Hi all,

I got bored of waiting for Win10 to auto install, so I downloaded it from Microsoft website.

Ive burnt it to disk and then tried to install a fresh copy of win10 on my pc. This didnt work as is says it cant verify key and to check installation media? I then figured I must need to upgrade to win10 first, before I can fully instal it.

So, after upgrading I tried another fresh install to no avail, saying the same thing??

I always do a fresh install of any windows software just so theres no gremlins in the PC. I also noticed that when I did an upgrade (and choosing to delete ALL previous files) I still had 'World of Tanks & Warships on my newly installed Win 10, which I didnt understand??

Theres probably something Im missing, as Im no wizard on software. Could someone help?

thanks
 
Ahhhhh ok.

I validated win 8 when i first got it.

Ive upgraded to 10 now and validated the install, so Ill try doing a fresh and skipping step as mentioned.

Great thanks for the help!!
 
The install worked a treat, thanks!

One more quick question... does you still download motherboard drivers or does windows take care of all that now?
