Any word on clean installs? I am about due a reinstall and the timing on the upgrade is perfect.
No word yet, but I would do a clean windows 7 or 8 install then upgrade to 10
If you are seeing a small white windows icon in your taskbar offering to update to Windows 10 then this was caused by update KB3035583.
It can be removed by going to Control Panel > Programs > View installed updates (under Programs and Features). Select update and click uninstall. It can also be ignored by selecting "customise" white arrow and setting this icon to Hide icon and notifications.
Next time the PC prompts for an update just select KB3035583 and hide.
If this is the sort of nonsense MS is going to push then I won't be going anywhere near Windows 10.
I've heard if people don't install Windows 10 Microsoft are going to send out tiny fairy workers to upgrade PC while people are sleeping. ;)Quote:

Does this mean we'll see the Surface Pro 4 around the same time...?
Anyone know if you can revert back to windows 7 if you dont like windows 10?
Was there any final word on how Microsoft are going to handle illegitimate copies of Windows? That was a big point that just seems to have fallen away.
Was answered a while back. An unlicensed copy will allow you to upgrade to Windows 10, but it'll still be unlicensed and unsupported.Quote:

Yes, they are not doing anything about them by the sounds of things.Quote:

Endorsing piracy would be a positive thing?Quote:

This is incorrect - I've got the upgrade gump (and reserved) and I absolutely have a retail license. Where I haven't got the gump? On my Win10 machine with the Win7 OEM key... go figure.Quote:
