SORRY EXPLAIN TO ME MORE ABOUT THE PASSKEY?

IS IT THE COMPUTER PASSWORD?

I mean different license. If u are installing on a computer without genuine Windows i don't think windows 10 will get registered.

Installer? 200MB? shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked

The Microsoft's Media creation tool I used, it's just 18MB. Infact, it needs no installation whatsoever. Just run it.

The media creation tool is actually 18mb. My bad.

That is one downside of Windows 10. Infact, I could say it is the notably downside. You can't control Windows update like previous Windows versions. Unless you are using the Enterprise version of Windows 10.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

But for real, I think LIB consumes data. Although I don't visit that blog, just hearing about it. But I have heard a friend of mine complain about it before. Anywayz, for now, I don't think there are any updates in Windows 10. Obviously, in the coming weeks if not days, updates would be coming.

Simplest method of downloading and installing windows 10 is by mounting on a virtual drive and click to install. Procedure and pix on www.ityunit.com/2015/08/how-to-install-windows-10-on-windows-7.html with all required download files.

You can control it. Just go to settings and set your current connections as Metered Connection, then Windows will not do any background download and notifications update on that connection.

Windows 10 is just a wow experience to me. I upgraded about three days back now... and I can't describe the simplicity of the process and now I have a new PC and a new PA. Lol but that Cortana who happened to be my PA too know shall Lol, Lol and Lol... In fact after the upgrade I personally prayed to God to upgrade my life. I'm not too spiritual anyway but the experience was just too inspiring.

By the way I didn't experience any error but I was only prompted to uninstall my finger print application.

And then it affects every other background apps.

My point was, Windows 10, unlike previous versions doesn't have an option not to receive updates. But I guess this would help, but it would just block every other background apps one might want.

Same here. Just head over to Microsoft's website and download it from there. You can download it from their site as an upgrade file, or as a disk image (ISO) that you can use for more than one installation. You can as well burn it to a DVD or USB flash device.

Go to their site and you will be asked to download Media Creation Tool (Just 18MB). The tool will do the dowloading of the upgrade files or ISO file. After that, you can run the upgrade from the downloaded file.

Nah.... Unless you go through the option of wiping everything. Although, by default, it will just do the upgrade with all your files and settings intact.
