So the install has still not officially appeared for me.
Question for those who haven't seen it appear yet either: did you guys have clean, non-OEM installs? I seriously wonder if that's factoring into why I cannot get it downloaded. |
People still haven't gotten theirs yet? I get the feeling this is more of an end-user thing rather than Windows, because the people I've worked with/known irl have already gotten them after 48 hours. I have a feeling there's something in your computer that's not letting the upgrade go through, so I'd rather take a good look on that.
I had a similar problem in my desktop when I was trying to upgrade from 8 to 8.1. I couldn't upgrade it directly from the Shop because of an update that failed to install. So I ended up doing a factory-reset on my whole desktop, and that actually allowed the 8.1 upgrade to go through instead of going back to 8. So maybe for those of you who are still struggling to upgrade, factory-resetting your computer could be the way to go. |
Well right now I'm using Microsoft's installation media tool to see if that can force the upgrade. Hopefully that works for me.

Apparently the Windows Update "errors" when it tries to upgrade to Windows 10 are by design - it only means that it's not its time yet. Or something. (Try searching the error code and Windows 10 upgrade.)

Microsoft has been rolling the upgrade out slowly rather than all at once. The "failed" message simply means that they haven't rolled it out to you yet - which is a really dumb way to communicate that to you since it makes you pull your hair out trying to fix a non-existent problem. Forcing the upgrade circumvents that though. |

This drives me mad. This morning windows 10 works peachy, but when I shut it down and turn it on during work it trashed me with 2 blue screens and luckily it still work. However, when I try to click a few things:
|
I used the Media Creation tool and it worked first time, on release day too. Sucks that literally two days after release I had to go away with nothing but my sister's Win8 laptop since I only have a desktop, and she won't want me to update it for her.
From the experience I had with 10 though, it was frickin' awesome. I especially love Edge. I never thought I'd be saying I found any browser I liked more than Chrome, let alone a Microsoft browser! Edge was a massively pleasant surprise and the only thing it's lacking so far is addons and plugins, which will be fixed over time I hope as users start to get involved. I'll be using Edge at least until Chrome starts working properly for me. I've seen a lot of ignorant hate towards Edge from people who think it's another IE, but it's worth a try. Even if you don't like it as much as I do, definitely give it a shot: it's NOT IE. Oh yeah, and as a matter of fact, GTA V was suddenly running better. I'm not sure why, but all the RAM leak related stuttering problems stopped as of Windows 10 for me. There was no GTA update to fix that either, so that was pleasant. Also psyched for DX12, can't wait to see how that pans out. |
Well, I finally got my update today and I have to say, it's nice, sort of a "what windows 8 should have been". Sadly, my Firefox is so full of addons and plugins I can't just really try Edge without missing a lot of my regular browsing experience so... I'll have a look regardless.
Now to try all the new shiny buttons in the start menu! |
Yeah, I was really impressed with Edge that I'm wanting to use it as my new browser (so I can get away from Chrome when I want to, ya know). But it doesn't have a standalone adblocking app. There *is* a way to do so, but it requires a change in the registry and I ain't gonna risk that crap.
Oh, and one thing I really, really, really love: click on the time & date on the lower right corner. |
After a few days trial and error, I finally got my Win 8.1 upgraded and dayum is Win 10 pretty! Lovin' the dark UI, and I'm delighted that the start menu has returned. Certainly have no regrets about upgrading from 8.1
I like the way a friend of mine phrased the differences between 8.1 and 10; "Windows 10 is like adulthood after the male adolescence of 8.1." Haha. |

Has anyone found a way to do that? |
Does anybody know if Windows 10 comes with a way to monitor data and what's using a lot of it? Because I've been finding just now that my internet speed has come to crawl compared to what it should be, and I didn't have this problem with Windows 8.1 at all.
And yes, I did disable peer updates, in case anyone was about to ask that. |

I kept forgetting to upgrade to Windows 10 up until now, but after reading these posts about the problems each member is facing, I'm starting to have second thoughts, because I don't want my Skype conversations ruined by these trivial errors.
|
Windows 10 hates me. Now, it closed Store whenever I tried to open it =/

Though, if a restart doesn't fix things up, consider rolling back to the previous update and reinstalling it - after making sure everything is in one piece! |
The restart doesn't work. Guess removing and reinstalling the update is the last choice.

I've moved on to Windows 10 again...the patient way. As in, I didn't jump the queue. The installation went much smoother this time around, and I don't have any permission errors! Yay! The only thing I have to do is to reinstall two drivers that need to be reinstalled according to my laptop's manufacturer. |
Luckily, I didn't need to reinstall any drivers with my installation of Windows 10.. then again, was it because I was "wired" to the internet? :P
|
Yeah, I keep it in mind about it. It still new and plenty of bugs going on
|
Finally downloaded Windows 10.It was good fast speed, fast browser, store etc. but the white bar in Browser really not looking decent.......it need to be changed to black again.......
|
Uh, yeah, still don't have it. Still won't boot on my comp.
I'm sticking with Windows 8.1 on my desktop and Ubuntu on my laptop. |
