I did notice some thing kinda interesting, when i reinstalled Win7 for how ever many time's as it was at the point were you had to phone i did not have too it just activated without any bother at all.
Did not seem that it wanted to get updates until i did activate.
Some thing else i noticed my system is much faster now than it was with Win10 specially startup as i always got this delay were it seemed like it had a hard question and just sat their with the circles spinning or at the desktop like if it was playing some silly game what to load first.
So after setting up a GPT partition and telling the motherboard i have a compatible UEFI video card it was still slower lol, so screw it for now i will wait until next year to try it again and i know what the issue's are now so if i do only have 5 days left to test Win10 again i should know in a day easy .
No real DX10 games yet so no real need anyways, don't want to be a beta tester which is clearly what this is.
I noticed the W7 thing the other day on a system as well. It would not gather updates until it was activated. Seems MS is getting more strict.
