Well, that's the dirty deed done at last. Decided to install using the media creation tool and all seems to be fine. All my apps ( including gaming stuff like steam ) seem to be working ok, and all hardware recognised and working fine. Coming from Windows 7 I feel it's going to take me a bit of time getting used to Windows 10 if I'm being honest. Cortana feels like a gimmick to me ( don't use Siri on my iPhone for reference ). Now to have a good look at settings and switch off sharing wifi etc lol.
Windows 10

Mine is doing that with the Intel HD4000 driver, from looking around there's actually no way to stop it installing drivers automatically, that option I've shown in the above screenshot doesn't even work...
Do i need my product key? not sure where to even find the bloody thing lol.
Happened to me too. Close explorer and open it again, then it oddly fixed itself after doing that.

Right here are some screen shots, apologies if they are awful I am doing this off of my iPhone.
Here's to show how the folders are setup:
Here's what happens when I create just a blank text document:
Then once I've deleted the text document:
And finally this is what happens when I click on 'This PC' and press F5 to refresh:
No. But, if you want to know it, open Command Prompt and copy and paste this in to get product key:
wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey
is anyone having issues downloading the isos from microsofts site?
I downloaded w10 home 64 bit when I had W7 installed with no issues.
now I need to get W10 pro 64 bit but the tool keeps failing to validate the download after its downloaded it then looses the iso.
tried different locations on the PC to save too, renaming the file and leaving it as default but all failed.
64 bit tool loads but the 32 bit one shows a blank error box
getting from here and downloading as a iso format not usb stick

Yes, I did something naughty and found my old laptop out which doesnt work (faulty screen) and used the Windows 7 Pro OEM key from that, installed windows 7 pro and licensed it with my OEM key from my laptop and then upgraded to 10 that way.
Normally I would not abuse the OEM licensing, but to be honest the way MS blocked my key and how I was dealt wiht yesterday; ****-them.
don't blame you Ace, why pay when they are unwilling to help and you have a key anyway!
I would try this;
Go to settings > system > storage
Change all of the Send new documents to your D? drive.
Open your D drive, Create a new folder that is Exactly the same as your Username (if doing the above did not make one) Now move your documents folders into the one with your name.
Update the links the old fassion way to the folders that are now in D:\<username>\
This is the steps i did.
Go to the FAQ thread (pinned at the top of the forum) you can download the ISO's from mega in there.
Looks like MS has released a tool so you can hide updates you don't want to install http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/2/2/F22D5FDB-59CD-4275-8C95-1BE17BF70B21/wushowhide.diagcab
Noticed the exact same thing. I then ran Heaven and Valley as well as a few games and my GPU was then properly running on overclocked speeds. I can only guess the GPU purposely under clocks itself when running 3dmark.
didnt work :/ never mind! Thanks
