Activated now. Redid it and just skipped entering a key, seems to work better that way.

Good shout, just done the same and it's activated after the 12th click.
This is actually really smooth and responsive on my laptop considering it's 4 years old.
Office 365 installed, setup my Google Apps accounts on the built in mail app and all is running good.
Glad it worked for you also.
And agreed, from what I have seen so far Win 10 does look to be a nice OS.

Left my laptop on for 24 hours, nothing! So downloading via USB tool thingy.. gave me the option to upgrade on there too. But downloading onto a USB drive for a clean install.

Finally got mine activated but I want do a clean install now. Whats the best method to do this?
Any ideas of how to get the Windows 10 Reservation app to open?
I've yet to reserve it on my laptop which my parents use however it wasn't on a legit Windows 7 and as such I've reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium with a genuine activated licence which is a Acer OEM licence.
All updates and SP1 installed, done multiple checks and I've used the MS GW10AppDiagnostic tool but nothing.

You need to upgrade first or it wont work!
Read through and try this

Start menu > settings > update & security > recovery > reset this pc and choose keep nothing.
Why?

Upgrade killed my PC 
There may have been some degree of user error involved but it rolled back to Windows 8 and then it upgraded fine a second time.

Do the upgrade first, then after activation a clean install

Fresh install with 'en_windows_10_enterprise_x64_dvd_6851151.iso'.
All the data collection stuff is still included which is a bit weird considering Microsoft said it would only be used for the insider builds.
That aside it's running really well, fast boot, fast at desktop, gaming seems improved even with older DX stuff. Def best Windows so far imho. Good stuff.

Just updated to win 10 from 8.1. Really nice however with the latest GeForce drivers Geforce Experience says
Sorry, Geforce experience cannot optimise games on this pc.
I'm guessing its just a driver bug as its correctly detecting my specs but seems to think my sli'd 670s arnt compatible

Correct. Needs to be activated after upgrade and then one can do a clean install

Yes over the top. Once its activated though your free to wipe it clean and just install 10.
How do you tell?
Surely somebody will come up with a way to disable the data collection stuff?

Get your wallet out!!
I'll just have to figure out booting from USB and reinstall. Tried in the past but never got it working.
