Cheers Griff I can see this weekend is already mapped out I use AOMEI on your recommendation from some time ago, for a freebie its excellent and with the price of USB drives its a no brainer, I've never actually had to restore an image created with AOMEI so am a bit concerned, if I ended up ( worse case ) with an unbootable system - how would I restore an image ? ( thread drift already ).

Run up AOMEI, and click on "Utilities".
Click on "Create Bootable Media". Select "Windows PE", and press "Next".
At the "Select Bootable Media" page, you can pick CD/DVD/USB media and off it goes!
When you want to restore, boot from the PE disk and it is pretty easy (I stuck a "spare" HDD in instead of my "proper" one and did a test restore when I first tried AOMEI to make sure it worked!)

When you download the ISO, try to get the 10586 build. This will spare you a lengthy update to 10586 later. Also: This build will install both Home and Pro versions. Just pick the version that matches your Windows 7 / 8 type.
I also recommend that you do an upgrade BEFORE the clean install. This will ensure that Windows 10 will activate without an activation code. Just skip the steps where it asks for the code. Once the upgrade is activated, do a clean install.

All the best. Will wait to hear back on Monday..
Pretty soon, I need to surrender myself to the unknown.
If I remember, free upgrade is only for an year from date of launch. So I don't upgrade now, I forego my claim and I am stuck with Windows 8.1 or buy Win-10... Is that right ?
Thanks,
Milind

I think July is the cutoff point and then you will have to buy it - which is what prompted me to do it now

In my usual cynical outlook I'll just open up the following can of worms:
OK - you do whatever it takes to install everything and get it all working. Then a Win10 update comes in and trashes whatever MS feels like trashing - or perhaps they're just using you to beta-test the update.
Then what ?

I must have done something wickedly wrong, because I had no serious issues with 10 since I switched late last year, just a few minor oddities. Now I'm worried.

Worry? Maybe. Cause for alarm? Definitely.

OK - I'll be as helpful as I'm able.
Let's skip the intermediate steps: Just go for the panic attack now*
*saves the stress of wonder when it will happen - see how helpful that is!

Since last FOSW was unsolved. Here is another one :
♂ ❤ ♀ ☂ ♞ ♫ 党 ∞ (8)
1. Everyone does this at least once in his life. Some guys does 2,3 or even 4 times.
♂ - Boy
❤ - loves
♀ - a girl
☂ ♞ - symbol of procession.
♫ - lots of musics.
党 - Parties
∞ - and they live happily ever after...
If you sum up all. you will see Marriage.
My signature is never same.

That Scrotums had 8 letters in it, you wanted an answer with 8 letters in it and I wanted to post Scrotums on Code Project.
