Guess that's there for those that can't get past the Abacus stage.

The modern calculator 'App' is gross.

The OG calculator is much better

Plus its not free? Or am i wrong?

You can test out a free trial of LTSB here >>> https://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/evalcenter/dn781239.aspx Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB Evaluation is available in 32 and 64-bit ISO versions.

Not sure if this trial can be fully activated though, but if it's just to test will be fine.

Google is the best bet, just type in the ISO name that you want. I.e >> en_windows_10_enterprise_2015_ltsb_x64_dvd_6848446 .iso

Get the SHA1 code from MSDN downloads >> https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/downloads/hh442898.aspx and compare them here >> http://onlinemd5.com/ to confirm the ISO is legit and untouched.

A mate of mine has dropped off a laptop where he started the upgrade process to Windows 10 via the icon in the system tray.

The laptop kept blue screening.

Where do I get the product key from to do a clean install?

I can't upgrade, the installation is borked.

 

[koolpc]

But you can download the ISO from the link. Burn to DVD. Boot from it and select upgrade?

Going to have a bash and install this later today. Just one question though, I have a Z77 board so do I need to install the RST drivers?

Do you guys recommend me to upgrade to windows 10 from windows 7? Will games like CS GO, BFH, Minecraft, work? Also will I have all of the programs and files stay on my computer and move to windows 10 or will they get deleted?

you have to upgrade from W7 SP1 or W8.1 before you can do a clean install of W10 so yes, upgrade from W7 to W10

as long as you do the upgrade you should be fine. I kept everything on my system after upgrading to W10 but then did a clean install

I have no issues with any of my steam games, I play csgo, killing floor 2 and have most of the lego games for my son
