... "Confronting the Achilles Heel of the Free Windows 10 Upgrade" https://www.thurrott.com/windows/win...ows-10-upgrade I knew that it was too good to be true. Lynn Thanks. An interesting article by Paul Thurrott. "Many previously activated PCs will not successfully activate Windows 10 when the OS is later reinstalled. This has happened to me at least twice, and I’ve heard from multiple readers who have been bitten by this problem as well. And once Windows 10 is no longer free for upgraders, it’s going to be even worse." Regards wasbit -- |

Lynn Thanks. An interesting article by Paul Thurrott. Eh, NOT so much.. Many readers of this site are probably technical enough to recover from these kinds of problems. If you CAN'T, then you're too ****ing stupid to be using a computer, OR be on the Net (good way to rid it of many trolls),, |

If you CAN'T, then you're too ****ing stupid to be using a computer, OR be on the Net (good way to rid it of many trolls),, There are some complex systems out there that the Win10 upgrade craps out on, and requires a lot of rejigging just to get it to work. For example, a lot of people with SSD's have found that there isn't enough space on their C drives for the own personal data, so they move their data onto a secondary HDD. This is guaranteed to make Win 10 upgrade puke. Yousuf Khan |
