How did you get it installed, was it through a normal update or a force on, if so how did you force it?

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
I am getting close to giving up on this pos, done a upgrade on both machines and both machines will not activate, done a fresh install on both machines and they will not activate.

Spent nearly 2 hours on the phone to Microsoft who confirm that my keys will activate windows 10 via upgrade or clean install, but nothing will work.

I am now trying a fresh install of Windows 8.1 on one pc and Windows 8 on another and see if that works, if that doesn't work then Microsoft can go swivel and I will go to Linux instead, to bad you cannot play the likes of Battlefield or COD or most games that I play on Linux.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
@Dave42 you say preview build will never expire?
It's like a trail version of Windows 10.
You should remember I did a clean install not a upgrade.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
Well update for me is 1 machine has Windows 8 on it and it's activated using my legit key, and the other machine has 8.1 on it activated so now installing updates and will go from there.

Issue is that the Windows 10 icon is no longer showing, so need to sort that out later.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
I listened to you on the other thread and we are both septic (lol) I would go for it right now, but no one is saying what we will lose Osem.
