berzerkmonkey posted:Has anyone tried an upgrade in a domain environment? We've got 300-ish Win 7 PCs and want to do a Win 10 rollout as painlessly as possible. Unfortunately, our network speeds suck rear end, but I can't seem to find any way to download the source files to USB and install from there. Currently, the steps are: Way more steps than needed. No need to leave and rejoin the domain, no need to install the two updates. Try running wuauclt /upgradenow from an elevated command prompt.

Open a command prompt and the build number will be at the top. To roll back look in the update and recovery settings, or hold a shift key and reboot the computer, then go to troubleshooting.

ThermoPhysical posted:Yeah, I have the Candy Crush problem too. It's weird because I never installed it or even thought about installing it. It will probably have a CSM option in there, which is basically enabling BIOS mode on a UEFI board. UEFI boots faster, in a nutshell.

frunksock posted:My current PC has Windows 7 but I have no idea where the product key is. I'm building a new PC and I'd like to start with a clean install of Windows 10 on it. Do I have any options? I'm guessing I could put the disk from my old PC into the new one, get Windows 7 to come to terms with the fact that it's a new PC, and then upgrade, but I'd much rather have a clean Windows 10 install, even though I won't be using the old PC anymore. Do I have to give MS $200 or whatever? Use a keyfinder to get your product key.

ToxicFrog posted:Apropos of my earlier "will upgrading to win10 and then swapping motherboards after the upgrade window expires nuke my win10 install" question, apparently some people have successfully done it within the upgrade window, by swapping motherboards and then calling MS support to re-activate. And there's this tweet from some guy at microsoft saying that this should work in general (as it did for win7 and win8). I swapped my motherboard/CPU a few weeks ago, Windows reactivated without hassle after I put my Windows 8 key back in.

ToxicFrog posted:As in, you did a hardware upgrade, W10 deactivated, and you got it to prompt you for a key, entered your W7 key, and it started working again? Without needing to reinstall or contact support? Because everything I've read says that can't be done, and if that's wrong, I would love to know it.

You can pin and shift all the tiles you want and when I search for a program from there it actually shows it to me instead of some random program folder like 7 always used to. The start menu is fine, but the search is crap: http://imgur.com/In9PGmj

bigis posted:I ditched team viewer and have started using the native Win10 RDP which has a nice iPhone app. It works well on LAN but is it safe to port forward so I can use it from elsewhere? If you use port redirection rather that port forwarding you'll probably be OK. VPN would be much better though.

Aquila posted:So I am building a decent gaming PC for my nephew out of leftover computer parts I have and so I guess I need a Windows 10 license for it. Is there anyway to get the free Windows 10 upgrade for this system? Since I am using my windows license on my current system I don't have anything I could apply to the upgrade. Sign him up as an insider?

YF-23 posted:So yesterday I got a new laptop running Windows 10. The Windows version is Greek, which to me isn't the most ideal thing since it makes comparing my system with internet instructions etc. a pain. But I'm running across a bigger problem now; a lot of the system's file system is also translated, which is to say, the Users folder is called Χρήστες, Program Files is called Αρχεία Εφαρμογών, and a lot of things in general are in Greekrunes. I would just grab a disc and reinstall it with the right language.

YF-23 posted:I resolved it by installing the English language pack (which I'd thought I did, but it was actually just the input language). Dropbox still has issues but that's something I need to take up to their tech support instead of Windows'. That fixed the file system stuff as well? Colour me surprised. Useful to know, though.

If your current computer says that your licence is attached to your Microsoft account, you should be OK. That's the theory anyone, not sure anyone here has tried it yet.
