Just had a look at the creative website and they wont have any drivers available for most of their sound cards till at least October.

I've also having problems with firefox it loads ok but wants to check it's the default browser everytime I open it even though I have checked the box saying it is.

Also windows bit defender is on by default and is greyed out so you can't turn it off I'm sure there is a work around for this but it doesn't appear to be conflicting with my Norton software.

Other than that I haven't noticed anything else yet but not had a chance to play around with it yet.

As with any op system it's finding things but I aren't keen on upgrades like fresh installs as things tend to work better so I might try a fresh install.

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.

What is everyone running as an A/V on W10?



I've found nod32 to be a bit of a lag recently. Looking at AV-Comparatives..

Avira looks the best bet with Avast for outright performance.

What a PITA system that is, that you cannot activate until you have not only logged in with your account but also validated the account on your pc which, I can understand for security reasons but you would, have thought that Microsoft Customer Support would have asked for that to be verified first.


**Edit**

For those who have a similar issue to what I have had all day here is what I needed to do in the end.

1: Install Windows 7/8/8.1

2: Install all updates to the point there is none left

3: Upgrade Windows 8 to Windows 8.1

4: Install the Windows 10 Upgrade so that you have Windows 10 installed

5: Ensure you are logged in to a Microsoft Live Account for logging in etc

6: Ensure Windows 10 is activated

7: Download Windows 10 Media Creator Tool

8: Create the ISO file for the version of Windows 10 that is installed IE Home, Pro etc

9: Download Magic Jelly Bean, install it and run it to obtain the Windows 10 key.

10: Burn the ISO to DVD or create a USB Installer using Rufus

11: Carry out a clean install of Windows 10 using the ISO you created.

12: Ensure that when you install it, that you use the key you get from Magic Jelly Bean

13: Ensure once the install is complete that you are logged in using your Windows Live login details

14: Verify your Live account on the machine

15: Check the activation status to ensure you are fully activated

16: Store the key from Magic Jelly Bean somewhere safe as you will need that in the future for any further clean installs if, it does not pick it up from your live account.

It is a PITA way to have to do it, since Microsoft say your Windows 7/8/8.1 key should work but it only took me nearly 12 hours to finally figure it out after spending nearly, 4 hours in total on the phone to Microsoft and doing around 10 clean installs and upgrades of Windows 8/8.1 & 10.

Now my main pc is sorted I now have to deal with my lan/media pc.

you just do a upgrade and install windows 10. maybe it changed the key for windows 10.
I didn't use KeyFinder Magical Jelly Bean to find windows 10 key.

I was thinking clean install will automatically detect my BIOS ID (motherboard) to activate windows 10. Microsoft didn't give me windows 10 serial key by E-mail or anything else.
it would have made life easy if Microsoft just gave the windows 10 key by e-mail.

they did say you should upgrade first then do a clean install, so I was thinking Microsoft will save my computer ID on there system. so you can install and clean install anytime.
but will wait for few days and see what happens
