Thank you, thank you that did it now activated! Also I have Macrium V7 just haven't installed yet

Yes that’s what I was thinking about but I don’t see anywhere under ‘Activation’ where it says activated with a digital license?

Ok apparently everything went smoothly I left it alone after answering the pertinent questions and next thing I know the Windows 10 desktop was up. It didn’t ask me to login I guess because my son...

I’m going through the repair upgrade now but what’s the reason for in the step asking if you want to download updates, drivers, etc. to check not right now?

Yep same English & 64 bit so I'll leave checked.

Should "Use the recommended options for this pc" be checked or unchecked?

Ok I downloaded an ISO file to his desktop. Can I just create a bootable flash drive from my computer to use on his that way I don't need anymore access to his computer right now?

Thanks think I'll go ahead and download an ISO to his desktop when he's not using it and also create a bootable flash drive when I have more access to it.

Do you guys recommend I use the Media Creation Tool to download the Windows 10 ISO file or just download the ISO directly from Microsoft's website?

None I haven't started yet and may not for a few days. It's my son's computer so I have to find a time he's not using it for a few days but we're definitely going to do it.

Maybe a little confused but I...

Yes I was able to delete in Safe Mode.

Got to run be back in the morning!

Ok it won't let me delete arcctrl.sys says it is open in another program... doesn't make sense to me. Revo is not showing anything related to ArcSoft that's the first place I looked.

I'm wonder if...

I'm not even seeing Arcsoft Total Media Theater on my computer and thus I can't even uninstall it... apparently at one time I did have it though. Can I just delete this arcctrl.sys file?

I'll just order this just will take a couple of days. Once I get it you're wanting me to put a Repair Version on it?
