Sorry. I'm with Enthusiast! A lot story, nothing to prove! No direct answers to direct questions! I'm out from THIS!
His question was answered mulitple times. He just wanted it his way or no way.. Did I do a clean install. Yes.. How did I not? I had a brand new drive I had formatted the drive using G-Parted I used a legit iso from the Downloader and had tweaked it with MSMG. Used a USB drive and ran the installer to install directly to the new SSD FFS It's like talking to kindergartners...
Bro, It's really nice to share. But if you share it nicely and in details and answer some of the enthusiast members, your problems maynot only get answered but can also open a new vista.
You post about a magically activated windows 10, a crippled windows 7 after installing 10 and gave not one direct answer to the very simple questions. Wished you were a child, then you would have listened carefully and given straight answers, like the kids i helped when i worked for sony online gaming and had to set many routers to portforward the correct ports by phone to get them online. The little kids did a better job You don't have to download from TPB to get garbage iso, MJG hosts a few too. And kinguin is known for selling stolen, generated or otherwise illegally obtained keys.
Kinguin is a middleman. Like Ebay... Who also sells stolen stuff, if that's how you wanna be about it.. If Kinguin sells a stolen or bad key, they refund you or give you a new key. As far as "microsoft user agreement" If a person gets a new key and doesn't agree... they can do whatever they want.. You're not agreeing to anything just by owning it. If people like Microsoft nuts on their chin, they can keep em there. I had 0 problems with 7 or my key.. I'd rather not give a company with deplorable, untrustworthy business practice any extra money because their product has become practically mandatory. Nothing makes a company change it's tune like loss of money. There's a reason they don't charge for windows in China.. LOL FWIW I Got it for the most part. I used the 'remove all but store' option in the default metro apps section pulled quite a few other things, including the store client. Installed with my network disabled. used O&O shutup before I gave it access to the internet. And It's pretty much stripped down. Somehow I still ended up with the mixed reality portal even though I removed it. Cortana is in my list, but Search is gone.. so I guess it's just search... After all this, I'm absolutely putting 7 on my daughters PC when I build it here in a week or so... This was the biggest help, Thanks for that!
