Quick question guys, my laptop has already upgraded but my main machine has a 128Gb SSD so I have symlinked C:\Users to D:\Users on my storage drive so that I have space for all my Music, Photos etc. Is this going to stop the upgrade and if so what do I do about it?

It should be fine. You might have to do the link again after upgrading. Many people have their files on another drive.

Another way to disable lock screen:

the mega link for W10 pro 64 bit doesn't work, it downloads to 99% then states a decryption error and then if you re start the download it starts over and displays the same error.

didn't try the other 3 links, I was using google chrome

Then you have the Home edition which doesnt have a group policy editor.
