In the continuing adventure of upgrading my wifes's computer I have now gotten it to boot, sort of.
I recently replaced the Motherboard and CPU on my wife's computer as a part of the process of moving towards a Windows 10 upgrade. The old motherboard had an integrated graphics chip that is not supported by Windows 10 so when the free upgrade was going on her upgrade wouldn't work.
Flash forward to today I have a new Asus 970 Aura Gaming Motherboard, an AMD FX-8350 CPU and a computer that gets as far as Startup Repair before telling me that Startup Repair doesn't work and giving me these error details:
Problem Event Name :Startup Repair Offline
Problem Signature 01: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem Signature 02: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem Signature 03: unknown
Problem Signature 04: AutoFailover
Problem Signature 05: 2
Problem Signature 06: Bad Driver
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033
I know the easy solution is to reinstall Windows 7 and start fresh, but I am worried that by doing so we will lose the option to free upgrade to Windows 10. I know the upgrade period is officially over, but we still get the notification to upgrade, and could still run the upgrade process until it hit the unsupported integrated video card driver issue the other MoBo had.
I hope this makes sense to someone out there, and if I have to reinstall windows I hope there's a method I can use that won't require reformatting, if only to save the time of dealing with backups.
Thank you
