Dear all.
Recently, there are many troubles regarding Windows 10 Upgrade.
- The PC cannot work (Windows OS cannot work).
- Network cannot connect.
- Microsoft Office (Word/Excel/PowerPoint) cannot work.
There are various reason, such as the PC is not compatible with Windows 10 or need to install Windows 10 drivers. Before you upgrade to Windows 10, please see the PC manufacturer’s web site. Especially, please keep in mind that the upgrade will be done even if the “OK” button in the upgrade notice dialog wasn’t clicked. In other words, the upgrade will be done if the cancel process (seeing the upgrade notice) isn’t done by the user. This is very confusing process, so many troubles has been occurring.
Windows 10 Upgrade is recommended, but the upgrade schedule adjustment is very important. Therefore, if you don’t want to upgrade to Windows 10 immediately, please block the automatic upgrade schedule setting of Windows 10.
Reactivation of Microsoft Office license
After the PC was upgraded to Windows 10, please check Microsoft Office license (Please refer to Microsoft support page).
In some case, Microsoft Office will require the reactivation of Microsoft Office license after the Office runs at several times (about 30 times). Product Key is needed to reactivate it.
