In this blog post you learned how to find and download the latest Windows 10 admx files, how to add them to your Group Policy Central Store and how to then deploy a GPO from the new templates. When I go to copy my ADMX files to my central store, is there any issues with the fact that it asks if I want to over-write the files with the same name?

Introduction Windows 10 is an operating system that is evolving at a very fast pace and will most likely be released as a new version part of the Current Branch every 6 months or so. This is no when you better clean install. I chose to clean install on here becuase I wanted just to have fun getting on recovery thing and doing command promt stuff but Windows installation moves everything to windows.

No man, just no. I’ve done tens of thousands of both over the years and never liked upgrades. With the 40 plus upgrades under my best so far, not one has been an issue and has already saved hundreds of hours.

Clean installs I can’t say the same. Clean is always better. I choose to upgrade and keep the files. And I’ll wait for some bugs fixes before I made a real clean install. Maybe a clean install just at the end of this year, I don’t know. Lets see. For the free dvd app that would be another reason to upgrade not much else unless you bought from an OEM that has slic product key.

Ah, that shot. Windows 10 is such a beautiful OS. And I prefer Clean Install. I heard a few ‘legacy’ machines could run Win10 relatively smooth, so it gives me confidence in an immediate upgrade process We installed it on some really low-end HP netbooks and runs slightly better then 7 Starter Edition. I have an old XP machine that I would like to try it on. But, I don’t fancy paying for a license if it ends up not working. Is there any way around that? Is it possible to trial it?

Yes, just don’t activate it and it will let you use it for a month or so for free. Or join the Insider program. Clean install! All the way! Microsoft’s never been good with upgrades I noticed that when I first upgraded from 3. Tried every time after that and never had a good enough experience. The same happened this time. After I initially upgraded as was required , I reinstalled I saw a big performance improvement between the two. Yeah im with yeah between major os updates sp, gdr. I upgraded and it was unbearably slow, so I reset the PC to stock Windows 10 and although I’m still reinstalling things it’s infinitely better.

Wow, what a super fast OS. Not upgrading until threshold 2. I had to reinstall office , otherwise it went fine. Glad I didnt clean install.

I am currently running Win7 Pro on my system, not sure if I should upgrade or do a clean install of Win10 Pro? Upgrade then clean install. I upgraded my surface pro But nothing else I will upgrade one of my laptops and the dell venue 8, but my full production Machines will be clean installs like always. You just can’t beat a clean install.

Mind you, these machines do the most work and less personal stuff, but clean installs allow foe one to remove old drivers and bloat. You put on just what you need. I have server with my data on it as I don’t like to keep much data on any machine cause one I am always on a different device, and two, I less hassle That and now cloud storage with one drive is so dag gone good.

Always have a back up, save your important install files locally on a server, NAS, or in the cloud for access when you are doing a clean install. Keep your keys there too, you can encrypt the file you store them in for safety. With all that said, I am no rush to perform the clean install on those machines One is 7, the other 8. Doing just fine for now And the one drove apps work with online folders still, lol.

My surface pro 3 upgrade was easy, but not seamless But things have been going well since then. I was kinda pissed I chose to upgrade I the morning of as I use I docked at the office But all my tools worked as should Just now I have to go to the browser to get some files from OneDrive On the positive note, ir is very cool that I can share files in onedrive by right-clicking the file in explorer That’s cool, that keeps me from having to go to the browser for that But thats a poor trade I would rather it be reversed again, lol.

Upgraded Toshiba z10 tablet easily; wife’s SP3pro automatically but lost dual monitor capability ; my Dell inspiron PC now at 8 attempts and no success I was one of the first that reserved the copy back in May. And still haven’t got the upgrade, still waiting. This is BS.

Hi everyone, first time commenting here and I have a couple questions and I hope someone can help me. First question. Is the Technical Preview a Pro version or are they home and pro versions? I ask this because I have a desktop pc that I currently have windows 8. I also have a Surface Pro 1 with windows 8.

Second Question!! Will I get Windows 10 Pro at that time since it does not have anything about windows 8. Thanks a lot for your help. Hmm yes W10 tech preview is a PRO version.. But as this is for your wife’s PC. W10 Build may be working Pretty Good now.. But no one can assure the same in future builds too..

There ‘ll be some sort of bugs.. So I just suggest you that. And I know you’ve worried abt automatic Windows updates in Home version.. But as I’ve heard you can Block the updates using some support app provided by Microsoft.. Clean is always the preferred method for any OS install. IMHO anyway. That is what I do, but I do not install a large amount of software like many do so I can understand why some people groan at the thought of doing a clean install.

Clean install or a reset works about the same doesn’t it? Either way, you’re doing a fresh install of your applications and utilities. Which is why Clean is best. Kaspersky Internet Security – this bastard created more problems for me than anything. I spent 4 hours figuring out what caused the update failure. Disable this guy for a seamless upgrade process. I think a clean install is best, here’s why: while Win10 works well on my phones, my excitement for my PCs was unfounded: the “upgrade” was an absolute train wreck on my first PC.

I had to “do,” as MS is so fond of saying, so I rolled it back after a week to Win7. When I finally reached a chat technician, he was nice but gave me zero help – and the resulting “escalation” was more like “black hole. But that’s just me. Upgrade first and Clean install as a last result.

I’ve upgraded 4 systems so far. No issues that make me want to start clean so far. I’m normally an OCD clean install guy but this time I’m good with an upgrade on all 5 systems. Works fine, seems faster. Posted via the Windows Central App for Android. At first I downloaded the ISO for win10 pro and made an upgrade to ensure that the product key conversion from 8.

After upgrading performed a clean installation. Guys whether the preloaded apps like candy crush saga available only on win10 home? Because I don’t have the app in win10 pro!! Make your automatically update apps is on in the store. Home users cannot stop automatic app updates so they have it by default but Pro users can. Otherwise, you can always install it yourself from the store.

I upgraded and removed the old OS files through disk cleanup A fresh install is always a pain in the arse for me Clean install is the best. Quick question: is waiting for Windows Update the same thing as using the media creation tool and choosing the Upgrade this PC option?

The problem is that like many others I still haven’t received the notification for the update and want to get Windows 10 at minimal risk. Now as I upgrade from a legitimate OS, my insider preview is still activated after I stopped the option to get insider builds. Now if I try to clean install Windows 10 again, will the Pro version get activated or I’ll have to install 7 again then upgrade to Windows 10 Home and then clean install 10 Home again?

I thought my Insider Pro would activate after clean install, but it didnt. I had to go via 8. Clean is always the best route. I did clean install without format. Now i like to do it again with format. Can i do the same procedure without problems. Also van I then install office again without problems? On my SP3 I did a factory reset to 8. Everything was deleted. Is that a clean installation?

Everything seems but apart from battery-life, which I think has been reduced. Clean install means formatting your hard drive and then installing Windows. Resetting only deleted your apps and reinstalls windows. Sure that sounds like a clean install but it isn’t. Hey thanks for thre tip. But does it really matter if the HD isn’t formatted? I’m more concerned about why the battery life has shortened on the SP3 – 9hrs to 4hrs. Would reformatting the hard disk help? I find it funny that Cortana is regarded as a new feature, while the service is not available to most if the world I upgraded since I didn’t want to re install all my programs, and the upgrade went flawlessly.

I went for the upgrade option on my Surface 3. It was only 3 weeks old so had hardly anything on it from new. So far it’s running great. I’ve got my Father’s to do next which I’ll do the same way, and hopefully it’ll go as well. Then there’s his old laptop with Win7 that I’ll probably go for a clean install on. I’ll do the upgrade and remove everything option with that one. Did the upgrade and the only issue is installing apps from the store.

Only way I can install anything is if I switch to a local account temporarily. Other than that I’ve been fine. Now bring on we windows 10 for mobiles. It’s how I upgraded my Windows 8 to Windows 10 after the normal auto-update kept on failing for some odd reason. That failed on my too : only Windows Update worked.

I preformed the upgrade to windows 10 stuff, with the media creation tool, and kept all my data, but the update gave me a stupid display driver that gave me a lower resolution than what I has before, but I later resolved it, so performing a clean install is not in my agenda. Upgraded Win81 on my daughter’s HP Spectre x No problems noted. Clean installed on my Intel NUC. No problems other than sleep resizing and repositioning my windows still haven’t figured that one out yet.

What’s nice is that Win10 automagically installed drivers for the Epson WorkForce I got the other day. I had to download and install a huge driver package for our Win7 computers. I actually upgraded then reset through windows. I did a hard drive clean so it was the same as a clean install. Runs great. Bluetooth in windows 10 doesn’t work properly for me neither.. I use Bluetooth mouse for my laptop and i have to keep bluetooth device window open on screen just so i could use the mouse..

Already tried enable discovery mode which made no differences.. Being on the insider track, I’ve been doing in-place upgrades but I bought a Win10 Pro key from Amazon and used that to do a clean install to clean up the lingering issues I was having with So far nothing seems to be out of place.

Can anyone tell me what will happen if I update to 10 on a device with no driver support? None of the drivers have been updated even once since the laptop came out in , and the laptop is not on Acer’s list of devices supported for the upgrade. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! Drivers are crucial things to make everything work. You can try to upgrade your PC but no one quarantees it will work correctly. My PC works fine. Try installing it should work fine. But after upgrading through Windows update, reset your pc for it to work better as it would slow down.

How to fix windows store? I can not install all app from windows store because windows store closed by it self. A bit off topic here. Has anyone having dedicated keys issue in windows 10? I know that formating SSD disc may cause a serious speed problems.

If you are choosing to install a clean version of Windows and keep nothing would it delete the hard disk or format? No glitches after upgrading to from 8. I have Cortana deactivated and privacy strictly applied no reports, no ad entity etc. Did a clean install as i had to much junk on my pc Windows 10 is super fast though!!!

I did an upgrade, but since it downloaded the latvian version my native language , the option to keep programms was greyed out.

The Windows. Should’ve had reset your PC. Clean install was a lot faster than an upgrade on a legacy laptop. Runs much better on clean install until I installed Visual Studio 15 and. Net 4. Clean Install all the way for me. On 3 PC’s, including a 1st Gen. You basically have to Upgrade to Windows 10 using a different Drive, get this Installation registered, then install the M.

I installed the first technical preview last fall. It was so lousy I did a clean install if Windows 8. Finally, rejoined the living. I installed Windows 10 in leave and have no issues. I upgraded my Win 8. The iso was uploaded by an insider before July My product key obviously wasnt accepted so I decided to use the insider key planning to change the key once installation is done.

The problem now is that after removing the insider key which is no longer valid , I can’t use my Laptop’s original product key to downgrade from Win 10 Pro to Win 10 Home. The key is not being accepted. Please what should I do next?

Using the store upgrade method is out of the question due to my limited data bandwidth. Downloaded the full thing, got a stupid installation error, 2GB wasted. This has happened more than 10 times. I think clean install is the only way for me. Open command prompt as administrator and type wuauclt. Worked for me atleast. And so don’t do that now.. And don’t use Manual triggering method [ wuauclt. It also leads to the same issue Happened for many users..

After installation gets completed within some mins Uses internet your W10 will get activated I have 8 machines running Win7 32bit due to old software that won’t run under 64bit. The software is being retired finally and I want to move the computers to Windows 10 64bit. Am I correct that a clean install is the only way to make the move to 64bit? Yes, but make sure all your PCs’ support 64 bit processing.

To get converted from 32 bit x86 to 64 bit x64 1st you need to Re-install Windows 7 – Using Custom Installation Method don’t do clean install.. After this process your Pc’s will get converted into 64bit.. Activate your Windows 7 using Product key’s you have.. And wait for Microsoft to roll you W After getting upgraded to W10 you can do Clean install no.

Of times you want.. I upgraded from Win7 to 8. I basicly had to reinstall everything, and naturally lost all my settings when my roaming folder was overwritten. And no, the windows. I did a fresh windows 10 Usb install to a Samsung evo Gb SSD reconfigured some of the bios and boom smooth as silk. So, here is a question. I did a upgrade on one my licence of Windows 7 Ultimate I have of them , So, I want to do a clean install wipe back to factory, this includes formatting the partition on the SSD and reinstalling the OS from the ground up.

Do I need ot find jelly bean to capture the key to install? Does 10 need keys like 95 to 8. I have a Surface Pro 2 and it came with Windows 8 installed. I upgraded to 8. However on the rollback to a previous version option in the settings it only says Windows 7 is available which I can install.

Any ideas why? Tried an in-place upgrade first. Some things just didn’t get done well; ACT! Rolled back to 7, then did a clean install on a new SSD. Dual booting until I can get all my apps up and running on the W10 install. System say Windows is activated – did not have to enter a Product Key. Nine times is a charm! Unplugged all USBs, installed latest 8. My laptop won’t upgrade!! Wen I click “Get Windows 10” it just confirms I’m ready Any tips anyone please?!!

What about if I did upgrade from the Windows 8. Is it like a fresh install? I generally like clean installs, but I’m having nothing but troubles after doing one. Upgrade after upgrade during the preview builds was way more stable than what I’m dealing with now. This is a nicely written article and certainly makes the options clear. I did a clean install on a Preview version, and that really helped that device which had always been a bit sketchy. Now its rock solid.

On 3 other devices I did the Upgrade and they all work perfectly. None of them had trial software installed, or any pending issues, so that may be why I encountered no problems.

What about the “Reset this PC” option? It also reinstalls Windows, right? But I wonder what the differences are between this option and a clean install? Clean install cuz I had a bug from previous builds causing start menu , Cortana , action center not to start.

I reserved a copy of W10 and got the taskbar icon. After a while, I received a notice on my desktop that it was ready and proceeded with the in-place upgrade as directed. The upgrade failed the first ten times, then I defragmented the hard drive and did a few other things to clean up the system.

I approved all the Windows 7 updates and then tried to upgrade again to Windows 10 as directed. The upgrade failed another times. Finally, I figured out how to create an installation on my usb flash drive and managed to get the W10 installation to take.

Now however when I try to input the W7 product key for activation, it says it is not a valid product key. I would be really bummed if I had to buy windows 10 after all that. Now I am told that I can’t use the product key if I don’t first upgrade through the prescribed path.

Is this true????? Ms does it again! Feel like I’m back in Windows Vista days. You cannot do clean install before getting upgraded for W And you cannot use Windows 7 product keys for this process.. I have the same problem. My PC is a 5-year-old toshiba, very good thought, but when upgrading to W10 it chashed several times.

I made a clean instalation then, but the key I have is for W8. I’m trying to reach microsoft to know if they can provide a key for W10 considering I have a genuine one for W8. Will there be any problems? Pls advise, thanks.

Mine, the Mrs and our 2 kids. Theirs upgrades went fine 8. Me on the other hand win7 ended up doing a format and clean install. Microsoft is initially targeting this project towards laptops.

In August , Microsoft began testing changes to its handling of the user interface on convertible devices—downplaying the existing “Tablet Mode” option in favor of presenting the normal desktop with optimizations for touch when a keyboard is not present, such as increasing the space between taskbar buttons and displaying the virtual keyboard when text fields are selected. In April , the ability to run Linux applications using a graphical user interface , such as Audacity , directly in Windows, was introduced as a preview.

The basic hardware requirements to install Windows 10 were initially the same as those for Windows 8. As of the May update, the minimum disk space requirement has been increased to 32 GB. In addition, on new installations, Windows permanently reserves up to 7 GB of disk space in order to ensure proper installation of future feature updates.

The bit variants require a CPU that supports certain instructions. Some pre-built devices may be described as “certified” by Microsoft. Unlike Windows 8, OEMs are no longer required to make Secure Boot settings user-configurable, meaning that devices may optionally be locked to run only Microsoft-signed operating systems.

Windows 10 version and later do not support Intel Clover Trail system-on-chips, per Microsoft’s stated policy of only providing updates for devices during their OEM support period.

Starting with Windows 10 version , Microsoft will require new OEM devices to use bit processors, and will therefore cease the distribution of x86 bit variants of Windows 10 via OEM channels.

The bit variants of Windows 10 will remain available via non-OEM channels, and Microsoft will continue to “[provide] feature and security updates on these devices”. The maximum amount of RAM that Windows 10 can support varies depending on the product edition and the processor architecture. Windows 10 supports up to two physical processors. Critics characterized the initial release of Windows 10 as being rushed, citing the incomplete state of some of the operating system’s bundled software, such as the Edge web browser, as well as the stability of the operating system itself on launch.

The Edge browser was praised for its performance, although it was not in a feature-complete state at launch. While considering them a “great idea in principle”, concerns were shown for Microsoft’s focus on the universal app ecosystem:. It’s by no means certain that developers are going to flock to Windows 10 from iOS and Android simply because they can convert their apps easily.

It may well become a no-brainer for them, but at the moment a conscious decision is still required. Engadget was similarly positive, noting that the upgrade process was painless and that Windows 10’s user interface had balanced aspects of Windows 8 with those of previous versions with a more mature aesthetic.

Cortana’s always-on voice detection was considered to be its “true strength”, also citing its query capabilities and personalization features, but noting that it was not as pre-emptive as Google Now.

Windows 10’s stock applications were praised for being improved over their Windows 8 counterparts, and for supporting windowed modes. The Xbox app was also praised for its Xbox One streaming functionality, although recommending its use over a wired network because of inconsistent quality over Wi-Fi.

In conclusion, it was argued that “Windows 10 delivers the most refined desktop experience ever from Microsoft, and yet it’s so much more than that. It’s also a decent tablet OS, and it’s ready for a world filled with hybrid devices.

And, barring another baffling screwup, it looks like a significant step forward for mobile. Heck, it makes the Xbox One a more useful machine. Ars Technica panned the new Tablet mode interface for removing the charms and app switching, making the Start button harder to use by requiring users to reach for the button on the bottom-left rather than at the center of the screen when swiping with a thumb, and for making application switching less instantaneous through the use of Task View.

Microsoft Edge was praised for being “tremendously promising”, and “a much better browser than Internet Explorer ever was”, but criticized it for its lack of functionality on-launch. In conclusion, contrasting Windows 8 as being a “reliable” platform albeit consisting of unfinished concepts, Windows 10 was considered “the best Windows yet”, and was praised for having a better overall concept in its ability to be “comfortable and effective” across a wide array of form factors, but that it was buggier than previous versions of Windows were on-launch.

Critics have noted that Windows 10 heavily emphasizes freemium services, and contains various advertising facilities. Some outlets have considered these to be a hidden “cost” of the free upgrade offer.

Up to August , Windows 10 usage was increasing, with it then plateauing , [] while eventually in , it became more popular than Windows 7 [] [] though Windows 7 was still more used in some countries in Asia and Africa in As of March [update] , the operating system is running on over a billion devices, reaching the goal set by Microsoft two years after the initial deadline.

Twenty-four hours after it was released, Microsoft announced that over 14 million devices were running Windows According to StatCounter, Windows 10 overtook Windows 8. For one week in late November , Windows 10 overtook first rank from Windows 7 in the United States, before losing it again. In mid-January , Windows 10 had a slightly higher global market share than Windows 7, [] with it noticeably more popular on weekends, [] while popularity varies widely by region, e.

Windows 10 was then still behind in Africa [] and far ahead in some other regions e. Windows 10 Home is permanently set to download all updates automatically, including cumulative updates, security patches, and drivers, and users cannot individually select updates to install or not. Concerns were raised that because of these changes, users would be unable to skip the automatic installation of updates that are faulty or cause issues with certain system configurations—although build upgrades will also be subject to public beta testing via Windows Insider program.

An example of such a situation occurred prior to the general release of the operating system, when an Nvidia graphics card driver that was automatically pushed to Windows 10 users via Windows Update caused issues that prevented the use of certain functions, or prevented their system from booting at all.

Criticism was also directed towards Microsoft’s decision to no longer provide specific details on the contents of cumulative updates for Windows Some users reported that during the installation of the November upgrade, some applications particularly utility programs such as CPU-Z and Speccy were automatically uninstalled during the upgrade process, and some default programs were reset to Microsoft-specified defaults such as Photos app, and Microsoft Edge for PDF viewing , both without warning.

Further issues were discovered upon the launch of the Anniversary Update “Redstone” , including a bug that caused some devices to freeze but addressed by cumulative update KB, released on August 31, , [] [] and that fundamental changes to how Windows handles webcams had caused many to stop working. A Gartner analyst felt that Windows 10 Pro was becoming increasingly inappropriate for use in enterprise environments because of support policy changes by Microsoft, including consumer-oriented upgrade lifecycle length, and only offering extended support for individual builds to Enterprise and Education editions of Windows Critics have acknowledged that Microsoft’s update and testing practices had been affecting the overall quality of Windows In particular, it was pointed out that Microsoft’s internal testing departments had been prominently affected by a major round of layoffs undertaken by the company in Microsoft relies primarily on user testing and bug reports via the Windows Insider program which may not always be of sufficient quality to identify a bug , as well as correspondence with OEMs and other stakeholders.

In the wake of the known folder redirection data loss bug in the version , it was pointed out that bug reports describing the issue had been present on the Feedback Hub app for several months prior to the public release. Following the incident, Microsoft updated Feedback Hub so that users may specify the severity of a particular bug report.

When announcing the resumption of ‘s rollout, Microsoft stated that it planned to be more transparent in its handling of update quality in the future, through a series of blog posts that will detail its testing process and the planned development of a “dashboard” that will indicate the rollout progress of future updates. Microsoft was criticized for the tactics that it used to promote its free upgrade campaign for Windows 10, including adware -like behaviors, [] using deceptive user interfaces to coax users into installing the operating system, [] [] [] [] downloading installation files without user consent, [] [] and making it difficult for users to suppress the advertising and notifications if they did not wish to upgrade to In September , it was reported that Microsoft was triggering automatic downloads of Windows 10 installation files on all compatible Windows 7 or 8.

Microsoft officially confirmed the change, claiming it was “an industry practice that reduces the time for installation and ensures device readiness. Other critics argued that Microsoft should not have triggered any downloading of Windows 10 installation files without user consent. In October , Windows 10 began to appear as an “Optional” update on the Windows Update interface, but pre-selected for installation on some systems.

A Microsoft spokesperson said that this was a mistake, and that the download would no longer be pre-selected by default. In March , some users also alleged that their Windows 7 and 8. It was concluded that these users may have unknowingly clicked the “Accept” prompt without full knowledge that this would begin the upgrade.

On January 21, , Microsoft was sued in small claims court by a user whose computer had attempted to upgrade to Windows 10 without her consent shortly after the release of the operating system. The upgrade failed, and her computer was left in a broken state thereafter, which disrupted the ability to run her travel agency.

However, in May , Microsoft dropped the appeal and chose to pay the damages. Shortly after the suit was reported on by the Seattle Times , Microsoft confirmed it was updating the GWX software once again to add more explicit options for opting out of a free Windows 10 upgrade; [] [] [] the final notification was a full-screen pop-up window notifying users of the impending end of the free upgrade offer, and contained “Remind me later”, “Do not notify me again” and “Notify me three more times” as options.

In March , Microsoft announced that it would display notifications informing users on Windows 7 devices of the upcoming end of extended support for the platform, and direct users to a website urging them to upgrade to Windows 10 or purchase new hardware. This dialog will be similar to the previous Windows 10 upgrade prompts, but will not explicitly mention Windows Privacy advocates and other critics have expressed concern regarding Windows 10’s privacy policies and its collection and use of customer data.

Users can opt out from most of this data collection, [] [] but telemetry data for error reporting and usage is also sent to Microsoft, and this cannot be disabled on non-Enterprise editions of Windows Rock Paper Shotgun writer Alec Meer argued that Microsoft’s intent for this data collection lacked transparency, stating that “there is no world in which 45 pages of policy documents and opt-out settings split across 13 different settings screens and an external website constitutes ‘real transparency’.

The Russian government had passed a federal law requiring all online services to store the data of Russian users on servers within the country by September or be blocked. But Microsoft is held to a different standard than other companies”. The Microsoft Services agreement reads that the company’s online services may automatically “download software updates or configuration changes, including those that prevent you from accessing the Services, playing counterfeit games, or using unauthorized hardware peripheral devices.
