[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Build 10240

How to repair Windows image:
In ADMIN Cmd Prompt type sfc /scannow may take up to 3 times
press enter on keyboard if this finds errors try
In ADMIN Cmd Prompt Type
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Press enter on keyboard, wait for it to finish, If this does not fix problem, then
With ISO Media in CD/DVD tray: (The same media you installed image with) Type in ADMIN Cmd Prompt DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:wim:C:\install.wim:1 /limitaccess
press enter on keyboard, wait for it to finish--C would be drive letter of your CD/DVD tray
Bring up ADMIN Cmd prompt, type chkdsk /r /f , and press enter on your keyboard, then a
Y, then reboot, it now checks your disk for errors and fixes them.
If this does not work, sit back, relax several options now:
Backup copy of image
Reset/Recovery
Reformatt partition, install ISO again
Hope this helps


***One thing you must realize, this will set your system files back to default settings, so
if you have done anything wacky, it's going to set it back to default.

 

anyone tried upgrading a surface 2 to wins 10 & was it successful

My neighbour as one & he had the GWX icon on the taskbar & reserved his free upgrade but as not received anything yet he doesn't have the folder $Windows.~BT on his system & the only thing that's happen is that the GWX icon on the taskbar as gone
I told him that he could force the upgrade through windows updates by following a method that you create AllowOSUpgrade
Or he could just use the media creation tool to download & upgrade
But he was concern as to why he was offer the upgrade & now that icon that he reserved it is no longer there
Can anyone explain this
& is it safe for him to go ahead & upgrade he`s on windows 8.1 on his surface 2

 

Surface 2 isn't supported, it uses Windows 8.1 RT and there wont be a RT version of Windows 10.

 

Can someone please tell me, the meaning from this statement:

Code:

[h=3]Can I go back to my previous version of Windows if I don’t like Windows 10? 

[/h] Yes, while we think you will love all the features of Windows 10, you will have one month after upgrading to revert back to the previous version of Windows on your device. 

Is after one month, my Windows 8 license (OEM) will be forfeited??

Thanks

 

if I am from Insider preview (upgraded from windows8.1), does my windows 8.1 considered upgraded?

No, all previous keys will well work for their respective OS for activation.

 

Yes I believe you have 30 days to decide if you want Win 10 or go back to 8.1

Suppose I need to go back to Windows 8 or Windows 7?
You will either need to have recovery media or request recovery media from the manufacturer of your computer or try rolling back within the first 30 days of upgrading.

See Win FAQ's in sig

 

It's cause it removes windows.old

maybe it's possible that if you back that up you can restore after 30 days

 

I hope what your say will be correct, because I have big chance to go back to 8.1 later

it is very unfortunate if my windows 8.1 license will be forfeited, I hope they change their mind

 

my Lenovo laptop was preinstalled win 8, so usually I always remove windows.old and then perform clean installation. and the activation just works fine.

is it possible after 30 days, I perform clean install and get the win 8 activation back?

Yes if you have backup, I you can put it back on

 

Yup don't worry cause nothing will happen with the key even after 30 days it's still valid

 

Yes until next build

from your earlier post you said:

of course I have recovery media hehe
I create recovery media with Lenovo One Key Recovery, so if I have recovery media I can go back right?
I miss that statement, thanks for your help

Thanks for your answer, my worries vanished in a flash

 

This happens only if "Open explorer windows in separate processes" is enabled. I reported the issue 6 months ago as Insider and they still did not fix it... I used 10130 as my first insider build and the bug was already there. Check for yourself

 

Same issue here. It happens when I open the control panel

 

so if change GPU which i want make one small upgrade i will lost my activation haha fack it i go enterprise with kmspico and all done!!!
