How do you check if it's activated ?

Go to Control Panel => System. It will say near the bottom whether it's activated or not.

It doesn't show anything - also my display is awful - I'm at the point of reverting back

I suspect it may have used your old display driver, and that driver is not playing well with 10. Before I give up, I would try to update the display driver. Do you know how to do that? With a clean install Win 10 should find and install the correct driver.

I'm back already - the problems I was having reminded me of when I first installed Red Hat all those years ago

Note that after you do the upgrade, grab a Windows 10 iso install and burn media. You can then do a clean install and it will register using your login account.

Yesterday's XKCD.
Wonderful idea, especially for Kindle books (lousy justification).

Good thing CP supports badgers natively, there doesn't seem to be a proper Unicode character for it.

They are obviously trans-species icons! They might even be dancing nuns (if you squint a lot while looking at them).

What a piece of crap. It does not reliably play videos in ANY format I've tried. With a single file, I've observed the following behaviors (with a program restart between each observation):
- The video plays fine
- The video plays with considerable artifacts
- The video's first frame appears and I get audio
- The video's first frame appears and I DON'T get audio
- The audio plays but I get no video at all
In VLC and WMP, the video plays fine - every time.

Yeah, I found that too, but I don't have the time right now to refactor the code.

It internally uses DirectX, so perhaps upgrading to the latest version of DirectX may help with this somewhat.

That got me thinking:
VLC itself has an option somewhere (Tools, Preferences, Video, Output--at least in version 2.2.2) that lets you define what to use for rendering video, and is doesn't use DX by default if I'm not mistaken. If VLC was reconfigured to use DX, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if it then also started exhibiting the same behavior.
Which brings me to wonder whether the WPF element has any such similar option that can be tweaked to match whatever VLC uses.

I'm running a fully patched-up Win7 install. You'd THINK I already had the latest DirectXcrement. And lets not forget, Windows Media Player (which also uses DX), works fine every time.

WMP uses DX too but not the same way - which is surprising 
I'd still recommend manually checking to see if you have the absolute latest DX installed.

That boat[^] gets the 4th most popular name! Fourth! Unbelievable. It's not like the man doesn't have enough things named after him already. My gruntle has rarely been so dissed!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

True, but there are plans for a submersible to named Subby McSubface! rather than Boaty!

Nope: it was fifth[^] - "It's Bloody Cold Here" beat it as well.
I think it'd be a good idea: look at the names of Culture ships (Ian M. Banks):
No More Mr Nice Guy
Just Read The Instructions

Unfortunate Conflict Of Evidence

Boo!
Funny, It Worked Last Time...
Now, those are good ship names!

'Just Read The Instructions' thats where the SpaceX name came from...

I'm pretty sure in the small print it said that the name has to be relevant.
|
|
|

It's a boat.
"Boaty McBoatface" is pretty relevant, for a boat.
If it was a street, or a pet Llama then it wouldn't be relevant!

However, it is the first reasonable name on the list.
