You do realise that people are reporting your posts as malicious including myself? Can you not sort it out??

 

It is Malwarebytes that is flagging your ithome.com links.

Yup, I notice that some guys from here and MDL were reporting same, sorry there's nothing I could do about it, But Neowin News blogs had also reported about these infos from ithome(win10china) and posting same links, wonder if people using those links also got the same malware report?  :huh:

I did a clean install from Windows 8.1 on my Surface Pro 3 to Windows 10 TP, and the experience was pleasant. If Windows 7 users have this option to install from Windows 7 to Windows 10 directly, I think it will make a lot of users happy and less frustrated along the way.

I don't want to upgrade - I want to do a fresh install from Win7 to Win 10.  I can't find documentation anywhere that says I can do that but there has to be that option. I have a OEM Win7 Pro 64bit disk....so I should be able to get a WIn10 OEM Pro 64bit version to install. What if you have HDD failures or the other many needs to reinstall the OS. Are they going to expect everyone to use their old OS first then run the upgrade? Just doesn't make sense if that is the case.

I think as Windows 10 gets closer to RTM in the summer we will find out the different upgrade paths that's going to be available.

From what I heard, it would be like the win7->win8 upgrade, the upgrade tool would ask for the COA key, then give you a win10 key, afterwards you download the ESD same as the win7 language and architecture, and upgrade tool will let you choose to in-place upgrade or burn to ISO/USBFD. The win10 key is like a COEM key and is bundled to the machine activated.

 

For win8/8.1, there is no COA, the upgrade tool would check the key embedded in the BIOS.

    • Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.

    • I've never even heard of this browser before seeing this article. How does it differ from other browsers?
    • Fixing things? Have you ever tried linux? Everything works out of the box nowadays in most common hardware. This includes Wifi and Bluetooth. If anything, if they return back to windows is because they haven't found an equivalent program which often used on windows.
