    Once upgraded Microsoft will make it a genuine authorised copy of 10. They also assign a unique hardware id to your computer so in theory you can then do a clean install and it won't ask you to register, authorise etc, ever. However I want to do a clean install onto a new ssd so it will be interesting to see how that goes.

    Although it has been confirmed that using the existing Microsoft toolkit 2.5.3 it activates windows 10. Although this will be as a volume corporate license. The new version 2.6 with direct win 10 support is due any day.

    Yeah H. I double-dicked myself now having downloaded some Micro$haft update in a desperate attempt to get the Win10 Flag in Sys-tray, & now I have a f'kin Micro$haft Account that converted my desktop "Hiya Kin No Log On" to....... (deep breath......Hommmmmmmm) "log me into Micro$shaft Account so I can get free Apps & whoopie-mother-f'kin bollocks-sh!t for free ffs"...... (exhale.........)

    For the dear life in me, I can't suss out which fricking "Update" is the perpetrating the event!! - Yes folks, Windows 8.1 doesn't tell u Jack about the update it installed unless you look up the KB number it has associated with it! - Well that's fine Bill, excuse me whilst I just trawl through 275 Windows KB #'s @ 3.3GB's of your BS updates!

    Wish I'd stayed on my " Arrrr Jim Lad 7 Ultimate" & not bothered with 8.1.......
    I took an FPS hit on Tri SLI GTX670's for that.......

    NOT a happy chappy atm.

    I now have a corrupt backup of Win 8.1 with an installed Win 10 over.

    I let it do it's thing over the Web via Windows Update. After getting to the desktop for the first time, "Classic Start Menu" prompted to reconfigure. All good so far.

    More drive space, still a dicked log on for a Micr0$haft account.

    I decided to run DazLoader 2.2.1 & grabbed the New CD Key under Win 10 Home. It doesn't recognise the OS but the CD key appears ok. It didn't support 8.1 but told me the CD Key spot on.

    Next event will be a fresh install from pen drive & use the key DazLoader reported. Hopefully will know this weekend.

    *edit*

    This morning, I found an option in Win 10 to revert back to a "Log onto this Computer" instead of a "Microsoft account". - Happy days!

    I don't understand why it was so difficult for you. I've not had any such issues with Windows 10 yet.

    My general server (seeding, download, test server) upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate (genuine via Windows Toolkit 2.5.3) upgraded without issue and didn't even need graphic drivers updated. All applications continue to work.

    Only think I did do is reinstall sidebar.exe to get back Windows gadgets on the desktop as I like to have Core Temp running in one, and time/date.

    And my wife's Windows 8.1 based Sony laptop upgraded fine too.

    Plus another PC I use for mostly testing Linux and other OSs and emulation.

    I've not yet upgraded my main gaming PC. That's still running on 7 Ultimate. I really wanted to do a clean install of 10 on a new SSD, but I've heard a lot of problems with people trying to do a clean install to a new drive. I will be trying it though. If it fails I will just install 7 then upgrade it.

    I'm hoping to do a clean install this next time, but my weekend only really started today. Still struggling to find a suitable & working Hax0rd programme for backing up. Any suggestions H?

    Do you mean to backup your existing OS before the upgrade?

    Acronis True Image is still one of the best to create a full OS image to do a direct partition replacement if anything goes wrong.

    Yeah but all is good, of a fashion. I always use to be an Acronis man but the program has always failed for me, even to the point where the front end appears to be ok & you can actually back-up (RAID partitions as well) the image always ended up corrupted....

    Thank's Shoons. Got meself EaseUS Todo Backup Workstation v7 0 Multilingual Incl Keygen. Worked a treat.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Even a newer 2.2.2 Daz Loader discovered CD Key won't work with the version downloaded to Pen Drive. - Gah!

    Going to try making another USB Windows 10 thing again. I might not have selected the Home version originally. Might have been the Pro.... hence my key not working.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Yep. It worked!

    I'd downloaded something other than Win 10 Home using that Media Creation Tool thingy.

    One clean install.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Under Settings, be sure to set Updates to this Local Network, otherwise your Home Network starts broadcasting all your updates to the Internet.

    Here is an article detailing some things to check and decide if you want to turn off in Windows 10.

    http://windows.wonderhowto.com/inspi...ws-10-0163552/

    When I checked though them all most were already set to off, so I'm wondering if this is how Pro is setup, whereas it would be interesting to know from someone running home if they are all on by default.

    Only things I needed to change were:

    1, Set Windows to ask when a reboot after updates was needed. By default it will just reboot, even whilst you are using it (I remember this behaviour from back in the early XP days).

    2, Set updates to only share locally between my systems and not share "seed" to others online, ala Torrent.

    3, Select Background apps I didn't want to start with Windows. Get Office is an obvious one to disable here.

    Other areas you might want to change the settings for are in Speech, inking and typing, where Cortana will keylog your system and sent everything to Bing and Cortana to build up a profile. I don't want this and I know many others here wouldn't either.

    Again the same for Microphone and Camera. Microsoft and it's Windows 10 apps can access these by default so they could be watching you if you have a camera and this active. 1984 anyone? I'm guessing this is mostly building on the Xbox and the Kinect system which learns about you via the camera and mic.

    And finally really make sure you check the General tab, privacy options.
