    The one big assumption there is that the machine actually makes it through the upgrade! Mine didn't. The upgrade bricked and I could not get it to restore back to Win7. I had no choice but to wipe the machine and install from DVD.

    Did Win 10 activate after your clean install?

      The last updates for Win10 made it instable so booting is problematic. Maybe the cause is some UEFI Bios new problem on Win10.:confused::confused::confused: Tip: really not NOW - maybe next month

        My machine boots UEFI mode, and I had no issues after any of the updates. Go figure! :)

          Yes, but only because I used the image off of MSDN.

            I am the original poster. I have windows 7. When I said 'go away' to windows 10, I meant the continual annoying interfering push when updating 7 to switch to 10! My Linux box is standing by for 2020...

              Dude, Windows 7 is over a decade old now. Let go already! There is no point in holding onto antediluvian technology.

                Wow! A new word for me. I had to look it up, since I only know little words. :)

                  'antediluvian' as in 'before the flood' is a good adjective! I installed windows 10 and uninstalled it after about one day. It has been described as a privacy nightmare but what also annoyed me was no pop3 mail client, only imap (perhaps there is now) [^] [^]

                      I use POP3 on Windows 10 so I know that was patently false. Talk about 'antediluvian', pretty sure POP3 is older than me. :laugh:

                        Unfortunately, I can't say the same. I even pre-date POP1! :sigh:

                        Post Office Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[^]:

                        POP1 was specified in RFC 918 (1984), POP2 by RFC 937 (1985). POP3 originated with RFC 1081 (1988).
