No go. Successfully reinstalled IE 9 but couldn't install IE 10.

CheckSUR is clear still..
I don't really know where to go from here - other than a repair install.
Is it okay if I leave it not updated?
You can do, since you tend to use other browsers anyhow - but it could leave your system open to attack from vulnerabilities.
If you want to do that, simply hide the updates (right-click and select hide, when they are listed in the offered updates)
You'd also need to switch IE off in the Windows Options - that way it wouldn't be called out very easily by malware.
Control Panel > Programs & Features > Turn Windows Features on or off (look for the IE entry and uncheck it)
I haven't done the repair install, but I just got a message saying activation failed because my product key is invalid. Is it because I'm not in the US or something? There's an option for phone activation. How many times can I activate Windows? I feel it's better to do it after the repair install...
