    Simplest way of installing W10 (Almost clean install) with activation


    Installed W8.1 yet again and chose the W10 upgrade when first offered. Made it to a point that I never saw before with Upgrading to W10 with the large circle with the percentage. Didn't sit back and relax but caught a BSOD with a problem gathering info. It booted to try to continue but ended up restoring W8.1 again. I went straight to another in place try, got past the first reboot into the final stages with the large circle again. This time it made it all the way and I'm activated with W10 Pro!*Cool
