Hey there, I want to do a fresh installation, I have an OEM copy of Windows 7 Home Premium and I'm entitled to use the software. The people at Microsoft customer service are all foreign, very difficult to understand and won't budge an inch on anything. Worst customer service I've ever...

I ditched Windows 10 TP 10049 lasr night for good. It's really beginning to appear to me that Microsoft has lost it's focus, since 2015 got here. The 2 builds of Windows 10 have both had bug's that really shouldn't be there. Mail, Calendar & People haven't worked on either without the end user...

I have read most of this thread & really, tried to keep tabs on it as it continues to have additions. W/out bothering w/ whether an original Key is lost or replaced, whether an original Recovery partition is lost or replaced when a production OS is overwritten by a beta OS, I'm going to suggest...
