Why not just keep both partitions, upgrade the partition with 8.1 on it and use other partition with Win 10 to play with, see if things work on it before putting them on your real Win 10 partition. Plus you can upgrade right here way before Jul 29
Ah I think you misunderstood me I am going from activated Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 then doing a clean install of Windows 10 again.
Is it 8.1 Pro or OEM Can I do a clean install using the Free upgrade? No, it will require that you are running a previous qualifying version and start the upgrade from within the qualifying version. You can do a clean install after the upgrade is complete When I upgrade a preinstalled (OEM) or retail version of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 license to Windows 10, does that license remain OEM or become a retail license? If you upgrade from a OEM or retail version of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 to the free Windows 10 upgrade this summer, the license is consumed into it. Because the free upgrade is derived from the base qualifying license, Windows 10 will carry that licensing too. If you upgrade from a retail version, it carries the rights of a retail version. If you upgrade from a OEM version, it carries the rights of a OEM version. Full version (Retail): - Includes transfer rights to another computer. - Doesn't require a previous qualifying version of Windows. - Expensive Upgrade version (Retail): - Includes transfer rights to another computer. - require a previous qualifying version of Windows. - Expensive, but cheaper than full version OEM : OEM versions of Windows are identical to Full License Retail versions except for the following: - OEM versions do not offer any free Microsoft direct support from Microsoft support personnel - OEM licenses are tied to the very first computer you install and activate it on - OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard - OEM versions cannot be used to directly upgrade from an older Windows operating system Ya'll gotta see post 1028, bottom
OKey, is it just me, or someone else also has such problems, no matter which build I've been using, the start menu opens with some kind of delay, sometimes all of the characters in the start, the jump lists etc. become as if I have opened charmap and have selected various of them without even thinking I cant seem to understand how come this thing could be close to rtm with so many bugs in it. Problems like these seem to slow down the whole system and experience at all. I use AMD video adapter, but it works fine as well, so I dont think the issues could be of such form. Also, my PC is not one of NASA's, but runs 7 and 8.1 smoothly enough.
Do you install the beta driver from AMD because with the microsoft driver for AMD I had some problems
