Why do I have to keep installing classicshell? I thought they fixed this. I like fast access to my programs and os options, like this:

MrGenius · May 21, 2015

Anyway...Build 10122 is currently installing. We'll see how that goes...

mastrdrver · Jun 23, 2015

So.....what's the consensus on W10 here?

I see some like it but it seems that there's an equal amount who think it's still bugged too much for release. I just got it on an old E350 Zbox today, but without drivers the "experience" is pretty meh.

Having the same old stuff from Windows NT, like control panel structure and admin tools (still no "search" in p.e. Services admin? come on Nandella!) is a bit frustrating... Maybe they fear angry admins complaining they do not finding buttons? :confused:

Can't wait to get windows 10

AlienIsGOD · Jun 23, 2015

Glad that I upgraded my main rig with the preview, I can just opt out of the program on the 29th and since I installed over windows 7 it will keep/read my serial key.

I have reserved my copy of Windows 10 through the notification icon that appears in older versions. Currently, I'm using a HDD, but would like to install windows 10 on a new SSD. Will I be able to do that or will have to install it on the current drive?

I don't think you'll be able to upgrade to a HDD or SSD that doesn't have an upgradeable OS already on it. What you have reserved is your place in line to upgrade from your current OS. Which is on the HDD.

However, you should be able to move your current OS to the SSD first before the upgrade, or after the upgrade has occurred. Cloning software is all that's required to do so. This would depend mainly on the current size of the OS, and if it will fit on the SSD. And secondly on whether or not the upgrade to 10 would increase that size beyond such limits. I can't give you much more details than that on the process. I've read it's doable to move/clone your OS to another HDD/SSD. But in my experience, with OSs later than XP, if you try doing so with an OEM version(of say Vista, 7, or 8/8.1), you'll end up with a non-genuine/inactivated/invalidated version of the OS on the new/different HDD/SSD. Maybe that's fixable somehow, I don't know(never tried). I also don't know about how that works with retail versions, as I've never owned one.

Installed the RTM on my Core2 e8600, with a slow IDE HDD. Boom, button push, screen on, logon, desktop...10-12 seconds?

This thing used to be, button, wait for it...Logon and go make something to eat, comeback, desktop. easily1 1/2 minutes. So, nice.

Then I wanted to clean it up, with Dism.exe:
Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

It told me it did not recognize StartComponentCleanup. WTF? Then I realized I spelled component wrong, with a "a" instead of "e".

:wtf:

Worked the second time. :laugh:

As known this week you can install WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER from a betabuild.

Well, it works much better and out of the box than many alternatives.

AND: "Always on top" (reg editing) works with Win10, but it did not with 8!!!! I like to work with a tiny tv screen on top, for stuff like MotoGP...

AlienIsGOD · Nov 13, 2015

Fall Update is live

also trying out a hidden dark theme for settings and edge http://www.howtogeek.com/222614/how-to-enable-windows-10’s-hidden-dark-theme/

t_ski · Nov 13, 2015

Still wanting to make the switch on my main rig to Win10. I have two crunchers running it already and have a VM somewhere running in Hyper-V...

The way I did it was:

1- Get the upgrade and install. Let it activate.
2- Put the new SSD in and do a fresh install (use the upgrade tool to download an ISO image and use the W7 USB Download tool to make a bootable USB stick)

My W10 activated without problems.

The only thing I don't like about W10 is that the old Photo Viewer is gone

the Photos app has this semitransparent bar on top that doesn't go away. I'm using Xnview (it was what I used on 98SE and XP) but I would love if MS had kept the old viewer.

erixx · Nov 18, 2015

I am building a dual boot with win10pro and win10 home. one for work and one for games.
Step by step win10 RTM got worse, no idea why. Also my X99 board was not working well, too much warm reboot locks. Updating to November upgrade was a loop-hell, just like going from 8.1 to 10, i must be damned by nighly witches.... so I decided to reinstall from scratch.
Horrors:
1. The Media Creation Tool downloaded ... W10 pre-november, so again another step needed
2. During install NO USB keyboard or mice worked, be it usb2 or 3 ports. tested with all kb's inhouse. none worked. As this never happende before I tried removing bios battery, and adding a old usb2 port... it worked! (hopefully now my OC will also be much better, lol)
3. After win8 created 2 partitions on the left: Recover and Efi, win 10 created another on the right of the system partition.
Is there a way to know if anything at all is inside these recovery partitions? Recovery never worked for me... I'd like to erase, leave only EFI...

Got 8" Toshiba Encore 2 Windows tablet over the thanksgiving weekend from MC for $50. Upgraded from 8.1 to 10. So far liking it. 1GB memory is hurting it.

Question: why does FaceBook App keeps crashing on 10? It opens the app, allows me to login and start to load the home page, then in about 5 secs closes the app. Uninstalled and reinstalled couple of times still the same.

Any way to run in admin mode?

t_ski · Dec 1, 2015

I know you can right-click on an icon to choose run as admin, but not sure now that happens on a tablet.

Regardless of the format, everyone seems to complain over and over about Facebook apps being doggy or eating up resources. Try uninstalling it and running it from a browser if you must.

That is how I am running it now. I simply ask Cortana to open Facebook lol.

I uninstalled and reinstalled, this time it works.

Anyone using build 14295,or do i have to be the one that does it? Not doing it on my main rig maybe the laptop ......

mastrdrver · May 17, 2016

Is there a way to fix 1511 after it's installed other than a reinstall?

My current problems right now:
1) Nothing in the start menu works. As in I open it and click on something it will never open. Further, the start menu will never open again no matter how many times i click it until I restart.
2) I can't open Edge. The browser window will open, but it will stay that blue color for every and never show me a webpage or allow me to do anything.

I've tried opening command prompt with admin rights, but for some reason it tells me that Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service when I type "sfc /scannow".

I'd rather not reinstall since I've got a few programs on here that I got for free thanks to the giveaway of the day website.

Thanks for any help.

Solaris17 · May 17, 2016

you can try the built in windows repair. I forget if its refresh or reset.

alternatively you can try

Admin Powershell

SFC /scannow

then

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
