I like the new style. It's different and that makes us stand out. :thumbsup: I've already been using it for several weeks so I've gotten use to it.

Oooops, I used to panic when that happened. :real_anger: Now I use a password manager. :D

Zilch

That explains why I had to log back in because I never sign out on this one computer.

I've been in the fast ring since the beginning too. I haven't had a problem.

Thanks, Nev. I have decided to go with the boot menu option as that was always my preference with Acronis.

After all the confusion about Windows 10 upgrades over this past weekend things have been very quiet on the Ring Master front. Many times over the course of the development of Windows 10 we have attempted to infer certain outcomes/actions around build releases based on the Twitter presence and activity of Gabe Aul. He has been quiet for the last 18 hours as of this articles posting. It has also been over three weeks since Microsoft released the last build of Windows 10, 10130, to Windows Insiders. With the availability date of Windows 10 just over a month away time is getting tight to close out the development of Windows 10 so it can go RTM and be prepared for its arrival to Windows 7 and 8.1 users on 29 July 2015. I wrote last week that I believed Microsoft had just two more builds of Windows 10 to provide to Insiders before that happens. Over on social media many of us thought that new build would come out late last week or even early this week but it is yet to materialize. Could it have been delayed because of all the blogging and editing that occurred to try and set things right concerning who gets Windows 10 for free? Maybe. However, it now appears that an issue with Windows 10 Build 10130 being unable to scan with Windows Update and recognize a new build of Windows 10 might be the cause of the delay. Today Microsoft released KB3070677 on Windows Update to address this very issue. Windows Update might not detect new builds on Core Editions of Windows 10 Insider Preview Symptoms Consider the following scenario: You install a Core Edition of Windows 10 Insider Preview. You are running Build 10130 of this Core Edition of Windows 10 Insider Preview. There are new preview builds available for your current preview build settings. In this scenario, when you scan for new preview builds, Windows Update does not detect the available preview builds. This update will resolve the issue and allow Microsoft to push the publish button on the next Windows Insider Fast Ring build. Source : winsupersite

You're welcome, Mike. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

The only way that I know of to disable it other than disconnecting the keyboard cable, is by uninstalling the driver for it. It's only going to work until you reboot it and you'll have to do it all over gain.

We have had plenty of time to pick apart and interpret Microsoft’s recent blog post about the Windows Insider Program as well as the free upgrade offer to Windows 10 for Windows 7 and 8.1 users. Gabe Aul, our intrepid Ring Master, and his team went back to the blog drawing board today in an attempt to sort out that massive amount of confusion that has been generated over this past weekend relating to Windows 10, free upgrades, genuine upgrades and the like. In order to help convey some of this clarity we have put together this list in FAQ style and will provide simple YES or NO answers to the questions we have come up with. These scenarios are based on content Microsoft has provided in official sources such as the Upcoming changes to Windows 10 Insider Preview builds blog post which was updated twice since it was published last Friday (20 and 22 June). The other source we have used is the Windows 10 Free upgrade offer site. Note: These questions are targeted towards consumer users of Windows. If I use a retail license of Windows 7 or 8.1, which can be transferred from one machine to another, to upgrade to Windows 10 for free can I then transfer that underlying Windows 7/8.1 license to another machine and upgrade it to Windows 10 as well since Windows 7/8.1 is no longer in use on the other machine? (23 June 2015) NO Is it true that the free upgrade to Windows 10 retains the properties of the license that was on the upgraded Windows 7 or 8.1 system? In other words if I am on an OEM system from a manufacturer such as Dell, HP, ASUS, Acer, etc. then the system that was upgraded with the free Windows 10 upgrade is still licensed as an OEM system? What if I bought a retail license that was purchased online or in a store - does the system upgraded to the free Windows 10 upgrade remain licensed as a retail license? (23 June 2015) YES If I purchased my copy of Windows 7 or 8/8.1 as a retail license from a store (brick and mortar or online/digital) and I upgrade to the free Windows 10 can I transfer that to a new computer under the retail licensing? (23 June 2015) YES If I built my own computer and purchased an OEM licenses for that hardware from a store (either brick and mortar or online) then does that OEM license transfer to the Windows 10 upgrade after 29 July? (23 June 2015) YES Can I transfer that OEM based Windows 10 upgrade to another computer? (23 June 2015) NO Does the Windows 10 free upgrade offer only last 12 months from 29 July 2015 to 29 July 2016? (22 June 2015) YES If I am still running Windows 95, Millenium (Me), XP or Vista on my computer can I get a free upgrade to Windows 10? (22 June 2015) NO I have a system running Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 – am I eligible for the free Windows 10 upgrade? (22 June 2015) YES I have a system running Windows 8 with the Windows 8.1 Update installed – can I get a free upgrade to Windows 10? (22 June 2015) YES I am a Windows 10 Insider can I upgrade to Windows 10 RTM for free on 29 July from the preview builds and stop participating in the Windows Insider Program? (22 June 2015) NO Will that copy of Windows 10 RTM that upgraded my preview build be a genuine copy of Windows 10? (22 June 2015) NO Is it true that if I want to continue as a Windows Insider I can install a current build of Windows 10 preview, such as 10130, and use my Microsoft Account with it and then get upgraded to Windows 10 RTM on 29 July? (22 June 2015) YES Will I continue to get new builds of Windows 10 after 29 July if I choose to remain in the Insider program? (22 June 2015) YES Will those builds ever expire? (22 June 2015) YES If I upgrade to the final version of Windows 10 anytime during the first year from a system with a genuine version of Windows 7 (with Service Pack 1) or Windows 8 (with Windows 8.1 Update) installed can I reinstall Windows 10? (22 June 2015) YES Can I do a clean install of Windows 10 in the previous situation as well? (22 June 2015) YES If I am currently running a non-genuine version of Windows 7 (with Service Pack 1) or Windows 8 (with Windows 8.1 update) can I upgrade to Windows 10? (22 June 2015) NO If I have a computer that I just built and I do not own any version of Windows for it can I join the Windows Insider Program and install Windows 10 RTM on it before or after 29 July 2015? (22 June 2015) YES Will that version of Windows then be considered genuine? (22 June 2015) NO Can I transfer my Windows 10 installation to another computer after getting the free upgrade? (22 June 2015) NO If I opt out of the Windows Insider program before 29 July 2016 can I still use the free Windows upgrade if my device had a genuine copy of Windows 7 (with Service Pack 1) or Windows 8 (with Windows 8.1 Update) before I used it for the Insider program? (22 June 2015) YES If I opt out of the Windows Insider program after 30 July 2016 do I need to buy a new Windows 10 license if my device had a genuine copy of Windows 7 (with Service Pack 1) or Windows 8 (with Windows 8.1 Update) before I used it for the Insider program? (22 June 2015) YES Do I need to use a Microsoft Account to upgrade my Windows 7 (with Service Pack 1) or Windows 8 (with windows 8.1 Update) system to Windows 10? (22 June 2015) NO My name is Blackbeard, some call me Salty Sam. Can I get a free upgrade to Windows 10? (22 June 2015) NO Can Microsoft ever make its messaging completely clear? (22 June 2015) NO Have any ideas of your own to add to this list? Comment below with it and we might add it to the article with appropriate credit. Source : winsupersite

Last week Microsoft updated everyone on the future of the Windows Insider Program but I think there was so much commotion about free Windows 10 that it got lost in the mix. So leaving the entire free or not free discussion set aside lets focus on the Insider program changes that Microsoft is planning. As you know, nearly four million people have been involved in the testing of Windows 10 since last year as part of the Windows Insider program. That feedback and telemetry has helped shape the features and functionality of Windows 10. Now Windows 10 Mobile will still be in development after Windows 10 is released for desktops, PC's and other devices such as tablets so the Windows Insider Program will continue for that. In fact, mobile should begin to get a lot more attention once Windows 10 hits RTM on the other devices. What happens on the desktop side after 29 July and the release of Windows 10? Well Microsoft intends to continue the Insider Program and release updated builds of the desktop operating system so they can get feedback on new features and updates before they get pushed to the broader audience of Windows 10 users. It is just like the current flighting of builds to Fast and Slow Ring Insiders. Test builds will hit post RTM Insiders Windows 10 installs and then once feedback is collected and implemented it gets pushed to all Windows 10 users. That is why they are requiring Insiders to use Windows 10 with the Microsoft Account they used to register for the program to validate their system as being eligible for the test builds. It is an easy way to identify participants and set their systems up for receiving the updates. Source : winsupersite
