@ Cerharden. That was needed pre 1511 (current) Win 10. Now you can use any 7/8 serial. If you have a newer 7/8 with no serial (coa) sticker it will have a modern bios with serial embedded and will work. As a footnote no version of 7 Ultimate seems to want to play ball, only ones with serials on side which then downgrade you to Pro.
@Kevin. Agreed on all |

Thanks to all. As most 5 year olds are more computer savvy that I am I think I better stick with what I got.
If it 'ain't broke etc. |

That's definitely my attitude to upgrades if you're happy with what you have.

An update to my post in another (Windows XP) thread. I finally made the move to Win10 after my old PC started being a very naughty boy and so I bought a new Zoostorm PC as a replacement. I transferred all my data from the 2 HDDs using an IDE/USB caddy - the only problem I had was the WD 320 disk I had as my 'data' drive I had originally set up up as a secondary drive and set the jumpers accordingly and, being old and infirm, I had forgotten this so spent several annoying hours trying to work out why this disk couldn't be seen when my other disk (originally set up as a primary drive) worked first time. As soon as I downloaded the spec sheet I realised my mistake and quickly had all my data and pics on the new machine. All my passwords are kept in the cloud on LastPAss so no problems there - the last hurdle was reloading MSOffice 2003 (I know, it's old but it works and I don't need anything else) from CD. The Product key had been written on the CD (which had been loaded 3 times previously due to disk crashes/new machine being bought) but the writing was somewhat faded and I couldn't get the key accepted. A quick search on the InterWeb thingy turned up 2 Product Key finders that scan the registry, either on current system or old on a caddied system drive and within seconds the key was found and office was loaded. Other than a few bits of software that I rarely use anyway but may load later, everything was loaded in double quick time and I find WIN10 far better and more intuitive that either WIN7 or WIN8. All in all - a happy experience. Oh, and the Zoostorm is like greased lightning compared to my old machine.

For sidefills, can we have two enormous things of a type that might be venerated as Gods by the inhabitants of Easter Island, capable of reaching volumes that would make Beelzebub soil his pants.

Whilst working at IBM recently, all developers in my section were given laptops, sporting Red Hat Linux as main OS, & Windows running in a VM.
IMHO,for some techies, the perfect combination. I'm running Debian & '7 x64 VM, priceless. |
