Windows 10

[DTAC]

anyone had good reviews with it on a custom built pc?
I on a legit windows 7 32bit .
also heard windows 10 has plenty allocations for touch screen devices, mines limited to a mouse. It works good with a mouse?

My machine is custom built and it works like a dream.
But if you're using a 32bit OS, what are your specs, that might affect OS performance a great deal.

Using it with a mouse is like using Windows 7 with a mouse. It was only Windows 8 that made it a nightmare for anyone using a mouse.

I also have a Wacom tablet attached and all the mouse features work alongside the pen features without a problem.

same issue here with Windows 8.1 on an Asus netbook. Used Belarc advisor to retrieve product key.

Will give this a go later

windows 10 seems to be more cpu intensive? i have a intel n2830 cpu, just the basic cpu, should I go back to windows 8?

upgrade your RAM and increase your swap file size and see if you get an improvement.

I believe it is.

Seems like Runtime Broker likes to have a lot of memory and CPU to wallow around in. Would definitely be causing some high idles on lower processor systems.

never really had any issue with windows 8/8.1....I had used "classic shell" which enabled system to be viewed/used as the familiar and conventional xp or windows 7...start button was a lil shell but that never bothered me.....and could have switched to tile view and back at any time...a pic below (not mine)

Remember the WIFI sense thing too where if you do not turn it off or change your SSID to include the word "optout", you are literally sharing your wifi connection with all friends on social media, outlook and skype!!

and you all may also want to look at a new feature in windows updates that uses your internet upload bandwidth to push updates to PC's on your LAN as well as on the internet...

Microsoft will use its customers' upload bandwidth to deliver Windows 10's updates and apps with a peer-to-peer technology resembling BitTorrent, a fact that has caught some by surprise.


Baked into Windows 10 is a new technology Microsoft dubbed "Windows Update Delivery Optimization" (WUDO) that is turned on by default for all editions of Windows 10. However, only some SKUs (stock-keeping units) -- notably Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro -- are set to provide updates and apps to other devices when connected to the public Internet.

Regarding the windows activation, apparently you have to do the upgrade from 8.1 to 10 first so it converts your existing activation key to a windows 10 key. You can then use the media creation tool to reinstall a clean copy which recognizes your existing key. If you install a clean copy and delete partitions you also lose the ability to roll back to 8.1 which you can only do within one month of installing 10.

This might help people with the runtime broker issue.

"After installing Windows 10, I had the issue with the Runtime Broker taking ~30% of my CPU. I found the fix (at least for me) by going to Settings -> System -> Notifications & actions and unselecting "Show me tips about Windows." It immediately fixed the processor usage when I disabled it, and immediately came back when I re-enabled it. I couldn't find this anywhere, so I thought it could help a couple people if I posted it somewhere, at least.

I recorded the weirdness here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Yg_ZdhE4rI "

All this talk about how pirated windows 7 won't update to windows 10 turns out to be a lie. All pirated windows 7 using DAZ loader gets updated to windows 10 for free as if its genuine.

I feel really stupid for buying a windows 8.1 product OEM key.

Dloading atm and upgrading from win 7.1 64bit pro...would report with findings later

[maj. tom]

In the end I just backed up what I could on another drive, formatted my primary and did a clean install with a USB via the media creation tool.

It fixed all the bugs. It was already registered with my account when i did the upgrade from Windows 7, so no need for a key (skip this step and connect to the internet to verify).


Now Windows 10 is working as it should. Cortana works. They should always encourage clean installs with a clean drive. Layering an OS on top another, no matter how much programming, work and planning went into it will always create unforeseen bugs. Ghosts in the Machine.


So if there's anyone who is just fed up with the bugs, you will have to do a clean install. The key is registered for your machine once you already did the upgrade.

Anyone else getting consistent errors when trying to upgrade " Windows 10 couldn't be installed error code......" I initially got as far as upgrading system with the spinning circle, then it rebooted and errors none stop since then

[originalbling]

alexdeo655

, I got errors a few times. Make sure its a newly formatted flash drive you using and select the correct language version. When running through the media creation tool wizard i also chose to create both 32 and 64 bit versions. that seemed to work.

Microsoft sure is brazen.

Windows has long offered native DVD playback capabilities, but Microsoft scrubbed them starting with Windows 8 in order to save a couple of licensing bucks on every Windows license. Windows Media Center still offered DVD playback capabilities, but Microsoft gave that the axe in Windows 10. To placate irate Media Center users, the company offered WMC users who upgraded to Windows 10 a free “Windows DVD Player” Windows app that proved buggy and light on features in our brief testing. Now, as Windows Central first noted, Microsoft’s completing the circle by offering that DVD Player to all Windows 10 users—for $15 in the Windows Store.

VLC is free/opensource and plays all media formats. Portable version also available.

So my install was stuck at 92% overall and at 68% configuring settings...it reverted back to the original windows 7.1 n now its sayin my copy of windows is not genuine bla bla.bla. at least i making an image of the windows 10 n gonna clean install it....

[Spitfir3]

upgraded 5 systems some running win7 pro and some with windows 8.1 they all upgraded and activated without problems

Thanks for that tip bro

Agreed. Do the upgrade, save the key then do a clean install if you think the system is too buggy.

No there is no need for clean install

Windows 10 includes the "reset" option in windows update section.

This resets windows 10 to clean install automatic there is no need to do clean install manually again.
This is 2015 not 2005. We not living 10 years ago, microsoft invented the reset option for this purpose so we won't ever have to clean install manually again for any reason.

I feel really stupid for buying a windows 8.1 product OEM key.

so you call me out of the blue jus so.....like if we knock beers together...ok den..no scene...

so let me understand your scenario...typin small sentences so yuh cud follow me
you have a pc.....
pc has pirate windows 7
u use daz windows loader to make it "genuine"
you then stated "pirated windows 7 wont update to windows 10"

then you stated "you feel really stupid for buying a windows 8.1 OEM key"

time to quote myself again...

ok so let me break it down for tuners.

IF
A) you're using bootleg windows 7/8 you subscribed to the insider program you will get genuine & activated BUT the catch is....only as long as you stay with the insider program - ie continue testing Microsoft software...your new name - George the lab rat - if you opt out the build will expire and you WILL have to either downgrade back to your original O.S or pay for a windows 10 license or use crack

B) you're using bootleg windows 7/8 you will get windows 10...but it wont be activated

C) you're using genuine windows 7/8 you will get windows 10 fully supported and activated.

go to page 16 of this thread and see for yourself....note that post was edited on june 23rd...NOT today eah....so yuh cant say....i NOW edited that in...

you need to learn to READ and understand.
so far the only smart thing u did was buy a windows 8.1 product key...
I await your remarks....

Geezuz,

what so hard to understand about this pirated vs non pirated thing boy?

partner u feeling stupid for buying a product u does use day in and out?

im confused

[INHUMAN]

i got thru with my torrent windows 7.1pro only to b left with a windows 10 needing activation. dloaded a keytool and voila! servers r bz these days so just wait a wk for activation. it'll activate soon enuf. now lemme see which software could run and games as well

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

I didn't have to and could have just used the money for something else but I was impressed with windows 10 and I felt that $27 USD was not bad for a genuine OEM key.

And I felt as though since I won't be upgrading my PC mainboard and CPU for the next 10 years, I felt why not buy the Key. But I learn after I didn't need to do jack sheit and could ah get windows 10 free even with ah pirated windows 7 is all I am saying.

But yeah I do feel some sense of satisfaction having given $27 to microsoft for a windows I use everyday and intend on using for the next 20 years.

One question I have however, is it possible to transfer the OEM key from this main board to another board? if so how would it be done? the only reason it was so cheap $27 is cause it was an OEM key. Only able to install on one mainbaord.

Now that I have windows 10 activated I wanted to know if its possible to transfer that win 10 key onto another PC incase I want to change out this mainboard. I dunno how I feel about running a Athlon 760K quad core FM2+ CPU for the next 10 years.

Direct X 12 promises to put this on par same performance as a expensive core i5 thanks to games not being bound by single threading performance again. From research apparently this crappy AMD CPU gives same performance as a i3 or i5 in DX 12.

likewise....why buy an OEM key..if is a dell or hp or other branded pc the key is stored on the BIOS. you just need to know how to get the oem key substitute the invalid key for the correct key....and undo the windows loader by DAZ....

if he had ASKED me...i would have informed him what to do...or did it for him..but its easier to say.."i say windows 7 crack wont update to windows 10"....

i still waiting for your reply to my post where u said "i say"

also what brand of pc you got.?? custom built from parts or OEM - dell / hp / acer /etc
just asking....

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

You said somewhere on this same thread a while ago that pirated versions wont be able to upgrade for free to windows 10. But maybe I read wrong, its possible.

As for my PC I have a custom built PC, built it myself
