So my dumb ass decides that it would be good idea to upgrade from Win 7 Pro, to Windows 10.  What a fuckin mistake that was.  The first thing I do is check my existing product key, by running the .vbs script, to make sure I have it correct.  Well that's all good.  Then I do a clean install, meh the interface looks like it has the ghey, but I figure there will be a work around for that.  What's this now, no support for my wireless card?  What the fuckity fuck, it's a Netgear N600, not some fucking off brand shit with a oddball chipset.  Fine, I'll use my ASUS adapter, okay it sees that, good to go.  Huh, WTF, my display resolution is all jacked up, no problem, except they didn't put nvidia fuckin drivers in the OS, you stupid morons.  Okay download the drivers, good to go right?  Well sort of.



Okay let's start to configure it the way I want it, oh wait, you must fuckin register your product first.  Fine let's do that.  Yeah, not so quick there turbo, your product key has been blocked.  What the ever livin fuck, this ain't no fuckin bootleg copy.  I've got the fucking DVD case right in front of me, it's the fuckin same product key that was fine on the SAME machine 45 minutes ago.




So in short, Bill Gates, I hope your seaplane crashes on the fucking Hood Canal, and AIDS infected Dungeness crabs skull fuck your lifeless pasty corpse.

So, what did the directions say to do?










"The first thing I do is check my existing product key, by running the .vbs script, to make sure I have it correct. Well that's all good. Then I do a clean install," sounds like you went OFP.







The way windows has been going, I would have assumed it would be more likely the upgrade path was more along the lines of "click here to upgrade".


 









I've noticed a trend of people blaming windows because of something they did, that they should not have. Is that the case here?

Windows won't activate for me either. I did the "Click here to upgrade" method.

After reading thru all the threads here, and digging around for myself, you can do a clean install by downloading the OS as an ISO or bootable USB image (I did the later).  Install wasn't that bad, other than a few driver issues.  What is fuckin hilarious is it had drivers for my SoundBlaster card, but not for my NIC.  I mean really, the one thing you would think they would have insured was network connectivty, but fuck no, assholes, good thing I had another card.

The GUI looks like it was designed by some cissexual fag from Capitol Hill, as for it being "fast" meh, I ain't seeing it.  And my box ain't no scruffy piece of trash either.  Windows 7 looked professional, not like it has the AIDS.  After digging around in it for a few hours, the only thing that caught my eye was they included an email client.  Well la-tee-fuckin-da, and it looks like a shitty one at that.

I've got an XP key that's legit but got blocked. Reinstalling the OS once a month for 4 years of college raises some red flags.

Call the Microsoft support number and they should give you an activation code that will work (and be reusable). While you're talking to them, remind them I want my fucking media center back.

Nice


I tried the Win 10 pre-release.  Lot's of bugs (expected), but they were minor.  I liked it.

As someone who loved Win 7 Pro, is meh on 8.1 (8.0 was disappointing); I'm looking forward to Win 10.  Will do it this weekend.
