That's quite strange, since there have been lengthy threads over on their forums describing numerous issues, some intractable, ever since Win10 came out (with versions past 4.3.12, that is). No idea how you bypassed all of them (it's not merely choosing Win81). I suppose extensions even work for you.
Yes. In that case, the installation advances a bit (I am able to input the credentials), but when it's about to begin copying files, it stops again and hangs.
Are you that stupid? Do you even know what I'm talking about? An idiot like you who doesn't know how to scale down the calculator? The only problem I would have is the scaling with most Metro Apps. The smallest you can scale it to is 3/4 of the screen vertically so pretty much you can't have 4 apps split on your screen.
Yeah agreed, but I just meant that as Windows gets updates over the years following forward, it will surely rise in build numbers. By the way, I have often wondered why Microsoft can't just sell the OS for something reasonable. Either they give you a free upgrade and or they charge crazy prices. What is wrong with just selling it for a normal price point such as say $19.99? How many millions of poor and middle class people would stop pirating if the thing was affordable? $5 or $10 upgrades, $19.99 for Pro and $39.99 for Premium or Ultimate versions and MUCH more for corporate/server editions. Bring back the Home Server edition and charge $49.99. Maybe I am missing something but I just do not understand why it is so hard for them to figure out pricing. I won't be paying $120, that's for damn sure... I paid $250 a year for nearly a decade of Technet and got myself 10 licenses (or keys) of 7 Ultimate, and another 10 of Pro and about everything else they made. I can go back to 7 or use 10 without paying for it. If they sell it for a "smart" cost, then I will be all over it.

Have you tried issuing "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" setextradata global VBoxInternal/CPUM/CMPXCHG16B 1 and using win 8.1 x64 as I suggested earlier? It will work..at least as far as getting it installed. It will have the same issues as VMWare so far as being able to autosize the window.
Amen to the TechNet/MSDN keys, a great back up plan. Agree with the "smart cost" idea too, I like 10. Have one disk with a purchased copy of Home Premium all ready for the "free upgrade". It will be interesting to see where we are, Windows wise, in another year or two.
Well, I always buy my OSes...but the last steep price I remember paying was $249 for Vista Ultimate during its first year. I went with the Windows Home 'Family License' pack for Win7x64 Home Premium @ $150, but that provided me with three licenses--installable on three machines simultaneously at home or elsewhere. Only problem was that Microsoft's phone activation *never* recognized the keys as providing 3 licenses! I wound up having to lie to the phone and say "one" when I should have been able to say "three" and get authorization on that key! ( I had to use phone for the other license authorizations because the main key only authorized one license instead of the three I paid for. Ticked me off at the time.) I don't think Microsoft ever fixed that. I'm still using 7 HP on an old laptop that's buried somewhere around the house--I think the wife uses it sometimes. Then, after paying $39.99 for the .iso direct from Microsoft for Win8.0, it became apparent that the per-license MSRP for Windows was steadily falling. That's as it should be since the overall Windows market today is huge compared to what it was in, say, 1990. It has grown exponentially since then. I don't know about $19.99, but I'd be surprised if the consumer version sells for > $40. I could be wrong, of course... But it's a non-issue for me, personally. I'd advise anyone to buy your OS software if that is what it takes to get a legitimate license. These guys are deserving of our support. I mean, I've known people who'll spend $600 on a 3d card that is supported by the manufacturer for maybe three years but balk at paying $90 for an OS that's is updated and maintained by the developer for 2x-3x that long. I want to support the OS guys because without a decent OS all my hardware is about as useful as a doorstop or flower box. You know...?...Just my two cents...
I think its the mic, for me at least, I went into recording devices and raised the volume to max and boost to max as well, it works now if I talk a bit loud, its annoying, sometimes she doesnt recognize what I say even and sometimes doesnt give me a chance to listen to me, but when I talked closer to her it was amazing, I asked her what Halo is and she told me that its about an AI who saves the world (her) and her shy quite friend (master chief?) with a picture of herself entitled Microsoft Cortana, pretty cool! I have it recorded even!
I have never had an issue installing Office 2013 in any build of either the Technical Preview OR the Technical Preview for Enterprises. At all. Not x32 (which I did by error once), and not x64. However, it seems that the vast majority of complaints are revolving around aesthetics OR legacy software and/or hardware (anything that dates back to XP or older). Have you considered running your legacy software in a VM (if not even XP or Vista compatibility mode is an option)? I still find it WAY too early to be testing for aesthetics (I didn't test the Developer OR Consumer Previews of 8 for aesthetics). At this stage, I test for two (and only two) things - in any OS - compatibility (with the software I run today) and usability. Everything else gets added considerably later. Except for games that utilitze the SOE Launchpad, I haven't had any compatibility issues at all - only the Developer and Consumer Previews of Windows 8 were this stellar this early. (Have we forgotten how bad the early betas of 7 - and earlier - were on exactly those two issues?)
I think he is talking about Microsoft Office 2003 not 2013. However, I personally disagree with the use of Office 2003 in Windows 10 after many changes have been made to it. It can cope with the scheme of things in present time.
I was wondering if anyone is having problems with Automatic Maintenance? I get the dialog box when trying to start it saying it's unavailable. If I try to go into Task Schedule to see the settings, there are no Tasks at all. This is on a clean install of build 9926 and I did the dism restore health command.
Free up some hard drive space: 1.Disable Hibernate (saves between 3 or 4 GB) Code: powercfg -h off 2.Disable Swapfile (saves about 250MB) Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management] "SwapfileControl"=dword:00000000 3.Set Paging File to 200MB works fine for me.
Regarding the issues of Cortana being "deaf" for some of us, I too have that issue. For the record I'm on pure Intel hardware with my Dell Latitude E6400 business class machine (Core 2 Duo P8700, Intel GM45 chipset, IDT Sound chip which is Intel too, actually). I installed 9926 like an hour after it became available (only took 35 mins to get the ISO), got it fully updated, Device Manager shows every piece of hardware supported and working, and the one thing that bugged me the most was Cortana being "deaf" to me - my Wife is deaf (literally, since birth) and that's more than enough for me, now I can't even get my damned laptop to respond. Having said that, I checked the audio levels (I'm an audio engineer so I sorta-kinda know my way around these things), made sure it was all correct, verified the internal mic in the laptop was working, maxed out the levels just to verify it twice, used Sound Forge to record audio from the internal mic (no issues), also plugged in an older Plantronics analog headset/mic and recorded audio from that as well. Even went so far as to do a tiny bit of training with the Windows speech recognition routines and THEY all worked as well, but even after all this Cortana still can't seem to "hear" me and it's pretty odd as well as pissing me off too. So I wiped it and reinstalled it a second time, same basic routine of updates, reboots, enabling Cortana, enabling the use of the mic, checking levels, raising the input gain, etc etc and doing some test recordings of analogy audio input from both of the mics I have AND STILL Cortana doesn't respond. I have no idea what's going on but it soured me enough to make me go back to Windows 7 yet once again. I really can't stand what Microsoft is doing with Windows 10 but I keep hoping one of these builds will enlighten me (in some respects) on why they're doing all this crap with their operating system. If anyone has any other suggestions regarding getting Cortana working, I'm all ears... pun very much intended. For the record: the mics work, it's been verified, audio levels are more than acceptable for input to be recognized - the Windows speech recognition system responds to me speaking just fine, Cortana is just deaf for me in my specific situation and I cannot figure out why. I'm in the US (Las Vegas), everything for regional settings is for US English, it's all correct and working but "she" just can't hear me and it's pretty damned frustrating. Yes, I've had to log into my Microsoft account as well (something I really despise Microsoft forcing on people just to make use of this stuff but that's how it goes...) and it has no effect on Cortana hearing me at all.
