I upgraded early from my Windows 8.1 Professional operating system to Windows 10 home OS being bought MS legal license from ODosta Store, Which took 5 hours due to the internet slow speed, But faced many technical issue.
Beside of, I got everyday new updates from Microsoft server, That’s why I disappointed with performance of new OS, That’s why I format it and again install windows 8.
Last week, I read at your blog as Microsoft has stopped continually updates and now we may use constant windows 10, So I purchased its license and upgraded my OS.
Now its working well. Thanks for providing us great information and support.

Directly Clean Install Windows 10

He has listed the procedure as follows:

1] You first need a Windows 10 ISO image or a DVD for clean install.

2] Burn the ISO and extract it.

3] Locate the file gatherosstate.exe on your local drive and move it to the desktop.

4] Run the file and create a GenuineTicket.xml on your desktop.

5] You can now clean install Windows 10 on your PC. Click Ignore if the system asks for product key.

6] Copy the GenuineTicket.xml file to your C drive on path C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsClipSVCGenuineTicket.

7] Reboot your PC.

ignore this article it doesnt work it doesnt activate at all you have to install windows 10 as an upgrade then when activated you can reinstall as a clean install thats the way it can only be done. Ive never read as much bunkham in my life.

In reply to Jamie Kitchens.

I have been watching this process on other sites as well. I will try tomorrow. I have bunch of Windows 7 PCs, HP OEM. So right now, this is what I have been doing:
Step 1: I have Windows 7 Pro already running on that HP laptop.
Step 2 I installed the Win10 upgrade. It activates fine after reboot. This is not a clean install.
Step 3: I install my SSD in my laptop, install Win10 clean and reboot. Activation is successful again.

With the process explained on this page, it technically means that I can squeeze in that gatherosstate process under Step 1, save the GenuineTicket xml file then go directly to Step 3 and save a lot of time by not doing Step 2. That’s what I am understanding. And don’t take my word for it, I’m doing everything the hard way so I could be wrong. LOL
