    I installed some win10 pro version iso file from torrent 2-3 years ago, then I used KMSpico to activate it and it's been working relatively fine until a week ago, when I noticed slow booting times up to 2 minutes, also a lot of strange bugs and cpu and memory usage of these processes:
    -Microsoft software protection platform service
    -WMI Provider Host

    So, I want do a clean install, but all of these stuff is a bit overwhelming for me, there seem to be a lot of ways to do it, so I would be very grateful if someone here could explain in short points what is the best, tested method to install windows 10 pro version and how to activate it.
    I've downloaded Win10_1903_V1_EnglishInternational_x64.iso, but I'm not really sure what to do next.

    then use official 18362.30 MVS/MSDN ISO or the ESD file (that too on v18362.30 same as MVS/MSDN ISO) to make your own ISO with preferred edition & language and followed by integrating the latest SSU & CU (alongwith other adobe SU, Dotnet & IMU if you wish) to get your preferred 116 or 145 version of ISO.

    You can upgrade with an in place installation : mount your iso image and execute setup.exe; you can keep your applications.
    This is the place to go for activation.

    Yeah like SM03 mentioned. You will have to build from scratch there is so many tools in the forum, really spoil for choice compare the winxp and win7 era...

    Frankenbuilds are builds made of different edition files, unofficial chopping, tweaking, etcetc.,,.

    UUP = official windows WU system, it downloads the official canonical esd files, it integrates the updates officially and in a smart way, the editions it creates are official editions.

    I've just installed to the newest version of windows 10 pro (1903) like you suggested and no problems so far regarding the genuinity, should I still do proceed with the activation method, or am I in the safe?

    I'm sure you know this but for people wondering, the Microsoft.Paint_* package is for Paint 3D appx and not the regular Paint win32 app, so if you don't use Paint 3D you can safely remove it and still maintain regular Paint

    I just got the same message. Created a restore point to be safe, and am updating now. These big updates always make me nervous, lol. Fingers crossed!

    If Microsoft is still going to release 19H2 & sticks to schedule, that means Final in Sept. & release to Public in Oct. Does that leave any time for a Beta Program ?

    Normally it wouldn't but 19H2 has technically been continually tested since the Fast/Skip jump to 20H1. They are just going to backport features and fixes when the time comes for 19H2. I'm certain that information to that effect has been posted somewhere on this forum but lack the motivation to go searching for it. :)

    Never knew that and I wondered why 3D Paint was still installed.

    Basically these are all the bloatware that not many want and until now ms still don’t give user the option to opt out.

    Doesn't seem to handle my multimonitor setup well on AMD VEGA. Getting lots of weird issues. Going back to the LTSB/LTSC which was rock solid.
