Solve : Purchasing Windows 10?

Answer» <html><body><p>When you purchase Windows 10 does it come in a box with discs or do you get a download card as I did when I purchased Photoshop Elements. <br/><br/><br/><br/>I think what you do is you go to the website where you download the software at the same time you are given the serial number. <br/><br/>After I'd downloaded the software I found it wouldn't accept the serial number after a few attempts I went to Adobe support where  they have someone you can chat to. I had to give this person proof I'd purchased the product. I scanned my receipt and sent it via email. <br/><br/>Some few minutes later this person I was chatting to informed me that she had registered my Elements Software.  After we ended the conversation I tried again to install Elements, this time I had no bother with the installation. <br/><br/>I'm considering purchasing Win 10, but I don't want the hassle I had with Elements.  You want the whole world to see your Photoshop Elements serial number?<br/>image deletedThanks for deleting the image I never gave it a thought.  I have installed windows 10 many times.<br/>It is easy to install, jut time-consuming.<br/>And Microsoft will let yu use it for awhile before you activate it.<br/>Here is a recent article about how to get Windows 10:<br/><a href="https://www.pcmag.com/article/345799/how-to-try-out-windows-10-for-free-for-90-days">How to Try Windows 10 for Free for 90 Days</a><br/>Try it!  <br/><br/><br/> <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/quote-1175222" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about QUOTE">QUOTE</a> from: Geek-9pm on October 13, 2019, 01:28:53 PM</p><blockquote>I have installed windows 10 many times.<br/>It is easy to install, jut time-consuming.<br/>And Microsoft will let yu use it for awhile before you activate it.<br/>Here is a recent article about how to get Windows 10:<br/><a href="https://www.pcmag.com/article/345799/how-to-try-out-windows-10-for-free-for-90-days">How to Try Windows 10 for Free for 90 Days</a><br/>Try it!  <br/></blockquote> <br/>Thank you. I intend to purchase Win 10 rather than download any trial version. I'm not worried about the installation being time-consuming. I've installed Win 7 often enough. I'd be more happier to know when you purchase the product, it comes on an installation disc, rather than have to download it from Microsoft as I did when I purchased elements from Adobe.It depends where you purchase it, but Retail copies come on a read-only custom USB Drive. There is a card in the packaging as well which contains the product key for activation.If you have a good Internet connection, the download is a good thing.'You can gt the checksum for the download and test it to see if it was good.<br/>Both Windows 10 and Winnows 7 have a Built-In MD5 Checksum Calculator<br/><a href="https://onthefencedevelopment.com/2017/08/15/windows-10-builtin-md5-checksum-calculator/">https://onthefencedevelopment.com/2017/08/15/windows-10-builtin-md5-checksum-calculator/</a><br/><a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/also-373387" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ALSO">ALSO</a>, you could have a friend download it and put it on a USB thing.<br/><br/>Bear in mind,  the DVD version may not be as up to date.<br/> Quote from: Geek-9pm on October 13, 2019, 03:12:59 PM<blockquote>If you have a good Internet connection, the download is a good thing.'You can gt the checksum for the download and test it to see if it was good.<br/>Both Windows 10 and Winnows 7 have a Built-In MD5 Checksum Calculator<br/><a href="https://onthefencedevelopment.com/2017/08/15/windows-10-builtin-md5-checksum-calculator/">https://onthefencedevelopment.com/2017/08/15/windows-10-builtin-md5-checksum-calculator/</a><br/>Also, you could have a friend download it and put it on a USB thing.<br/><br/>Bear in mind,  the DVD version may not be as up to date.<br/></blockquote> <br/>My Internet connection is quite good. Sometimes the installation of an application takes longer than the download.<br/><br/>When I downloaded Elements It went straight into my software partition on my portable disc drive, then I made a DVD back-up.
