Type "Windows Cleanup" in cortana then System Files when that pops up. You can clean out all the crap you don't need.

I hope in the pro version of 10 you'll at least be able to block driver updates for this very reason.

I believe the Professional and Enterprise versions allow you to control this.
remember when a few pages ago people were saying there wouldn't be machines with windows 10 until September because there's not enough time?

I have Windows 7 currently installed on a 120GB SSD, and I'm nearly out of damn room. I opted for Windows 10 weeks ago when prompted, so I'm really looking forward to it.
My question is, do you need a certain amount of space free for the upgrade? If so, how much? And also, how much space on my SSD will Windows 10 save compared to 7? I hear it's much smaller, and I'm really hoping that's true.
Thanks, and sorry if these are stupid questions.

So was there any announcements of stock install ISO's? I dont want to re-format and install Win 7 to upgrade. Seems like such a shit way of doing it....
Hey, at least you need to reformat and install win 7. I need to reformat and install win 7, then win 8, then win 8.1 and last win 10

Oh goddamnit have they still not fixed that shit in 10?
Some games do it, other assorted shit might do it, but my computer is really using a tiny fraction of it's CPU and memory every time it happens so I don't know what the fuck Windows is ever looking at, and it DOES NOT remember that I tell it to never show it again. It's so annoying.
Oh please, no. Fuck. Don't tell me this is still a thing.

I believe 10240 is RTM. Someone mentioned it earlier.
Is the update available now? Edit: Apparently it's available in Fast and Slow rings.

The blog says its available now, but its not showing up for me at all in either fast or slow rings.
Hang on, since when did kilo = 1024 *stop* being a thing??

I'm running the preview build for 10, but I'd like to go to the stable one on release by upgrading from my Windows 7 key. Does that mean I'll have to reformat, install Windows 7, then upgrade to 10?

I am wondering if you can put genuine keys in to activate Win 10 but somehow I don't think it will be that easy.

anyone know why my cursor is stretched like this?
It's only that cursor and thisthat are stretched. Normal arrow cursor is like it should. They were not stretched this morning but now they are. Pointer size is smallest possible in settings. What could cause this?
Just happened to me. I had everything (icons, text) get really big for a second, like my display driver failed and the res dropped. I downloaded a new driver, restarted, restarted again to get rid of a persistent crash in Edge, and now... stretched cursor. Odd.

confirmed to be RTM? if so i hope they don't disappear it. don't have my laptop on at home.
For those of you using Windows 10 recently, how buggy is it? I recently heard about some issues.
I just bought a 250gig SSD and a have a 2 year old install of windows 7 on a 360gig HDD just screaming to be formatted.
I wont lie, I have VERY cold feet. If I buy home edition will I regret it? And no I don't want to do the upgrade, full formatted and fresh install with a W10 DVD or bust.

No, it is not confirmed to be RTM by Microsoft, just people speculating.
But the build will stay up, it was legitimately released, not some accident, so it's not going anywhere.
So i am having some issues with my win 7 install and probably need to reformat (the dreaded classpnp.sys and startuprepairoffline issues).
But at this point should I just wait two weeks and go for a fresh Win 10 install or should I just install 7 and upgrade later? Or anyone has good fix suggestions for the issues? I tried the tech support thread with no luck.

Weird that the new build isn't showing up for me
Edit: I didn't realize that I needed to already be running windows 10 to get the new build. It shows up on my tablet so at least I will get to check it out.

I just got a new SSD and forgot this was in like 2 weeks. I guess I should wait see what happens. Ideally I'd like to just Upgrade my existing HDD install then like a week later do a fresh install of 10 right to the SSD. Although I don't know how driver support would look like. I gather we just use Windows 8/8.1 drivers.

Just installed build 10240, the build number and info on the lower right corner of the desktop has disappeared.
Edit: And the first security update, KB3074663, is already available

No idea, but mine does the same. It's rather annoying because I click wrong a lot more with the larger cursor.anyone know why my cursor is stretched like this?

We still can't change the background on the sign in section in this build, that's really disappointing as i really want it to match my desktop or be back to the solid color like it was.
Its pretty crappy that we are at 10240, and its still locked to that hero wallpaper.

It's the damn Nvidia driver that did it. It automatically installed via Windows Update to 353.50. I'd suggest trying to roll the driver back in your device manager. Just be warned though that the update will show up again the next time you check for updates... and if you plan on upgrading to today's build, you'll unfortunately see this shitty driver once more.

Windows RT Update 3 in September.
I wonder what it'll bring... An W8 environment but with the W10 app platform would be ideal, but they haven't said anything yet...

There isn't a white theme either yet right?
Yeah, it looks crap at 3440x1440 res as well.

And I'm in. Feels comfy.
Any reason I would want to do that?
Edit: NVM. I see how it works. I will probably want to opt out then.

Two weeks to go until public release. Should be at least a couple more builds between then I would imagine.
Most (except for Microsoft) have suggested that this is the RTM build. I'm guessing MS is simply taking a "wait and see" approach before declaring this build RTM.

If you turn off Insider Preview I think you need to have a Windows 10 genuine key at some point after July 29th or you need to have upgraded from a genuine version of Windows 8.1 or Windows 7.
W10 is activated as of this build.

My Thinkpad's WiFi stops working after waking up from sleep mode. A restart fixes it.
I think it was working fine on 7.
Any ideas?
