good question...mine is desktop and cant do any backup..so i didnt do backup and straight upgrade

mine same as video~

do we really need to do a clean install after upgrade from ISO?
if yes, what's the reason we need to do clean install?

guys,just one question here.

once i downloaded the ISO file and burn it to DVD means it is a bootable dvd already?

Yes.

upgraded to windows 10 yesterday

sweet thanks to you also, now i know what to do when i upgrade my rig later.

lucky you.

a full backup (system image and data) is always handy if you run into problems. if possible don't skip this when you do things like os upgrades.

If you saw your mobo's brand logo, that means you install as a GPT partition instead of MBR partition. GPT is the latest and the better one. No need worry on that.

Its it not a driver issue as apart from the hotkey i also tried tweaking it from the power settings but it wont work

running at full brightness kills the battery in speed of light yoooo..

no you don't need to do that if everything is fine for you after upgrade.

the main reason i did that is to confirm that my computer has actually been registered with ms activation server already, and it can be activated online successfully without any key. another reason is just that i wanna create a plain activated system image, with all current windows updates applied, so that i don't need to go through it again and again when i restore the system.

clean install means the c drive where you install OS will be formated. so starting from scratch. Quick format is fine, as a full reformat i don't think is necessary

can always resort to privazer for deleting traces if paranoid

anyways got so many stuff installed in the old os, so you wouldn't want lingering unused files, to be on. so from a new clean install you got full control of what goes onto your new desktop :}

also saves time pruning irrelevant files from the previous os, apps installed (which you'll have to reinstall by the way using win10 versions of the app if available e.g. graphics driver...)

Let me get this straight. I already downloaded the ISO last night in preparation for a clean install.

So I can just straight away upgrade from the ISO(via USB of course). I am worried I will mess up the activation process.

Thanks so much.
That will be great if clean install is not compulsory as lazy to install every program all over again

Hi did anyone experience other third party apps NOT WORKING, for me is (Google related software, dropbox and origin)which require internet connection?

upgrade from windows 8.1.. Proxy installed??

thanks bro

it shows the page cannot be displayed

Err error..

Mount the iso in your current windows, then click setup.exe in the mounted iso and let the upgrade process to complete before clean install.

i use origin in w10 since insider previews. never had issues with it yet.

thats weird. my roomate w10 is running fine. but for me, apparently only edge browser is able to online.
