Windows 10

[Deleted member 77746]

Anyone having trouble just download the ISO from;

http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10ISO

Then get the right version and run it as an upgrade on the PC you wish to update.

So is there a way to do a fresh reformat and keep the W10 license? I'm not too keen on just updating from 8.1 to 10.

I'm going to be getting a larger SSD soon as well and want a fresh W10 install.

Would it be wise to backup my dell xps13 recovery partition before upgrading?

^ Ditto, I would rather start from fresh.

Guys does anyone know how the OS decides on what the user account folder is named as? The only reason I ask is when I go into the Users folder on the C: drive my folder is not named how it used to be. On W8 it was called jaseuk now its just jaseu. Any ideas as its bugging me?

Anyone able to answer this please? Can you check your folders and let me know if its how its meant to be. ta

no, if you have retail win 7/8 key you are fine with win 10. you may need to ring them as usual tho.

look at ace modders link

Mine has just prompted me to upgrade on my laptop. It's downloading Win 10 but not much has happened in a while now it's stuck at 0%. Will just leave it as I imagine the servers are melting...

It seems to be downloading everything even though I had a large pre-load folder ?

You need the new RSA key. Edit the batch file and replace the Crypto RSA key with this one.

That fixed it, thanks

It's only missing a K...

To be honest why not just use the ISO file Microsoft have released officially?

Quick question for anybody that has done the upgrade and then fully reset it, what is the installation size of Windows 10 roughly?

All three of our laptops have done the Win 10 download. However my main PC wont do it because it still says I can not have Win 10 because I have a 980TI!!!!
My sons laptop this morning did a small windows update and as soon as I rebooted it the download started so I dont think my PC is not due for the download it just wont.
I've either missed an update or something. Looks like I am going to have to google it. I might just do the ESD thing using the laptops download or download the ISO and do it that way.

lol I know but its so annoying

So can I not activate Windows 10 clean install using my Windows 7 Pro key?

nope, not first time.

You need to upgrade the first time, but future installs can be clean, due to using a hardware ID snapshot that MS store when you have upgraded for the first time.

Nvm, mine has failed on preparing to install :/

 

[anything I don't mind]

Still waiting on the new MDT release. http://blogs.technet.com/b/msdeployment/

No update for 4 months. New version should be any day now.

It almost seems as though it's random who it assigns the download too. After a few attempts people eventually seem to be able to download it.
