Get Media creator and upgrade your Win7 install. This will store your details with Microsoft. Then format and clean install. It will self activate once online.

there was a recent update from about 2 days ago that happened over night. not exactly sure on what else got updated but for sure the update has forced every single file types to default to using the windows native programs. all my video/audio files types got defaulted to "movies & TV" app and all my picture files types got defaulted back to "photos" app and all pdf now uses edge to open. did this happen to anyone else too? WTF microsoft...

Same.
Windows 10 with a new build number, hence all the settings being reset to MS defaults.
Sneaky move by MSFT.

anyone having issues with chrome when going into full screen mode it'll always full screen on the 2nd monitor? im used to browsing on my right monitor which is the 2nd screen, but when i find youtube videos i move the chrome window to the left (main) screen and go full screen on that monitor. for some off reason chrome would always go full screen onto the 2nd monitor instead. need to try it a few times before it would full screen on the main monitor. never had this issue until i upgraded to windows 10.

i have the same issue on windows 8.1. i think it is a new update with chrome. if you downgrade the version it should stop happening.

Was chatting with a friend who also did the Win10 upgrade, and I am so glad my situation wasn't anything like his. For the most part, my PC has been generally stable and trouble-free after the upgrade, but my friend has unfortunately run into the BrokerRuntime problem. Looking a bit into the issue, I am very surprised to see that MS still hasn't comprehensively addressed the issue even though it seems to be common enough. Had I known about something as serious as this, I probably would not have upgraded just yet.

Everything will still be there, barring some drastic hard drive failure during the installation process.

Running Win10 on all my machines. No looking back. No issues either with upgrade install or clean full install. Some of the Windows updates are annoying though.
