Windows 10

In your position I'd try a few cold reboots, wait to see if things get recognised and driver installed, then possibly reinstall Windows supplying the drivers at the beginning of the reinstall, and maybe installing drivers after install but before the first reboot.

Maybe do a lot of googling to see if anyone else has come up with a solution? Was yours an upgrade from an old installation of Windows? There's a lot of corruption that can sneak into an old installation, even though it still seems to be running okay, and then an upgrade gets things wrong trying to keep the old setup. Possibly a clean install will get it right.

Free upgrade from Windows 7. I saw earlier a link to make an ISO copy for a fresh install....but can you do that as a free upgrade user?

I agree, generally a fresh install is preferable. If all else fails, I have my win 7 disk to revert to and start over.

Once it's installed via upgrade and logged at MS, your PC is effectively fingerprinted at MS, and a fresh re-install from USB/disc should activate again. I dunno if that would fail if you've never been able to log into the PC after the first upgrade install.

Everytime I try run the update via windows up date it fails, and that's the method via the cmd, then I tried to download the media tool from Microsoft and I get a error code with text saying '' something happened ''

any idea?

Grab the ISO and put it on a USB with Rufus and boot off it. You can then chose to upgrade from that.
 
Finally got Windows 10 to look good!

System and Applications sure, but plastering all your games like that seems a bit if a waste. Don't they just all launch Steam anyway on which case just use Steam?

IIs that Tile Creator app what you have used?

They don't all use steam to launch, some use Origin and uPlay, but I don't like the idea of having three different platforms to launch games from, i've got Origin/Steam/Uplay open in tray anyway, so when i launch a game from the start menu, Origin/Steam/Uplay don't pop up as they're running in the background anyway. Just means i can one click a game and it'll load.

Before using the start menu as a "game-launcher" i used to use LaunchBox, which technically did the same thing as this did, but it didn't minimize to tray, so had to open it manually everytime i launched a game. This for me is more practical.

Yeah, Tile Creator, its pretty early in the development though.
 
True, makes sense and means you don't have to admit to yourself that you have Origin and UPlay installed :p

Might have a look at Tile Creator. I've not bothered to really do anything with my start menus as I've got used to not using one (all my regular apps are pinned to the task bar), but your game launcher concept actually makes really good sense now ive thought about it more :).

Looks interesting where can it be found?
 
Slipd, we had that on some of our Work upgrades and its to do with the language packs. The UK install doesn't have the US language pack in it so if your 8 or 7 install is using the US pack it will remove it.

Didn't cause any issues though, we just said OK and it went on fine.
 
Well had W10 on my laptop for over a week now, very happy with it. Not going to do a clean install on my desktop as that's still on the Insider Preview, and I'm getting BSOD all the time now.

The only problem I've found is you can only use small/medium sized tiles, Large and Wide aren't supported, then again any size bigger would probably make it look over crowded with so many games. :eek:
