I upgraded to 10 Pro from an activated 8.1 Pro and all is well. My only complaint is more of a Windows 10 thing - how the hell do I enable manual windows updates instead of auto and how can I preview them 1 by 1 and select the ones I want and hide the ones I don't? I see no way to control this process anymore.
You can remove it with third party software like Unlocker or get an elevated access to the directory and delete it.
hmm, anyone concerned that it seems ms is collecting all these hardware id's instead of unique keys for each machine? I dunno, made me wonder strange thoughts, lol I upgraded from 8.1, then clean installed no problem and it activated once I connected to the net, and I stayed away from any msa or anything linked like that, and I found no way to backup the activation as of yet, any luck?
So how do we avoid anti-piracy updates that might be designed to disable "other than Microsoft" activation technologies?
Hi antonio8909, i'm looking for 10240.16384.150709-1700.th1_CLIENTPRO_RET_x86fre_it-it_A314F2F3CCF9E0E14BCB05324BAB43F476EABA7E.esd and the x64 version (that i can't find the exact name). Many thanks in advance.
I see that you still have to sign in with a M$ account to use Cortana and can't use on a local account...though I have outlook installed for all my mail and calendar. Guess that is one feature that I won't be using or any the millions of enterprise users will be taking advantage of. Bad move M$. Almost there but so close...NOT. Too bad, it was a nice feature but waste of space now.
Last time I tried it it had the folder and one small file left which I could delete manually, what do you have left in it?
after you first run cleanup tool, select system files, run, then select previous operating system files
