Windows 10

I'm surprised by the number of reservation queries too.
Best bet is to download the Media Creation Tool linked earlier on in the thread (Page 200) and get the ISO.
I didn't bother with reserving, just waited for the ISO link and can then upgrade PC and laptops at my convenience.

Friend of mine upgraded early in the beta or whatever it was and had quite a few issues with Steam and some games. Anyone who has udpated experiencing anything like that?

I'm just worried about CS:GO working

 

[katinacooker]

Yes. Have you?
I am in the same boat as you, nothing triggering. Maybe if we both have terrible broadband connections it might be chucking us down the priority list?

I also have really slow downloading speeds, but only when DLing Win 10. Wonder if their servers are broke!

Two pen drives loaded and ready to go, one with pro and one with home on. Looking forward to getting home so i can upgrade both my PC and laptop

Now i just need the windows 10 ADK, RSAT, SCCM 2016 and Server 2016. Then that'll be me sorted for something to do at work for the next 11 months!

Now have 9 failed "Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro" updates showing in Windows Update - anything I can do/should do to solve this or is it normal?

Me too. Lots of failed installs? Tbh mate I'm in no hurry to upgrade. MS are doing the wins 10 installs in waves. Just wait a day or two.

 

[Cosimo]

And has anyone else got slow internet speeds

Yup, servers being hit. Was fast over an hour ago.

mines @ 2.699.0 MB, 70 % complete did the wuauclt.exe /updatenow from the command prompt earlier on this morning.

Found the upgrade really easy. Downloaded the windows 10 media creator, created a windows 10 USB , ran setup from this. This upgraded my 8.1 pro to 10.
Then booted from the USB and did a clean install of 10, skipped the product key entry. Installed and it automatically activated itself.
Really quick and easy

did this and had no issues at all, was easy to do

 

[Thesnipergecko]

Has anyone tried the upgrade yet that currently have a dual OS system?

I have two 8.1 installs on my system, one for gaming and one for work, both on different SSD's.

I don't want it to balls up my boot records.

Look if you people can't do it via the automatic method just download the ISO from Microsoft directly and install it from there, activations are fine.

Finally a upgrade path which makes sense.

I want to upgrade both machines but my sony vaio won't have upgraded drivers for some time i imagine, What is driver compatibility like from other vendors from 8.1>10 ? Wondering if the 8.1 drivers may work for time being atleast to get a partial function

 

[wildest_jjk]

So you don't enter a product key when you come to do the fresh install?

 

[anything I don't mind]

I have not had any problems with any software at work or home. Anything that works on 7 will work on 10.

Question: Once you've upgraded how do you get your product key that's applicable to windows 10 so that you can do a clean install? Presumably this is documented or mentioned somewhere but ive not seen anyone mention it yet.

You'll probably be surprised how many drivers are already included for it in windows 10, the laptop i was using with the insider previews had every driver readily available in win10 without exception.

This ^

It uses a unique hardware identifier hash, no key is required is what I am reading.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Upgraded using the forced method...many moments where it just paused for ages...but upgraded fine in the end!

Did yours pause on installing features and drivers for a while?

Given up with trying to get the W10 reservation icon and going to use the above.

Iv heard the basics seem pretty much there, webcam drivers, bluetooth drivers, touchpad drivers and graphics and sound. But specific drivers like keyboard LED settings etc i doubt would be there unfortunatley and these are some useful features of this laptop with the led's adjusting to the ambient lighting around i would miss these.

And looks like no Win10 for my work PC...
