Great, thanks!

Thanks for the replies. Yup, Win 7 is retail, used on a PC I assembled. I have the original disc w/product key. In fact, that box is one of the ones I'm considering upgrading to Win 10. But...

Hi, I have an activated W10 install in Parallels VM on my Macbook Pro. I'd like to remove the VM and use the license on another computer.

If it matters, the VM was originally a Windows 7...

Yes, BSOD, lol. Thanks for the replies, that's a useful resource. Oh well, I've done the clean install. Not too bad. It's more of a pain getting the system set up the same way, just how I like it. So...

Another one-month new issue [emoji849]

Santa gave me a new i7 Surface Laptop that I immediately upgraded to W10 Pro. Well, I seem to have a weekly BSD, and many suggestions online say to try a...

If anyone's interested, how to uninstall store apps that have a disabled "uninstall" button:

How to Uninstall and Restore Windows 10’s Built-in Apps

Are there any (pre-installed) Microsoft Store apps that I should keep (i.e. might be *dangerous" if removed)?

I realized some have the Uninstall button disabled in Settings - > Apps/Features. I...

Thanks for the reply. I now only have these enabled (even I don't really know what many of these do). Seems to help. I'll go w/this for awhile and see how it goes.

Anyone know if I can safely disable anything here not already disabled? I'm experiencing instability during startup (freezing, taking too long, task bar not showing up, etc). Thank you.

Boot Camp essentially determines on which hard disk partition your OS exists at start-up. If it detects more than one partition, each with an OS, it prompts for a selection (if no default is...

Hi. I installed W10 on my Yoga 2 Pro on day 1. Recently sold that, got a MBP, installed W7 in a VM and upgraded that to W10.

Got a couple more W8.* computers in our household that will be...

Maybe try the Lenovo site for a download. I did an in-place W10 upgrade and Energy Mgr still works.

Thanks. It seems like, for anyone with an OK experience, there's someone else who's had a not-so-good one.

My biggest concern is potentially losing a day of work cuz I'm wasting time...

I've stuck with W7 'till now, but I think I'm close to upgrading my dev ThinkPad to W10.

I'm wondering if these issues have been resolved, or anyone else can share their W10/VS20xx experience?
...

Thanks, it's very possible I lost sight of that. "Upgrades now..." would just close itself during/after downloading, with no clue what to do next.

Putting the installation media on a USB storage...

Yeah, I ended up installing from a flash drive.

When selecting "Upgrade This PC", is there a way to get the "Select language, architecture & edition" screen to show up?

I went through this process on the computer before, but I selected the...

Everything You Can Ask Cortana to Do in Windows 10

There are also Chrome extensions that will make Cortana use Google instead of Bing.

Some things you can try:

Tools -> Options -> Environment -> General
Uncheck "Automatically adjust visual experience based on client performance"
Uncheck "Use hardware graphics acceleration if...

Thanks for the reply. I updated some Windows 10 drivers from the Lenovo site - one was for the touchpad and keyboard, can't recall what else I installed, but my problem appears to be fixed. It...

Thanks for the replies. Yes, that seems like the obvious thing to do. I was just thrown off by "Next time you sign into Windows you'll use your Microsoft account" appearing below that link. I...

I used a local account, not my Microsoft account, when signing into my computer when it had Windows 8.1, and that's also the case after installing Windows 10.

When I try to sign into the Windows...

Good to know, I think. Battery life on my Yoga 2 Pro has taken a noticeable hit since installing the new OS.

Hmm, I clicked "no thanks", but might have to give her a chance.

Overall, I like the result of blending the metro/tile look w/the traditional desktop. As has been mentioned, it's probably what 8 should have been. I don't think I l'll use Cortana. I'm not sure...
