[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="41" id="3613073"] Quoting alaknebs, reply 39 unless you are talking about losing the win7 key eligibility for that machine? though surely if you roll back, logically you should be losing the win10 key. (regardless of whether it actually happens) in both cases, you have a win7 and a win10 ins

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="37" id="3613032"] Quoting alaknebs, reply 35 why? if you clean install win10 directly with your existing win7 key... that's basically the same thing as upgrading (which uses the same key) + rolling back and then clean install win10, isn't it? Yes, but yo

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="33" id="3612965"] Quoting alaknebs, reply 26 why can't you just do a clean install for the dual boot directly? Well, you can, if you have a spare Windows 7 or 8 key lying around. Or if you have bought Windows10. Otherwise, you must first upgrade said PC,(this regi

wonder why... i did have problems (before installing anything) to get video to display anything at all until that fixed itself eventually somehow. (after a few reboots... only empty drives and win10 dvd connected) .. guess i'll fiddle with that when i have to wipe everything and clean install... hopefully not for years!

i just realised something yesterday... emet 5.2 isn't fully compatible with win10 XD (look.. i didn't read the thing properly before installing it) noticed it when i was wondering why ie doesn't open (i was checking some ie settings... since things like steam likes using ie settings for some reason... i think.)... ie in win10 crashes apparently if eaf is enabled. maybe it's also why i can't uninstall asus ai suite (can't be bothered to boot into safe mo

XD new machine. the old machine did the same thing.. or rather i did the same thing with the old machine. hell, the dvd drive in the old machine bites discs (it opens and then shuts immediately).. moving it to the tail end doesn't work, because it's already at the tail end (arbitarily named t:\) and the drive that i extract/move stuff to is the one right above that. i suppose i could move that drive above a different drive (away from the cd/dvd) so i won&

i don't mean disable it. i mean hide it or move it well away from the other drives when you use programs like 7zip and display the folder tree. when moving/extracting files, i keep misclicking the wrong drive and hitting the dvd drive instead of another hdd and causing the dvd drive tray to ram my case door. been doing it for years XD

it's not like you don't have to carry cards and what not with your wallet. unless your phone does it all. i think wom means they want to do away with cash. which last i read is the plan, what with the push to contactless (low or no transaction fee to merchants or something... compared to bog standard chip and pin/swipe card transactions), getting rid of certain denominations of coins (in certain places)
