sorry M8 i did a refresh of the OS, seems to be working better now as previously none of the Live tiles were working. Also in Desktop mode pressing the Windows button did not bring up the Desktop Start menu. Restoring it seems to have corrected all the issues.
Yesterday, I installed a clean Windows 8.1 and activated it using a legit key which was never used before. I still haven't seen the Windows 10 Upgrade Offer in my taskbar even after installing the 2 necessary updates namely, KB3035583 and KB2976978 and running the tool provided by Bradley Hughes and applying all 3 options. As per the statement given by @murphy78 on the Windows 10 Build 10240 Discussion Thread, he clearly states under the activation head: Upgrade from a Win7 (activated by daz loader in BIOS or CSM mode) or a legit 7/8/8.1 activated system (no KMS) After upgrade, make sure your system is activated After your system was activated you can clean install and just skip the key entry and it will be activated As far as I know the key gets associated with the motherboard and WIndows 10 may get activated automatically after doing a fresh install. So the question is if I download this leaked RTM will it get automatically activated? Or shall I wait till the GP release since my internet bandwisth is limited? Thanks
Ok, so I upgraded to Windows 10. Activation went perfect, noi problems at all. Now Windows itself is not working 100%. Everything seems to be going at a snails pace. I tried to do sfc scannow but not even that seems to be working correctly. I have no idea what is up but it worked much better in vmware then it does on the main PC OS. Also bitdefender is not working correctly (but in vmware it did)
Perform a fresh reset to resolve all these issues. Do this: Settings App---->Update & Security---> Recovery----> Reset this PC-----> Get started.
Did you choose the "Remove all App,s Settings etc" option during reset? If No, then do the same. If yes, then you must have driver-related issues.
Hi Guys, I am wondering if you can help me, I am upgrading some PC's in my work from legit windows 7 home/premium to this copy of windows 10 just via the upgrade not fresh install. Some are asking for a product key upon initializing the upgrade wizard and i cant skip this, others are going through without a product key. Why is this and what can I do to get around this? Kind Regards Jamie
onnel things. Also no driver issues according to device manager Yes i did, all apps and setting and keep pers
You can't skip the product key entering?! Sounds weird. Can you please post a screenshot of upgrade wizard?
Funny, now sfc scannow is working. Dont know if it was that I needed to restart a few times for the hell of it or a defrag or a cleanup or what but it is scannng and running better. Will keep an eye out on it and if i notice anything else Will come back EDIT: sfc stuck at 33% now, acting like it was not to long ago when it would go only as far at 2%, even in safe mode
After clean installing Windows 10 I noticed system restore for c: was off. Not that I'm complaining (it's one of the first things i turn off) but I found it odd that a feature meant to recover from bad states comes as off by default. Usually after clean installs of previous windows, system restore would default on and had never seen it any different.
Today I am going to install 10240 x86 Pro to my XP Laptop (has never seen 7 or 8/8.1) and try to use KMSpico to activate ... curious to see if it will work
