You must get an Enterprise iso but I recommend the pro vl. It's better a clean installation. Burn the iso in a DVD or use a USB (it is faster). I use Daemon tools ultra. Enter the bios and select the usb as boot mode. In the first screen that appears, press uppercase and F10. There you have to put the following: DISKPART select disk 0 clean exit And continue the installation.
For you will be only clean installation no upgrade if I remember... New Win will erase all your data so backup it first. You can open ISO with Daemon Tools and run setup and watch procedure. Everything would be display on screen. Very easy.
Iirc 1511 pro install doesn't accept the enterprise key, 1703 will. There is no need for making usb's or using daemon tools, just open the iso with explorer (mount) and run the pro setup, let it upgrade to 1703 and after it's finished you can insert the enterprise key and it will switch to enterprise.
You must download (buid 10563.483): 15063.0.170710-1358.rs2_release_svc_refresh_CLIENTProfessionalVL_VOL_x64fre_fr-fr_fcdef8db06ed83cefc4a9764edf9e300c8a834e0.esd (at adguard techbench) For the other questions, I don't have (and don't recommend) dual boot OS.
Why? That doesn't answer the question about the partition he wants to merge. @KingAlex, i never wanted to do that neither had a need to. MBR can handle 4 primary partitions (2 OS + system partitions), GPT can handle a whole lot more. Why do you want it merged?
I can see only an option for close my session. I just want this option when I'm out and I don't want to suspend the PC
On my install it shows "change account settings, lock, signout | list of other users" Do you even have more users on your system? If not, why don't you just lock (windows key + L)? Alt+f4 on desktop and then "switch user" also directs you to the lock/sign in screen.
Thanks for the reply Sir. I was under the impression that if I do that and I dual-boot, both partitions will have the capability to boot by themselves. I was thinking of dual-booting Win 10 ( 2 partitions) but not right now. As of the moment I have Win 8.1 Pro on another HDD. The Win 10 partition is on a separate HDD. In the future I plan to dual-boot Win 10 and Win 8.1 as there are some programs that I need that can't run in Win 10 (and can't install in Win 10 --licensing issues) thus I need to retail Win 8.1. It was like that when I migrated to Win 8.1 from Win 7(issues with programs especially CAD). If my goal is dual-boot Win 10 Pro and Win 8.1 Pro in a single partition, is my rationality correct Sir..? Sorry newbie here
You need one partition for Win 10 Pro AND one partition for Win 8.1 Pro. The "System Reserved" partition will contain the necessary items for booting your PC (bootmgr, BCD, etc...).
It is very easy to setup dual boot from within windows. Just boot to windows. Have the ISO extracted to a folder. Run setup.exe from the "Sources" folder. DO NOT run setup from the root of the folder. Skip the key. Choose "Custom: Install Windows only (Advanced)". Then, you select a partition or drive to install the new windows installation to. Done! You will have the windows 10 boot menu at startup. I always get rid of the win 10 boot menu by running Easy BCD. All I do is change the boot timeout to 3 seconds, hit save, and bam! Legacy boot loader. Edit: Repeat the process again to have a triple boot system.
There's also a blue window saying that there are windows updates available and asking me if I want to restart the PC.
If you mean Windows spotlight images: In C: > Users > [your username] > AppData > Local > Packages > Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy > LocalState > Assets
I just recently took this update on my desktop that hadn't been turned on in almost 2 years and I must say... my absolute FAVORITE part about this update was all of the files (I think just applications) it decided to delete without even asking me or keeping a list of what it destroyed. Absolutely fantastic update. Love it so much.
