    How to stop windows 10 from offering direct play install?


    Ok, I'm playing some older game 2003 on my PC, and every single time I launch it windows suggests me to install direct play and that became annoyance. Game works perfectly fine without it, so no thanks. Any solution to stop that offer from appearing?

    :)

  2. Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

    Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

    As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

    windows 10 direct play

    I have some problems with Windows 10. I am trying to install an old game but It wants direct play. I have tried to activate direct play but always get a message that 'the configuration registry database is corrupt' error code 0x800703F1. I have noticed
    that windows 10 updates are failing too (which might be the cause of this). I have tried several of the suggestions to get the updates working but am getting nowhere. Any ideas?
