I bought my SP3 in April when rumors of the SP4 coming out in May, June, July, August, October. Point is, there will always be something coming out the moment a product is released. Just be happy and settle with what you can afford.
So now mine activated just now (it was activated when I first upgraded back on the 29th of July). It's like it constantly goes into Unactivated/Activated modes. Easy way to tell is if you can access the Xbox store (white shopping bag icon on start bar), then you are activated.
I got my first overheat shutdown (thermometer icon) and the screen was quite warm. First time this happened too, even with Windows 8.1.
With Windows 10, it's hard to judge what exactly is causing the issue. Anyone else run into this?
**This issue is for my laptop which was originally running Windows 7 Home Premium**
I am getting huge amounts of error messages when updating from Win 7 Home to Win 10 Home (standard upgrade), clean install of Win 10 Home, reformatting the HDD completely, etc. I literally tried at least 10...
I have the Urban Armor Case and there are vents along the edges for heat dissipation. Yes, it's nothing like having no case on it for keeping it cool, but I haven't noticed any adverse effects of using it.
I love it. Never liked the separate Metro UI and it was pointless. Having it integrated into the Start menu was ingenious. I never used 8.1 much, as I came from Windows 7 for the last 5 years.
I mean on my other laptop, connecting an external SSD, installing Windows 10 on it, and then swapping the mechanical inside for the SSD. Other laptop, not SP3.
On another laptop, can you install Windows 10 to an external drive and then swap drives inside? I want to eventually upgrade to an SSD and rather have Windows 10 installed directly to do the swap. Can it be installed this way?
