I volunteer Den do our trial. Then if it all goes pear shaped and can't be reversed he'll know why we were cautious...

I wouldn't have it as my main OS for at least 6 months. Needs to have a proper shake down first to get the bugs out and allow the registry hacks to be established. Got to be able to get rid of the worst of the frippery and undesirable behaviour.

Fully agree, would never have any previous M$ OS before SP1 (well Win8 was 8.1) and intend to let the dust settle on Win 10 before it goes on the family PC. Will give it a go on my Win 7 lappy in about a month then hopefully I'll have the answers for my other half when I put it on Family desktop PC and she says "how do I do this?" or "It won't do that." etc!!!

It works with my Logitech webcam, I think I just had to tell it to use it when I first open Cortana.

For all you guys pondering whether to install it, there is no rush you have 12 months to do it before you lose the free option.

I have run it for a good few months now and it has been rock solid here.

Just updated on my pc, took about an hour though I didn't time it. No obvious problems.

Should be fun and games when other half goes on as she has just got used to 8.1.

if you use the media creator tool you get option to update pc now or create media so you can get it now

denphone · 29-07-2015, 19:38

l think given the foreboding's of some on this thread perhaps the wisest idea is to wait.

So upgraded both pc's now to Windows 10.

M-ITX Lan/Media Server rig has Windows 10 Home

Main Gaming PC has Windows 10 Pro so happy about that.

Just doing a back up now of my main pc as that is the only one with a DVD drive in it, and then I am going to try a clean install using the Windows 10 Pro ISO that I am creating at the moment.

If it doesn't work with either the Windows 8 Pro key or the one that I have got from Magic Jelly Bean then I don't, know how I am going to be able to do a clean install in the future when I need to.

**Update**

Done a fresh install using the Windows 8 key, and the one from Magic Jelly Bean and both keys are not being activated, I cannot even change the product key within windows because it says my Windows 8 key is not valid even though I have already used it to upgrade to Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.

I wonder if Microsoft will ever launch a version of windows without issues like this, as its always the same pos service from them.

1st blocking legit keys, then telling you that your key is not valid after telling you twice that it is and then telling you that you have to buy a new key even though it will activate when upgrading but not when you try to do a clean install even though they say it should.

if you upgraded and it activated you should be fine with clean install with magic jelly bean key

damien c · 29-07-2015, 21:01

The fresh install would not accept the Windows 8 key but it accepted the one from Magic Jelly Bean but it will not activate using it, and I cannot change the key either.

It's just pathetic that they seem to have killed off doing fresh installs going by what I am seeing here, and have been seeing since 9am this morning trying to get both machines to have clean install on them.

Currently on the phone with Microsoft once again.

**Edit**

They just hung up on me again. that is the 9th time today they have hung up on me when trying to transfer me or claiming they cannot hear what I am saying when I am trying my hardest not to loose my cool with them since they cannot understand the difference between the numbers "2" & "3".

did you use Microsoft account of local one

Anyone who is currently on build 10240 as an insider doesn't need to upgrade today as we already have the latest.

When I want to get my free invite after I reinstall 8.1, how long does it take for the invite app to show up or can I just manually install that if I find out the update number?
