    guess i got lucky. 10 fixed numerous smaller things that were bothering me but also seemed to fix a gigantic disconnect issue i've been having for a long, long time now.

    and ffxiv seems to be working perfectly. try the upgrade and just roll back if you have issues, imo

    I just bought a Windows 8 license earlier in the year for 20 bucks and used it instead.

    Everything is working except FFXIV launcher being black with no content. Win10 fixed a few issues I was having before. Have to troubleshoot FFXIV later.
    This might be an issue with Edge (at least I've heard of this problem occuring with IE problems) have you checked that edge works properly? the launcher runs om some kind of IE hook or something.
    (do a ipconfig/flushdns as well while you're at it).

    OEM or retail license?

    Thinking the same thing. I might just buy a copy instead.

    I had bought an Upgrade copy of W7 back in the day, and it was always a hassle when I wanted to reformat or install in a new rig. I might just buy a standalone copy as well.

    You are probably right, had the problem a while back and i think it had something to do with ie being set to maximum security

    I'm really liking Windows 10 so far. The UI is a lot slicker looking than 8. Have ad no problems so far.

    Upgraded to 10 the other day, and kept getting BSOD regarding some video error. I did a clean install today, but haven't had a chance to play any games to see if it will still crash. The crashes were always at random times from 30 mins of playing to more than 3 hours. I am hoping that doing a clean install fixed it, but now I am wondering about buying new RAM. I was about to upgrade to 16GB(2x8), but I am kind of worried about the whole key tied to hardware. If I do buy new RAM and end up needing to do a clean install again will I have to worry about invalidating the key?

    Whats the cut off again for this free upgrade?

    Id really much prefer to do a fresh install. On Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 at the moment. Are people just using the ISO posted a few pages back to do fresh installs?

    This. Got tired of waiting. Pretty much putting Windows 10 on a thumbdrive to install anywhere.

    Also, FFXIV working after reboot. I went into edge settings but didnt change anything.

    You probably did. I bet Windows Update history will show you a lot of failed attempts and error 80240020 yeah?

    Google it for instructions to clear the update cache and re download.

    Had this problem as well, going through cmd, and wiping it it entirely, remounting a ntfs partition on it and reassigning a drive letter to it fixed it for me.
