LOl! I only game on windows.

Just disconnect from internet (unplug the cable) before booting to play your games on Windows 10... That should avoid most (if not all) spying techniques.

That is if they do not have other (more sophisticated) methods for getting your data. I'd be surprised if they do... :confused:

All the world are forced to use Windows in one way or another (school, work, bank, services, certain types of hardware), there are people who do not need it and is forced to use it. I do not see why those people should pay to use something they are forced to.

Just my opinion. :mad:

@R-T-B
you don't need to input a key when doing a clean install simply select "skip" when it asks you the first time during initial-setup and click the "do this later" text in the lower left hand corner during the post install
inputting a key may cause you problems with the automagic activation because it can cause the activation id to change so you end up futzing around with the store app to get it to re-link your hwid with the activation id
usually its as simple as clicking the "store" button in the metro-activation screen and then clicking the little box that says activate it should go after a few tries ...

Took 22 minutes for me all up and running, although it will not activate and i knew it would kill my 3rd party firewall even if it did say it wouldn't lol.

Torrent app download would be faster

I may have to take my words back about "Microsoft being overconfident in the cloud/Azure..." cause they are keeping pace man.

I upgraded without issue. Is the Win 10 key the same as my Win 8 key? If not, where can I find the new Win 10 key?

I'm liking windows 10 so far... no gripes.... ^^

Steevo · Aug 2, 2015

My update on the Shutdown button has failed multiple times for multiple reasons, i will stick with Win 7 for now and when I get time update if it is worth it then.

After 30 days it will be.

I don't think so. All signs point to W10 using generic keys coupled with a HWID whitelist. Your Windows 8 key will thus always be different. It may however, cease to work...

Easy Rhino · Aug 2, 2015

Is anyone having issues with NVidia drivers? Whenever Win 10 loads the NVidia drivers do not load. However, when I go to install the drivers it fails to install but actually initializes the drivers. I have to do this almost every boot...

edit: nvm, fixed it with a clean NVidia install...

I was thinking, yes I know that is a scary thought, that when the 30 days is up and windows.old is deleted automatically, that the generic key also will go, and the HWID ties your existing key to the OS currently installed.
So your W8 or W7 key becomes the W10 key.

Easy Rhino · Aug 2, 2015

I could have swore I read that a new win 10 key was generating on upgrade and was not tied to anything.

Jetster · Aug 3, 2015

Just did a clean install. W7 key does not work

It said activated when I checked the upgrade. Well I guess ill install my back up and try again

FordGT90Concept · Aug 3, 2015

Short version: Microsoft ties a HWID to your Windows 7 or 8.1 key and all of these use a single Windows 10 key which tells Windows 10 to activate via HWID.

Long version: All Windows 7 and 8.1 keys upgraded to Windows 10 are the same. That key tells Windows to go to Microsoft to check the Hardware ID (HWID). In short, your key is irrelevant. If you are installing Windows and it asks for a key, you should be able to skip it putting Windows into trial mode until you activate. When you activate, it should look up the HWID and use it to confirm your system.

But there's a catch: Microsoft obviously doesn't have an HWID without it being given to them and the only way to generate a HWID is to upgrade to Windows 10 from a functional Windows 7/8.1 install. Clean stall is impossible using a Windows 7/8.1 key until after Microsoft has the HWID.

If it refuses to activate and you tried a clean install off the bat. You'll have to reinstall Windows 7/8.1 then run the update to Windows 10. Verify it activated by right-clicking "This PC" and selecting Properties. If it did and you really want to install clean at this point, you should be able to and it will successfully activate.

Note: I tried installing Windows 10 from DVD and it failed repeatedly. Only installing from a USB stick worked for me (in terms of removable media generated from ISO anyway).

Unless this is a new thing with Windows 10, windows old file does not automatically get deleted after 30 days, at least it never has any time I've done normal upgrade. Always had to get rid of it myself with Disk Clean up.

I'm in trial mode. Not sure what to do now. I did the upgrade then clean install.

No issues with DVD here, just did it again on a new board, even. It's rather interesting to see all these weird bugs pop up, to be honest.

Jetster · Aug 3, 2015

Weird. I insert by USB W7 install. Hit F12 for boot options, select the USB it skips it and W10 starts

Did you attempt to activate it via System properties?

Well, what the hell. The burn verified. By any chance, did you do the ISO with both x86 and x64? That might be what caused my problems because it jumped the disk from a DVD+R to DVD+R DL. In hindsight, I probably should have just downloaded and burned them all separately.

Sit and wait, or hammer the "Activate" button in System Properties. Mine wouldn't activate either, but it did after a few hours.
