I have so many things happening that could fall into one of the categories, i thought this may be a good place to start:
1. Laptop #1 - purchased about 3 years ago, eligible for Windows 10 upgrade , but not upgraded
2. Laptop #2 - purchased 3 months ago from acquaintance at garage sale, 4 year old Lenovo ThinkPad 64 bit Window 7 Pro - ran okay but for backup, fine
3. Laptop #1 malfunctioned, moved backup to use and began having problems (almost concurrently, both laptops down)
4. Took to shop for diagnosis. Laptop#1 needs motherboard replaced; laptop #2 OS corrupted. Given Windows 10 Pro disk. Installed but had no drivers. With no drivers unable to access internet. Took back and shop installed.
5 Worked beautiful about 2 days. First notice uber sensitive touchpad; tried adjusting but made worse; reinstalled driver, no improvement
6.Things worsened. Internet terrible but offline, things awful too. Was going to reinstall Windows but afraid i would lose drivers. Saw reset option and was going to utilize but it says apps will be deleted and in list provided showing what is going to be deletee, drivers appear
7. Noticed that Windows not activated. Unable to activate cannot locate product ID, says prior Windows not activated. I brought used. Never had problem with #2 - never stated Windows not activated
8. Tried posting on this site but after typing 3-4 lines, would either delete or say posted. Have to use android to post.
Is there any help for me? Is not having active Windows cause of problems? . How do i not lose drivers? I could download off the internet but I'll not have
