Update:
> Adguard Extension (replacing Adguard Desktop)

By the way, I have a question guys. I'm about to buy a new HDD, I'm currently using my old laptop's HDD. How can I transfer all my files including the softwares (with license) and OS to the new HDD? I don't want to start over again. Reinstalling Win 10 is a pain. :(

EDIT: I've already made a system backup using AOMEI.

Hi @King Mellow,

You can upgrade to Windows 10 using the following way:
  1. Download Windows 10 ISO file (stable or Insider preview)
  2. When ISO is downloaded. Mount it with right-click
  3. After that start Setup.exe and you should see upgrade window
  4. Now choose to keep your personal files and apps or not
  5. Finally wait for the process to finish
Another way is to upgrade via Media Creation Tool but then it will download Windows 10 files again.

In my opinion ISO way is better. You can always fresh install after upgrade using downloaded ISO file.

You can also make bootable DVD or USB with Windows USB/DVD Download Tool which you can find here.

Regards,
Kardo

Just putting my two ironic cents into the thread. I think that 360, and AppGuard for protection is good as it is. Based on my experience if you don't really pirate or go on shady sites MBAE and MBAM aren't really needed. Not sure about WFC.. I find Windows Firewall (Default) sufficient. Just use Zemana ad a scanner and you're good. :)
