WinOSX Day Countdown

I'm trying to figure out what to do with:

$Windows.~WS
$Windows.~BT

Folders, after the install, surely they aren't needed anymore? And hell there sitting on 9GB of SSD.
 
they mentioned that if you had the Tech preview you could upgrade to full version has anybody tried this? as I put it on my sons pc and wondering if I could upgrade his for free
 
So I finally have both machines running with clean installs that are fully activated, and in the process of loading programs, games and other software etc.

I have found though that suddenly I have 2 logins showing up on the login page which is preventing the auto login from happening which, I am now trying to figure out how to resolve as in the user accounts section there is only my main live account showing up, and everywhere I look there is only one user which is my live account, but the login page is showing a local account as well.

That is on both pc's and I am wondering if it has something to do with me changing the computer names so they are not "PC-XXXXXXX" and instead, are labelled correctly as "Gaming" & "Media", if that is what has caused it then it's yet another PITA issue to fix.


***Update***

Well I finally figured out the reason for the 2 user logins appearing, and it was because I was telling it that I didn't want to enter the password and instead wanted to boot, directly in to the desktop without asking for a password.

As soon as I changed it back so it asked me for a password or pin, the 2nd user account disappeared.

I know someone who has, it did it by itself apparently, no issues at all.
 
that's good to know will give it a go later once he is a bed :)

Pretty sure that TP users had to stay on the TP in order to upgrade, while you did get the same build as we did, you also still are enrolled in the TP program. It was the downside of letting them get W10 for free to prevent pirates from getting the TP then getting W10 for free. Unless they changed that...
 
Well upgrading it now will se if it activates once it's installed hoping so

Edit: well all installed and activated with no issues, for anybody thinking of doing this
