Ok i found that there is message at the bottom: Your files, apps and settings cant be kept because you are installing an edition of Windows that is different than the one youre currently using. Problem is that i dont understand why, what is so special on my edition? I have WIndows 7 SP1 64 bit activated, updated.. i had PRO edition, use Anywhere update to push it to Ultimate edition, but i still see this message. I dont think that problem is language version, because we i use difference language edition message is different and post to language. I used WIndows 10 media creation tool, which i hoped would be clever enough to created the right version to upgrade, i also tried to donwload some WIndows 10 iso files from the internet, or MS side by using Blueberry client trick but i still have this problem I there any tool to get more info about installed OS version than Winver, or why its not compatible? Update: I found out that strictly PRO iso 1607 is working, but not newer.. some universal iso or consumer iso, simply does not working.

Hi, i a bit confused what is exactly kmdf 1.15, are they ready to work with Windows 7, or its work in the progress?

Hi, im trying to upgrade upgrade Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on my laptop on GPT disk, but even i run installer upgrade option with keeping installed programs is not available, only keep files,. Im running upgrade from running OS. I read that problem could be with languages, i checked registry there is InstallLanguage key - 0409 - which should be US english, so i tried US english and Internal English ISO, no luck. There is also some key cooled previousInstalled language which has value 0405 (czech), im not really sure if originaly installed OS in Czech, or it was upgraded from Czech Vista, I have tried to change value from 0405 to 0409, but no luck.. So i tired Czech Windows 10 ISO again no luck. Maybe i need to delete that Previous install key. I also installed other WIndows 7 OS on same disk which i want to keep and clean Windows 10, they also Linux partition and some Dell support parttions - backup, i hope that are not conflicts.

Hi, im looking for Windows 2000 driver for Intel 82579LM Gigabit . I have found Blackwing cat drivers, but not made them working.. http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/1881426.html Drivers installs fine, but there is code 31 - This device is not working properly Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. unable to initialize device, in other OSes its working fine.

Hi, i slowly trying to get away from 1 Gbit networking, becuase it was too long from 1 Gbit age and 100-120 MB/s transfer speed is slower than speed of modern SSDs, even moder HDD can do 200-250 MB/s 6 /8 TB or bigger probably even more. So i bough some cheap 5 Gbit card with Realtek chip - RTL8126 , i expected problems - no existing drivers with Window XP, but i was suprised that i cant find even Windows 7 driver, especially 32 bit. I downloded drivers, from realtek site https://www.realtek.com/Download/List?cate_id=584 thre are listed XP / Win 7 / Win 10 / Win 11 drivers, but when you actually check inf files for Windows 7 there is max 2.5 Gbit chip listed - RTL8125, i have tried to install to install 2.5 Gbit driver in WIndows 7 but driver its installed without exclamation mark in Device manager, but NIC is unable to negotiate network connection. So question are there such official or unofficial drivers? Yes i how there cards with Intel Chip (520/540) - even 10 Gbit, but they need long PCI-E slots.. I did not tried to place them to short slot, maybe they will work there at slower speed.. they are PCI-E v2 - if im not wrong.. so 512 MB/s max, yeah that is still better than 120 MB/s.

I found out that there is problem with MS-Dart 10, i believe its update installer, it always report that some update was uninstalled, but when i run it again all updates are still there I tried DIsm++ from boot cd, but it fails for uinstalling too and it claim that some updates are not removable Ok i found out how to enable to uninstalling through DISM++ and Dart, there some SessionsPending values in Registry: https://varidan.com.au/how-to-fix-the-dreaded-windows-error-0x800f082f/ But only some update, these marked as permanent in DISM++ still is not possible to remove, when DART priniting that they were sucessfully removed

I wonder is there any tool, which can check and fix Windows 10 registry for not booting installation? Same about component store, if im not wrong dism and sfc, are doing it, their finish fine - no error or errors fixed, but i still get stuck on boot 21a bluescreen. There is also quite a lot of dism tool, but not have enough knowledge which one could help with this booting problem.

As i wrote i was using 3 TB+ Unlocker from Gigabyte and it worked with GPT non system disk 4 TB + Paragon driver on Marwell controller.. Asus and MSI had problem some 2 TB unlockers too, especially Asus, because Asrock is here lower cost sub company..

Ok i did some fiddling with Recovery partition and all recovery bcd and got some new error, after trying automatic Starup repair. at tthe end of SrtTrail.txt is this text: Root cause found: --------------------------- A recently serviced boot binary is corrupt. Repair action: Uninstall latest LCU // LCU= Latest Cumulative Update, problem that i needed saw LCU is name of update so im not sure how to identify them Result: Failed. Error code = 0x82f // 0x800f082f It should means file not found and problem with Component Store. Time taken = 4735 ms

I managed strip services and drivers to bare minimum MS services only and some disabled. To do it i used services and drivers disable tool, but some them you hit inaccesibility boot device errors or security error. To bypass them you have check which service is based on which, disable them piece by piece, its really working in only in virtual machines, with snapshops and quick rewind, or you have to do registry backup and keep notes about all changes and return them, when you hit to booting spate. Inaccessible boot device error you mostly are caused by Upperfilters in WIndows registry where is list of *.sys files filename without sys suffix.. so you have to search for it and remove filters before you disable the drivers and these drivers most have classId for DIsk device or most often Volume, some filters are part of WIndows.. Especially a lot of filters have EaseUS tools, a bit less Acronis, Minitool and Paragon - for example their HFS and AFS are based on filters too. My machine is still not booting the same error, so problem is not some driver or 3rd party app service, but something else in the system. I also fixed all errors related to last Event log, i disabled all removal services and disabled their drivers. https://www.lifewire.com/device-class-guids-for-most-common-types-of-hardware-2619208 What is left, there are some Panther logs from day where it stopped botting, i did make upgrade, but some updates using upgrade like procedure / system. In Panther logs, i see that there is some errors about recovery envriroment, i they really make much sense, i have dedicate recovery partition, but there is also C:\Recovery where is multiple sub directories with some Ids and one OEM, what is interesting that *.win files have only like 150 MB, my standard recovery wim on dedicated partition have 400 MB+, so its possible that because on enough space on the system it somehow failed, and it could happen even before this update and this update expected not broken *.wim. Its just theory, question is really if broken recovery could cause boot error 0x000021a, so far my boot always start normally, autorecovery after multiple boot fails is disabled.. which i dont mind, when i start it manually and start automatic repair it fails with message related to recovery too. I did it before and fixed disk structure, partition flags and recovery entry in bcds, but i will try once more fiddle with recovery settings there is some xml beside of BCD, too find out if its related to this error, otherwise its some broken system file - but sfc and dism should fixed them, there are fine. Or its related to registry, i removed all broken registry keys, but its still the same.. i know removing is not fixing, but there wasnt something import broken, just trash after some failed uninstalls and portable programs.

Well you can use TPM header for connection of ISA devices through ISA slot header to make modern PC able to use old soundcards for DOS, because all modern chipsets does not support needed DMA calls for PCI/ISA soundcards, or not even have such slots except few spencial boards, which still cannnot process these calls, but you can use ISA / PCI slot for other peaceful purposes. So its powerful interface. but last time when i checked it, 3 people on whole planet where able to do it, because it needs some additional signals / cables soldered to mainboard.. and Otherwise it my not broken Windows 10 through dart, there is access to Event logs too.. There some errors directly before last reboot, when all stopped working. Application events: There is something in Windowslogs->Application source is VSS, my guess that is just something complains about not running services during shutdown process, when processes are killed. There is some Sunshine.exe gaming streaming error, i will disable that service, but not expect that is the killer. // I set service startup to 4 - disabled, no change What is more interesting some Microsoft->Windows->Capi2 error, i have to check what it is.. Error is: The description event ID 513 from source Microsoft->Windows->Capi2 cannot be found. Either the component that raises this even is not installed on your local computer or installation is corrupt. Install or repair the component on the local computer.. CAPI is = Cryptographic Application Programming Interface second gen - It details is Unable to backu up image of binary pwdrvio . The system cannout find the file specified. Question if this could cause 21a boot problem - its related to Minitool partition manager or Paragon partition manager.. // I set service startup to 4 - disabled, no changI will add Event system - errors later. System events: Acronis problem - Minute before shudown messages in Event-Application, there was a lot of these errors, over 5 minutes after shutdown was executed by User32. error, Source Microsoft-Windows-DistributedCom - The server {id..} did not register with DCOM with the required timeout. When i searched registry for ID - i found in Apps, only this key under this object TIManagersProxy class Application. https://superuser.com/questions/1106927/what-process-is-running-with-processid1ef75f33-893b-4e8f-9655-c3d602ba4897-vi - this points to Acronis stuff, its know bloatware.. // If i disabled these ones, i got inaccesible boot device error, after enabling them, again 21a error.. So even these virtual devices could cause it.. those are probably some ugly filters, which are sometimes added on some other devices.. and even when you disable all acronis drivers and services, there are still called form somewhere.. I had once problem to remove some Nvidia virtual network device back in WinXP and it managed to some filter too, it was really hard to find out how to remove it and keep machine bootable. Secure boot - Error is The Secure boot update failed to update a Secure boot variable with error Secure Boot is not enable on this machine. // Well i would expect that this would be just Warning not Error, because if had secure boot disabled in BIOS, unless somewhere on the way it become mandatory.. I debugging it in Virtual machine without added TPM device, but i was some no physical with enable and disabled TPM.. no tried to enable Secure boot, i had it disabled because MacOS and Linux. Vmware workstation seems to failing there, it need encrypt machine enable TPM, when i go to encrypt dialog there are 2 options encrypt all files and only the files needs for TPM, and are just nvram and some mem files, but when i select it, i getting message that it needs 300 GB for whole virtual disk encryption.. // Hmm, i maybe now the reason im using vhd and vmware probably needs vmdk for encryption.. Otherwise i was trying to recute Sysprep from live Win10 PE disk, i managed to execute its gui by copping files and dlls from normal installation, but after some processing it failed and im not even sure if it tried to Sysprep offline install or WinPE one.. Log was on offline install - in C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\Panther , if need 2 dlls to execute for normal install copy to WinPE system32.. and after it failed on some wet*api.dll, but it run for quite a long.. From classic repain cmd sysprep through cmd outputs nothing.. Regading of Minitool guide for everything - https://www.minitool.com/data-recovery/fix-fatal-system-error-windows.html they claim this - Too many invalid and bad registry keys are found. I have no registry backups, autogenerated - they disappered during failed system restoring... and question is how to check if registry are ok, files are there..

Hmm, its almost impossible to get all with right version, unless Microsoft would release tool to make such installation / repair image. TPM, its fine in Windows 10, its not required, problem is just not logging part of starting process and provide some better error numbers and messages. TPM it be somehow able to recognize spyware, or maybe avoid it to flash bios. If would be very suspicious i would say that maybe US government asked for it, because we already have zero knowledge about what it is doing same as Managed engine, which is some small Linux running on baremetal which could do anything.. Im unsure if AMD has something as it also, but good on AMD is they have some company line of their cpus with advanced security.

Well, all this would be ok.. if they would not removed option to refresh system files and keep system setting from boot installer. I experimented a bit more, but through drivers disabling if i dont get this error, i get 2 errors which probably happens before this one: 1) Inaccesible boot device - which is normal and fixable in previous Windows but im not able to fix it there, i have tried all Vmware storage options - IDE / SCSI/ SATA / NVME but its not enough. Fixing bcd files is not enough and Paragon P2V adjust or P2P adjust too. Im not sure if this error is related only to boot storage drivers, or its reported if any system driver is has boot problem, again nothing logged and only way is kernel debugger through serial port and second PC, not thing for standard user, its more for hardware drivers creators. 2) Boot freeze, infinite cog animation and safe mode freeze without cog, maybe again its happening before original error, again no ntbootlog.. I have found that Vmware convertor has nice drivers / service enable and disable option and probably it has some HW registry fix to boot in virtual, unfortunately its failing with my virtual disk image, there again some unhandled situation and Vmware convertor is picky and works only for typical scenarios (im getting typical disk geometry related pseudo errors like Unable to find system volume, or VSS snapshots cannot be stored because is not enough space on source volumes, or they are not NFTS, well of course EFI is FAT32 and there is lots of space.. ). Some as Acronis Trueimage 2021 universal restore, its refuse to recognize by Windows install, even when all other tools like Lazesoft recovery, dart, DISM managers etc, are fine with it. I also tried to run redetection of new HW during boot, as Windows to go are doing for offline installation, through boot dvd and sysprep, but i failed too, its not started, im not sure if could be made for offline installation in theory it could, but did not find right tutorial for it. It seems that only way to debug would be that TPM log parser, but even that is not provided as standard package for advanced users. This seems as typical result of excessive security, same as"National" security parallel virus in USA government. They would claim that make boot process logging as something helping hackers, but i as standard users really value usability over security and like to have options to use security / usability trade offs.. Especially when hackers are always 1 step ahead from security guys and is virus / spyware is "properly" done execute 1 wrong file and use network tool with 1 unfixed security hole with its communication protocol, its enough to get it anyway.

Hmm, it have tried to remove drivers and services, but only end up with inaccessible boot device, its strange because its 1 partition MBR install, i have tried all bcd fixes, but its still there.. Im not even sure, if this error happens before or after 0xc00021a.. and again not ntbootlog, it really seems that starting Windows 10 procedure is rotten by design.. once its broke, there is very hard to debug it.

I have gave up on my main machine for now and restored old backup.. and moved experimenting into Vmware virtual machine, here i connected this machine as MBR disk, its not UEFI / TPM machine, its single partition install, but its failing exactly the same way Only difference is that on such simple setup, automatic start up repair worked right away, i mean that Windows bootloader started, without fidling with bcd files.. and still not ntbtlog.. so its something really ugly, i have tried to run lots of live antivirus and antimalware stuff, it ran for ages, because i have like like 6 millions of files on my disk.. i got some malware / adware reports, but i found say false possitives, because other tools not reported them.. I disabled them anyway, no change. I also found out that i could enable / disable drivers through dism+ .. but without any clue is really hard to find out the root of this problem.. and it seems to be same for a lot of people which encountered it.. I wonder there is msconfig mode to enable MS services Only, im not sure if different from safe mode, but i there wonder some way how to set it on.. i found try it.. i can probably disable services / drivers one by one, its problematic..
