    I'll probably just try my old two scripts for Win8 (currently I'm not sure if they work; will get around to trying in a bit), but is there a way to uninstall all Modern UI apps on 10 Tech Preview? I disable UAC, which in-turn still disables said apps; and since I don't sign into a MS account; most (if not all) of the apps are basically useless for me.

    I run two separate commands for 8 and 8.1, the first is:
    Code:
    Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage
    And the second is:
    Code:
    Get-AppXProvisionedPackage -online | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage –online

    Ehm. In Enterprise got the same Start as in Win 8.1. New start menu should be activated somewhere?

    Yeah, I tried it...did not work for Enterprise version. Plus the text was a lot different than 8.1, so at best I was just guessing.


    Edit: Figured it out, was editing the wrong string....all is well...watermark gone

    Right click on taskbar -> Properties -> Start Menu -> Use the Start Menu instead of the Start screen

    Is it not enabled by default on a desktop? I'm using a tablet with keyboard (Acer ICONIA W500) and it was by default...

    Upgraded my 8.1 laptop to the Technical Preview and everything seems to work perfectly except whenever I open a program from my taskbar or start menu, I get a small system freeze/hitch for about 1 second where everything from my mouse pointer to gifs online stop moving.

    So, those commands do work; however, it will get rid of the Feedback app (I'm unsure if it'll work even with UAC disabled). So if you want to give Microsoft feedback, you shouldn't run those commands (the first one at least).

    I've got bigger sizes(just to clarify, I'm talking about index 1 & 2 in install.wim, lol.....:p).
    Details for image : H:\sources\install.wim

    Index : 1
    Name : Windows Technical Preview
    Description : Windows Technical Preview
    Size : 13,135,575,617 bytes

    Index : 2
    Name : Windows Technical Preview for Consumer
    Description : Windows Technical Preview for Consumer
    Size : 13,050,302,326 bytes

    I understand that those instructions will deploy the windows installation on the desired or destination drive, but is there any way I can force installation(by repackaging install.wim) to choose index 1 rather than 2 rather than deploying directly.

    As per pre-release reports, it was mentioned that you can automatically can upgrade to newest builds from within os, no need to download fresh iso & clean installs.

    It's foolish to use this as a daily driver. Either VM it, or use a separate partition. W10 is quite unpolished.

    If your job is to deploy new versions of OS's it's not foolish to run this as a daily driver, it's a requirement to be competent. Problems like the one I asked about are usually only found by running as a daily driver. It is probably foolish for you to run this as a daily driver though, I agree with you there. ;)

    The key is useful if you test KMS activation via a GVLK. You can then switch back to the retail key later.

    Do you think this WIN 10 could be activated, then use MTK to backup the activation files, and restore them on an unactivated 8.1 ?

    From slmgr -dli, the license is permanent, and uses the same keys as 8.1, at least for gVLK

    Sorry I don't understand why you asked about language, but I've downloaded normal TP(En-US), and when I saw install.wim info, there are different index(es) with different sizes, one with 'Conusmer Preview' title & other normal title, as others reported(although, with Enterprise TP). And, as others presumed, I too think the index.1 is for installing Enterprise TP. Any way, I tried deployment using both indexes(to compare sizes) the final size of all the files deployed are of same size(11.4GB for Index.1 & 11.6GB for Index.2).

    Any way I found PID.txt that you mentioned in Sources folder, which contains the general key that MS provided for normal TP, so if I remove that will the installation be forced to use index.1?!

    makes sense. The key is the deciding factor in what gets installed.
