TGIF i guess.

After fighting with Win 10 all this time I decided to just do a clean install on my new mirrored 2TB drives. I have the hard drive from before so 100% of my data is safe. My old system was an upgrade from Win 7 Pro. Of course I never had a Win 10 install source. It is interesting I can download a file and set it up on on a thumbdrive to do a clean install of Win 10. Evidently Microsoft has a bunch of "activation servers" that have a record of my CPU and computer configuration. It will check that data somehow and activate my Win 10 win to registration key since I was a legit user of it before.

So clean install and re-install the programs I need. That will be a pain but I will have a cleaner system. I have installed and uninstalled many programs over the last 3 years.
