Nice to hear that. Thanks.




One option is to upgrade to Win10 and choose "not to keep settings" which will remove all custom software installed. Anyway Comodo is yet to released a version of CIS that supports Win10 so we are out of luck.

I'm gonna upgrade to Win10 and install ESET Smart Security 9 Beta or Bitdefender Internet Security 2015 till Comodo releases an update. :p

Hey sloth thanks for reply. Does that option mean that everything will be removed and a clean image of Windows 10 will be installed in place?

Nirsoft Productkey shows a BIOS OEM Key and a Windows 10 Key, the Win 10 key is the generic one used in the beta? I'm confused?
 
@juhful I'm also confused about how exactly MS manages upgrades from 7/8.

@yesnoo Yes its a good config. I guess the upgrade is slow because of the 4GB RAM.

Yes, when you upgrade and "uncheck/disable" the "keep windows settings, personal files and applications", you should get a fresh installation. But I'm not sure if it will be as clean as an installation from the retail ISO.

But once you upgrade, you can perform a clean install. But to do that, first you have to do the upgrade so that your Win7/8 license is transferred to Win10.

the only difference is the "windows.old" folder. the rest is similar as a clean install

I haven't upgraded yet.
But when windows update completed downloading files...I made an ISO from Install.esd & bootable USB from ISO.

After I install the upgrade...does Install.esd or any files/folders on that location are modified or remains the same?
If remains the same then I will use the already prepared USB for clean install.
And if those are modified then I will create new ISO & bootable USB for clean install.
