BTW: If you missed this feature in Windows 8, they brought it back. Open up file explorer and copy/paste the below:

Control Panel\System and Security\Backup and Restore (Windows 7)

Be careful, Win 10 is already targeted:

I am not happy with the forced updates, even if you can postpone them in pro.
As long as I cant disable certain updates from ever installing I wont touch this OS.

There have been plenty of windows updates in the past that are known to completely ruin things.
You used to be able to just undo the update, or go back to a older restore point or something. But now a bad update would only install again eventually anyways only to re-break whatever it broke before. You get stuck in a fix // re-break loop.

Some updates just don't work good with sertain other unusual components. Nothing will ever work 100% as far as updates go.
My old logitech webcam for example, only worked with a older certain driver version for some reason, installling any newer version would break it. Which in 10, would mean a cam that never works as the later driver version is forced.

How very devious of them. Maybe I should have thought of that and made some $$$
hahaha.....

Luckily I didn't have any activation issues on my desktop nor my laptop. I downloaded Windows 10 ISO via the official Microsoft Media Creation Tool, and upon the initial boot it asked me for my serial code, which I didn't have, so I clicked skip, and once in Windows it activated on it's own. Keep in mind that for this method to work, you must first upgrade the traditional way. Then you can do the clean install using the ISO. I hope this is helpful info to anyone struggling with activation issues. I can confirm that if you upgrade through the reservation app first, it does successfully tie the key code to your system.

@Neo7
Do you know of anyway to customize the Start menu, perhaps like making custom folders instead of having everything thrown around and having to go from A to Z? I personally miss the ability to make our own organized folders.

Do you mean for the 'All apps' section of it?

Yes, that is correct. The all apps section.
