Windows 10

@Varkanoid, the only big space saver in disk cleanup for me, is the "previous installation" of 27GB, kinda worried to remove it.. Would it be safe to do so? I know it may seem an odd question.

If you want to rollback to your old O/S within 30 days you will have screwed yourself, and will have to reinstall it if you remove it. Nothing 'dangerous' about removing it though.

It's safe. I just did it and then it made me realise how tiny the Windows 10 install is!

Windows 7 was using about 28GB of space, but 10 is 13GB for me at the moment! I've never seen so much free space on my 64GB SSD before (46GB vs 28GB).

Changed the colour scheme to the darkest grey I can find, and I must say it makes the entire OS look more professional. Loving the OS so far.

The solution involves calling Microsoft, being passed off, transferred, cut off etc, and then finally so much rage that you throw your PC out the window. AKA... problem solved.

(sorry I have no idea).

Rufus would be the best choice

 

[Throrik]

Everything went smoothly for me - decided to do an upgrade and then a full refresh, just re-installing development tools and battle.net and then will probably re-install Office tomorrow.

Cheers guys!

Perfect, cheers.

ISO downloading now, will give that a go. Certainly more hopeful of this method! Must have downloaded win 10 about 8 times now via the media creator app!

Has anyone had problems with a system reserved partition being put onto a secondary non-windows drive?

 

[ChrisD.]

Been trying since 6 to upgrade and I've encountered various issues. Diabolical.

Same here, NVidia driver from windows updates just says failed and will retry later.

I thought the update had gone well but Cortana is missing in action and edge doesn't work. Back to 8.1 for me.

Its your old Windows folder. Probably c:\windows.old. If you remove it you cant revert back to your previous Windows.
So if you want to remove it make sure Windows 10 is a keeper first.
I can't install Windows 10 at the moment think I will stick with 8.1

 

[Drake5]

Is it possible to download the Windows 10 iso

As I will need to format tomorrow

 

[Martini1991]

Think they should have just issued everyone keys.
Given people an ISO.

And went "Install"

 

[Tephnos]

Man, Cortana still uses that lame UK voice? I wanted me some Jen Taylor
