Very well done, man. Old PC and I went through every other Athlon x64 fix - ripping apart the PC down to the MoBo and back up again - for almost half a day, solid! Finishing up this rebuild for an old Lady that merely needs a ‘net machine and you’ve kept this out of the junk heap of tomorrow’s world. Thank you.

@@UltimateDIY Brother I need one more help, if you can. I am trying to fix my old laptop by re-installing the OS Windows 7. However, my 6 years old genuine product key is not recognized by MS while activating and it is saying invalid key! Do you know by any chance how can I activate Win 7 without a product key? Many thanks again!

[@UltimateDIY]

@@viskyranjan maybe you installed the wrong Win version. The key is either for Home, Pro or Ultimate or what W7 versions were at that time.

What is the average time for "completing installation" section to complete ? I mean how do we know either we stuck on that section or actually it's running?

[@TechnologyEverythingJohn]

If you have a hard disk light maybe you can actually see if there is any activity. I am installing on an AMD Athlon XP, very trash-y PC for today's requirements. It has an HDD light and maybe if it stops blinking or staying on and, say 10 minutes after it stops, there is nothing happening, you can do it. Just my guess, not really into editing the registry.

[@UltimateDIY]

Yes, a hdd light is gold, but sadly most modern laptops don't have one anymore. We need to check in task manager and see if the hdd is busy or not.

[@J22-m1q]
