King Mellow's Layered Security 2016

Then, I used a tool (I forgot the name) from MS for clean installation.

Is it the MediaCreationTool?

I did a clean installation because that was what was recommended here, especially when that time Windows 10 just got released for the general public. Right now, maybe it's not needed since MS might have sorted most of the bugs for upgrade.

I guess I'm doing the 'upgrade' alone. I hope it'll work out well for me.

I have used the the media creation tool and and you can choose either to keep your files or do a clean install, both ways have worked fine for me on lots of machines with no problems so the choice is yours.

 

[King Alpha]

Thanks for the heads-up @frogboy!

Thank you so much bro @XhenEd!

 

[King Alpha]

Do I need to uninstall all my programs? I'm a little bit worried that they might get damaged after the upgrade. @XhenEd @frogboy

 

[frogboy]

No you can keep them if you want to.

 

[frogboy]

See here you can choose to keep your files or choose what to keep.

 

[frogboy]

Or if you have home version.

Thanks @frogboy!
By the way, is it necessary to disable all the security softwares? These are my security softwares (real-time protection); 360TS, WFC, AG, MBAE, WAR, MCShield.

 

[frogboy]

Some people say yes but i have not had to disable my security software, i have upgraded six or seven PC,s at this time.

Upgraded to Windows 10 this morning!

Well done i am sure you will like it i know i sure do.

So far I like it. It is definitely faster than Windows 8.1.

@King Mellow: Be ready for any unexpected cumulative updates which many users are whining for errors [Windows 10].

No problem so far..

Update:
Real-time Protection:
360 Total Security - AppGuard - Windows Firewall Control - Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit
Light setup! Most importantly it is not OVERKILL! lol

If AppGuard is blocking every executable, is it necessary to have 360TS or MBAE anymore?

True, but I feel more comfortable with an Antivirus. I don't know why but maybe because I'm a paranoid user.

Even the Devs of Appguard will tell you to run appguard with a AV or suite.. Running two layers is still better then not enough and the overkill seen many places here.

 

[Alkajak]

You'd still be running two layers by default with Windows Defender.

Well said bro.

Not a fan of Windows Defender but I might give it a try later.
