[QUOTE="nickt, post: 482659, member: 4923"] I've got a couple of small issues. My win 8.1 laptop bought earlier this year refuses to be ready for windows 10 even though I reserved. Clicking the tray icon says they are still validating windows 10 for my machine. I'm not in a rush, its only been about 4 months since my big crash and I hate the thought reloading all my stuff again so soon if things go wrong. My daughter's early model win 8.1 laptop refused to show the reserve icon at all. I ran windows update and applied all the manual 'fixes' that I found. Still no icon. I finally downloaded the media creation tool and made a dvd. Installed from dvd with no problems. Everything seemed fine for an hour or so, then AVG free antivirus did an update and wanted a reboot. It would not fully boot. Endless loop of telling me it had a problem and needed to restart. I had to get into safe mode and disable avg then booted fine. I removed avg and booted fine several times. Reinstalled avg and again could not boot. Removed AVG and its been running several days now. Seems good. Just running Windows Defender for now. [/QUOTE]
