[FAQ] Win 10, Installs and Upgrading.

not sure, still scratchin muh head

 

Or did so intentionally to get move over to Windows 10

 

So... that would theorically confirm MS KNOWS about Daz Loader and how it works... Still, they didnt block upgrading from an OEM system...
The naive one is me I should guess...

 

oh MS has known about Daz and the Loader for years. Hell, they are here regularly (for real).

 

I recently downloaded Windows 10 Enterprise. Is it possible to do an in-place upgrade to LTSB?

 

Yeah ok we come here daily, hello, you caught me

 

See folks, we just mention the idea, and they gotta come out and say something. So lonely these MS spy's lives are

 

Hi All,

Forgive me if I misunderstand or have a unclear question. I read in the first post as follows.

@ mtrai

1. Can I do a clean install:

Yes but you have to upgrade first then you can do a clean ISO install.


My question is that I've upgraded Windows 10 Pro from Windows 8.1 Pro activated. After upgrading my pc is activated automatically. Now I would like to install a clean Windows 10 Pro ISO only. Do I have to activate Windows 10 Pro again with Windows 10 key or It will automatically activate after clean installation ?

Thanks a lot for your explanations in advanced.

 

While doing a clean installation of Windows 10 Pro, simply hit skip when prompted to enter product key. And, yes, the clean install of Windows 10 Pro would activate itself once you are online again.

 

I have used Daz on a couple of my computers from 7 and upgraded to 10 with no problems , and a friends computer was done the same with 7 Ultimate , but with a hitch when he upgraded to 10 from 7 it cancelled his up and said he had a Non genuine copy of Windows and it removed his genuine water mark on windows 7 Cheers

 

Before, I have dual-boot Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB on C and D drives respectively (original graphical boot menu options working as normal). Currently I had a clean installation of Windows 10 Education on Drive C but now I lose graphical boot menu options (only legacy boot menu options available). How to get back the graphical boot menu options? I have tried several methods by Googling but no luck. Thanks

 

What do you see when you run bcdedit in command prompt with elevated privileges?

 

Please see SS attached

 

Type in:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} DisplaybootMenu No

 

Also, when in Windows 10 EDU, run
bcdedit /set {current} description "Windows 10 Education"
bcdedit /set {d2c00310-461a-11e5-835f-e21ddc2541de} description "Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB"


EDIT:
Okay, looking back, GUID in the second command should be that of the other OS entry, that might not be {d2c00310-461a-11e5-835f-e21ddc2541de}, something that I just presumed.

Correction:
It should have been bcdedit not bootmgr. Sorry.

 

Profoundly thanks you. It is working fine now.

 

But like in SS for first. I am on Windows 10 Eduation (bootmgr /set {current} description "Windows 10 Education")

 

It should have been bcdedit not bootmgr.

 

Thank you so much, without your help I will need to reinstall my Windows. Everything is working as expected now.

 

Hi folks,

I have read last 10 pages but still confused about w10 upgrade-clean install etc. Wd you kindly make it clear for me.

1- Why we should free upgrade from win 8.1 pro to W10, and if activates succesfully , then some time later we should perform a clean install again?
Is it a must or not? If yes , should I use an ISO install or reset this installation as EFA11 mentioned in previous posts?

2. My laptop has win 8.1 Pro, it was activated with MStoolkit. I hope upgrade does not create problems with MStoolkit?

3. Should I put bios in UEFI mode or in legacy bios mode? Does it matter or not?
