You can slipstream IE10 into your Win7 media.

First make sure you’ve already integrated four prerequisite hotfixes: KB2533623, KB2670838, KB2729094, and KB2731771.

Then download and extract the IE10 offline media. The command would be something like IE10-Windows6.1-x64-en-us.exe /x:C:\ie10.

In the extracted folder, delete IE_SUPPORT_amd64_en-US.CAB because it breaks the installation media. Then point dism at the folder and let it install IE-Win7.cab, IE-Hyphenation-NEU.MSU and IE-Spelling-NEU.MSU.

Now IE10 is installed. You might need to update your autounattend.xml file.

Hi, so I’ve had this problem with my sound driver keeping my computer awake – so I used the Powercfg -REWUESTSOVERRIDE to disable it, but now it goes to sleep while playing video. Is there any way to disable the -REQUESTSOVERRIDE?

this happened when I unplugged the external while it was still thinking or being used I guess. I also tried to use the recovery key but it is saying that I am inputting the wrong key.

Unfortunately, I do not. It sounds like something is preventing your external from being written to, but I don’t know what would cause that (perhaps the external is failing?)

Hi whenever i put my password for my external (bit locked), i get this error, “bit locker drive encryption failed to recover from an abruptly terminated conversion. This could be due to either all conversion logs being corrupted or the media being write-protected”. any ideas how to fix this? i can’t do anything with my external.

Comment on Windows 7 is Missing NETDOM.EXE by Jason Harper

Thanks iBoyd! This exactly what I been looking for. I love using netdom and since we migrated to Windows 7 I was lost without it. I need to learn PowerShell commands, but netdom is to easy to use!
