Windows 10: The Win10 upgrade thread - How many PC's are you updating today?

I updated my desktop computer (under system specs) from 8.1 and everything works like a charm, even olde games. I love it.

I tried on my netbook (ATOM N455, 2GB DDR3, 300GB HD), and everything works, all drivers detected automatically, metro apps working, but it performs awful, using 20% CPU to simply move the mouse, all animations lag a lot, takes seconds to open and draw a window, and the generic SATA driver constantly throws timeout errors with micro-freezes (Intel RST doesn't install on 10). Reverted back to 7.
My father's laptop is an ancient one that doesn't support newer than Vista (it has XP).

 

There is no need to force anything, just use the update tool - Windows 10 - Upgrade Installation - Windows 10 Forums

 

I don't know if there's a need or not but in my system that method did not work. WIN 7 Update just gave me an error and that's it. Now I am trying the new update tool. It is still downloading (again). I hope it will work this time...

 

@z3r010 I just wanted to see if this method would work to receive the update directly through WU immediately instead of waiting but also to validate it.

I am happy to report the upgrade from 8.1 to 10 was successful & now I will use the "media creation tool" to create USB installation media for a clean install later.

 

Yeah, so my upgrade from 10240 went smoothly. Haven't noticed any instabilities or other issues. Everything seems the same as it was.

The upgrade used about 13GB of additional space to complete, before a manual clean-up, so take that into account if you're doing it on a small partition.

The system is activated and version number is the same: 10240.





I originally started off, a couple of weeks ago, from a clean install of 10162, upgraded to 10240 then to this release.

I'll wait until I know what's what before doing a clean install on this and my other systems.

 

Upgrading now...

 

Well.. just my only one John.. but this is fun so far.

Good luck to all.

Three computers, no updates forthcoming, so thanks to your above posting have successfully updated one.

 

0 PC's.

Not today.
I have 2 in house that I plan to upgrade at some point later in August after the dust settles.

I already have a 3rd test monkey PC with latest Win10 build preview on it which is enough to salve my thirst to
play with new things.
I game a lot and Windows 7 is doing that fine so am going to wait to make sure the games I play will not have issues.
Plus, from my tests on my 3rd Test box with Win 10 on it the latest FORCED Nvidia drivers perform worse
than the last official drivers from NVIDIA website from last month. That is on a GTX970. Lower scores on PCMARK
graphics bench with those forced drivers from MS.
Also, waiting to make sure I can block unwanted FORCED driver push from MS. Stupid design by them.
In my experience over the decades, getting latest drivers for specific hardware can result in grief.
I don't need that forced on me.
So, I wait.

 

As many of the three at home that MS will let me.

 

reinstalled win 10 x64 again on my little Samsung netbook, I will let it settle (currently 100 CPU and 100 Disk), then update, install some Samsung software to make the fn keys work, remove some useless metro apps, defrag, ccleaner, reinstall everything again and check some netbook articles. Hopefully it was it settling down that made it awfully slow as stated in my prev msg *Biggrin.

 

Just finished upgrade from 8.1 to 10 and no issues... well with the exception of activation.. server issues it seems.
