    I did a clean install after I upgraded but was not able to activate. Does anyone know why that happened?

    what did you upgrade from and was it legitimate and was it activated after you upgraded?

    8.1 and yes it was legit. I upgraded to 10 and made sure I was still activated before doing the clean install.

    you need to upgrade the 8.1 to win10 by running the setup.exe in the iso. before a clean install, and then a clean install. So majority consensuses says

    You're the first I have heard who has had that..obviously your connected to the internet or you wouldn't be posting now..i wonder if ms has an issue. check it again later and do a reboot before you do.

    Hello Everyone,

    I'm currently using 125% DPI setting. In windows 8.1 applications I launched ignored this setting by default and did not launch extended/blurry - I simply got bigger menu, text and other UI elements. However, in Windows 10 all of the apps launch in blurry/extended mode, unless I change them one by one via Properties.

    I was wondering if there is a way to apply the previous behaviour of how it was in Win 8.1 or will I have to always manage each app via properties to launch in normal mode despite higher DPI?

    Thank you very kindly for any tips!

    Exactly. Also, I suggest to connect to MSA before starting upgrade process, NOT after upgrade.

    That's what I did. I'm not understanding why I wasn't activated after I logged back in to MSA after the install.

    I'm always logged into MSA. Hopefully it's just temporary.

    You don't even need a msa, I was activated after a clean install using a local account. I do think something has to come from ms though or some here are saying..that's why i suggest checking it again later.

    dumb question but the clean install was on the same pc, right?

    Yes. When it asked for a key, did you input one or skip it? I skipped it

    I installed x64 home and was not activated by the bios because my PC came with the core version, where you can download the core x64 version, thank you.
