Windows 10: Windows 10 build 10125 is leaked

I just did a clean install of 10122 and it's working just fine. And I plan on doing a clean install of the final build if possible. I just like that more rather than an upgrade for the initial build of Win10.

 

I'm starting to lean more toward doing a clean install on Windows 10 when it's released. I like the idea of being able to do a image before and after installing my programs and apps. It would also allow me to decide what programs I don't need any more.

 

I'm currently 'testing' 10125 on two test PC's, but I retain Windows 8.1 Pro on my main PC.
I see no reason at all to replace my main OS with Windows 10. Maybe several years down the road, but certainly not in 2015.

*Cool

 

That's right. New OS. Fresh start. *Smile

 

Personally, I would rather buy a separate license for Win 10 than give up my existing 7 & 8.1. I just hope that MS will give us Insiders an irresistible deal. *Smile

 

A reduced price on a separate license for W10 is what I am hoping for as well.

 

Price reduced to 0 (or close to) I'm hoping for !!!

 

Well....keep a good thought!! *Biggrin But I wonder if MS will do that for people who want a separate license for W10.

 

Glad to hear that *Smile

 

I'm having a problem when I try do disable Windows Defender in build 10125. Even if I go to Windows defender settings and turn off real-time protection, it turns itself on again after a while.

It seems that MS is trying to force the use of WD just like they did with UAC in Windows 8.

 

You don't wanna mess around with AVs at this stage. You'll have issues. I suggest to stay with WD during the preview stage.

 

Hmm, that's interesting. Yesterday, I just upgraded my Win 7 Pro 64 Latitude E4200 to 10125. No real problems in the move. It even transferred everything over intact, even Bitdefender Free. I might uninstall Bitdefender until the RTM comes out this July.

Biggest improvement is all the Modern apps work. In 10122, the Weather app was infamous for never fully installing. In the beginning hours after upgrading, 10 was running a little slow. A second or two lag. But now it's running faster than it did yesterday.

Why upgrade? On this system, too many things to reinstall/configure. Office 2007 Enterprise (purchased), QuickBooks Pro 2013, NAS tools, Office 365 configurations for Exchange email,... Besides, Microsoft needs upgrade telemetry data just as much as it needs clean install data. And this is a 2008 notebook. If MS wants to upgrade everyone from 7, these are the kinds of machines they are going to have to upgrade from.
