    Win10 preview build upgraded to RTM? Still need to 'upgrade'??

    At this point, is there any benefit to being in the insider program? Have never been a fan of windows... but I'm actually liking win10. :)

    Win10 preview build upgraded to RTM? Still need to 'upgrade'??

    Yes, I am signed in as an insider... If I need to go thru the normal upgrade, that's not a problem.. Next time I do a wipe and clean install I'll just install Win7 first.. Just was curious if that is still needed or if I can just start with a clean win10 install.

    Win10 preview build upgraded to RTM? Still need to 'upgrade'??

    I did a clean install of the Win10 preview around the 11th of July.. which I assume is currently a full, RTM version. It says it's activated... Since it was a clean install, I never entered any product code from my win7 disc. From what I understand, once your system is validated, you no...

    Win10 install - hard drive is partitioned wrong and I can't change it

    Alright... I got everything going. Installed Win10 on my SSD, converted the 4TB to GPT and now I can see the entire thing. Now I gotta copy copy copy.. lol

    Win10 install - hard drive is partitioned wrong and I can't change it

    I never install with more then one drive connected. I've never had any problems with picking the wrong drive and screwing up, but just to play it safe.. started doing it that way eons ago and will probably always do it that way. :) It would only take one mistake without a good backup and I'd...

    Win10 install - hard drive is partitioned wrong and I can't change it

    Thanks for the info. I do have a Samsung 840 Pro that I use for booting. The new 4TB drive is for data. But what I normally do is install the OS onto whatever new drive I get... Copy my old drive files onto the new drive, then reformat the boot drive and install the OS onto it. I'm sure there...

    Win10 install - hard drive is partitioned wrong and I can't change it

    Got a new hard drive... WD 4TB. Installed the latest Win10 from ISO... everything went great, but I can't do anything with 1.8 (or so) TB of unallocated space. Did some looking around and it seems I needed to format the drive GPT. Tried to reinstall, but I'm stuck with 2 partitions.. I...

    Windows 10 build 10162 on fast track

    Due to recent events, I need to reinstall my OS... so I was planning on downloading the ISO. I assume I can just install it from scratch with that, correct? I'm currently on Win7.. never made the move to 8.x and haven't tried any of the preview builds of 10. Was planning on waiting until the...

    How does a virus infect a website?

    I'm not sure about the addfav.php.. that was done by another company a couple years ago. I just kept a copy of that site there.... probably should have deleted it since I wasn't going to use it anymore. I'll check my logs... see if I can find anything from them. I just find it odd that it...

    How does a virus infect a website?

    Oh well... couldn't clean the files myself, so I had the company that made the site reupload the files. This time I downloaded and burned them to a cd... thinking of putting them on dropbox or something as well... Have no interest in having this happen again at some point. At least now I have a...

    How does a virus infect a website?

    Thanks for the tips. When I first discovered it, I checked dates... there were two.. One from back in May, and one from mid-July. I haven't touched the site in a while... since it's pretty static. (Although I should update it a bit I guess...) I can't even open the files.... windows says...

    How does a virus infect a website?

    I have a website for my biz and the otherr day when I went to it AVG put up a warning... I wasn't sure if maybe it was my laptop or what... so I had a couple of my friends check and of course they got it too. I then downloaded the files from the site on another machine and Windows anti-virus...

    HDD prices rising

    Someone is selling the GoFlex 1tb drive for $60 on craigslist... says its NIB.. Seems like a good price, right?? Gotta go thru my stuff and see what I have. I just got a new drive not too long ago, but it was to replace some smaller drives rather then add to them. Wish I haven't been...

    Build suggestions for a i5-2500k cpu

    Unfortunately, this plan has been placed on hold. :( Due to a huge screwup at work, it doesn't look like I'll be able to move forward until mid-late Oct. Really, really stinks... not just for the rig, but for life stuff like rent and other bills. lol Thanks everyone for their suggestions...

    Build suggestions for a i5-2500k cpu
