I am getting it as I type. :)

I had problems activating 10159 after upgrade from 10130 (official) so I used a key I found elsewhere - realised after it was the Enterprise key and now my Insider Pro has become Insider Enterprise.

Any way to get back easily to Pro? Any need to if full reinstall is the only way?

If it is a dark color, it is hard to tell it is transparent. It is not as transparent as the start menu.

Anybody having Catalyst Control Center issues? I've been plagued with ccc has stopped working messages on earlier builds and just gave up running 10 on my laptop. I'd also like to know if anybody is running a USB monitor via DisplayLink? I could never get that to work in Windows 10, even with the beta 10 drivers from the Displaylink site.

I had these issues it seems the windows update version (the engineer release) gets messed up by the AMD Win8 version.

Here's how I dealt with the issue succesfully.

Uninstalled any version of CCC on the system and rebooted. Went into admin tools and ran a full disk cleanup including system files and especially update files. In C:/AMD or C:/Program Files/AMD you should have a folder called WU-CCC2 or something similar. This is the windows 10 specific version from windows update. Run the setup in there and reboot. Hopefully if it worked like it did for me you should be all good. Subsequent updates have been successful and the issue is only introduced again if you attempt to use a non windows update version of CCC.

A registry cleanup after uninstalling current versions maybe a good step too.

Hope this helps, let me know :)

I'm already logged in with my MS account - how do you validate your copy?

If memory serves me (it very well may not, my short term memory sucks), it's under settings - Accounts - Your Account. Under your username if it hasn't be validated it'll have a link to do so.

so-o-o-o-o.....just as i was trying to post something, my computer shutdown to install 10159. Seems it was set to install at 9:30, but since i was on battery, it delayed. The minuted i plugged in, down it went - right in the middle of my work!

Ms had better do something about that!

ouch!

Are we confusing 'validate' with 'verify'? What frackingoil says is how you VERIFY your particular MS Account so you can use the Store and various synchronizations, etc. Typically you request to verify, and MS emails you a code to enter, and then you're good to go.

You validate, or more accurately, 'activate' your OS installation by entering a valid Product Key in System properties.

So it's still hard to get network properties. I was hoping this was going to be fixed before RTM.

Sorry, what?

Builds up to and including 10130 allowed upgrading without an MS account. If you want anything after 10159, however, you'll have to login to an MS account OR format to 10130 then upgrade from a local account lol

nope can only update from 10130 with a MS account
