Bodo Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I'd want to do a clean install, but my upgrade is still in the waiting phase... On the subject of clean installs, though, how do you retrive the product key that's 'traded in' when you upgrade?

Rangi Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I'd want to do a clean install, but my upgrade is still in the waiting phase... On the subject of clean installs, though, how do you retrive the product key that's 'traded in' when you upgrade? I have tried a key finding batch file on 3 different upgraded machines and they all report the same product key. Microsoft is saying you won't need a key to do a clean install, windows just knows your machine has had a win 10 install on it before. I am on phone sorry no link at the moment. So don't change hardware at same time as clean install and you should be right to go. PC: 6600K @ 4.5 GHz, 12GB RAM, GTX 970, 32" 2K monitor.

I dont know whether it has somethings to do with Win 10, but I am always downloading the Software and the Modules via Torrent (using utorrent). It is working on Win10 very well too.

Spetz Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Just upgraded tonight from win7 on my Alienware Aurora R4 with zero issues. All games and programs work perfectly and just messing around with it for an hour or so I think I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbelter Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I like the tablet mode of windows X on my convertible. On my gaming rig, things run just as well as on windows 8.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonDrapr Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Windows 8.1 upgrade to Windows 10 = all DCS DRM/keys survived without de/re-activation. Win 10 is just like an ordinary kernel patch. Something GNU/Linux does every day... twice. Framerate is great. New Kernel Scheduler is smarter about balancing threads, it seems. Few framerate improvements. Those, not talked about, 'hidden' feature/updates are always worth switching OSes. You won't read about them on any tech website. Even Microsoft engineers are rarely talking about them. Nvidia/Windows drivers are ok. Some Monitor related features are lost (no more downsampling for me. 2nd graphic card (mixed gpu) was disabled by Windows OS - so much for mixed gpu setups). Worked in Win Vista/7/8.1. Maybe a new driver issue. As for DX12 - DX12 'features' are mostly API related and are nothing you/gamers will actually 'see'. It's not like DX8 to DX9 prettier. It's great for developers, if they know how and can dig closer to the metal. Everyone should switch to OpenGL/Vulcan anyway, imo. ExtremeTech had a great article for mainstream users, translating marketing speak to common tongue. Googlebing if you are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Python Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 My update has failed, error code C1900204... Nothing is ever easy for me. I suspect CCleaner messed up my registry some time back as I've been having a few niggling problems for months now such as programs not showing in the Control panel >> uninstall a program. A potential fix for this is changing the default install path to the drive windows is on, but having entered the registry, I don't have ProgramFilesDir to change this... Given it is midnight I'll sleep on this and try again tomorrow rather than sit here pulling my hair out. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hesynergy Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Each time I plug the TIR USB plug, windows 10 tries to locate the driver but it ends as 'unknown device' and the software of TrackIR does not recognize it (no device detected). So that's why I ask if I'm alone in this case. Same problem here...did In- place upgrade...over Win7 Pro. Ran prepared 3-D just fine but sure did miss my TrackIr...Reinstalled the 5.22 software, still "no device detected" Have you solved your TrackIr problem yet?

Python Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 So my SSD failed on me, it seems that was the reason I couldn't upgrade. I have now installed a new Samsung 1tb 850 evo SSD and re-installed windows 7. But my Windows 10 upgrade has disappeared from the bottom right corner, any ideas? I am under the impression it has to be installed from there, or can I simply download and install it myself without the invite?

blackbelter Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I am having a very weird issue on my convertible (vaio duo 13) with Win X. Windows key shortcuts (win+x, win+q, win+space etc.) triggers the start menu as well as the shortcuts. Sometimes only the start menu is triggered. This probably is a campatibility issue between vaio notebooks and Win X. It is not a big deal, but is annoying. So far I haven't found a solution...

Python Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Try doing it this way mate, should work same but this way you will have a physical disk to hand. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install Thanks, the invitation returned a few days after posting so I have just upgraded to Windows 10. I'm in two minds, it seems quite smart and what not. But the first thing I saw is a candy crush app which killed the experience a bit, why is that rubbish here? I'm not a fan of the apps etc at all but at least they aren't as intrusive as on windows 8. I also can't seem to change the default program for opening jpegs, I'm trying to set Irfanview which is far superior to the windows photo viewer. If I change the option within Irfanview, it doesn't save. And if I go to the windows default page, irfanview is not an option, just windows photo viewer, paint and the app store. Am I missing something? Simple things like putting photos and music folders where they were in Windows 7 also seems like a chore, but I'm sure I'll figure it out... Mixed bag so far. I probably would have stayed with Windows 7 if I'd tried 10 out before installing. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconSarnie Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I couldnt say mate, I've got 2 machines at home, one is still running 7 and the one Im on now is running 8.1 but with start8 to make it look and act like Windows 7. I will at some point upgrade both to 10, but it will be when Im forced to, probably just before they free upgrade becomes payable.
