If I do a clean install down the road, where will I get my keys?

 

[Mechanized]

Guys... It's an OS upgrade. You can wait a few hours lol.

 

[AlexMogil]

see you on the other side ray

 

[Everdred]

I don't think your key changes.

 

[LeeRoyBrown]

Why the fuck would my PC say 29th of July for the update...but then MS just don't release it.

I mean I know i'll get it tomorrow but seriously.

Dissapointed.

It is tied to your Microsoft Account, so you don't need to remember the product key anymore. Just sign in to your Microsoft Account and you should be activated.

This is life or death.

Well it's kind of disappointing when everybody else is getting it and they said it would go live at midnight....and nothing.

 

[twobear]

don't worry everyone, updating sooner just means that you'll turn against it sooner and start talking about how you can't wait for windows 11

 

[megarockexe]

has enough time passed for me to be able to sue microsoft for false hope and emotional damage

I mean, it's not like it's the 29th yet or something.
I wonder how stressful this must be on their servers?

 

[888]

Installed and running on one of my rigs. After the reddit trick it failed. Second time trying it worked perfect. That was about an hour ago now.

 

[Wreav]

The method of emptying the software distribution/download folder worked like a charm. Redownloaded 3 gigs worth and I'm up in 10 now.

 

[LowParry]

If people are hesitant, just wait for the Day 1 patch that's suppose to fix more bugs. Should hit tomorrow I assume. Probably won't do my update till tomorrow after work, but it's ready to go.

Dissapointed.

It specifically says "after July 29th".

 

[Elija2]

I hope I won't have to redownload everything once they finally roll it out to me.

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

I feel I should have a mental breakdown over the 15 minutes of pure nothing. Yes, this is a good idea

 

[Fatalah]

So kind of cool, I didn't even have to re-log into my Chrome browser after my upgrade.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Wait, so how does a clean install work. If I choose to upgrade, will it give me the option for a clean install?

 

[speakerlog]

For some reason my desktop PC worked fine with that posted reddit method but my mac bootcamp won't work at all :/ lol

 

[robotrock]

Microsoft, you've fucked up harder than EA and DICE did with Battlefield 4's launch. You'll never see a cent from me again.

 

[LostMyNarbles]

If you want to you can completely reset your PC for a fresh install after you update.

 

[renegade_dewitt]

This drama is getting good.

lol, are these serious?

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Do we still need to fumble around with product keys and shit like that? I remember how annoying that was in the past.

 

[makingmusic476]

How's it working out for people who did an upgrade/update instead of a fresh install?

I usually do a clean install for new OSes because everything works out so much better, but I built this rig and installed Win 8.1 only four months ago and don't feel like doing it all again so soon.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

Using onboard sound, I feel so gross. I guess I can handle it for a few months until Creative release a Windows 10 driver for my card if I have to :/

It ran like shit for me, super slow and choppy. Works fine after a clean install.

[LostMyNarbles]

I don't believe so. It's specifically a setting in Windows 10 to reset your PC.

 

[Syphon Filter]

just because of a late update? lol. os is not ready anyways, they got the excuse that its like a service. fall really should have been the release.

 

[Smooth Operator]

lol, are these serious?

Spoiler

Probably not

 

[SCR]

don't worry everyone, updating sooner just means that you'll turn against it sooner and start talking about how you can't wait for windows 11

I hated Windows 10 before it was even released!

Spoiler

Seriously tho guys, Frankie says relax. EVERYONE EVER is downloading it because it was free. Everyone do something else on the OS you have now that is working just fine and wait it out lol

 

[Ghost_Messiah]

Finally got it up and running. Christ if I knew the install process was going to take so long I would have waited until tomorrow and got some sleep. So far so good. Seems ultra slick and super fast. Cool and clean interface. Love it infinitely more than 8.1 so far. A return to form. I'm absolutely wiped out now though from hours of trying to get this installed so I guess I won't have fun with this until tomorrow. Still though, mission accomplished.

How are the rest of you guys that have it running finding it? Like it?

 

[Shahadan]

I don't believe so. It's specifically a setting in Windows 10 to reset your PC.

How does that work exactly? I don't get how it can format your drives but still re-install automatically.

 

[Kal1138]

I did everything suggested here and got it to work. It says it's only 2.6GB. Is that normal? I'm currently using Windows 8.1 btw.

 

[Mad Season]

installed like butter

 

[Reversed]

I keep getting optional MSE updates, lol.

 

[Fatalah]

Hmm...did Microsoft uninstall ClassicShell?! It's no where to be found!

 

[tycoonheart]

So MS has the media creation tool now. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

I'm gonna try to upgrade (its an option) using this.

Its downloading now.

 

[renegade_dewitt]

How does that work exactly? I don't get how it can format your drives but still re-install automatically.

It moves your apps to a temporary folder on your local drive, then it reformats the drive and installs Windows, and then finally moves the apps back onto the fresh install.

 

[HelloMeow]

Just finished the upgrade. No transparent title bars anymore? That's a shame.

 

[con-ca-te-nate]

So reddit method failed. I restarted my PC and checked the $Windows.~BT Folder and ran the setup but I'm getting the [boot.wim] error.

 

[makingmusic476]

It ran like shit for me, super slow and choppy. Works fine after a clean install.

Oof.

 

[EloquentM]

My windows 7 desktop just downloaded some sort of last minute recommended update. That got installed (I'm assuming it was a key or something). Now I'm installing windows 10.

 

[Tabby]

Got it to download twice now, running the setup just gives me "missing boot.wim".
I give up. I'll just wait for it.

 

[sangreal]

were you still on windows 7? I feel those have been long gone

 

[dLMN8R]

You probably didn't have real drivers, and instead had in-box drivers, if it was all slow and choppy.



Just another reason to wait for official release instead of trying to shove it in early

What is this supposed to do? I just downloaded an .exe and ran it

I think it messed with my BT folder?

 

[GavinGT]

 

 

[Askherserenity]

Got the update now. Eastern Time.

 

[Syphon Filter]
