I made an iso using the esd method.If I select upgrade will it ask for a key? If it does do Iuse the normal windows 8 key?

If you use the correct ESD according to the version of windows 8 you have installed it should not ask for the key and will stay activated.

Still naff all on my pc.

In fact, the win10 icon in the bottom right corner is now gone.

This might be a daft question, but I have a Surface Pro 3 running Windows 8.1. If I upgrade to Windows 10 am I going to have to reinstall all my programs?

Thanks

Installed - running -

No sound on creative XFI Titanium, but i expected this.

Seems ok so far.

Came from windows 7 on my main machine and have only used 8 for a few hours.

10 seems very much like 8 on the surface... at least to me.

No. It'll keep all your apps and documents in place. That doesn't mean all your apps will work though

Create a bootable ISO file from your Windows 10 Download for reinstallation:

I just turned my PC on this morning and am getting no sort of prompt to start the W10 installation. I presume I'm ok to start the installation using the link here?

Does this automatically make a bootable stick if you choose the USB option?

Turned my PC on this morning and it just blue Screens and restarts, think it's Nvidias driver.

Can I use this to upgrade? Or does Windows need to "update" itself for 10 to activate?

Turned mine on, it wiped out the $Windows.~BT folder and created a smaller one and also a $Windows.~WS folder. However when I go to windows updates now it isn't saying about windows 10 anymore. This is such an annoying way to do this, I have no idea if it's broken or just MS deciding it's not my turn to upgrade.
I take it if I download the ISO I can still do an in place upgrade and it will pick my key up?

Ok brill, I've gotta go to work now, do you mind letting me know if that works ok so when I get home I can install it please? Many Thanks

Will use the tool at work (Boss feels we should upgrade ASAP as we will soon be supporting it) but they are domain machines so will have VL keys and theres no icon anyway.

Due to being on AMD that scares me even more

Downloaded my copy from MSDN this morning. Interestingly they don't have a Windows 10 Pro, it seems to have been swallowed up by the Enterprise version. Or maybe they'll release further versions in the coming weeks.

Mine started this morning, 2.7Gb

I cannot see any activity on my Windows 7 PC. No idea if files are being downloaded from Microsoft at present.

Also whenever I try and check compatibility it just says 'The report is not available at the moment!'
