Despite it being a 2600k. Review tab stays unavailable as to the reason all of the time and windows update just stays on searching for updates all of the time. Autopatcher gives a mismatch so basically nothing works that will enable windows 10.
Pc incompatible with Win 10
- Thread starter ethan
- Start date
Windows Update is pretty FUBAR on Windows 7/8/8.1 lately, so chances are it's that causing the problems you seem to have with upgrading.
Unless you have some seriously ancient hardware in your setup that simply cannot function in W10, there's no feasible reason why it wont actually work.
As long as you have a legitimate licence for your current OS, you can make a bootable Windows 10 DVD/USB stick with tools that Microsoft themselves supply, and simply input the product key for your current OS when the installer asks you for one.
Edit;
Just now realised you might have meant you're running W10 and it's having problems, it's not entirely clear from your post though.
If that's the case, it's possible something went wrong or got corrupted during the install, an OS refresh might solve it.

I have a I7 950 and X58 board that runs on windows 10 but it does have issues with BSOD and crashing when trying to do some video editing. (clean W10 install)
i went back to windows 7 and the issues went away.
are you on windows 7 and trying to upgrade to W10 or are you on W10 already and having issues? there is a OS reset that resets all the OS settings but allows you to keep personal files so you can try that if W10 is having issues

I'm on Windows 7 and was trying to require the reserved upgrade. I'm running an overclocked i7, 16 gig of ram and a GTX980 so I don't see what's incompatible? It's got to be the actual updater that's broke and as I say, the review tab you check to see what is incompatible always says unavailable, don't worry you can still reserve your copy of Win 10
Two specific errors are now stating: windows update error 0x80070057 not fixed and service registration is missing or corrupt?

if you want to upgrade to W10 just use the USB tool to download the ISO and create a USB tool and run the setup.exe from the USb stick and it should upgrade you to Windows 10.
your system is newer than mine so you should be ok.
can get the tool from here to create a USB stick or download the ISO

Just download the media creation tool so you can get the installer (don't bother with the upgrade this computer option as it's more then likely not to work) and use that to do the upgrade (as has already been stated, windoze update is pretty much broken at the moment and I think the answer to when it'll be fixed is how long is a piece of string).
