    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.

    Where does Windows store the daily pictures in the Lock Screen?

    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.

    WU upgrade will keep all files and apps, ISO upgrade gives options what to keep.

    I'm not talking about an option that was given to me and I know what you're talking about, I am talking about executable files disappearing out of folders after the update. Digging around on Google revealed I wasn't the only person to have this issue but there is nothing that can be done. GG Microsoft.

    A lot of them were shady programs and I get that, but really strange ones I don't quite understand were minecraft.exe (official, not cracked or anything) and some batch files I had created... really annoying to lose those. They were just plucked out of the folder where they resided.

    @RGadelha About this. The extensions of the pictures is .jpg? Because I need to rename them in order to watch them. Thanks!

    Edit: I did it with ren * *.jpg at cmd and it worked. Thanks anyway :)

    If it was ESD>ISO it wasn't allowed on MDL, and iso's made from ESD can't be verified because all converted iso will have unique checksums.
