Feel free to uncheck them right now. You dont need them to auto start with windows and run in the background always. When you need any of them, all them from Start > All Programs. They are all installed in your computer.

These items ....

• OneDrive
• SUPERAntiSpyware (depends on your license type; if it is the free version, uncheck it straight)
• BingDesktop

Depends on your choice. You may keep them, you may not. If not, you will have to start them manually when needed.

This item

• SynTPEnh

Is a must there. It is the touchpad driver. Keep it.

I dont know what it is ....

• CenturyLinkTouchPointAgent

So I cannot say anything about it. Sorry.

I will not recommend you to use McAfee. It causes more bad than good. For Antivirus, Use Avast or Avira or MSE if you want a free one, or F Secure or ESet if you want a paid one.

 

[Jesse Williams]

Okay. Thanks, Arc. I don't even use McAfee. That was probable something I left out when I was removing the Crapware, that comes pre-installed on Acer products.

 

[Arc]

Welcome, mate.

The slimmer the startup folder, the happier the computer.

 

[Jesse Williams]

Okay. That was completed successfully.

 

[Jesse Williams]

Well, what do you know. The "Get Windows 10" app finally showed up. Thanks everyone for your help.

Redoing the whole system is a pain. I don't want to do it again. Others are reporting this issue. There has to be a workaround for the issue.

The work around is to be patient and wait. Frankly this whole thread is a waste of every bodies time and effort as you did not follow through with Gregrockers reinstall recommendations. The full version of Windows 10 is not out until 29th of July and frankly a user like yourself (a noob) needs to wait for several months at least before (Up)grading to Windows 10 if you don't want an unstable PC. Early OS adopters fly by the seat of their pants as they know how to restore their baulked system in 15 to 20 mins. Now relax and stop worrying about Windows 10 and the stupid update.

 

[Jesse Williams]

You have no right to jump down my throat like that. Have you ever heard of Autism and a Learning Disorder? I didn't understand Greg's instructions, therefore that's why I didn't do a clean install. I am not a noob. I came to this forum to get help. Do they have a forum like this for the special needs? Probably not! Put yourself in my shoes, before you jump to conclusions. I appreciate Greg's help that he offered me. He helped me a lot. But, some people I can understand better than others. Have a blessed day.

The upgrade notification hasn't appeared for everyone yet. A friend of mine hasn't had his yet. I would just wait a week or two. Perhaps it's something that will be rolled out slowly. Remember it's not being released until July 29th so you don't need to do it just yet.

Of course I do hve every right to tell you you are wasting every bodies time .Yes I am very familiar with disabilities. I have a mentally retarded younger brother and I myself am disabled with heart disease and cannot work or do to much without being in chronic pain.
Aside from that you may have caught me in pain and a little aggressive with my posting so I apologise but you do not have to worry about getting windows 10 installed for some time yet. Also you should probably fix problems you have with your 7 as they will most likely be carried forward into your new OS.
You should find a friendly member who lives fairly near you to help you out with a reinstall. Everyone on here has different abilities. I am a hardware guy as I was an engineer but I can also do some software issues too. That is what is good about the forum. Like I said YOU need to wait before you install Windows 10 since I believe what will be available on July 29th will be buggy and unstable

Just a couple of months ago, Jesse was hell bent on installing the Preview, whether he did or not is anyone`s guess.

We tried to help him as much as possible.

 

[Layback Bear]

Jesse so you understand how things work.

Things that are in msconfig/Start up that are unchecked will still work when you tick on them or their icon. They just won't run in the background when not needed.

I also recommend checking msconfig/Startup now and again because with updates and some programs they will slip in the Startup without you knowing it.

Also double check to make sure your active security programs continue to stay checked.

Myself I'm going to wait a while for Windows 10. Their is no hurry. Windows 10 isn't going any where.

 

[Jesse Williams]

I am through with this conversation. If yall want me to leave the forum, then I will leave. This is the best forum I've found to get help. Guess I will be going to the Microsoft Community from now on.

 

[Layback Bear]

I hope you are not leaving over my post. It was intended to just help a little.

 

[derekimo]

If yall want me to leave the forum, then I will leave.

Nobody wants you to leave, you have as much right to be here as everyone else.

 

[Jesse Williams]

I hope you are not leaving over my post. It was intended to just help a little.

Layback Bear, no it wasn't you.

this worked for me. From I want to reserve my free copy of Windows 10, but I don?t see - Microsoft Community

This section posted by Susan Bradley:
Community Moderator Susan Bradley (I don't work for Microsoft) with a community edit:
There is a community provided tool/script that will go through several means to fix the common issues. The link to this tool/script is buried on page 90 of this forum - but the easier way to find it is in the middle of this InfoWorld article - it's the dropbox link https://www.dropbox.com/s/0u0au9xgy6ss18p/win10fix_full.zip?dl=0 which is also referred to in the article below:
How to remove (or acquire) the Windows 10 free copy icon | InfoWorld
Instructions to run the tool:
1. Go to https://www.dropbox.com/s/0u0au9xgy6ss18p/win10fix_full.zip?dl=0 and download the file.
2. Copy the win10fix_full.bat file to anywhere else like desktop.
3. Right click the file and click run as administrator.
4. Follow the screen instruction untill to come to main menu screen.
5. On main menu screen do step 1 first and check if you go the updates insalled and and then press any key it will take you back to main menu.
6. Now do step 2 which only takes like 1 second and should have the icon in the task bar.
Please note this tool is not officially from Microsoft is not sanctioned by them but it has been reviewed by me, is not malicious and certainly makes it easier to get the process done.

 

[Jesse Williams]

The only problem that I have now, is that it won't show up that I am reserved for Windows 10 in Windows update. It does on my sister's laptop, but not mine.

 

[Arc]

Dont worry about the reservation, Jesse. You will be able to upgrade to 10 without any problem even not reserved.

 

[Jesse Williams]

Okay

 

[Brds7t7]

Okay

Reservation just means You'll be one of the first to get it... and all the bugs that'll come with it for early adopters!!
So, I wouldn't rush. Best to let the early bugs get ironed out first. You've got a full year to get it for free so personally I wouldn't rush it.
