Windows 10

dreamers75

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.

Upgraded by running setup from the ISO inside Windows 7. Went rather quickly (thank you SSD :pac:) and booted into Windows 10. Didn't activate initially but was fine after a reboot.

so my dad received a PC hes gonna put a new HDD into it so I could give him the ISO for win10 and give it to him to install and use my product key of win8

whats newxt

Sorry, i'm lost everyone is upgrading and i don't know whats going on. Do they send you a new key or do you use an old one for windows 7?

Seamless install for me, but I can't say I notice any great difference. Looks a bit nicer, that's about it.

It's missing media related software, media player etc. They were made produce that version by the EU.

Handy enough that you can have both X86 and X64 within the one ISO. So only 2 needed, not 4 as before.

I've 4 PC's in the house to update, 2 of which are pro (both 8.1), and 2 of which are home (7 and 8.1).
If I download the Pro version using this, can it be used to upgrade a home version of 7 and 8.1, or does it strictly have to be a home ISO?

You'll need each ISO, Home and Pro.

CrowdedHouse

No problem with actual upgrade but the top of every page/window is is a horrid grey/white which I can't figure out how to change.

My one drive stuff seems to be gone AWOL too

You won't be able to use your Windows 7 or Windows 8 key. Hold off for a little while as that's what I'm doing at the moment. I'll post back when I'm done.

Basically what I've done is clean installed Windows 7, activated it using my laptop's COA and then reserved the upgrade in GWX. Now I'm doing an upgrade from the ISO.

No option, it will just upgrade and leave everything as is. I backed up beforehand just in case.

It will keep bookmarks, History, even programs on the task bar.

Pretty happy so far anyway. Very modern UI but it feels right from the get go.

I'm getting a similar message on a older laptop running 8.1 about the ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 not being supported.

Would have been better to tell me that when I initially reserved Windows 10.

It's supposed to migrate all your stuff, but i wouldn't dare update without backing up first.

I'm going to try the upgrade on my laptop using the ISO as I've nothing to lose on it anyway and have a full system image that I made last night.

Will post back once it's done.

About to enter the onion zone. My upgrade is ready! :S

Guys...can somebody answer this for me:

I ran the automatic upgrade (not a clean install) from windows 8.1...I never entered a product key at any stage, do I need my old product key to active Windows 10?

I'm very confused by this, as I can't seem to activate it.

I did that before running the command.

Does it appear in the Windows Update control panel?

EDIT: Tried it on my tablet and it started downloading but failed. Still nothing on the desktop.
