Upgrade to Windows 10?

Hello guys,

I am on Xbox App version 7.7.21024.00000 and can connect to the Xbox One fine. However I have absolutely no stream options (no Test Stream or any of the buttons on the connect screen).

And when I click "Stream games now" from the home screen I get:

Unable to stream because either the xbox app or your console needs to be updated. Make sure they are both up to date and try again.


I have checked for updates on both and both are up to date.

Any ideas?

I think streaming is just for xbox one preview members also check on your console that you allow streaming
 
Just got done trying out GTA V getting identical performance to win 8.1. Everything seems fine so far. I never upgrade OS on launch so I am a little nervous. But so far so good. I just hope it stays that way.
 
I keep getting the error - we couldnt update the system reserved partition...

ARGH!

Any ideas?

I tried some "fix" online abut creating a "Y" drive and inputting several prompts but that method has not worked!

Anyone??
 
Shall I download the media creation tool thing with the ISO and try reinstalling it that way? I won't need a product code will I if I already have win10? Well the shell of win10 that I currently have

Edit: you literally answered my question as I typed it haha

Yeah you should have activated...but to make sure....

open an elevated command line

type slmgr /ato

Should open a dialog box with your activation status

Go into Settings on your Xbox and ensure you have the game streaming checkbox enabled.
 
Well this is fat bullshit;

I deal with the Win 10 icon being an arse on my HTPC for an age and it's the one that's having instalation issues and spitting 80240031 in my face like I'll be able to do something with that.

No one answered my question from before; I got my laptop updated and an install media USB made. Can I just install Win 10 that way and sidestep Windows Update's nonsese?

Sorry should have mentioned that: Yes, it's checked to allow streaming.

And although I'm not part of the Xbox Preview, one of the accounts on that Xbox is. But I guess that's where this is all falling down. I thought it was officially released along with W10 at this point.
 
Up to date with Windows 10.

So much of this is alien to me. Don't know if I'll get used to it soon. Right now I'm just readjusting to how the colors feel a lot more sharper, not sure if in a good way either.

Also is it just me or has wallpaper quality... diminished? I can see artifacts that previously weren't there.
 
So I tried to download and create a flash drive version and the media tool can't detect my flash stick despite windows clearly seeing it. Googling has yielded nothing yet. Anyone run into that and get it fixed?
 
If I am downloading the .ISO from an external hard drive, do I need to know my product key? I purchased a Surface Pro that came pre-installed with Windows 8 and do not know it.

Thanks!

I had the same problem. I'm afraid you will have to download partition software and expand the size of the system partition which windows will use for the upgrade to windows 10.

I've spent my whole afternoon dealing with that.

PM me for info
 
Well it didn't work for me . Just reverted back to windows 7 . Error message of failed on boot.

I'm running an nvidia gtx 970 so I wonder if it's got anything to do with that.

Re downloading so I will give it another go.
Will report back later.
 
I was able to get Xbox One streaming working but my controller keeps de-syncing every 5 seconds or so. Not really sure how to fix.

LoL.
I always seem to have this same issue with Windows 7 when playing natively with Steam.

So I keep unplugging the controller to the USB slot and then plugging it back in.
If that doesn't work, I literally change USB slots.
If that doesn't work, I curse at the computer and make vague threats involving my trash can.
If that doesn't work, I lay on the ground in the fetal position and suck my thumb.

Customer Support Question: "Was this answer helpful for you?"
No. No it was not.

Also running a gtx 970 on my desktop pc. Had no problems so far. But only tried heroes of the storm and witchery 3 till now.
 
I had Windows Updates disabled before. Now showing 147 updates to install. LOL. And it's been 20 minutes and it's 0% complete so far. More LOL.

I guess Microsoft servers are getting slammed today.

Windows 10 will have to wait.
 
Go here and download Swedish...and click on language and it will give you opportunity to switch to default
]

You can switch it with Windows+Space but it always defaults to the American input option for some reason (Swedish is set to default though), but I managed to find a work-around by setting Swedish keyboard input as default on the English language settings :)

you using custom wallpaper, or built-in?

you on an above 1080P screen?
 
Yeah, seems the Xbox app only allows you to share screenshots/clips from games purchased from the Microsoft Store (for your friends to view). Doesn't work w/ Steam/Origin/etc. games. This error popped up when I tried to share a screen from GTA V (Steam). Not surprising, but it would've been cool.

edit: to clarify, you can still record shots/clips from Steam locally, but not to share.

Just ran a couple more games everything is the same no real boost or worse performance. That big insider program seems to have helped making a smooth transition. This has been the easiest windows upgrade I have ever had. From 7 to 8 was a nightmare for me.
 
i cant connect to the xbox app. it is just stuck on connecting. can't log in or anything. anyone help?
This has been an issue I have had...two solutions


Reboot and/or use task manager to kill Xbox app while its running and try opening again....once you get it to sign in the problem doesn't happen again
 
as a 970 owner, this worries me :(

970 here and awhile it updated yesterday it was pretty late so I didn't get a chance to really play anything. However I did open Heroes of the Storm and it was just fine. Looking forward to playing with it more when I get home from work.
 
A handful of builds ago in the Technical Preview you were able to have your lock screen rotate between images from Bing. Is there anyway to do this anymore? They were beautiful pictures that i'd love to have on my lock screen or desktop.
 
I didnt use the tool, I force updated. But after my update I had the same problem regarding activation. I right clicked the start menu>System>Activate Windows>Activate and got a message that it couldn't activate. So I opened up the Windows store and then went back to clicking the activate button and it worked lol.

Finally got it activated just kept hitting the button eventually went through

Actually you can capture anything (except fullscreen games for some reasin) by hitting the Guide Button on your Xbox pad or Winkey+G
 
Installed, things seem to be working OK. I have two annoyances though, maybe someone can help.


1. My desktop background is pixelated. This happened with Windows 7 but you could open the picture in a web browser and select "make desktop" and it would not pixelate the image. That workaround won't work now. Any ideas?

2. I have a dual monitor set up and there's a windows bar at the bottom of my second monitor (Primary monitor has an autohide taskbar). Any way to get rid of it on the second monitor?

Going to pray that my Wii U Pro controller still works on Win10.

I have that white USB adapter you can buy and it's working fine.
 
Upgraded today. At first I installed with my old files still intact, but then I decided to do it clean. It was super smooth doing the reinstall from the Windows 10 Settings; everything feels so fast now compared to using Windows 7 with all my old crap on there.

It took a while, but overall a very nice and simple transition.
 
For people owning a surface pro 3 don't upgrade to windows 10 the new browser in not touch friend. Actually the complete operating system is not made for high resolution tablets
 
I have a problem: my internet connection is now VERY crappy. I'm downloading Nvidia drivers and it's requiring me like 40 minutes, while usually I take 10 minutes or so. What can I do?

This could also be a server issue on Nvidias end or just your ISP acting weird. Are you sure it's an Windows 10 issue?
 
I have a strange issue with DOA5 and the Xbox One controller on Windows 10. The controller seems to work fine in the menus, but when I get to the actual fighting is when I get all kinds of weird issues. I can't move left or right, only duck. My Y (punch) works fine, but B (kick) only kind of works if I'm holding certain directions. This is true for both the analog stick and the Dpad, and it only happens during fights. Sometimes, the characters act like they're always blocking. I can control the camera just fine after the fight, my 360 controller works just fine, and the Xbox One controller works fine for other games. No idea what is going on here. I've reinstalled the driver and that's pretty much all I can do. I've been troubleshooting this issue in a couple of places and just thought I'd bring it up here. I found the standalone drivers and tried installing them several ways, but the issue persists.

Other issues include me wishing I could customize the start menu more (to put back "My Computer"), the fact that it will not recognize that Thunderbird is installed (even after uninstalling and reinstalling it), and a small amount of wonkiness I can work around. Still, running pretty good so far.

Click the notifications button in the bottom right and turn on "tablet" mode
 
My biggest concern right now is if it's possible to remove all traces of the MS Store. I don't want snything to do with that stuff. I don't want app suggestions in the start menu, and I don't want to use the store to install new software. I don't want any of the things that Microsoft has to offer me, besides the OS itself.

Lol
They have software for you. It's called Windows XP.
