Force the update but first go into c:/windows/software distribution/download and delete everything in that folder.

Then load up windows update but don't click update.

Load up a CMD with administration permission and type in wuauclt.exe/update now

Press return then hit update on windows update, whilst it's searching do the CMD command again

I think i will just stay on the 10240 insider preview for a good while until all the upgrade problems have been explained as don't feel like installing Windows 8.1 and all the updates again!

Looks like the new Windows 10 activation system is just slow, all my non-activated Windows 10 devices appear to have re-activated overnight

for those having trouble activating sit tight for a couple of days

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Yeah, the activation servers were clearly being hammered.

So far so good for the devices I have chucked Win 10 on, including my partners laptop which totally rejected the preview build as the keyboard and touchpad didn't work before.

I ring Microsoft he said wait for 2 or 3 days. if not still working ring again

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Has anyone figured out a way of making windows open in the exact same location each time they're opened in Windows 10?

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Yep my M-ITX system is back on Windows 8.1 at the moment, and then going to upgrade it to Windows 10 as although I did a back up previously I forgot I have no DVD drive in that system and my external one, is broke so I cannot use that.

Called Microsoft this morning to get my ITX system activated and they told me that my key had been blocked, for multiple activation attempts failing and that I would need to buy a new key, as soon as I refused I was told to wait 2 to 7 days for the system to be fixed and try again.

I am sorry but how can a company like Microsoft not understand, that a Windows 7/8/8.1 key will not activate a Windows 10 OS and that you need a Windows 10 key.

Microsoft could have saved themselves a whole heap of issues by just emailing people a Product Key, and saying to use that to activate your copy of Windows 10, but then again Microsoft and Common Sense don't go together that well.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

They are doing staggered updates. I think the UK isn't suppose to be upgrading yet, which may explain some of the issues.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I installed it by other means, a website giving a link to down load it. I had issues with my killer network card/ethernet.

Ethernet was dropping connection randomly and my wifi wouldn't connect at all so removed the driver and reinstalled and that totally bombed it wouldn't work at all. went to pc specialists site downloaded the windows 10 driver and that killed it full stop so had a back up of windows 8.1 driver and installed that and so far wifi is back working ok

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

This is the sort of thing I am afraid of. I decide to upgrade and something goes wrong, I have no way of getting back on here to get help, very worrying when you are not too IT savvy. :erm::shocking::Yikes:

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

There is no way I am going to upgrade until I see lots of reports that the upgrade can be carried out smoothly. For instance at the moment there seem to be issues with certain drivers. Maybe after Microsoft issue their first update I will change my mind but this is only a day into the operation and we have a whole year in which to get Windows 10 for free.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Jo I entirely agree, too many whatevers?, I can wait, early days yet.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

So I finally have both machines running with clean installs that are fully activated, and in the process of loading programs, games and other software etc.

I have found though that suddenly I have 2 logins showing up on the login page which is preventing the auto login from happening which, I am now trying to figure out how to resolve as in the user accounts section there is only my main live account showing up, and everywhere I look there is only one user which is my live account, but the login page is showing a local account as well.

That is on both pc's and I am wondering if it has something to do with me changing the computer names so they are not "PC-XXXXXXX" and instead, are labelled correctly as "Gaming" & "Media", if that is what has caused it then it's yet another PITA issue to fix.
