Corona Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 And Hazelnut, where is that link to download Win10 directly from Microsoft? I thought you posted it, that's where I got Win10 from, but I can't find that post now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corona Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Yes, How To Geek is the site but I don't see any link there to directly install Win 10 like I did . I just see stuff about ISOs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corona Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Yes but that shows how to clean install Win 10 with an ISO, instead of how to normally upgrade to Win 10 online from your current 7 or 8 OS. It was that site, but it showed how to do a dirty install. I upgraded to Win 10 (from that site!) without creating an ISO. Please point me to those same instructions. (Wish I had bookmarked it.)

Moderators hazelnut Posted August 16, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted August 16, 2015 It may be that the Media Creation Tool is no longer available. Just use the iso file and when you have started the install you will be offered a choice. Choose the one that says Upgrade and Keep Files Settings and Applications. This option will do the same as the tool did.

Tasgandy Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Regarding Dual Boot Win 10 (clean install from a USB flash drive) and Win 8.1 64 bit OS, I have just successfully completed this install BUT I did not follow the instructions that I had referred to in an earlier post of mine. Upgrade from Win 8.1 first so that activation/CD key details from the legitimate Win 8.1 can be stored on the MS data server. So after performing a clean install of Win 10 on a separate HDD with the Win 8.1 SSD HDD still in place and finding out it was NOT possible for activation to take place I needed to eat some humble pie and first commence blowing this clean install away and preforming my Win 8.1 UPGRADE to Win 10. Following this step I am pleased to say that the activation took place as it was supposed too. I am also pleased to state that the Dual Boot Win 8.1 & Win 10 are both behaving themselves. In my case I am using the Boot Manager provided by my motherboard manufacturer to select the OS I wish to boot. Perhaps my documenting mistake may save someone some installation time.

Tasgandy Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Well folks, a minor issue with my Dual boot Win 10 & Win 8.1. Every time I reboot back to Win 8.1 (from either a warm or cold boot) Win 8.1 states there is something wrong with my Drive "F" (where my Win 10 lives, this is a separate/stand-a-lone HDD) and proceeds to scan/repair the drive, no if's or buts, (no option to say no) therefore slowing my boot back to Win 8.1 greatly. Never seems to find or report fixing a problem. I've put up with this "scanning Drive F and finding nothing" now for just over a week, I have not yet been able to find out why so, "to the rescue Macrium Reflect" now I'm back to Win 8.1 for the time being. Thank you Macrium Reflect. Always With Kind RegardsTasgandy"one is never too old to listen & learn" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators mta Posted August 24, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 24, 2015 Tas, Maybe consider going Win10 as the main OS and having Win8.1 as a VM. I've had to get a new VM since Oracle and Win10 didn't play nicely anymore. Ended up with VMWare Player. Seems to do what I want. I've got Win7 and 8 as VM's, with Linux planned to follow soon.

Tasgandy Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Many thanks hazelnut & mta for the advice. Yes hazelnut page 62 certainly made interesting reading. However I was not sharing HDD, my Win 8.1 was a SSD and Win 10 installed on a SATA III. Normally I never use Hibernation on desktops but after reading those posts I'm not sure about "fast start". For the time being I'm running Win 10 as an normal textbook upgrade from Win 8.1 and that is running very well with no issues. I'll get back to testing the new 1052 Build via the insider prog. perhaps next week.

Not me, mta. Everything I know I learned from Hazelnut & Tas. Dual booting that UEFI system at that time was a bit like wrestling a grizzly bear. Even if you survive, you sort of want to avoid it next time. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ...

Tasgandy Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 mta.............you're probably right, it's just that "dual booting" brings back memories of having fun with Windows 3.x and learning to use IBM OS2Warp (showing my age now) I was even a member of an OS2 users club in back in 1992.............ouch!!
