windows 10 --- windows easy transfer --- not there any more , Microsoft dropped the ball on windows easy transfer
----

When I used Windows easy transfer on my w7 PC, and tried to restore files and settings onto the new windows 10

No can do , surprisingly windows 10 does not include the easy transfer ....

instead it outsourced it to our old friend Laplink .... PCmover,

The PCmover is free for personal use, if PCmover detects a domain environment , it will refuse to run

the my solution is easy .... manually copy the files over and setup up again

in retrospect, usmt may be used in the domain

PPTP split tunnell in windows 10 --- cannot be done via the GUI interface

PPTP split tunnell in windows 10 --- cannot be done via the GUI interface

in windows 10 preview days, I thought its a bug ... or an outdated driver ....

now .... it is a feature ..,

in the network properties, select ipv4, click on property again, and again, nothing showing up,..

eventually I did some search ... I am not alone....

you can't do it that way again, you will have to use power shell to do it ...

where is my disk space? --- an Amazon cache drive -- free space disappearing -- its in system info

where is my disk space? --- an Amazon cache drive -- free space disappearing

- well , its an iscsi drive - cache

- its slow , especially run near capacity, the speed is the internet outgoing speed.

the problem I had is that the data is 400GB out of 1 TB, where is the other 600GB, I contacted the vendor 2 times, received no reply.

for a different reason, this drive is replaced by another iscsi drive which kind of a local disk

another guy used treesize, he found 600 GB in sysvol as he said.

blush ... blush ... blush.... I thought there was a bug...

it wasn't .... the hidden files are in system information folder, its a system folder, I manually  add myself to it, then I saw 600B files, even if I turned off -- de-duplication on the server.

there are lots of other files in that folder ...

like shadow copies ?....

The digital signature for this file couldn't be verified.

Error code: 0xc0000428

I tried to boot from the preview ISO, no luck

The problem is that Technical Preview expired April 15, and this is how they choose to handle it. You can change bios date to before April 15, but toy cannot reach your bios.

well this error is most likely due to this preview expired in 2015

time to delete

upgrade my home notebook to windows 10 from windows 8.1

upgrade my home notebook to windows 10 from windows 8.1

its a small HP notebook,

the w10 pop up notification told me that they are working with their partners to tell me what's the best time for upgrade.

waht a sham, after some resaerch, a reg key is needed to bypass that.

also there is a MS link to download upgrade files,

i clicked the link, the upgrade start,

it was late at night, I let it run over night

it is a success.

before upgrade I removed bit defender,

after w10 installed, it used windows defender,

I also downlaoded and installed malwarebytee anti-exploit and MS  EMET

there was a warning before upgrade about the autologon may not working, it actually still working

overall, it is a good experience apart from the thing that I have to manually trigger it

not a thing for ordinary user

configure disable outlook warning in GPO, ( heaps of link on the internet)

for RDS, enable loopback process, set to merge

also I found I need do GPO settings via the server manager, or one of the settings not being saved

the good point it w8 / w8.1 GUI is a failure

as W10 dont have those so called charms like pop-outs

in retro, w8.x GUI is a waste
