psyko666 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Question: Anybody think it´s possible to buy the upgrade from cracked windows 7 to Win8 pro ... will this work ? (Windows is genuine with microsofts genuine check) Answer: Yes it works! Try it yourself! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calguyhunk Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I'll buy this thing for $10 I swear. (Rs. 500) Not a dime more :P And I want the DVD! ('as is where is' basis - without support) :yes: EDIT: It's available online in India from today onwards for Rs 1999, which is around 38 dollars or so ;) Wayyy too expensive, I say - considering that hardware prices here are 50% higher than the US across product segments :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted October 26, 2012 Administrator Share Posted October 26, 2012 I guess lots of people already have done it when RTM released. Don't see anyone complaining yet.@calguyhunk: I think the upgrade is priced at Rs. 500 or 599? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calguyhunk Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 @calguyhunk: I think the upgrade is priced at Rs. 500 or 599? Rs 699/- for an upgrade if you buy a PC with pre-installed Win7 between now and Jan, I guess. That's the $14.99 offer in the US. But for you and I, who are not looking to buy any new PC, the minimum is 1999/- ($39.99 offer) That too for a D/L. With media, that's Rs. 3499/- ;) Pretty safe to say, that like always, we're all gonna pass. Collectively, as a nation :hehe: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted October 26, 2012 Administrator Share Posted October 26, 2012 I see. Pretty safe to say, that like always, we're all gonna pass. Collectively, as a nation :hehe: I'm strongly considering Windows 8. And not even dual-boot. A total "upgrade". I am very hesitant to say the least, cause Metro is not the only thing changed. After removing metro, my problem is acceptance, not adaptation. Trying it in VM and I was lost because of metro. I couldn't live a day with it. This, plus how well the upgrade will go causes hesitancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me m8, Dont try and evaulate it within a VM as you wont be forced to adapt. At first I tried it in a VM in the Dev and Consumer preview and because I wasnt forced to adapt I just didnt care and swicthed off. Once I tried on on physical hardware (after imaging then upgrading Win7) I forced myself to give it a go and really got used to it. If you cant stand the start screen as you know you can use alternatives. Honest bud, Just give it a go ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why I'm rushing is, my Windows 7 is messed up, with me exhausting all the visible solutions. So it's either Upgrage from Windows 7 to Windows 7 (reinstall), or Windows 7 to Windows 8. And by no means I want to do a clean install to loose all the data (softwares). Ah well, I'll need to pick the right date and muhurat for it. :P Plus confirming the Start8 fixes. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During filling up the form I just selected a random purchase date after June 1 and got an email with the promo code !! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that doesn't work, then if you have the full unedited iso, you can always use the "Repair your PC" option instead of the "Clean Install" option and see how that goes ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted October 27, 2012 Administrator Share Posted October 27, 2012 That ultimately leads to this. Which can be done even without any disks using F8 during boot and selecting Repair Your Computer. And yea, I tried the F8 thing, no success. The mess happened when I was unwell two-three months ago and the computer wasn't shutdown for two days (rare thing). During that time, I ran and stopped LibreOffice installer and probably, though not sure, installed new version of CCleaner. But these two may not be likely cause. Then I remembered I installed newly released Dot Net Framework 4.5. The issue is, as soon as I start an application and it tries to connect the internet, the software stops working. With error file being fastprox.dll. The first thing I did was to check it's integrity, and SFC said the file is fine. So I Googled about it, after days of trying, no solution worked for me. Then tried SFC /Scannow, and there was another problem, SFC used to stuck at 8% no matter what I tried (checkdisk, etc). The effected softwares were notably Windows Live Messenger and Steam. So what I did, I found a good solution via Google, it was, renaming the fastprox.dll file to something else. And sure that did the trick, I was able to bypass one of the most important system files. The happiness was little short-lived, as renaming fastprox.dll had it's consequence. PerfectDisk cannot monitor the HDD's SMART data and other things anymore, gives error everytime I start. MS SQL Server doesn't work, a thing required to use VAMT, a tool used to check MS key validity and stuff. Then I came to know that the error might be in connection with WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation), I know I'm in deep shit by now. I searched on MS site and found there was a CMD tool from MS to check WMI integrity, with requires fastprox.dll to be intact. It found many problems, notably 0x80041002 - (WBEM_E_NOT_FOUND) Object cannot be found. I checked again, and yet again, no solution, I tried different fixes that on my day, would definately fix the error above, but it didn't. Then went back to diagnose SFC's stopping 8%. After searching logs, I found that it stops exactly at "winload.exe.mui" and "winresume.exe.mui". I felt that it might be in relation with Daz, but I didn't wanted to risk to get unactivated by uninstalling Daz and seeing if it worked. By now, after experiencing some weird stuff and doing things that I have no clue about, I've given up. With fastprox.dll renamed, I'm running the softwares I want, and system missing one of it's important part to do it's important stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calguyhunk Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I think you need to go back to .Net 4.0. Not all software are written for 4.5 as yet, methinks :dunno: But whatever it is, it sure sounds like one seriously messed up installation ;)As for the loader, the moment Windows de-activates, you get back your 30 day trial. So you're still legit and your programs don't deactivate.You then just need to re-install Daz. That's it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way 4.5 is 4.0 compatible afaik. What I also forgot to mention was that at startup, both Comodo FW and cFosSpeed give an error. That's right, right now, both Comodo and cFosSpeed are working, but have no control on the system whatsoever. Same was with MSE, one of the reason I uninstalled it, and installed Avast free - atleast some protection. Also, I did make sure no malware is doing so. Last time I tried uninstalling Daz, after reboot, Windows said that my 30 days trial has expired. And thinking about it, I'm living like this from 3 months already.

unknownasphyxiated Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 With error file being fastprox.dll.this certainly going offtopic but try this Windows Repair try "Repair WMI" you can try replace fastprox.dll with the one from ISO/installation media comparing both in my system32/wbem with the one from ISO is same, x86 dunno if x64 is different but make sure you copy from SP1 media if already install SP1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't fix it. As I said, I checked fastprox.dll's integrity from SFC, which works in a same way as comparing it with the ISO. Unfortunately, I'm not having the ISO itself, but wouldn't make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calguyhunk Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hi vissha, the OEM key will have to tally with the one that the loader has installed. Start up the loader and under the "installation" tab, you'll find the OEM key. Use that ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
