Got myself a nice clean install of Windows 10, no issues whatsoever now.

Great stuff, that is what it is all about!

Question is does GPU-Z 8.4 work correctly with Win 10 ? We know it needs updating sometimes when new GPU's etc comes out what about a new OS ?

Cant install 8.1 as my key is for 8 and cant upgrade 8 to 10(from what I could see).

Anyway, trying the iso now.

Use the generic Windows 8.1 key for the 8.1 install. Then you Windows 8 key will activate just fine, got know why Microsoft did it like that :confused:

Has anyone successfully moved their personal folders onto another drive without the weird folder duplication problem?

Yes, Went to this PC and right clicked the folders and changed locations. When asked if i wanted to move the files to them locations i said Yes. I also changed where new files are sent in the settings to the other drive.

Windows 10 which drivers

My motherboard is a Z97 Pro gamer but all the windows 10 drivers (chipset, audio, lan etc) all seem to be BETA drivers

Is it possible to download newer chipset drivers direct from intel, I've done a search but can't find anything

What happens when you guys make a new document in one of the moved folders? Do any of the corresponding folders get duplicated in the file explorer sidebar? Documents, Pictures etc.

I got fed up waiting, so I went to Microsofts Windows 10 download page and upgraded using that. It went very well and I have to say, I like Windows 10 a lot. Even the start menu with the live tiles is pretty good.

Perfect install

That link is to a private torrent site

Yeah i fixed it, it added a redirect url when i copied the link.

Well despite disabling windows from installing driver updates automatically it looks like it's doing it anyway. System locks up and low and behold Intel HD4000 is enabled again with drivers installed...

Promisingly, instability seems to have been cured by re-installing (updating?) my chipset drivers direct from MSI.
