So it's safe to delete those $BT files?
Learnt the hard way yesterday that formatting fucks up your activation. I couldn't finish the windows 10 install because the restarts would result in bluescreens so I went for a clean install from the USB which fucked my activation up. I think your method is the only way of fixing it. Which is incredibly stupid because looking at my Microsoft account I could see the windows 10 licence but couldn't activate that particular install of windows 10.
Have a good chuckle then. I'm pretty sure Apple doesn't share my WiFi password with my facebook friends, or do most of the other stuff on that picture.
I did now I am on Win 10. Make sure you keep the other folder wih the setup.exe, so you can put it on a USB or something.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Something is wrong because it should boot as fast if not faster*
*unless it's installing updates.
Minor issue, but does anyone know how to pin the edge tabs...probably bad wording
I have dual screens and usually I will have chrome on one monitor with 2 tabs specific for work and my main screen will usually have Chrome with other tabs.
With Chrome I can easily drag and drop tabs between 2 seperate windows
As soon as I drag a tab out of my Edge browsing window it becomes it's own independant window and I cannot merge it

Wow this feels good, though I have to remove a lot of bullshit like those unnecessary pinned crap.
Is there a way to make Settings in Start Menu go to Control Panel than the simplified crap? And Computer as well in the Start Menu?

If any one have privatefirewall or vpn programs, and facing "no internet connection", then simply uninstall your vpn and privatefirewall, will fix it right away, and you can then simply reinstall the vpn and firewall.
Had this problem myself.

Yes, I have noticed.
My computer runs faster in every other respect since I upgraded, but the reboot times are terrible.
i'm still waiting that this will resolve itself.
i COULD go back to 8.1 and wait for the regular-ass update right now, but since all i currently need my PC for is playing through the Legacy of the Void prologue a few times, i'll gladly wait a few days and save myself the hassle.
If i end up having to go back to square (eight-point) one, i won't have to backup anything, really.
going from 8.1 to 10 i used the ISO and maybe i just didn't check / wait to activate the 8.1 install on my fresh SSD.
I just went into Windows update and there was a driver waiting to be installed. Installed it, restarted and everything was fine.
WiFi share while turned on by default prompts before doing anything. I was mainly referring to all of the other data mining listed in that picture.

Thanks man! I understand now. All clear. To be honest it was frustrating the hell out of me so at least now I have my answer. Looks like I might need a laptop upgrade.
Windows key + e is from XP days.
Neither does MS, unless you very specifically tell them to. And you must be joking with your last statement. You don't think Apple collects and stores data from Siri? Or stores your settings in the cloud in order to sync across devices? A lot of stuff in that image is just fear mongering.

Upgrade went super smooth for me and I've got everything working and set up/customized to my liking now. Nice upgrade from Win 7, and far better than Windows 8.
Mine needed updating to the 7.X version. For some reason the preinstalled app was 5.X.

Not that I'm aware of. But you can right click the start button and get a pop up that has links to regular control panel etc.

So after all this bullshit.
I had to take out 1 stick of ram and my AMD GPU for Windows 10 64bit to install.
Now it's installed I've had 2 blue screens for next to no fucking reason.
Was a pain getting AMD CC to install.
I'm buggy as shit....but I love the new UI.

This is what I came to ask about. After the Windows 10 logo screen on startup, it sits on a blank screen for about 30 seconds or more before finally making it to the login screen? Anyone know what it is doing there or how to get around it yet?
Windows 7 was ran like a breeze but that's the OS it was built for at the time.

How come I can't pin some stuff to Start? Like ESO Launcher, MS Word, etc.
lol went to try the Solitaire app but it says I have no internet
So logged into the Xbox app which oddly shows solitaire as recently played under my Xbox ID. clicked on play from within the Xbox app, which launched the solitaire app...which said I did not have a internet connection

Is there any reason why I can't change the install location of my apps?
I am able to so maybe its not seeing it in disk management?
The image says Wifi password sharing with all your Outlook and Skype contacts is enabled by default, only facebook has to be confirmed. If that's wrong, then nevermind.
Specs? A decent 2011 PC is still pretty viable today.
Upgraded my desktop. Update was failing so I went the manual route. Moving from W7 Ultimate to 10 Pro. Took a long ass time, but it went through. Restarted so that the Nvidia drivers would kick in.
Not bad so far. Only device I've had issue with is my webcam, which is a MS Lifecam oddly enough. Hope to get more time to play around with 10 later today.

Hmm suddenly lost a lot of GB. Are there any files worth deleting after install, like leftover stuff?
for that one other person on the planet this might be an issue for, I figured it out
drag the tab you want to import to the very left of all the tabs i the new window
In my case it boots at least as fast as before. It's hard to tell because almost all of that time is spent doing BIOS stuff - the actual Windows loading part only takes ~7-8 seconds to get to a usable login screen.
Just to chime in that not only did this work, but the upgrade was nice enough to tell me which programmes had to be uninstalled. Apparently an incredibly old version of Daemon Tools I didn't even knew was still installed doesn't work on Windows 10, lol.
I can change the locations for all the others just fine. Only the one for apps doesn't work.
Not really sure what you mean
Check your Windows Update (Installed Updates) and see if it has failed a bunch of times. Also check your Windows 10 upgrade on the task bar and see if it is telling you wait for a notification as it is being rolled out in waves.
You may just need to kickstart it by opening a command window and using the wuauclt.exe /updatenow command. I had to use this command and the upgrade went seamless.

If you upgraded it creates a Windows 7 backup. Mine is around 28GB. I also had about 3.5GB of Temporary Install files. If you run a disk cleanup and choose the additional System cleanup options you can delete these if you want. You just won't be able to revert back any longer. I'll delete mine in a few days.
The built-in Windows Defender is one of the best anti-virus programs for a Windows machine.
This reddit post is a great summation of all the different options.
Annoying ass, dumbshit user-friendly issue #214:
With Edge, if you hit the new tab button, you have to click the navigation bar two or three times before you can type in(or copy/paste) a web address.
How did any of these get through like 8 months of beta testing? Where you guys with the preview builds on this stuff? Why is nobody else complaining about these things? I cant be the only one who sees where they are taking steps back *all over the place*.
