Upgrade to Windows 10?
- Thread starter Kagoshima_Luke
- Start date
Powershell is god-tier. I use it everyday and have scripts to automate across different products from SQL Server to Nuget packages. It's probably the best thing MS has ever done imo.
Learn Powershell in a Month of Lunches is a great place to start if you want to dabble in it with minimal time investment initially. ISE is also nice because you get intellisense, which is handy versus just using the default terminal.
Also, use get-help (or man if that's your preference) religiously.
Sorry for the sale, but I just love Powershell.

I would assume you can upgrade again later on since your Win10 license should be tied to your MS account AFAIK, but just in case, use that Microsoft media creation tool I linked to earlier to make a Win10 install disc before downgrading.

No it will not. You will have to perform a clean install from an ISO to do that.

Uh. Downloaded the 64bit version and put on a disk, just says please insert the 64bit version of windows and install will restart.
I did download the 64bit one :/
Anyone had that?
Edit : Actually you know what, looking back through it every time you change an option it resets to 32bit when creating the ISO. So I must have changed an option the first time and not noticed it had changed back. Bleh.

So this is weird. I'm trying to reset the password on my microsoft account through the screen that you get when you click "Search the web and Windows" on the taskbar. It sends a code to my email, I enter it, and it asks me to type a new password. And as soon as I start typing it goes back to the other screen and cancels me out. So I can't reset my password.

Maybe I'm just dumb but is there a way now to assign a different desktop background to your multiple monitors? Or do I still have to use a 3rd party tool for that?

Had that happen to me, installed 32-bit by accident lol. Swore I set it to 64-bit
I will put up with the driver problems, compatibility issues, launch bugs, and all the other bullshit in the world for this right here.
Truly a dream come true.
This might actually make me do the same. I spend hour at time messing with command prompt and SSH Putty, would love to have a more modernized one.

What a mess so far. Easiest part was cloning my old SSD to the new one. Upgrading to Windows 10 first gave me the 'something happened' error so I got past that by changing my system language.
Made it all the way through and it bitched about my system partition and canceled the install. So I went in via suggested fix online and cleared out some language shit in there. Here's hoping it actually installs this time, though it seems it has to redownload everything all over again.
Should have just created some installation media instead.

They stay the same unless Windows removes an incompatible program (e.g. Windows Media Center)

Thanks! I'm using quick launch and have a ton of shortcuts, pain in the ass to put them all back.
Had a random problem with my display after installing Windows 10. I only had 3 resolution settings, only one monitor was detected, and none of my drivers would install correctly. So I rebooted to see if any updates would install and when it restarted it was completely fine lol.

Any Nvidia users having trouble finding the Nvidia Control Panel? I've got the latest drivers and G-Force experience, but when I right click on the desktop or start button, there's no way to get to the Nvidia Control Panel to make custom settings.

Win+S. Type nvidia. Click the first thing that comes up.
BTW, once you learn Win+S, you never have to use anything else again. You can use it to find anything on your entire computer in an instant. Think of it like googling your computer

Got 10 installed and I have to say, I'm impressed. Slick, snappy and no more tiles. I wish I could erase the memory of 8.1 from my mind, forever.
they will stay,
only issue i have had is two fold that happened tonight
first,,, the os recognized i have a naga mouse - a lefty naga mouse...and switched my left click/right click
second i hard locked and crashed my wow game, i couldn't close the window or use the mouse and ultimately had to reboot the computer.
third, this is just a general "looks" thing, i hate the settings window, its just too freaking bland.
fourth, microsoft edge brower, until i can move the hub, not using it.
i LIKE the idea of the hub, i DISLIKE WITH A PASSION where it is in the window, it is on the wrong side of the window, i NEED to be able to switch sides and have it on the left side, where it would remain open to favorites 100% of the time, and right now, i have no clue how to move it(i've looked, nothing comes up about being able to switch sides/be movable

It works perfectly if you were still wondering.

Thanks for the quick reply. Actually, I just noticed that Windows is showing a have a GTX 760 vs 760 Ti. In any case, after searching they should both be the same driver 353.62. Maybe that's what's wrong.
Are you still able to get to the Nvidia Control Panel from right clicking on the desktop?
Edit - Whoops. I guess I don't have the 760 Ti. Either way, I still can't get to the NCP.

Yes, it shows it for me. Open up GeForce Experience and try re-installing the driver I guess?
you don't need win+s, windows key alone will bring you to search

It worked after manually downloading the driver. Thanks for the help.

Ahh that must be new to Win 10. I'm accustomed to 8.1 where there's no search box on the metro start menu. In any case, I guess now Win+S opens Cortana or something? I guess for me it doesn't make a difference though.
In 8.1 you could also just start typing in Metro Start and the search bar would appear by itself. Same thing in Windows 10.
In windows 8 it works the same way... you can just hit windows key and start typing
if you do win+s it shows the 'popular now' page or whatever and if you just hit windows key it shows the start menu, but both leave focus in the search box (even if you have the search box hidden)

Upgraded to GeForce 353.62 and now I have tearing in the Wolf The Old Blood. Didn't have tearing on 353.30 and 8.1
Now I'm sad

Go back to 353.30 and stop the new driver from updating automatically.
Thought i did, since i had streaming working, but just went to the store and it started updating. Hopefully that fixes it!
And it's still broken

Same situation for me. SSD /Win 7 at least 4 years old and full of all kinds of programs. Performance increased in Win 10 for me. Well except for Chrome. Does Chrome seem particularly sluggish to anyone else?

If I'm going to be using my Windows desktop as a pure gaming device and really nothing else, would there be any advantage to using my Microsoft account as my main account, or should I just roll with a local one?
I don't have any other Microsoft products it would sync with (phone or laptop)

Thanks for the suggestion. Still getting the tearing. I'll just blame the game.
Ugh... Tried re-installing the Realtek drivers, and they keep uninstalling / resinstalling after every reboot.
Am I the only one with this problem ?
So I upgraded using the tool. I heard that if I clean install in the future I won't need a key because Microsoft will detect that I'm an upgraded user. Is this true?

Cant seem to get Bluetooth working with DS3 scp driver. Went from win 7 to 10 and I could unplug the ds3 and it would seamlessly switch to wireless. Now it just does 4 blinking lights then nothing.
Tried uninstalling then reinstalling, running admin, turning off UAC but nothing works.

How can I stop Windows from turning on my PC at 2:30 in the night? (except shutting off the power supply)
I sleep in the same room as my PC is and this happened both nights since I have Windows 10 installed and I wake me up when I hear it.
I use the energy save mode instead of shutting the system down completely and don't want to change that.
