Press ctrl+alt+delete on your keyboard
Click on "TASK MANAGER"
On top left, click on "FILE"
Click on "RUN NEW TASK"
Check the box "Create this task with ..."
Type in MSCONFIG
Click OK
Click on BOOT
ON the bottom on the BOOT MENU, check "safe boot" and select "network"
Click "Apply" then "OK"
Restart your computer
When it is rebooted and you get on the safe mode desktop, press ctrl+alt+del again
type MSCONFIG again
In BOOT menu uncheck safe mode
Apply, OK and reboot

Thanks! I tried getting to msconfig but couldn't because of that popup. Either way, restarting fixed the problem.

Any techies out there have time for a q?

I upgraded to Windows 10 on my mothers computer but it's been kind of awful since she purchased it and it's only gotten worse.
I'd like to install a clean version of Windows 10 on her comp.
I have an extra laptop that is eligible for the upgrade. Is there a way I can use it to install the clean version on her comp?

TIA

You can put the Windows 10 install on a USB.
Use this: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install

From the computer it's going on, correct? Not the one I'm taking the upgrade from.

False. Just make sure the Windows 10 that is installed is currently activated, and then you can install windows 10 fresh, and press skip whenver the install asks for your serial/key. Windows 10 will activate a fresh install if the hardware id matches the id of an upgraded pc.

I could be wrong but I have the experience otherwise I was lucky I did a backup before I did a fresh install and from that backup I used a program to get the serial number. It said I have to enter in a product key.

If Windows 7 or 8 was activated, and you then upgraded to 10, and it activated, you no longer need a serial if you were to re-install. if it asked, there was probably a button to "skip".

Sorry there was an option but it was not registered (I could not update since it asked for a product key)

Very strange. Same PC went through upgrade from an activated version of Windows? It activated 10 post upgrade (not the clean install)? Not a VM?

Here is the fix for slow chrome on win 10:
Disabling Hardware Acceleration in the Advanced settings helped me. It has improved 10 fold. I think someone else here actually posted this answer too-- just further reassuring that it's what worked for me as an avid chrome user. Settings> Advanced Settings > Scroll all the way to the bottom. Should be a checkbox. http://i.imgur.com/EMCIBnD.png?1

Ok I think I understand we are not talking about the same "clean install" you were talking about the clean install Microsoft version (going through the settings). I was talking about a "clean install" as in "clean install" downloading the cd and installing.
