Oh damn that must be dirty and slow?

I'm from 2012 and it runs as fast today as it did then.

Well, on Win 10 now guys!! All went smooth as cream! Fingers crossed it stays that way! Now, best way to clean install? mmmm?? Reset maybe?

Easy.

Nuke the hard drive from setup USB stick and start over.

I've tried the fix in CMD, all updates are installed that are required, and still no Get Windows 10 icon?

Just go to the Windows FAQ page and download the iso that matches what you should get and run it that way. You dont need to do the icon thing.

Still no luck, even using the ISO from the Windows 10 FAQ thread. Every time it hangs on the blue windows logo after the first restart. Any ideas?

How long have you waited on the Blue windows logo for? Is their any sign of hdd activity or anything?

Its not to bad really but it does need to be done for sure.

robjf · 30 Jul 2015 at 17:56

No HDD activity whatsoever. 30 minutes so far, I will continue to wait though!

robjf · 30 Jul 2015 at 17:59

And if I do reset the machine it will probably come back with the same 0xc1900101 0x20017 SAFE_OS error I'm guessing.

Although the laptop is getting hotter than it would normally do if it was just sat idle. Hmmm.

I have it on a DVD (ISO)

I can boot from that and do the business?

New GPU-Z 8.5 is out which works with Windows 10 including Cuda Detect fix
http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2524/techpowerup-gpu-z-v0-8-5/

Still has DX11.2 Support listed, should that not be DX12 in Win 10?

Anyone used the "3D builder" app"?

robjf · 30 Jul 2015 at 18:01

This is the exact same issue, though there doesn't appear to have been any resolutions offered! http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...7/be101aa5-3735-426b-992d-e1969cb37fa7?auth=1

Interestingly the same brand of laptop if that means anything?

@Danny091 - This is the Mega link... ISO's are uploading now so if you can add this too the FAQ would be great.

and this will allow me to update from W8.1 as per usual?

koolpc · 30 Jul 2015 at 18:11

Updated superbly guys! Cant believe how smooth it went. And activation!! Thinking of a clean install next. No rush though

My windows 10 upgrade nightmare is still continuing since I found that the first attempt failed with a C1900208 error code, and the two attempts that were made yesterday failed with the 80240020 error code and since the folder containing the upgrade files is under 4GB in size it looks like the download was incomplete and I have to do a but of purging and using a bit of BF+I to get it to start downloading everything again.

Also it seems that M$ have removed directX 9 support from windows 10 which would explain the incompatibility report for the 6600LE on my fathers computer.

yes double click the iso in windows so it mounts it then run the setup.

Matson · 30 Jul 2015 at 18:14

Is a clean install the same as doing a ''Reset''?

Nope still doesnt do it

See:

Still trying some other things lol. Couple of questions were you using a local or Microsoft account?

Also have you tried going to the target folder directly and creating a document? When I go through documents folder it doesn't do it but when I go directly to the folder location it duplicates.

Thanks

Why not do it this way:

Awesome, now my W10 install has decided it doesn't want to be activated any more lol.

Twirlywoos · 30 Jul 2015 at 18:21

Just curious but has anyone actually upgraded from the installation files that were downloaded to your C:/ without using any ESD or ISO trickery also excluding those who are part of Dreamspark or Windows insider programmes?
