just uninstall any power management software. it's likely that the tool is interfering with your power profiles.

what kind of restrictions? what kind of file error? no issues using itunes here.

if that's the case, i am not sure what to look for. i personally have not experienced random power plan changes in my computers in w10. (maybe because i very seldom use a laptop while unplugged)

a better way to fix this is to visit the support page of your computer manufacturer website, download and use the w10 compatible gpu drivers for your laptop model released by them. those are the drivers that they have confirmed for you that work well for your computer.

for gpu, you don't use device manager to update drivers. use their installers instead.

have you tried the no-sound trick? if you pasted your sentence above at google, that's the one that came out, e.g. http://www.tenforums.com/installation-setu...g-software.html

try change the windows sound theme to no sound. maybe you need to reboot the computer also.

have you tried this one? http://www.tenforums.com/general-discussio...html#post306429

that's the working solution that worked for many.

w10 education should have more user features and controls, so check if you need those. if not, just grab w8.1 pro. according to dreamspark eula, you get to keep it after graduation.

Yes, according to their eula you can keep it for non-commercial use.

i don't quite get what you mean. do you mean to say that you wanna access its administration page located at 192.168.0.1? if that's the case, you can use a lan cable connecting to it from your computer.

.. ok i assume you're telling me that in w7 you don't need to configure anything to access the modem. how exactly did you do that in w7? sorry with so little information i don't even know if your computer is connected to the modem via wifi in the first place hehe

well, if you think using a lan cable is considered as 'very not user friendly', so be it. just revert to w7 and be happy

my question is still: is your computer connected to your wifi modem?

edit: the main reason i suggested using a lan cable was because when there is something wrong between a wifi modem and a computer via wifi connection, a direct connection, like lan connection, is the most straightforward way to establish the link between the two, so that you can trouble shoot further. usually no configuration is required in this case.

that's why my question is still: have you set up w10 wifi connection with the right ssid and put in password (if any) to establish the wifi connection with the modem? without this one, you will not be able to access 192.168.0.1 with the computer.

oh. in that case, it might be due to several reasons. are you using the computer with that wifi modem? what's the internal ip address of your computer? it should be 192.168.0.something.

i mean your computer's ip address. to check that you can run administrative command prompt and type ipconfig. check the ipv4 address of your wifi adapter.

edit: yeah i agree with shakku, this is very likely networking-related.

it's really up to the scope of your development work. if you develop something without any dependencies on version-specific features, and you know you will never use those features, w10 home is fine.

edit: if the rumors are true, we will be seeing th2 release on 10 nov. (all reported as build 10586) file push of this build to insiders should be at anytime now.

what Cynox said. i have tested the same also.

since many people are still very confused about this digital entitlement, ms has done something for them. after the upcoming w10 nov update, we can also use w7/8.x keys to activate w10.

there are several ways to do this, so it's up to the user to choose the time-consuming way or the quicker way.

afaik we have iis express bundled in vs 2015 community. it should be able to install on w10 home, as i don't see why not.

no issues here. i have usb sticks that i have formatted and renamed using older os (w7; 8.x). some also use bitlocker. nothing weird happens.

what if you back up the contents, then reformat and rename it with w10?

Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 10586 (very likely the RTM build)

yeah. i think with a bit of touch-ups this build is good to go.

nothing much changed since the last rtm build in terms of visuals. there are few new icons (usb at notification area; control panel etc.), and also there is an usb notification thing in settings > devices.

in general it will work well, as long as there are compatible drivers for key parts in your laptop.

for today's usage, imo it's better to bump up the ram to at least 8gb.

for light usage, 4gb might be sufficient. for heavy usage, 16gb or above is much better.

recent os, or rather, software, uses ram to enhance performance. for gaming in particular, it's better to have at least 16gb. 32gb might be an overkill, but i think in near future this will be recommended.

when i play bf4 (w10 build 10586; 980 sli; uhd monitor; custom game settings), my ram usage for that game is around 13 to 15gb.

seriously weird stuff haha

Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3105211)

good for you

edit: just installed KB3105211. it's not the same as insider preview esds that i linked previously, for the build string is now 10586.3.

edit.2: i just realized that the machine i have done the update is running build 10586, hence the update took only a few minutes because of the much smaller KB3105211 (about 60+ MB in total, which includes another 11MB language pack patch). for build 10240 (July release), you will go through the similar upgrade path when you accepted the free w10 upgrade offer. it's about 6 to 7 GB+ in total, depending on your system i believe. this one will take some time to process.
