Today [2]

Today Starts The Last 5 Days!!!

Last 5 days for the free upgrade folks, if you have been thinking about it and have been putting it off, this is the time to do it!

Just make a system image before hand, upgrade either through Windows update, or my preferred method, MCT on a USB stick(so you have a copy of the image saved in a safe place), and then upgrade and get your Windows 10 digital license for that specific PC when it activates through Microsoft's servers.

You can then reimage back Windows 8 if you wish to keep using it, until it is no longer supported in a few years, at which time you can then download, the then, current ISO version, and switch to Windows 10, because you already have the digital license, and will not need to pay for one later.

The free upgrade offer is ending this Friday the 29th of July 2016.

Tick Tock... Tick Tock!

If you are thinking about making the change, or atleast getting your digital entitlement, start now.
If you wait too long, and run into complications, that need to be troublshot, you are going to need the extra time to get the help you'll need over at Windows Ten Forums

Just a reminder geeks, surf to our sister site Ten Forums and tell about your backup software to win one of two Macrium Home licenses.

Winners are drawn during the Ten Forums Saturday Live Chat tomorrow Saturday, you can participate the Live Chat completely anonymously without any email, forums or other accounts, without registration. Join us, come and meet fellow Windows users and enthusiasts! See this thread at Ten Forums for more information: TenForums Saturday Live Chat 03-SEP-2016 - Windows 10 Forums

Quote from Ten Forums Macrium Giweaway thread:

Tell your backup software, win Macrium Home license!

Ten Forums gives two lucky winners a free license of Macrium Reflect Home edition, courtesy of Macrium Software (one license is at the moment worth €62.95).

Rules are simple: answer the poll, post your reasoning in this thread before 12 noon UTC Saturday 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] of September 2016. You must both answer the poll and reply this thread to participate. Posts from Ten Forums admins, mods and team members will not participate in draw.

Your first post in this thread entitles you to a ticket in drawing. Your ticket number will be the next number available, if you are 51[sup]st[/sup] to participate your ticket number will be 51.

You are of course free to post as many times in this thread as you want to but the post count does not increase you chance to win.

Two winners are drawn in next TenForums Saturday Live Chat on September 3rd, see TF Live Chat thread for schedule. Drawing will be done live during the chat, geeks as we are in a geeky way

TF Live Chat will also include live presentations of Macrium Reflect & viBoot, see post #2 in chat thread for more information.

OK geeks, start posting about your backup software & strategy

@Cliff S - Morning, guy! TF is belly-up right now, along with 7F. Guess John is using a bigger hammer on the Raid controllers he's trying to fix/replace..... just get this

 

[Cliff S]

Good morning a bit of info: http://www.eightforums.com/vip-loun...e-08-00-gmt-02-nov-post544768.html#post544768

I hope it gets finished well before I need to leave for work today, otherwise, I need to wait until I get home around 23:30 to see what's been going on, last night and today.

But at least Eight Forums is getting a little more traffic as a result.

I think it's going to be a few hours yet at the earliest, I may even need to bring another server online and restore the backups to that.

 

[Cliff S]

Oh well, at least it should be back up when I get home after work at 23:30 tonight.

Ah! Thanks, John. Can you give me access to http://www.eightforums.com/vip-loun...-inacessible-08-00-gmt-02-nov.html#post544768 so I can keep up?

 

[f14tomcat]

Thank you, Sir!!
