I have a pretty old motherboard (no UEFI etc.) and i had no problem with activating my clean windows 10 installation.

Thats because those iso files are "2in1" meaning if you would download the "Windows 10" file it will allow you to install either Pro or Home. E.g. during a clean install after the EULA-agreement you...

We all know by now the following link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Some people claim to be able to download the iso files directly while others will only see the...

Have a look at my post: Windows 10 Build 10240 for PC is now available - Page 166 - Windows 10 Forums
You can download the iso file directly from windows this way and if you have by any chance two...

During a clean install (meaning you delete all partitions before) windows itself will create two partitions. Partition 1 - System Reserved and Partition 2 - C:.

1. Probably no. I installed windows 8.1 twice and even after i upgraded the first installation to windows 10 it asked me to reserve windows 10 during the second installation (but i had to force the...

The option is still there but it only redirects you back to the Settings > Updates > Recovery Menu. (On a clean install)

Let me also add something to this topic: It seems like it does not matter if you are an insider or logged in with your msa. If you once upgraded to windows 10 from 8.1 or 7 then the "device" itself...

Yes i know what he did. But it remains a fact, that if you clean install 10240 (from a converted esd) you get the same eula/agreement which you have to accept in order to start the installation. And...

Not sure if i understand it right, but this agreement would be probably the same as the one you have to agree when clean installing 10240, right?!
