If i change my mobo, cpu, ram, can i reuse my win10 key?

Have someone tried Windows 10 Anniversary version? is it good if compare with Windows 10?

assuming with 'windows 10' you meant the original release, to me yeah anniversary is relatively better. (it came with a number of improvements; performance wise it's also better)

however anniversary is now a previous version. the latest one is w10 creators update. it's equally solid.

Q:

Is it possible to add more boxes for Edge's "Top Site", increasing from 8 to more?

i don't think you can do that for now.

I once saw ' Project Neon ' with a new theme of windows... when do you guys think will that be released?

if the rumors are true, it will come with the rs3 release targetted in september this year.

You can suggest Microsoft add the option for more boxes via the Feedback Hub app.

dgboy & horns Thanks & after clean install whole OS became smoother.

nice.

seriously, w10 without telemetry features is a better os. for much better user experience, have at least 8gb ram, and use a small ssd for dedicated os disk. (like 120gb range) and do os level optimizations.

for os level optimizations, the least you can do are:
1. turn all apps running in background off (and check all other settings in 'all settings' and control panel);
2. disable hibernation (powercfg -h off);
3. use wise registry cleaner (system tuneup tab; apply all optimizations), anti beacon, and blackviper service list (i never run services that i don't need).
4. if you have 16gb of ram or more, you can even turn pagefile off (or just set a custom pagefile with min value of 512mb and max value of 1gb).
5. with w10 pro, there are more customization with gpedit.msc. i also turn on bitlocker after gpedit.msc optimizations. (in case i have storage failure, i can just send the drive for rma; no need to wipe this wipe that)
6. you can also add custom rule sets in windows firewall and adjust windows defender (especially auto sample submission) accordingly.

also, selection of common tools is important to much faster restores. e.g. if you use firefox/thunderbird, you can run firefox.exe -P to create custom user profiles to be stored at different locations than os disk (usually i put them in my data drive). use the same -P option you can point the app to load these profiles after a clean install, hence making resume from previous state very easy.

additionally, with the fresh-installed w10 fully patched, create system images for easy recovery. (it takes me many hours to complete a fresh system setup and optimizations, but with system images the recovery is like under 20 minutes, and all are done properly)

done above, can reused, but u need latest win 10 build.

horns I stop using Spybot Anti-Beacon & switched to O&O ShutUp10 due to the leftovers on anti beacon.

Previously, my HWMonitor current value always stuck at the highest max clocks, but now working properly & other unknown small typical issues.

er what did they leave in our pc? i use the standalone version, not installer or portable.

i also use shutup10 sometimes.

I mean %appdata% & services too.

creator update giving me blank screen whem restart..
Anyone experiemce this?

maybe you are using portable. i don't have such a appdata and service in my systems.

there is actually a standalone executable version. (go to the forum to get it)

no everything is fine here. maybe you should look it up on internet and see if there are similar cases.

seems this blank screen issue is a known thing...

yeah figured. in-place upgrade is really not a good idea, due to the vast diversity in how we set a system up, what hardware/software to go in, etc.

there are systems that work fine. most are not so great in terms of upgrade experience.

horns Can you check your windows update?

There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. IF you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x80248014)

I clicked retry still the same & no error with sfc /scannow too.
