Windows 10: Don't see the upgrade? Try this...worked for me!

if you already had a previous version of the windows
(technical preview build 9926)
do you still have to wait for the windows icon to pop up or do you have to do something different ?
please help thanks

 

No previous version of win 10 has been installed, ever. After I enter the instruction in dos prompt; I hit enter, then close it. I open windows update and the update had began to download. It was during installation I got a failure and something that said 'Win 10 needs your attention' - whatever that is, as it wasn't installed how can it require my attention??

 

did you run the compatibility check to see if you have incompatible apps? We've run into Office 2010 Starter and Office Click to Run as apps that are incompatible today, after removing them, all was well.

 

All this did was delete 10 important windows updates. Did I do something wrong????????

 

Was your Windows 10 activated? I tried it earlier today and activation failed.

 

USA getting it 1st
other countries on a waiting list

give up for today elbmek etc
you'll just mess up your PC
it can't be forced

 

I finally got Win10 installed (upgraded from 7 Pro).
The upgrade files downloaded yesterday.
I waited but no upgrade happened.
Then today I checked my Windows Update log and found that the upgrade had failed with the error code 80240020.
I went to the Microsoft site to download the Upgrade Tool.
I downloaded it and ran it and selected "upgrade" not "create an ISO".
I did NOT delete the contents of the Download folder as some have suggested, I just let it run.
It took about one hour on an AMD Phenom II X945 and 8GB Memory.

Don't know why it failed this morning on the automatic upgrade.

 

Darn yanks, get everything first, even rubbish presidents !!! *Devil

 

see they're letting you have it via waist size
and our puckered lil white limey butts
just can't compete against super-sized fat asses

selah

 

yes, got a green light from MS

 

Trying again Mr P on laptop - did the dos command as per you post, this time it worked WITH the space - weird!! Last night it wouldn't work with it. I made sure there were no outstanding updates before this attempt. Clear.

 

Failed again. "Before proceeding with Win 10 upgrade, something needs your attention" - click on check your pc and it takes me to windows update. But there are no updates to install.

 

as they say in yorkshire

" I got nowt, an they giyya nowt "

days away from being offered an upgrade

 

Anyone know the MS release schedule, still waiting, insider in UK.

 

did you try the media creation tool to see if it works in your part of the world ,it may only work in north America I'm not sure .
