Has anyone noticed how dumb Windows 10 names the user folder when using a Microsoft Account now? In Windows 8.1, using a Microsoft Account would make my user folder be named "Dylan" which makes sense - it pulled my first name from the account. In Windows 10, using a Microsoft Account makes my user folder be named "purem" which is stupid. It's just taking the first 5 letters of my account email. Not a huge issue but is killing my OCD whenever I need to reference the user folder.
You must have caught it right at the point it was being implemented. I deleted my card from the msa and it still says it will cost $99. I am assuming if i hit that box it will ask for a card but I'm still not going to do that in case my card removal hasn't worked its way through their system yet. Somebody else without a card tied to their account should try it.
That is exactly the reason whether in 8 or 10 I NEVER connect with my MSA during installation. I always connect with a local account named Don first and then after the install is done I connect to my MSA. That way the user name will always be Don no matter how many different accounts I connect to later down the road.
Enterprise has the feature "Start Screen Control with Group Policy". What's that ? Start Screen not exist anymore.

So they have started pushing the code out today. At least now everybody can stop saying there is going to be a new build...finally they can stop.
There is no way to rename the folder that I'm aware of. Renaming it would break a lot of programs as they directly reference that folder. Only thing I can think of is using symbolic links. That's actually a pretty good idea, thanks for the tip.
I downloaded the correct .esd file, decrypted it and made a disc to do an upgrade to my windows 8.1 installation. It seems to be working really well, but i would prefer to do a clean install. Since i have performed the upgrade, and i am activated, i should be able to do a full wipe, repartition, etc, and my existing key in my uefi should reactivate windows 10. I just wanted to make sure this was correct
As soon as we noticed that they pushed the majority of the esd builds onto the download servers I think I knew. I didn't want to believe because I wanted a GA ISO, but I knew... Oh well. Can still hope they'll at least make a good GA patch.
