Windows 10

Anyone planning on making the jump from 7 to 10?

I will stick with 7 as long as possible unless 10 improves on 7 somehow. I starting to think Msft only make a decent OS every 2nd time or so.

Im sure they will offer DX17 or something as a W10 only option.

Out today on Insider if anyone on it, havent been arsed downloading it.

Yes, they're all there, but you'll need to reset them to be the default apps rather than the MS equivalents again.

It doesn't want to offer the installation option on my desktop at all. never mind, I'm going to hold off for a while on that one anyway.

The upgrade went really well on my laptop I must say, although I still don't really like it from an aesthetic point of view, the icons and overall design just look a bit amateurish to me.

BTW is there a good reason why I can't permanently get rid of all of the 'modern' apps? Some I can uninstall, but the others that I will never use in a million years only offer the option to pin/unpin them as a tile on the menu. I've read that they can be got rid of using powershell but that looks a bit kludgy and possibly not permanent. Also any way to remove the Onedrive entry from Explorer?

Got the 80240020 error as well, deleted the folder downloaded yesterday in the WIndows/Softwaredistribution/Download folder and ran wuauclt.exe /updatenow form command prompt as administrator. Downloading as we speak at 25%

Close all open windows/programs.
Go into your Windows folder-->Software distribution--> Download and delete everything in the download folder.
If you run CMD as admin and type "wuauclt.exe /updatenow" it will start to download again and begin installing it for you.
It might need a reboot before you run the CMD prompt but you should be ok without a reboot.

Even though there was a 2.83GB file on my C drive last night it's downloading it again for me now.

Hmm...

Think I ****ed something up.

I'd left my PC on overnight to see if that would've started off the download early, but it didn't and the message was still in my task bar, saying it'd notify me when it was ready.

I rebooted, and now a conspicuously Windows10-sized chunk of data has disappeared from my boot drive (10GB free to 17.2GB free after a reboot).
Also, the notification has disappeared.

Did you open CMD as administrator? I got some error when I just opened it the regular way.

When I did that the same error on the update window just popped up again.

Looking forward to getting this installed later on my Atom tablet and Ultrabook. I'll install the tablet first to see what the install process is like, before taking the plunge on my main system.

Hey Guys,

For those of you that have upgraded. What's the average time it takes to complete?

So people who have taken the plung, happy with it? I'm tempted to upgrade now but also considering to wait a while incase any bugs or anything with it. Does it appear to be running well and worth upgrading to straight away? I think the temptation will get the better of me anyway :P

Dont want to upgrade my desktop yet but my netbook running Win 7 isn't getting prompted at all. The notification on windows update (before I check for updates) has disappeared and now it's saying that I only have 3 optional updates.
Any idea how to force it to offer the upgrade?

Just looked in Windows Update on my main desktop and the update is marked as Failed with a 80240020 error. Went into C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download and deleted anything downloaded yesterday, and manually started wuauclt.exe as Administrator and it's downloading again.

That makes sense.
I'll just wait for it to be rolled out to my computer.
Hopefully not much longer.

Did your PC download the files? If so that's the best option since it also downloads drivers specific to your PC hardware and you'll know for definite that your win10 free upgrade has registered and activated correctly.

EoghanIRL

Yeah I definitely meet the requirements.
Is the key available on the computer or would it have came with it in the box?

FYI, I've downloaded the ISO a few times this morning from various computer/connections and it's very slow. I presume the servers are getting hammered. @EoghanIRL, it shouldn't make any difference, as long as you meet the requirements and have a valid win7/8 key.

Going quite quickly here, about 60Mbit/s.

Scrub that. Went into Windows Update manually and the option was there. Installing now on the laptop, downloading the ISO for my desktop for installation (much) later.

If I go for a clean install from the ISO, do I use the key for the Windows 7 version it's overwriting, or what?
