Thanks. Yes I did, even though it isn't required. I'll see what your link tells me.

However, I am beginning to wonder if it is worth it.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

An added complication is that there are normal and N versions and even a KN version for South Korea. You have to update using the matching one.
N version is without Windows Media Player etc.
There are a few more thing to watch out for in this link.

firefox 40 out now with windows 10 support

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

It won't download on any connection you've marked as metered. But that's not possible on Windows 7.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Interesting development!The roll out has reached me!

The process of installation began last night at 10.00 pm. A Get Windows 10 window appeared. This quickly read "Working on it..." At 8.00 this morning it is still there. The hard drive is busy processing something.

I am assuming that the installation process is busily figuring out my system and making adjustments for it - or has stalled.

What I don't get is why this upgrade is so naff that it can't work quickly with my very typical system / configuration. I remember upgrading to Windows 7 from my old operating system with no problems - all my old files, programmes, drivers, discs and add-ons being dealt with deftly. What is so special about Windows 10 that it can't manage my configuration swiftly?

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Never had a problem on my system, it only took 30mins when I joined the insider program, so maybe you have a problem.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

That is an understatement! Yet, my configuration is not particularly unusual. It works without any sign of underlying problems. All drivers are up-to-date.

No system is the same. MS should be able to cope. Going by the problems I am reading about in the various forums there are mounting problems with the upgrade process, installed Windows 10 not functioning properly and ruined systems.

Imagine the millions of non-savvy computer users out there who don't know what is about to hit them.

I've reserved my free upgrade, but I didn't realise I had to wait until they tell me when it is ready, how long does that take? :confused:

Don't know but there is an instant way of getting hold of W10 > https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...load/windows10

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Oh thank you thenry, it would be helpful to know how many people are pleased with this upgrade, or wish they hadn't bothered. :dozey:

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I upgraded from Windows 8 a few months ago and have no problems or regrets, I am a happy camper!

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

It varies. I waited since June some time.

Waste of time though, in my case.

The rolled out installation hung all night. So, this morning, I was recommended a Windows Update fixer so I ran that and the W10 upgrade resumed through Windows Update. "At last", I thought. Unfortunately after going through systems checks etc the installation fell over at 30% just at the point where it was installing drivers, etc. Same old, same old I'm afraid.

I have decided not to bother. Windows 7 is fine.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Thanks for that folks, but Windows 8 was not as good as 7 from what I gather. It would be handy to know if Windows 7 people are as happy about the upgrade.

I have decided to wait for the go ahead as I don't have a USB stick or enough DVD's to download the upgrade from Microsoft site.
