I installed from USB today (actually it's not a proper USB drive - it's a microSD card from an old Sony-Ericsson stuck into an adapter and it is painfully slow). First attempt I tried to do a fresh install. Seemed to install OK but on reboot it just BSOD everytime it tried to start. Two versions of the OS were listed in the boot manager but neither would boot. So I deleted all the partitions during setup so I had one chunk of unallocated space on my boot SSD. Ran setup and this time the OS installed successfully. Pretty smooth install actually, updated to FCU very quickly. Quite a few of my settings migrated to my new install, such as colours and wallpaper. Appears to be activated just fine. So, I'm guessing either a corrupted recovery partition or perhaps some insidious malware.
