Installing Windows 10 This Weekend (!)

I got this email from a neighbor:

"I'll be giving you a call to clean up and get Windows 10 installed. "

How do I respond to that?

He probably wants to remove unnecessary software, registry entries and
temporary files before performing the upgrade. It's not a bad idea.

Tell your pushy friend that you only do fresh (clean) installs.

OK. What does she need for me to do that?

He can do an upgrade and hope it gets activated, then do a clean
install.

Forgive my ignorance, but what does she need to have to do an upgrade?
Is an upgrade still possible? And how would she do a clean install? IOW,
what file would she need?

Thanks.

Go ahead, Alek-spread my butt cheeks

it in 6 days.

Windows install DVD
License Key

Install media and license keys for all software to be reinstalled.
New versions for all those incompatible...check BEFORE you start.

Macrium Reflect software to image the drive BEFORE you start.
External hard drive to hold the backup.

Case of Kleenex for all the tears you're gonna cry.

$$$$ to pay for all that.

Time to do it.

Lots more time to research/fix compatibility issues.

New phone number for when you get tired of all the calls for help.
When you fix a neighbor's computer, you become RESPONSIBLE for anything
that doesn't work, now and in the future.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

This appears to be your first win10 install.
There are many potential issues.
IT WILL BE A DISASTER!!!!!!

Get a few under your belt before you even think about helping someone else.
Last count, I have win10 on 18 machines to get the free upgrade.
I'm not using ANY of them.
Too unstable. I fire one up when I'm bored, let it update, fret over
all the
new issues, put it back in the closet...two days gone.

Run away. Run fast. Don't look back. You cannot win.

Honestly, the best cleanups I've done have always been done in the
following manner and in that order:

- Remove all software the person doesn't need first
- Unhide all files and folders (Control Panel - Appearance - File
Explorer Options - Show hidden files and folders
- Navigate to C:\Users\[Her user name]\AppData\ and remove the folders
of programs that have been installed from the Local, LocalLow and
Roaming folders
- Download CCleaner, clean out everything including the registry entries
- Go back to File Explorer, right-click on the hard disk and click Disk
Cleanup, then Clean Up System Files... let it do its thing
- Once done, in the same properties, go to Tools and Scan the Disk
first. If it finds no errors, Optimize and Defragment the Hard Disk(s)
- Finally, when all of that is done, complete the process by going into
the Command Prompt in Administrative Mode (right-click command prompt,
choose administrator) and then type is sfc /scannow to make sure that
all of the files are intact.

Once that is done, upgrade. That whole process will make sure that
everything is spotless and minimize the chances of problems.

Ah, I thought you already had the Windows 10 installation media. If you
don't, the Windows 10 ISO should still be available somewhere but I
think that Microsoft now charges for the upgrade.

I upgraded to Win 10 on 4 machines when the upgrade was free. Is it
true that she can no longer use the free upgrade?

She buys them. If she refused to upgrade sooner, it's her own fault.

It stopped being free at the end of July. The upgrade was available
(forced on) to people between Windows 10's release date at the end of
July 2015 to the end of July 2016. After that, it had to be paid for.

If she's HOT and good looking, tell her to just let you know when.

Otherwise just say "good luck".

Sounds to me like she's going to remind you to get your act together
regarding personal hygiene and/or home cleanliness and finally perform
that windows 10 upgrade you've been moaning about not having a large
enough "Round Tuit" handy to complete the task. Perhaps she's found you a
nice large "Tuit"?

Depends entirely on what your relationship is with that neighbor, what
your willingness to help is, and how confident you are with your
skills. If you don't want to help, tell him that your skills aren't
great enough to help (regardless of how great they actually are).
