Hate this update program
Is official iso available on net ?
Right. Else use the MediaCreator tool to download the ISO or upgrade directly.

Download the app and get ISO file. I did and installed as a fresh install.
Waiting for activation.

I have no issues
As you said previously, the mobile/tablet and touch screen type interface is used everywhere.
When I made Chrome as default, it took me to settings windows where I have to choose default apps for different needs like music, video, browser. They brought almost every setting in one place like ios style.
Yeah, and it's pretty basic. Lacks in uniformity, user experience, and downright ugly in some places.
Few things even remind of a badly put together linux distribution.
Yes, big and ugly titlebars. Obviously a compromise for touch tablets.

How to change the title bar color in Windows 10 with a simple modification
Click to enlarge During the past few months, we have seen Windows 10 go from a simple user interface to one that has more customizable options such as being able to change the accent colors. One area Microsoft has yet to update is the title bars as they have been white during nearly the entire beta period. But thanks to a simple modification, if you want to change the colors, it's as simple as applying a new theme.

Here's how it works: download the zip file from the link below (no warranties on this, try at your own risk, we take no responsibility for anything that may go wrong here) and then extract the zip file. After extracting, copy the files to Windows -> Resources -> Themes so that it looks like the image below.
Click to enlarge Once you have copied the files, double click the 'windows' file and this will apply the color to the title bars. If you want to change the color, simply go to the personalization menu and switch the accent color and this will change the title bars to whatever color you want.
Seeing how simple this modification is, we are surprised that Microsoft has not turned this feature on but there may be compatibility issues that are not obvious. For now, the company isn't commenting on if or when this functionality will arrive, but until then, you can use this modification to enable the feature.

The best alternative Start menus for Windows 10
*betanews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/classic-shell-Start.jpg
Windows 10 is here, and with it is the Start menu missing from Windows 8.x. The world rejoices. Except not everyone likes the new Start menu which blends the functionality of the Windows 7 menu with the Metro/Modern tiles from Windows 8.
If you’re not a fan of Windows 10’s Start menu (and some people are avoiding the free upgrade purely for this reason), the good news is there are a number of decent replacements available.
Classic Shell
Ask a Windows 8 user which is the best Start menu and the chances are they’ll say Classic Shell. It truly is fantastic. It offers a choice of three different menu styles -- Classic, Two Columns and Windows 7 -- which can be skinned to suit your tastes.
It is packed with options, including a dedicated shutdown button, the ability to pin programs directly from Explorer and an enhanced Windows Search function.
Most people will choose this Start menu over all others, but there are further choices to consider.

IObit Start Menu 8
Sure, from the name you might think IObit’s Start menu only works in Windows 8, but it supports Windows 10 too. The program offers a choice of styles. You can opt for the usual Windows 7 look, or go for the Windows 8 design which places the Start (or Apps) screen inside a window on the desktop. It offers a selection of different Start button choices too.
Power8
Not the most polished looking of Start menus, it lets you access frequently used applications and pin items. It doesn’t require installation, so you can try it out without risk. It will work with both Windows 8.x and 10.
Start10
Stardock’s Windows 10 Start menu replacement lets you choose between classic or enhanced Start menus. There’s unified search for apps, settings and files, and you can access desktop and modern apps from the menu. There’s also a skinnable Start button. It will set you back $4.99, but there is a 30-day free trial. I'm actually a big fan of this particular Start menu and would definitely recommend you at least consider it.
*betanews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Start10.jpg
Others
It’s possible that other Start menus designed for Windows 8.x will work with Windows 10, but I’ve chosen to only include ones I know will work with the new OS.
Will you be using a third party Start menu in Windows 10?

It won't get activated. Always use the upgrade for the first time. Get it via the Windows update app or this: Windows 10

I want to upgrade to Windows 10 on my laptop but the thing is the COA sticker has wiped out over time, i have no re-installation disk, the back & recovery drive is gone too that comes with the laptop (the 40 gb something partition). All i'm left with is the service tag. How do i reinstall the windows 7 home that i got with my laptop? Also, i installed Linux in-place of the genuine windows i had. I have the dell XPS L502X.
I read this article, would this method work?

I called MS customer care and they are asking me to wait for 24 -48 hours to get activated

I upgraded from win 8.1 genuine to 10 home SL. Activated
Took about 15hrs to download on 512kbps using media creation tool. Windows update failed to install it.
The only issue I am facing is the incompatibility of kaspersky 15

Uninstall Kaspersky Internet Security 2015 for now and for the time being use the inbuilt Windows Defender by updating it.OK.
