Are you fully up to date, along with optional updates also?

Yes. However internet explorer 11 for windows is the ONLY update that fails (some updates were not installed) its been doing this for a very long time actually. just wont install IE 11.

""Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems

Download size: 56.3 MB"""

It just goes in to a constant failed loop, whether I reboot or not.
 
So, running it happy still this morning. Must admit I'm a big fan of how google can be integrated into the default calendar easily.

And the apps not running in the background after closing them like on 8 is great! Might actually use them now in conjunction with the action centre notifications being real nice!

Yep it's the onboard GPU on my CPU causing the problems again, uninstalled HD 4000 in device manager through safe mode and it's fine. Hopefully W10 doesn't automatically try and install the driver for it again.

I had this issue even ended up with my GPU out and many reinstalls of both 7 and 10 argh if only I had known :p
 
On the asus website it's showing a BETA chipset driver for the windows 10 chipset driver, is it possible to download the chipset driver from intel directly

It's showing all the windows 10 drivers as BETA drivers

Honestly i would make a backup and just go download the iso and run it as if you where upgrading. Im not convinced you even have to reserve it.

If it doesnt work and wont activate you can just recover from your back up but honestly i think it will work.

Definitely don't need to reserve. I didn't. I just downloaded the ISO and upgraded from DVD.
 
Just a couple of points, rectified most of my issues now through a second clean install which worked a treat so far. Now I can use bittorrent again and don't have the root\NetTap6 driver missing in device manager.

I think Private Internet Access may have been th cause for the NetTap 6 issue, not sure what was causing the issues with bittorrent.

My current issue is that my speakers aren't being recognised, I'm hoping this is just a temporary issue with compatibility. Is anyone else having dramas? Not seen a W10 troubleshooting thread as yet and don't think i can be bothered starting one just yet as it will just become the step child of this one 'when can i get W10? why won't it download? etc'. Maybe start one next week when the chaos of activation has drifted by

Does anyone know how to delete the Windows.old folder? It's saying I need permission from SYSTEM to do so?

If you don't need any of your old files, right click on C: drive and choose Disk Cleanup. Then click on the clean up system files button. It will let you click previous windows installations.
 
To anyone mentioning the double settings screen when trying to install 10, I got that too.

Thinking they buggered up and duplicated that part for some reason. Silly MS.
 
Not had any activation problems following upgrade from 8.1, however I did have a blocked key error yesterday trying to activate after a clean install. I restored my 8.1 system image backup and upgraded again to 10 again and activated fine.

I do wonder how long it takes for the hardware ID to register. Has anyone done a back to back upgrade followed by a clean install activation without problems?

Just creating a Win 10 (upgrade) system image backup at the moment. Will try another clean install today and see if it lets me activate.
 
Probably old news but I just realised you can scroll on non-active windows! Discovering quite a few very nice touches in Win 10 :)

The MS servers have been hammered because of Win 10 so it is taking some time for some people to get the OS activated.
 
Im downloading windows 10 64 bit now. However, on the download page it says

"If you will be installing the operating system for the first time, you will need your Windows product key (xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx). For more information about product keys and when they are required, visit the FAQ page.""

Is that MY WINDOWS 7 KEY?
