    I had Windows Updates waking me up in the middle of the night, hopefully that will be disabled as well.

    You don't use a Win7/8 key for Win10. If you're doing the free upgrade, you don't use any key. Ever.

    Infected,

    No product key is used with a clean install. You are asked for a key on two occasions. Click Skip on the first occasion and Do This Later on the second.

    I noticed the W10 doesn't have Windows Photo Viewer. I found this fix online.

    Add this to a .reg file and you will have WPV on right click again.

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jpegfile\shell\open]
    "MuiVerb"=hex(2):40,00,25,00,50,00,72,00,6f,00,67,00,72,00,61,00,6d,00,46,00,\

    Exactly. Do the upgrade once and you'll never need to enter a key to install.
