peterr Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Hello I just read the article in this forum whereby one skips any requests for keys and is still activated upon doing a clean install. I know we lose the dvd player but before I do a clean install with my disc, I want to be sure of what I am doing. I upgraded from 8.1 to 10 and chose to bring my apps with me; apparently an error. So, just insert the media disc and skip the request for keys and still become activated to perform this clean install? Thank you Quote
FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted August 30, 2015 FPCH Admin Posted August 30, 2015 To be on the safe side, use the upgraded version of Windows 10 on your computer for a day or two. This gives MS time to recognize your hardware. The clean install is based on your hardware. If you have chosen to install or upgrade using a Microsoft account to sign in, then no waiting is necessary. 1 Quote ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
peterr Posted August 30, 2015 Author Posted August 30, 2015 I uploaded a couple weeks ago. After reading and asking, I have decided that as long as the system is perky and stable, I will defer the clean install. I have media, understand the "skip" key process and thank you for your help. I do use my MS password all the time. This is my first post here and it is a neat forum. Peter 1 Quote
