That's on a box that was originally upgraded from Win 7 Pro 64bit using the free upgrade offer.
On a test box I have changed:
CPU - different model, L2 Cache and speed.
RAM - different make, specs and capacity.
HDD - different make, cache and capacity.
Windows 10 stayed activated for...
OK, just so we're clear:
Were you running Windows 8.1 on the same rig without issues?
When you upgraded to Windows 10 did it run without issues?
What graphics card are you using?
Does anyone know if there's an ETA for when Win 10 RTM will be rolling out on supported Lumia phones?
If your PC hard drive becomes unbootable you will need a recovery disc in order to boot your PC and restore one of your backup system images.
You can use Macrium Reflect to create this recovery...
There are no Win 10 drivers for that motherboard, and with the extra gubbins it has, I'd say that's the root cause of your troubles.
Your best bet is to install all the Windows 8.1 drivers from...
You don't need to do anything to the drive besides plug it in.
Use Macrium Reflect Free and choose a folder on the external drive as the save location, that's it.
You configure all that...
I've changed the RAM and hard drive on a test box, clean installed Win 10 and it activated. I shall be changing the CPU at some point this week to see if activation sticks.
The screenshot is a screenshot, lol. As I said, it was taken when I was organising files using File Explorer; so it consists of the taskbar and File Explorer maximised. From the time shown, the...
I started with the ZX Spectrum operating system, storage was audio cassette.
First email account was circa '84.
First hard drive was a whopping 10MB!
In 2015, PCs and operating systems are...
That's interesting, so we can strongly assume that these screenshots are part of the feedback system.
As I already stated: I have never run the feedback app on the machine in question and have...
Please read all the posts thoroughly before responding with irrelevant, unhelpful, generic comments.
The Volume Shadow Copy service doesn't need to be running all the time or set to Automatic.
It's only used when an app requests it, e.g. a backup app.
There is no reason to have it set to...
So, in the absence of any other plausible explanation, I'm holding to the suspicion that stealth screenshots are being taken and uploaded to MS without the users knowledge. The stealth process failed...
I decided to do a forensic analysis of the USN Journal to see if other file activity, at the time of the screenshot, would shed light on the matter.
Low and behold, all entries prior to the...
OK, just opened the Windows Feedback app for the first time. You have to login with a Microsoft account. The machine has only ever had a local account. So, direct interaction with the Windows...
I have never opened the Windows Feedback app. Is there any key combination that could trigger the same behaviour.
In Libraries\Pictures:

I've just discovered a folder, in the pictures folder, called 'Feedback' which contained a sub-folder with a GUID for a name. This sub-folder contained a screenshot called Capture001.png.

Have you tried just pressing F10 or F9 instead?
OK, then it's quite unlikely that the ESC key won't work, it's just a matter of hitting it at the right time, so persevere.
Try hitting it repeatedly like a madman from the moment you turn on,...
Yeah, can you give your monitor make and model, you should be able to do something like this:
Can you confirm the following:
We're talking about the HP Pavilion DV6 6053ea
You're pressing the ESC key when you turn it on, before Windows starts booting
Pressing the ESC key doesn't...
Can't you do something like split the monitor into three displays, extend the desktop and have the taskbar only on the middle display?
