Windows 10

[Danny091]

Perfect, I'll do this tomorrow

You no longer need the serial once it has activated for any more installs on the same pc

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.

Strange if I run "dxdiag" and then look at the version it shows as 11.3? This a clean install with the latest Nvidia drivers installed.

Do you have to do anything with AHCI in the BIOS if you are using an SSD?

 

[koolpc]

Got a clean install working and activated on a new SSD.
you had to do the upgrade then activate it then find out the product key (which is new) then use that product key to activate the new install.

I thought it uses your original key not give you a new one at the end of it?

Upgrade > Activate > Clean Install > Activate

All with the same key?

Didn't use my windows 7 key, wouldn't accept it. I had to download a slightly dodgy program to tell me what it was after I activated the windows 10 upgrade.

Hmmm something very odd with Windows 10 download size, a day ago it was downloaded 5GB, last time it was 8GB and now it 10GB?

Last time...

They might have changed the download as when you use the ISO it also downloads more updates before the install so they could have incorporated these updates in the download ?

Okay, shows DX12 if I disable MFAA in the Nvidia control panel.

and you seriously think they remembered to update dxdiag to recognise DX12? That will be another windows update...

 

[opethdisciple]

Any reason I want to keep windows.old and not delete it?

Would've thought so, it was about a 1-2GB day one patch.

 

[ThundyCat]

Anyway to stop automatic updates?

 

[Oh Ed not again.]

C:/ Properties - Disk Clean Up - Clean Up System Files - Windows Temp Downloads (Can't remember proper name) - tick box - Ok - Delete Files - Yes - Reboot - Gone

Yep that did it, nice one.

Anyone used the inbuilt recording app yet.

Just launched Kerbel and Win 10 tip on screen stating press win+G key for game app.

Allows you to record, take screenshot and something else which I forget right now ..
