10 to use? I have windows 7 home premium on it.

Should I use "windows 10" or "windows 10 Home Single Language" or "windows 10 N"

Thanks!

Select Windows 10 option, then during installation it will ask you if you want Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro.

Well, that sucks, having still the same problem as when I did the upgrade to windows 10 last year,
after the display driver installation, restart , the system just locks up, harddrive stops spinning :banghead:

I thought this problem might be fixed by now, and did a clean install, but NOT!!! :banghead:

I will reinstall windows 7 from the recovery partition and cannot upgrade to windows 10 on this laptop!!
The HDD is fine, no problems whatsoever in windows 7.

I'm done with 10!!

If you want try windows 8.1 with classic shell.
It's worth a shot if you want snappier system.

I have to use the recovery partition on the laptop and that will reinstall windows 7,
I prefer Windows 8.1 but I don't have a spare win8.1 key laying around :mad:

I had the same issue when installing Windows 10. The fix was disconnecting all usb devices. After I did that it installed with no problems.

I had no USB devices connected to the laptop, just for the installation and pulled out after that.
Currently reinstalling windows 7 from the recovery partition.

If i were you, i'd try to download all drivers manually, then install Windows 10 (without internet connection), then install all drivers and disable automatic driver downloads/updates as seen in this picture:

I don't know if/when I try it again.
But thanks for that, I'm back to windows 7 for now.
