You have a gace period with full functionality before it locks down. There will be a timer displayed on the desktop.

For domain accounts, the recovery key is stored in Active Directory, but in the common consumer case, using a Microsoft account, it is instead stored in OneDrive. This recovery key can be used after, say, a motherboard replacement or when trying to recover data from a different Windows installation.

Oh, btw if you are mad about that Microsoft online password thing but use Chrome: Google knows all your passwords because by default Chrome just uses your account password for sync. You have to set a separate one so google can't just read it.

spanko posted:Am I not finding the option or is there no way to setup automatic system image backups to an external (USB) drive in Windows 10? I do a manual backups for myself but this is for a paranoid person who is bad at computers. If this isn't possible in Windows 10 can anyone recommend a free or cheap, easy to use backup to external drive solution? It needs to be a full system image backup and automatic/scheduled. Try Macrium Reflect Free.

Looks like the installer got quite confused. What you do is delete every single one of these things in the installer and then just click next.

Plus Windows 10 can get stuck on the driver install part (32% main, 6% features and drivers) that cost you hours because you have to hit reset upon which Windows will roll back the changes. And that turns into a cycle until you remove and turn off everything.

Node posted:Why is Windows 10 locking me out of my other hard drives? I can't find any pattern. Some folders require Administrator access and I have to click Ok every. single. time. to access them. Then there are files that I am outright not allowed to use, with an error message saying I don't have the permissions to access the file. These drives had absolutely no permissions set, whatever that means, nor did I restrict anything behind Administrator. Take ownership and replace all permissions.

If you had a Win8 install upgraded to Win10 but rolled back the install, does a direct install of Win10 on the same computer work?

Supradog posted:I'm wondering if anyone know of a setting to get windows to restart after a update on boot up, not shut down? I turn off my pc every night and I've noticed that if there is any patches waiting to be installed I need to manually turn it on twice in the morning. It will start up, patch and then shut down, not just restart. Under Windows Update, advanced options there should be a setting that does auto-login, for updates try that.
