What happens If I happen to change my Graphics Card? Will I need to activate it again?

Is it during the file download ? Or when you are trying to install ?
If file download, shouldn't it resume from last point ?
I got the something happened too but on a trivial matter. It looks someone was too cool at coding.
It's the Media Creation Tool. No, the download didn't resume.

Key will be registered in mobo bios not in GFX bios so no problem
try changing the language preference to US

Well...that's shitty download programming then.
I just completed download from Media Creation Tool (selected US English during download). Size of x64 iso is 3.1 GB (created from ESD file of 2.61 GB), while the one I created from the automatic updated ESD(2.61 GB) is about 3.71 GB.
I can't tell which one to keep now for future installations. Both were created from same size ESD.
Nope. Read the first post. You must have either Win 7 or Win 8.1 to be eligible for upgrade to Win 10.

Check both ISO in VirtualBox, and see if there's any difference. Atleast try to.
That's a lot of time waste in installing. I will keep both. Will do a version check.

I forced download and after downloading 3 gb it failed stating that it is corrupt download
Use this.
Download the file and use it to install win 10.
Make sure you "upgrade to windows 10" and not do a fresh install(If you attempt this then your windows will not activate).
Also if you're having the problem "something happened" then change your system locale language to English(United States).
I used this method and Windows 10 is working flawlessly.

Guys
My lappy came with windows 8 genuine but the recovery partition got accidentally formatted while installing fedora
(i don't have any recovery disks either).I am not a Windows fan i use dual booted win 7 occasionally for gaming but I'd like to check out win 10 before the free upgrade offer expires so that i can have a genuine license for future use if need be.
From what i understand the geuine key is hard coded in the mobo of the lappy so it's not lost yet.What i would like to know is that if i download win 8 iso and install will it recognize this key and activate itself so that i can upgrade to 8.1 and then to 10 ?

Yup you need to be on 8.1 to perform upgrade no two ways about it presently

Yes, windows 8 will recognize the key.
Many users have upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10.

I installed today (fresh install) and after install the builtin Radeon HD 4250 driver and Netgear wifi dongle driver not there.My PC uses a usb wifi dongle.
Luckily i had Win 8.1 x64 drivers for both and working now.
Yeah Amd page also doesn't mention any new driver but win 8.1 drivers shud work.

If you have Windows 8 upgrade to 8.1 then to 10 or else Download 8.1 directly then upgrade to 10.OK.
You cannot upgrade directly from Windows 8 to 10(not 8.1).OK.
If you have Windows 7 you can directly upgrade to 10.OK. Am I clear now?
