thanks, that worked, it was under region... thanks again..
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.
The Edge browser is really fast. It is as good as any other except that it currently does not support extensions in any capacity. Maybe when they fix this, I will switch to it.
Thank you for reminding me that I could do a reset. I am doing that on 2 computers now that were slow booting after the upgrade was done. Already backed up the data anyways so it is worth a try.
Not a whole lot i like so far. On my laptop i essentially had to right click and disable every live tile because it was consuming enough cpu to keep my fan ramped up without even touching the start menu .
Also, I think window title bars should have color
Still debating if I should go ahead an delete the Windows.old folder...its taking 18gigs of my SSD. Any reason I should keep?
So far I like 7>10>8
Can someone try these for me under W10 64bit and see if they work:
CoreTemp
MSI Afterburner/Kombustor
CPUZ
GPUZ
Logitech SetPoint Drivers

took me a bunch of command line BS but I finally got mine reactivated :|
Same bullshit as the tech preview.
Installed from 8 (retail key) to 8.1 Pro to Windows 10 Pro (activated).
Used Magic Jelly Bean to find key, turns out to be a generic key...great.
Refresh the PC to start as a fresh install....completely fucks the system. Can't boot anymore and in fact wipes the entire drive clean.
Start a fresh install. Skip the key request and go on with the install. Now the key is one I haven't seen before and it won't activate. Put the old key in and get
"error 0xc004f069 non-core edition"
so now I'm stuck without being able to activate my computer. Definitely not activating through the MS Store or whatever people said was going to happen.
Getting reports from people and I'm going to be trying this on the weekend, if you clean install your version of 8 to 8.1, let it update to 10 via the forced update from site and then use the ISO to create a bootable media you can clean install without a CD key and just activates, it recognizes your hardware.
That's what I did. The problem seemed to be that when I skipped inputting the key it installed Home version and the key I had wouldn't even work on it since it was for Pro.Getting reports from people and I'm going to be trying this on the weekend, if you clean install your version of 8 to 8.1, let it update to 10 via the forced update from site and then use the ISO to create a bootable media you can clean install without a CD key and just activates, it recognizes your hardware.
I'm noticing that the computers I updated from 7 and 8.1 to 10 on release are running a lot better then my Insider Preview machine upgraded through to RTM, which is my main PC. To I'm going to be doing a clean 8 install and going from there to the 10 clean install method. I have no clue why we don't get free copies of 10 on thumb drives if they can't let us do clean installs to 10 full like they did with Vista and 7 (both I got free for testing), I guess with 8 and 10 they figured it was cheap ($30) or free.
Your hardware hash is being stored on MS servers.Any of you know how the license is being checked? Mine says activated, but I never input a key. I DID create the ISO using MS's tool from a legitimate copy of Windows, so I'm assuming the key is on the USB stick now? I'm kind of worried what will happen if I lose the USB drive or do a significant upgrade, as I don't have a key (other than the old Windows 8 key) to present to the automated MS phone number.
This is exactly what I did, and it works fine, but the problem is I don't know how/where the key is being stored. And what the hell am I supposed to input into the Microsoft phone number when I do a significant upgrade?
mope54,
That's a great point. I've been trying to figure out how they'll handle the upgrades after the first year. You may have hit it. IF you do a substantial hardware change, you may need to go back through installing/upgrading your previous OS again.
Your hardware hash is being stored on MS servers.
When you do have a significant upgrade it's going to be a nightmare. This is the same thing I went through when I had the tech preview. The tech support told me there was nothing they could do after my key was blocked.
The best answer I've seen is if you ever do upgrade your hardware you'll have to clean install from 7 or 8.1 and go through the whole thing again to set your hardware hash again. I suppose that won't work after the initial year of free. There definitely isn't a way to do it through the phone like older versions.
There's a potential problem with this though that many might have overlooked. Check out this link. It seems to me, what this is saying is that our Windows 7/8 licenses permanently transfer over to Windows 10 after 1 month. After that we won't be able to downgrade with our previous license. I really hope this isn't the case, but it might be. If it is the case though, then we're going to be stuck with basically a non-transferrable Windows 10 OEM license based on whatever hardware fingerprint was sent to the servers when doing out first upgrade.
In other words, for our "free" upgrade to Windows 10, we're consuming our older Windows 7/8 licenses and turning them into a non-transferrable OEM license fingerprint that's only relevant for whatever hardware was used for doing the initial upgrade. Just a theory, but I really hope this isn't the case.
