damole Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I saw this HP G4 laptop for sale in JIB Panthip Chiang Mai yesterday. I asked the sales person to confirm several times about the Windows 10 upgrade, explaining in Thai as far as I knew the offer finished end of July last year and was assured it was still valid. Is it possible for the offer to come with this specific laptop or is the salesperson just misinformed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxpower Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Windows activation servers are to this day allowing some win7 oem upgrades to win10 but there have been a few fails. Ask JIB to do it for you, no 10 no pay. They might tell you to F off. Edited January 18, 2017 by maxpower stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henryford Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I think you are better off keeping W7, W10 is a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damole Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Not to get into a 7 vs 10 discussion but 7 extended support ends in 3 years. I would like to think the friend I am helping choose the laptop for will be able to use it for longer than that. I was looking for the cheapest laptop with an original copy of Windows and this was the best I found. A friend of mine from the UK just recently upgraded his desktop's motherboard, CPU and RAM and his Windows would no longer activate so he bought an OEM Windows 10 from EBay for 5 GBP and said it activated fine. This would give me the option to choose a DOS laptop for my friend and buy the Windows 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfpattaya Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) I recently upgraded an old laptop to Windows 10 recently using the Ease of Access (assistive technology) method (google it). I had no problems at all. Edited January 19, 2017 by elfpattaya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way out is a long drawn out process with customer support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damole Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 My point really was that you could buy a legal Windows 10 for a fiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damole Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 I just upgraded my last Windows 8.1 desktop to 10 successfully so that is also an option now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not the cheapest laptop with Windows 10 by any means - I bought below from there Festival Eastville store here in Bangkok about six months ago and working fine for granddaughter. https://www.jib.co.th/web/index.php/product/readProduct/22562/2/NOTEBOOK-LENOVO-IP100S-14IBR-80R900E5TA NOTEBOOK LENOVO IP100S-14IBR-80R900E5TA (80R900E5TA) รับประกัน 1-Y ราคา 11,990 บาท ส่งฟรี Edited January 21, 2017 by lopburi3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damole Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Thanks for the suggestion. The best I've found now is this HP model. I'm really looking for something with a Core i3 or i5. Interesting that the model you posted doesn't seem to show which CPU it has, something I usually consider quite important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link does identify the CPU...it's a Intel Pentium N3710. The N3710 CPU has enough horsepower for basic computering....it's got about half the horsepower of a lower speed i5 CPU. http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Pentium+N3710+%40+1.60GHz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
