I just tried that. I can add my Microsoft account (and delete it if I want), but I don't get the delete option on my original (wrong) Google account. Guess once I set it up, I can never delete the original.

I signed into Windows 10 calendar with my Google account instead of my Microsoft account. I cannot find a way to cancel the Google account and use my Microsoft account. Can't cancel (or delete) the Google account in Calendar settings.Account. Any way to fix this?

Thanks. That seems to clear things up for me. I used Windows Media Tool and burn that to a DVD. Can I just boot to the DVD and get all the options need to reinstall with UEFI. Or do you recommend creating a USB drive by running the Rufus utility and installing from that?

Yes, I do have my product key, but do I need to get 3rd party utilities, etc. and rebuild my UEFI partition and recovery partition, etc, or does Windows do that on the install. Do I really delete ALL the partitions on my ssd including hidden partitions? How do I delete the UEFI and recovery...

I successfully upgraded Win 8.1 to Windows 10 via Windows Update. I also created an install DVD using the Media Creation Tool. Sometime soon I would like to do a clean install using this DVD, so I can get rid of a lot of junk on my PC and start out new. I assumed I would just put the DVD in my...

One recovery partition is 800MB and the other (after "C") is 449MB.

Just noticed that since upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1, I have 2 recovery partitions. Does Windows 10 automatically create a new recovery partition? If I create a Recovery USB Drive, will it be Windows 10 or Windows 8.1? I can't do anything with either of these partitions via Disk...

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes, I have a Start Menu Icon. There is no Start Menu Tab on the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties. On the preview versions of Windows 10, it was there.

Same problem here. Can't add anything to start menu.

Just wondered, because all the Windows 10 (pre-release) screen shots show a Start Menu Tab. Mine doesn't. Thanks

When I right click my Taskbar and select Properties, I have Taskbar, Navigation and Toolbars Tabs, but there is no Start Menu Tab. I can't customize my Start Menu. Isn't there supposed to be a Start Menu Tab? Thanks

I tried to activate several times and kept getting the error, but it finally took it and is now activated.

If Backup and Restore worked as the instructions say, it would be good enough for me. But it doesn't. Very buggy. Almost useless. Tried W 7 beta and now W 7rc1. W 7 rc1... big disappointment. W 7rc1 out of the box is neat. Now that I loaded it up with hardware and apps, but runs very slow and...

Windows 7RC1 I'm dual-booting XP and Win 7RC1. Each is on a separate hhd. In Win 7, drive "C" is the Win 7 drive and "D" is the XP drive. "G" is an usb external drive. I wanted to write my backups to "D", but "D" doesn't show up in the backup utility. It shows up in My Computer. Only "C"...
