Windows 10

[Dicehunter]

Everything is up and running that I had on 8.1 but Windows 10 is a lot faster, Not a placebo either it really is faster, Liking it so far

Just need some theme support and DX12 games/benches

On a separate note though my GPU seems to never go below 1000MHZ on the core, Nvidia need a new driver.

I love that it says 'before installing windows 10 insider preview... something needs your attention'

And.. damnit.. just pressed the check PC button... and I'm still on reserved after re-downloading it

Got that on my laptop, tried downloading it twice , first failed preapring to install was 5.4GB, when I tried downloading again it came in at around 8.1GB.

I do have the USB ISO here but when I try installing 10 Pro over the top of a fully updated 8.1 Pro it will only give me the option to keep personal files and apps, not my windows settings and programs

Never had this issue on my desktop or my crappy little 6yr old netbook with an atom CPU.

I made an iso using the esd method.If I select upgrade will it ask for a key? If it does do Iuse the normal windows 8 key?

So weird on the size differences.

Just seen this for those that want to download the ISO files direct from Microsoft.

Weird. I have tried it on 2 different PC's on 2 different connections now and still get the same.

Downloads here fine as well, they both do. I'm using Firefox.

What provider do you have ?

I also use FF and use Sky

I'm in Australia so doubt provider info is going to help too much.

It is 2 different providers though.

On the "Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool" page it details how to install windows 10 to a machine that currently has no operating system using an iso.

Step 5 talks about activating the product key:

5. "On the Enter the product key to activate Windows page, enter your product key. The product key should be in a purchase confirmation email if you bought Windows 10. It looks like this: PRODUCT KEY: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX.

Note

If you upgraded to Windows 10 on this PC by taking advantage of the free upgrade offer and successfully activated Windows 10 on this PC in the past, you won't have a Windows 10 product key, and you can skip the product key page by selecting the Skip button. Your PC will activate online automatically so long as the same edition of Windows 10 was successfully activated on this PC by using the free Windows 10 upgrade offer.

I thought the idea was that you could enter your old key, i.e. windows 7/8.1 and this would activate windows 10 if for instance you format you current PC which has the old, activated OS in order to do a clean install. It doesn't seem very clear.

Ah looks like it's working in Firefox. Just Chrome being a PITA.
