  1. upgrading/getting out of s mode when I have home edition installed


    I just bought a new laptop which had windows s already preloaded. I also bought Windows 10 home edition not from the Microsoft store as it was more expensive. When I try to switch out of s mode, it keeps wanting me to buy it from the store, even though the computer also says I have now downloaded the upgraded version. How do I get out of s mode??? I am trying to download some programs but it keeps sending me back to the store saying I am in s mode and it is not recognising the apps. This is so frustrating. I have tried googling how to fix this, but I cannot find an answer that I either understand, or that actually fixes the situation. Please help!

    :)

  2. Clean Install Workaround for Vista

    You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:
    • Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
    • When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
    • Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
    • When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
    • This time enter your product key
    • When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
    • Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it
    Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.
