Downloading my windows 10 ISO.. Really slow with the Internet at home though.. Wished Microsoft had offered it to download torrent style, wouldn't it be better? Direct downloads are a hassle especially with unstable connection..

Anyway, just wanted to ask, I'm using Microsoft Office Home & Student 2013 on my Win 8.1 PC.. Does it still work after upgrading to Win 10?

Most likely will work, normal programs usually has least compatibility problem than games.

What if I'm doing a clean install?

Can I re-install my Office 2013 on Win 10 using the same key?

Finally upgraded to Win 10... So far so good... Just want to ask a few things:

1. What is the difference between resetting Win 10 & Clean Install? I'm thinking of doing a clean install but I found the reset function too.. Are both of them similar?

2. If I do a clean install / reset, my previous Win data will be erased, correct? Means I won't be able to roll back to the previous version anymore? So if I want to go back to previous installation, I need to get a new Win license key? Or can I still use my old Win 8 key?

Hi forumers.. I have this weird problem. Anyone mind helping?

All my pendrives and external hard disk, which i named, appears to become unnamed when i plugged it in into my win10 device.. but if i plughed in to my other pc which is not win10, its ok..

Example:
I named my pendrive as Games 8GB, and I can view the name as it is in my PC. But when i plugged it into my win10, the name become Removable Drive. Even if i renamed it in win10, it doesn't work. I ran a scan but it was clear of virus or malware.

Anyone have similar problem?

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?
Done what you suggested, but still having same problem.

It's not a big issue, but it irks me that my drives are all now named as "removeable drive" in my windows 10 device.

Couldn't find any helpful advice online though... Maybe only me having this problem... blink.gif

Hi all... Want to ask something here...

I am using Win 10 on my Surface Pro 3 for a few months now, so far no big issue / problem and am quite satisfied... Just one problem though, some of my software, the windows are very small and I don't know how to increase the size... For eg my Panda Antivirus and MPC player... I've attached an image for reference...

It's not an issue, but when it is small, it is troublesome to click on the right thing though...

I've tried to tweak the display settings but no success so far... Anyone here knows how to solve this?

Thanks!
