Windows 10 on Old Equipment
So I logged in to my insider account and downloaded Windows 10 (I think I downloaded the 10240, because I skipped entering the activation code. I entered it later but it won't activate for now. When I run the ver command it shows as 10240.
I installed it on an HP small form factor PC with a P4 3 GHz and 1 GB of RAM. I just cannot believe how fast it runs. It boots to the logon screen in 8 seconds (I am not kidding). This machine came with XP.
I'm surprised how little you can do with the built in administrator account. I know it's bad practice, but that should be up to the user.
So is there a way to activate this build at this point? It was a fresh installation. I want to continue with insider builds on this secondary machine.
