Windows 10

Boomstick777 · 16 Jul 2015 at 14:04

Running Windows 10 Enterprise X64 (Build 10240), it's awesome. Fresh install.

Latest Nvidia drivers give that weird mouse bug and glitching but I expect Nvidia will fix soon.

Such a fast OS, like the style, Icons, menus etc. Haven't even bothered with classic start this time. Have the default setup setup really well.

I'm surprised that I like this so much tbh, thought it would have problems etc. I think 10 is best OS yet.

I've been using the 10TP as a separate install along side my 8.1, will the RTM only update over 10TP ? and then at full release i'll get W10 as per everyone else.

anything I don't mind · 16 Jul 2015 at 14:15

Will restart this evening and update.

Any big changes?

For the moment, and 'officially', yes. Microsoft have removed the ability to Activate an ISO install, and taken down the Windows Update process to go from 7/8.1 to 10 Preview.

I can install 10162 over Win 8.1 as an upgrade no problem and it activates and works fine. It will not update to 10240 though ?

For me? I've always used Enterprise as find extra security features appealing. Used for business is the most secure version.

With Windows 10 you can defer upgrades etc, I think Pro is the only other that allows this?

Where you get iso? give it me.

It's an 'ESD' file taken from Windows Update, untouched. You need the latest ESD Decrypter to convert the ESD into an ISO. Then you can use Windows USB tool etc to create a bootable media to install from or burn to disk.

That's what I did but it won't activate even if you upgrade from 8.1. .?

I have 10240 pro I think it's only enterprise you can use tools with ?

I'm just going to leave it with 10162 and see if it updates at some point.

Thanks. I'll update over TP for now and then use 8.1 once it all works ok.

mctiny · 16 Jul 2015 at 15:34

10162 still not updating

looks like I'll get the esd/iso and try that way later...

Also just noticed serious stutter with mp4 videos

Cast to TV is fine but in windows 10 stutters and freezes like nobodies business...

The tool works with Pro too if you use the right key.

Just built a PC using old/spare parts, how would i go about installing Windows 10 insider preview on this machine? Its got no OS on it, however i have Windows 10 10240 on my main gaming machine.

I would rather not use 3rd party activation tools tbh.

tipes · 16 Jul 2015 at 16:05

Well - I ended up having to download the Iso (torrent) for build 10240 and did an in place upgrade from build 10162, all seems well so far.

Will have a play.

As far as I can tell there are no new activations for new machines being accepted for Windows insider. You can install it from an ISO if you can get one, but won't be able to activate from a fresh install anymore?

Microsoft Insider said:
We’re very close to the public release of Windows 10 so we’re not onboarding any new PCs to the Windows Insider Program just now

I'm assuming this is Microsoft basically cutting off anyone that now wants RTM but wasn't part of the insider program prior? So is it as simple as saying that if you have an already activated version of one of the insider builds, you're fine - but otherwise you'll have to wait to upgrade from your existing Win7/8 license to get RTM activated?

Skeeter · 16 Jul 2015 at 16:55

Yes.

I assume that following release they will open it back up again as the Insider Program shifts its focus to testing enhancements and patches after that.
