Will have to get up earlier, Boy ya'll (Southern Boy) are on top of it, just can't get ahead of the puppies, jk, lol
I have a Windows 10 ISO image on a USB key, and have seen a situation where it never asked me to upgrade even though a Daz-activated copy of Windows 7 was freshly installed. I tried running the setup file live whilst in Windows 7, as well as booting from the USB key. I got this to work on other machines, but this one desktop machine is a different experience. Instead of giving the option to upgrade, it went straight into the install process -- there never was any upgrade option even though I think I followed all the steps right! Maybe my USB media is bad? On another machine, it asked me if I wanted to upgrade and notified me to boot back into the OS and run the setup file from the install media. The final result was a success. As to the problem computer, at one point, a screen I've never seen before with some basic graphics on it (like a picture of a monitor) asked if I wanted to boot into Windows 7 or Windows 10 on the machine which was giving me trouble with showing no upgrade option (like a boot loader). So, have other people had the same thing, where they followed all the steps yet were surprised to find that the Windows 10 installer never provided the upgrade option (instead of advanced install) when it should be there?
Can you download ISO you need on bad computer, then click on it to upgrade it You did not clean install Win 10 without success did you
I will try again and report back. I verified the MD5 and SHA-1 checksums of the wzor RTM leak, so I know the ISO image is valid unless my USB key is bad. The clean install was successful, but as expected, came out not activated. I may have actually tried booting from the USB key rather than running the Windows 10 setup file (on the USB key) from within the Windows 7 environment. I forget now, but I do remember booting from the USB key and trying that way first. Now I know not to do that after reading more on here.
Guys, i've been away traveling these past 4 days. My 10240 rtm has been getting 0 updates, last one recived on the 29th. antivirus makes sure i no longer recvive them security updates, but has there reallly been no updates lol?
Defender keeps updating, all the time apparently or at least every time I look in there, Windows Defender has updated. Other than that, no, nothing major that I remember in the last 2 days.
i do normal clean install so i dont have previous OS installed i think cos on diskcleanup i dont have there previous os but on startup i see always this stupid screen choose OS wind 10 id default or previous OS i still cant remove this screen on my windows folder i see that it has 9GB !!! so any solution how reduce this folder also i disable hibernation so i dont know why is it 9gb !! on system i have only installed mozilla, office 2003 only word excell ppt and outlook i have foxit reader, winrar, java, avast free, irfan view, vlc media player and classic shell. and also i install all updates from windows update
ok I have 2 questions and then I think I'm good to go 1 every one is saying to do a clean install this away Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Reset this PC > Get Started. but in the past I have always used wipe drive to wipe out my hard drive and installed fresh and was thinking about going here and downloading the ios microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 and doing the clean install but is it better to do a clean install this away Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Reset this PC > Get Started. or to use my wipe drive 2 when I do a clean install will I loose my windows dvd player as I have never used any dvd play back program other then what ms had in its windows so I'm trying to keep it if all possible thanks for any and all info
1. Either way is good, if you already have the ISO burned then go ahead. 2. What do you mean DVD player? As an app? There is a DVD play app on Windows 10. You could also download VLC and use it to play DVD's. I'm not sure I understand this question
the why I understand it if I'm reading it right is you only get that dvd app if you are upgrading if you do a clean install then you have to pay for it but I am not sure about that
hello; i have downloaded Murphy78 torrent Microsoft Windows 10 GA AIO DualBoot and am running LTSB. working great. thx Murphy78!! can anyone tell me what this is for? "KMS-Genuine-Ticket-Block" thx
Preliminary script to set the reg key that Group Policy sets when you disable the kms genuine ticket. We're not sure if it works as intended yet.
Still after latest update (ZDP) there are some bugs left: On shutdown you get Task Scheduler and something like host services that needs to be closed (that on clean install with no additional software installed like skype or anything else) On first boot the PC even on SSD is slow as hell you need to wait like 3-4 minutes till it's ok and then the updates are slow again on Windows 8.1 was better at speed. Store doesn't update the apps if you don't open it first time. Multipile times asks you about Costumize settings or express settings and product key on OOBE (2 times with no reason and restarts to install something) and that thing with one moment is anyoing. to setup the PC on Windows 8.1 was a lot better than this. If I say that I want Cortana on OOBE cortana is still disabled when log into the desktop. Black desktop sometimes after I press restart button. Edge still has compatibility issues with websites but the performance is good (example: this forum, you can't type if you don't press the enter button) Cortana settings doesn't sync between reinstalls even with Microsoft account still asks about my name and other things so do the mail and calendar app that doesn't remember the added account like in Windows 8.1 and Edge doesn't sync the bookmarks, and windows doesn't sync the settings like wallpaper or hidden file settings like on WIndows 8.1. With snipping tool still you can't screenshot like say the start menu while it's open or that sort of things. on desktop without wifi card you have a big wasted space when you click on the network icon...that's crazy !!!!!! on the sound icon I prefer the old one because I can easly open the volume mixer. If these problems aren't solved in let's say next month I am out of Windows 10 party still I like more the LTSB edition that clean I wil report all this bugs to Microsoft via Windows feedback. and you can't say that some of the problems are hardware reletead in some way because my hardware is fairly new except the GPU that's from 2012 but it has official Windows 10 drivers like other parts.
