Meh, I've already installed Windows 7 on the Dell. I just finally had enough of it. I've still got 10 on my laptop to play with.
Just because Alpha's an MVP, he may not be a Windows one. <Hi Alpha> Of course, I haven't a clue what his MVPness might be, but if he should have a problem and I know the answer, I'm not shy about telling him (or anyone else) what I think I know. :)
Just as a FYI, there are many, many MVPs in many, many different areas of Microsoft products. I was one for about three years, but because Microsoft decided to abandon "my" product, I no longer am. No biggie . . . I still get to test new product!
So, I try to carefully read the problem someone's having and then reply accordingly. Sometimes, in spite of myself, I give advice/information the other person doesn't need. :) Oh, well, these guys and gals are very forgiving when we accidentally put our feets into it . . .
My official titleiswas Windows Expert-Consumer, that's what it says on my ID card anyway. I honestly don't consider myself an expert, but I like to think I do know a thing or two when it counts. That title is going to change, I got an e-mail with the new tittle. My Technical Expertise is now Windows Experience. I liked the old title better but hey. Microsoft MVP is a free perk so if that's what they want to call me fine by me.
When the install goes to Preparing you need to grab the esd file before it's done that stage.
I missed it two times two weeks ago before catching it. I guess that's when Kari posted this in his tut.
It's nice, year three for me. The free MSDN subscription is the big bonus. Not the free product keys either. The nice clean unaltered ISO's you know you can trust using are a god send. No more having to hunt something up on the internet and wonder if it's been modified in a bad way. Although, its not as bad as it used to be now that Microsoft have the Media Creation Tool for Windows 8 that everybody can use. Hopefully they do something similar for Windows 10.
