DOWNLOAD WINDOWS 10 NOW - Upgrade and ISO direct from microsoft

MxPhenom 216 · Aug 3, 2015

Got the upgrade for my Surface 3. So far enjoying it. I like the Edge browser actually, might not need to use Chrome anymore. There are a few little quirks and kinks with the overall experience of the OS in general but to be expected being and early adopter/upgrade.

afterupgrading to w10 you need to sign in with a microsoft account and on the activation screen click store then click the little activate/see if there is a valid licence for my hardware button in the store app

Im signed in. I see nothing in the store related to activate/see. Under activation its says its activated in the settings/ update and security

I upgraded 4 computers today.
-HP drivers for PhotoSmart 6280 had a hissyfit on 2 out of 3 computers.
-I successfully installed ATI HD 42## drivers via Windows 8 Catalyst 13.1 via extracting then installing through Device Manager.
-Windows 10 appears to always install Internet Information Services (IIS) for no apparent reason.
-OneDrive is a dick. I used the tweak from the tweak thread to remove it and it is on a per-user basis making it super annoying.
-I highly recommend uninstalling HP printers and AMD drivers before upgrading to Windows 10 because the uninstallers will break.
-One computer said "not activated" at first. I clicked on the thing and it prompted for a key. I obviously don't have one. I closed it and 15-30 seconds later, it changed to "activated."
-two of these computers have a Hotmail account for administrator account (rarely used); otherwise they all have local user accounts. I don't see much point in not using a local user account unless you intend to use Cortana.
-Both DVDs that had "Both" x86 and x64 failed to install. If you're going to burn a DVD, I think you have to choose x86 or x64. It seems like the installer doesn't know what to make of a dual layer disk. I had no problems installing via USB (copied files over so the stick would be free).
-All 4 systems were in-place upgrades. I haven't tried to do a clean install yet.

You don't think this is a disservice?
If you haven't received the notification yet, it is because the WU utility has deemed your system incapable of running W10.
I'm expecting a run of stupid questions now, wondering why they have issues.

My girlfriend didn't get the notification. Then I suggested she restore her hidden updates. She installed the latest internet explorer, low and behold the icon popped up minutes later. Go figure, eh?

Screw GWX. I didn't use it on any of the 5 computers I upgraded. GWX only exists to try to prevent people from hammering Microsoft's download servers.

As mentioned previously, Updates have to be turned on.

I think it also allows them time to tweak things on their end based on feedback.
It wouldn't make sense to dump an OS on everyone at the same time if there were issues.
My Laptop with an APU is still waiting.

All good reefer thx for the link

Well i installed W10 on the 1st day it was released and it ran well considering it was a upgrade.

Now i thought you might had to wait the 30 days before doing a clean install which i didn't, i did how ever wait until today to try a clean install and it activated right away.

My version is Win7 Pro OEM

When you did the clean install did you use your W7 code during the W10 install? Want to make sure I don't screw up my codes.

I'm getting ready to upgrade my office computer W7->W10, after that i'm going to go from a HD to SSD on the clean install 850 EVO, my first SSD never used one

Just downloaded MediaCreationToolx64.exe can I DL W10 Pro and will it work also on W10 home?

cadaveca · Aug 5, 2015

The media creation tool lets you download any version, AFAIK.

When you activate, do ti wit ha WIndows Live account. This saves the hardware configuration into your profile, once once you log back in on the frehs OS, you can activate without any problems.

However, the change to SSD may pose a problem, as the hardware configuration will be different. I'd hold off on the upgrade.

Delta6326 · Aug 5, 2015

Oh OK, do the SSD first then upgrade? After that it should be clean enough any so won't have to reinstall again.

Windows 7 i did use my win7 key then i installed win10 upgrade activated after about 6 hours ( all so put win10 on a USB key using the MediaCreationTool ) which today i formatted the win10 install and booted of the USB key. Just look on the bottom left for small print to skip entering the key lol.

I would make sure the upgrade activates before trying a clean install.

I was surprised how fast it was actually activated tbh.

Yeah, due to the way this upgrade is done (swaps out WIndows folder), I don't see any reason to worry if you move to SSD first before the upgrade. The box I am typing from now was done in that exact fashion.. drive upgrade then OS, and I haven't looked back.
