Mine is now activated thanks to Dreamspark 
Windows 10
- Thread starter Glaucus
- Start date
Have been running through the Microsoft tool. Just restoring the windows 7 installation back to its factory fresh restore point then will try again using the iso method I think.
Hardware wise it's a few years old, an i3 Samsung Q330 so not exactly new!

Done a clean install of windows 7 on my laptop then upgraded from that with no issues speeded it up loads!
My PC tho has had to be rolled back to 8.1 as the start menu refused to open and if I right clicked anything it locked up that window so going to back up what I need and then give it a clean install and hope it's all ok, Has been a while since 8.1 was wiped clean infact I think that was when I first upgraded to 8 so can understand a few issues

Your hardware is fine then
Yeah, using the ISO I made caused some issues on a clean.upgrade, stumped as to why.
Downloaded the ISO from the Microsoft Website, and everything is spot on.

Just installed. Looks cool
One question - do I need to install MSE for the anti-virus? Or does 10 have something built in?
No, windows 10 already has it built in. But it can't spot an elephant in a living room you see

The solution is windows defender and Malwarebytes.
And elephant couldn't knock over a pc with this on.
Create a schedule task to force update daily for defender in admin tools.
easy.

Got my S3 back on 8.1, went to do the upgrade the "proper" way.
Get stuck on 15% and copying files 52%.
Flipping heck MS, these are brand new clean installs. Useless!
Might just leave it till the morning and just download the media creator tool again, that at least worked before (Bar it having no Windows 10 key)

Are you wanting to call her 'Gloria' or maybe 'Janet' that has a ring to it.
Or even Betty, the options could be endless!
On a serious note, you can change what you get called, but can't changed Cortana's name.

Ask siri how to change Cortana's name Bet they are having a chat in cyberspace with each other.

Siri will be offended

What is truly bizarre is that windows thinks my current product key is a different one to what is actually on my win 8.1 box.
I've tried entering a new key, but it's not having any of it.

Edge is pretty good but without any extensions like chrome has it is useless to me.
