Mine activated again as soon as I got internet up and running, without releasing it. The biggest question now is, when I sell My old MoBo CPU and RAM, will the new owner be able to get access to my...

I actually bump this one, as I still have the same problem, that 'System image' want to backup my D: too, that is my Steam and other games only drive! And nothing tells me it has system files (more...

Worked like a charm! Only thing it couldn't 'auto'-add were network-drivers, and as I have no dvd, I downloaded them before tearing it apart.

Thanks!

Yeah when I last updated Op-system, I added a 250 GB SSD, to install Win 10 on.
I had a really stupid Bios, where you had to go to a special bios-page to 'force' it to install on C: ,even thou it...

I just ordered a new CPU, MoBo and Ram, and want to keep my W10 installation exactly as it is. Including every little customization to the looks and what program starts what I now use. Including...

Also get this when changing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsBackup validconfig 0 and validsystembackup 0

(never mind the F: set as active, it's not now)

And checked with diskpart that there actually only is one system drive.

When making a backup Win 10 insists that my D: 'games only' drive is a system drive too? and wants to back it up.
I never have had any Op-sys installed on it, what are the easiest way to find out...

Mine gets resetted to 1 min after each reboot too :(

Bought a Win 10 pro retail for 285$ today.. I'll get it next week I hope.. then I dare to do a clean install

My problem is that when I have my G27 wheel connected, screen saver never kicks in, nor does 'screen off' i can still run the preview and move the wheel and pedals around without interrupting...

Weren't there a notion about dual boots, and win 10 takes it away for being the 'one kernel to rule them all'?

:) Win 10 is still activated and says it will stay active forever (on this machine) But we'll see about that.... without teeth I can't bite myself when All of a sudden I'm locked out of my op-sys

We don't .. and I'd prefer to take it on a 'payoff-plan' as I'm about to spend some money at the damn dentist next month :cry:

They claimed it to only be usable as clear install.. and I don't want to waste 210$ on something that 'might' work.. then I'll just chug along with the 'free upgrade' until retail is released.

Managed to get an answer from the place I ordered it from, and they said it was just a one time thing.. and only worked as a standalone, not upgradable like the one I have today. So I canceled the...

Mine.. Idle (well watching a movie)

Interesting.. But I'm still afraid of it being tied with my crappy mobo and AMD FX 8350 processor that have to be changed in a few years, but by that time the retail might be out and/or the OEM...

I can't find it (10 pro english (nor swedish) in Sweden (retail) only OEM.. that I already ordered (before checking if it would work on next machine too) But it's currently working on my win7...

Damnit! ..sorry thanks for the answer!

..Or will I be able to install it on the next computer I buy too? (will not have it active on old computer as it will be salvaged for parts) Any difference between Retail and OEM?
