Hello,

I did a clean install of Win10 x64 after completely wiping the HDD clean using diskpart...clean all.

Everything installed ok it seems, but for an extra mysterious profile, so there are...

Excellent, much obliged, Bree! :)

Hi, I want to reinstall Win10. It was previously an upgrade from win7 but 32-bit, and now I want to install 64-bit, will it still get the digital entitlement? Thank you :)

I'll give it a shot, thanks Brink :)

Hello,

I wan to re-install Win10 on a SSD, but want to do a clean-all command from diskpart first (virus issues). However, upon trying to do a secure erase first in Command Prompt (admin) -...

Oh I see. So even if I completely wipe my HDD and SSD as shown in this tutorial - SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation - Windows 7 Help Forums then the digital entitlement should still...

Hi Bree,

Thanks for your explanation. Yes, I am referring to the upgrade 1607. I've always had Windows updates on automatic nothing deferred, so I'm not sure why there have sometimes been...

Hello,

My little netbook is having trouble installing Build 1607. Currently I have Win10 Pro 32-bit, Build 10240. There was a recent update to that build, it installed fine, and now the only...

Hello,

So, using Firefox and protected (I thought) by AVIRA and Comodo, I logged on a Yahoo community forum to request info about the latest email infiltration fiasco. Logged out. Was logged in...

Hello, once again another one of these pop-ups that freezes Chrome and gives a phone number to call popped up. I ran through everything, and in AdwCleaner there were 4 things to delete. "Tracing"...

Hi Navy, yes, they're all activated with a digital entitlement. My question isn't about how to clean re-install, but whether or not optimizing other HDDs first will somehow get rid of the digital...

Navy, before I reinstalled Win 7, I optimized my HDD following these steps - SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation - Windows 7 Help Forums (I'm assuming it's the same for Win 10). Then I...

Hi simrick,

Thanks for the feedback :D Here are the results:
- I ran RKill with Avira off and there's no issue with the Hosts file, thankfully.
- It's a bit disconcerting that Trovi...

Hello, Yes the MBAM was the first scan I did after restarting my computer when that weird site prevented me from using Chrome. And yes, I changed the 'rootkit' to 'on' in the settings so the scan...

Is the bold part a lark? If not, then, no, my computer was not talking to me :) I followed all your instructions, simrick, and things seem to be clean. RKill just couldn't open and edit the Hosts...

Hello,

Not sure if this is related to the original issue, but I mistakenly went to a wrong website (cinplex.com rather than cineplex.com) and ended up with this:

I couldn't open any new...

It IS a lot of people, because I've been reading around various forums. While I appreciate responses in general, I don't know why you're posting on a 'solved' thread, and with a prickly, contrarian...

Oh really? I didn't realize that, thanks! I don't understand how that's possible with a clean install (I guess they have a record of a digital entitlement?), but it's good to know. I've already...

^^ Excellent, very clear, got it. I need to make another ISO for the 32-bit, but can use the existing 64-bit ISO for the 1TB HDD (even if I'd originally selected it for 'existing' computer......

Thanks, Navy and simrick for your feedback. Just to clarify about the Genuine Ticket - I don't recall if I chose originally to make the ISO for existing or 'another' computer. So to be precise, that...

Hello,

Since the clean install worked so well on my 320GB HDD, I want to potentially do it as well to two other computers, both of which already have Windows 10 Pro installed via the upgrade....

Due to an ethernet driver issue that prevented net connection after the ISO upgrade, I decided to do a clean install after all, and just wanted to say thanks very much for the brilliant tutorials...

Seems like quite a few people have run into this issue, with different fixes working, none of which did for me. A clean install has everything functioning smoothly. Not sure if Windows has a...

I uninstalled then reinstalled the Realtek driver from the RealTek website which had the same yellow exclamation mark result, but when I ran troubleshooter it now says that 'there's a problem with...

Didn't work...
