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.

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
    • Hello, Hope all is well. I am in UK.  
    • I'm not happy with myself for it, but I've gone and got hold of it. Just another 45 minutes and I'll be Bond, James Bond. In my defence, IO's Hitman series is awesome, and I'm a sucker for 007. So while it might seem a bit simplified compared to Hitman, I'm sure I'll be right at home.
    • Or just check the script yourself ^^. I hate having a Microsoft account tied to my windows install.
