Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion

Not sure if this is the place to put my question but as this thread is about Windows 10 here goes. Apologies in advance if I use the wrong terminology and if the team want my questions in a separate thread I am more than happy for my post to be moved.

My laptop came with Windows 8.0 just before 8.1 was released and I updated without a problem using the windows store links. I have registered for the upgrade and assume the preliminary downloads are being sent to my laptop prior to my receiving the full copy.

Before I install Windows 10 is there any housekeeping I should do, I intend to run a full virus/malware sweep to make sure there is nothing nasty lurking about and thought I would also run CCleaner. Is there anything else you guys would recommend?

I use startisback and was wondering if I ought to disable this?

Also can any of you give me any other tips for a smoothish changeover to the new version.

I have been reading this thread with great interest but know my poor heart wouldn't be able to cope with doing anything resembling the tweaking you guys seem to have been doing, so once I have done all I can ... I just want to be able to press 'install' and then close my eyes tightly when I decide to do the deed.
