A very old thread!

Have you NOT been reading? The upgrade is done via the normal Windows Update process, that is, IF your PC qualifies for the upgrade. Many don't for one reason or another. I saw one PC that could...

If you're actually still using Windows 8.....it's high time to get off of it and UPgrade to at least 8.1.

Windows Defender is at the very bottom of the heap, of AV programs. It's like using a...

Are you testing Windows 10? And if so, on what type of device?

The last version of Windows 10 that I've downloaded and am currently testing is build 10166, and I'm pretty sure that will not be...

Bump!

I have to setup new PC's every week (or so) and I have a list of things I will either install or run during the Install process.
That list includes,
Show all files, including hidden...

Well, that was four weeks ago, and now the Next Big Thing is 10122, available in both x86 and x64 from my favorite FTP site. ( getintopc.com )
All files there are clean, clear of any malware or...

I was seeing the same Hacker's screen, on Firefox, the only browser I use. I.E. and Project Spartan, now called Edge, both SUCK big time.

It looks like someone, somewhere have been working to...

I'm (at) Home!
And yes, 10122 works.
I'm trying to live with it, al'natural. That is, just the way it came from MS, without the Classic Shell, which I MUST use for Windows 8.1.
The return of a...

I just read about that, in today's Windows Secrets Newsletter.
In the article they said that most of the world never has or never will use WMC, so why devote anymore time, labor, or space to it? ...

Then you have to download "Grant Admin Full Control" and install it yourself.

After that, you can Right Click on any file or folder and 'Grant Admin full Control' and make yourself the owner of...

It's amazing, that the guys at MS development realized ages ago, that there are different users with totally different likes and dislikes as to what they want their computer to look like.

I'm so...

Thanks for the tip about Right Clicking on the Start Button (window button).

I always go right to MSCONFIG, to change things in Boot.ini, for a much faster boot up.

That little tip makes...

Weatherbug is spyware, from MiniBug a well known (at least to some) spyware company.

Any decent Anti-Spyware program like Spybot S&D will find it and remove it.
But you'll never know that, if you...

What's all this flap about a weather app? I watch the Weather on my TV. Eh?
That's all just more Bells & Whistles, eyewash if you wish, what about the CORE, the nuts & bolts of the OS that make it...

We constantly hear (read) "my computer is slowing down" or some such.
Well, NO it's not! The CPU clock is still running at the same speed as when the PC was new. The hard drive is still spinning...

Finally! I found 10051/64 on my favorite download site. It is clean of any crapware, just the ISO, like it would come from MS.

Everything I've gotten there so far is totally clean....

Going to that site, and clicking on the 64 bit download thingy, only got me an error message. WTF?

Got anything that actually works?

I did notice that MS seems to be fixated on that...

Just for fun, I clicked on that link to the 64 bit version of 10051, and my security programs lit up my screen like Broadway. It was laced with spyware and viruses.
I requested of the powers that...

That 'Download' is exactly like some others I found last night. It's the 64 bit version ONLY,
which I can't use, and would never use for myself anyway. Why?
Well, because the 64 bit version is...

Thank you!
Happy Easter to you and all.

Ok, I'll just wait for 10054.

Cheers Mate!
TM :cool:

If MS would just re-activate 'Windows Mail' they would have the best email program ever.
I refer to it as Outlook Express on steroids. lol

Still don't have 10051, but I'm hoping on downloading...

Why didn't I just ask???
I do have Rufus on my PC, but it wasn't where I usually keep that kind of program.
It's probably what I used before. But now I have TWO programs that will burn an ISO of...

I won't post the link to my favorite download site, here on the forum, because it is not an official Microshaft site.

I wanted the 10049 ver. on a Flash Drive, for quicker installs to my laptop...

To date, I've probably installed Microsoft OS's from Windows 7 on up, over a hundred times, and every time, during the initial setup, I first install "The Classic Shell", so I can boot up directly to...

Dang! I'm quoting myself. I've totally lost it!
But, I just downloaded the ISO for 10049, burned it to a DVD and I'm ready to install it on one of my test Laptops. That is, right after the Ghost...
