Is microsoft really expirementing on my system?
and whwn will windows 10 not be prerelease software?gpedit.msc
Administrative templates
Data Collection and preview bulds
Disable prerelease features or settings"This policy setting determines the level that Microsoft can experiment with the product
to study user preferences or device behavior. A value of 1 permits Microsoft to configure
device settings only. A value of 2 allows Microsoft to conduct full experimentations.If you disable this policy setting, all experimentations will be turned off.
If you do not configure this policy setting, user can configure the
“Let Microsoft try features on this build” option in Settings."I can't find the above setting?
so mabe MA isn;t expirementing, yet small things like icons
reappearing on the tastbar after I unpinning them.
Mainly the store and edge icons
I disables it to be safe!

MS was just trying to make it efficient to produce more apps for their phones.

This is not saying that after you do the Upgrade that you can then burn a Windows 10 DVD to do the clean reinstall.
That's my point. That's what most people think clean install means.
I would prefer to make a DVD before I upgrade. (If I do)
But the upgrade is only good for the service life of the device
your upgrading, that probably won't be an option.

Great we'll be able to clean install the windows 10 upgrade.
After upgrading says it all to me. If it was a true clean install why would I have to upgrade first?

@JorgeA
Thanks for the reply.
I decided to to update my backup and install the updates on my real computer.
Either ideas sound feasible to me.

I just activated a copy of windows 7 ultimate on vmware using the same serial as the host.
After installing the updates I always hide, I'm still not seeing the new nag icon.
The only updates not installed are Skype and the language packs.
I'm wondering if it's because I'm on a virtual machine (not going to try it on the host).
or does some extra stuff need to be downloaded. I know I had made up my mind not to
get windows 10 guess I'm still hoping for a miracle.

I haven't insulted you. I simply wrote the truth. You have NO knowledge and troll around. I haven't had 1 UAC prompt today, so UAC is no issue at all during normal work and instead of understanding it you bash about this feature.
I'll put you on my ignore list, so that I don't need to read your crap any longer *facepalm*
I'll decide how I feel about something, you have no say in the matter.
From one post about UAC you say I have NO knowledge and troll around.
What I said about UAC is just my opinion nothing more.
Before I built my first computer, don't remember what year but it had WFW
on it, I was afraid of doing much of anything with a computer.
Having to get rid of a virus or two over the years has taught be a lot about
computers than I would ever know otherwise. because of the knowledge I've gained
over the years I haven't had any malware for years. that's not exactly true I did get a pup
when I installed a program without checking advanced install about a month ago and
had to uninstall it. Oh I also always turn off system restore also. But I do have a backup
two actually one on a usb 3.0 drive and another on a NAS. I guess what I'm tring to say is
I do have some knowledge, maybe not as much as I'd like, but I'm only 61 maybe there is
still time.

But as far as UAC is concerned I justr find it annoting.
You'll never convince me to run with it on.
Your point is, that you simply don't understand it. I wrote a guide about UAC here for dummies like you.
I'll always know you as the UAC fanatic. who had to insult me because I disagreed with them.
You think I'm a dummy, I can live with that.

As I understand it, any features of Microsoft Edge will only be able to be used by
universal apps. Which will make it easier for Microsoft to end support for win32 and other legacy stuff.
Thus getting closer to having one store for windows apps.
And of course we'll all be more secure because of it!
Maybe in the future I might come across a universal app that I think is worth having.
But I don't feel good about only having one place to buy it.

Whether UAC is on or off or even if IE is truly secure or not
has nothing to do with my point. Now I don't really know if
we'll be seeing notices on web sights stating something like
"ie11 no longer supported, move to Windows 10 for added security"
or something similar. But I can see it happening.
But as far as UAC is concerned I justr find it annoting.

I'm thinking they started Edge (Spartan) so they could say those still on
Win 7 pr 8 should move to 10 because of lack of security in IE11.

Microsoft Edge, all I can think of is setting on the edge of a cliff
about to fall off.

Thanks for your help.
When I disabled UEFI boot windows 7 would not boot at all.
Kept getting a message saying it wasn't configured correctly.
so I ended up installing 7 again then 10 TP
Don"t have a drive larger than 2TB so really no diff.

I reinstalled so that my computer booted in BIOS mode
instead of UEFI. Both 7 and 10 are running
Now to see what 10 offers.
So far I think I'll keep 7

after installing 10 to a separate hd it boots up and runs.
But if I try booting 7 I get an error the digital sig of
winload.efi can't be verified.
anyone else tried dual booting?
I was curious how it was with real hardware.
thanks

When I first tried v. 8.2.0 regadd items weren't added to cleanup.cmd.
non injectable updates didn't work correctly. The problems were fixed by
uninstalling, renaming the old seven_ua dir to seven and reinstalling.
starting the program clicking on the appswitch.ini button and adding back
my info ie hotfixes and app data etc. and copying my files into regadd and
my_files.
One other thing, I was up to 21 msu files that wouldn't inject. Which seemed
like a lot to me. So to double check I tried removing them from the list.
And I could remove all but 6, 5 of these I moved from the install dir to the
hotfixes dir leaving the 2533552 msu file in the install dir.
All msu files injected without error. The only thing I can think of is that I've
removed and added different updates to inject

When I use "Roll back to here", when I start Se7en_UA up again I

you version of comdlg32.ocx maybe outdated.
I would try renameing the file on your computer and
reinstall the program.
version 8.1.5 works with both 7 and 8

The last version that worked with xp is 6.3.33
if you are using that version then I don't know what the problem
is.

Is Microsoft experimenting on your system
in Windows 10

Are you on the insider program? I was but I'm nor now.
Maybe that setting only show if your an insider
So maybe the gprfit setting has no effect if you not an insider.
I should set it to 2 too see what happens
