Windows 10: Rename and Delete Network Profiles on Win10 (Plus Win8 and Win8.1)

Unlike Windows Vista and Windows 7, Microsoft has dropped the GUI to manage (rename, delete and merge) network profiles on Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 (Why??) Unused network profiles accumulate in the registry. I was able to see computers with regular access to public hot spots, containing more than 100 network profiles in the system for no purpose. So I made this piece of software to manage (rename and delete) network profiles on windows. The program is very simple but you can read the text file in the 7zip. Hope it helps.

Upgrade from win8 to win10

I have already upgrade from win8 to win10 before 29 July 2016. After that my HDD is broken, I have to install windows on my new SSD. I use same key which I use to upgrade from win8 to win10 to install win8 (Niow it's 8.1). Today, I want to upgrade win10
and I have some question.

1. Is there a upgrade directly from win8.1 to win10 ??

2. Can I use my win8 key to install win10 using windows10 installation media (with clean installation).

Thanks

 

Win8 to Win10

Your reply is not helpful. Are you an employee of Msoft? In spite of your condescending suggestion, I was able to go back to Win 8 thereby eliminating the bugs and instablnessability of Win10. Exception being the way Msoft trys to sneak 10 onto my Win8
updates. Well I fixed this **** too by turning off the irritating updates.

Take a hike.

EDIT:

Update. I tried Diskpart's set as "active partition" method, but I got an error:

Code:

Code:

DISKPART> list disk    Disk ###  Status         Size     Free     Dyn  Gpt   --------  -------------  -------  -------  ---  ---   Disk 0    Online          465 GB      0 B        *   Disk 1    Online          119 GB      0 B  DISKPART> select disk 0  Disk 0 is now the selected disk.  DISKPART> list partition    Partition ###  Type              Size     Offset   -------------  ----------------  -------  -------   Partition 1    Reserved            16 MB  1024 KB   Partition 2    Primary            465 GB    17 MB  DISKPART> select partition 2  Partition 2 is now the selected partition.  DISKPART> active  The selected disk is not a fixed MBR disk. The ACTIVE command can only be used on fixed MBR disks.  DISKPART>

The 119GB is not another hard drive; it's actually the USB flash drive that I'm using. So, the only Windows 10 installation is on that 500GB hard drive (which is showing up as 465GB).

EDIT2: Well, I have discovered that GPT drives don't use 'active' partitions, only MBR drives do. I'm unsure why Macrium requested one, as it correctly identified it as a Win10 installation, but maybe Win10 can be installed as an MBR sometimes.

So, I heard some people in Kyhi's thread being suggested to try EasyBCD. Unfortunately, that isn't working, either:
