    Can I become eligible to receive free Windows 10 upgrade?

    My PC was installed with Windows 7 Pro full licence, now windows 8.1 enterprise.

    Through a development programme, I then attained MSDN membership for a year and decided to upgrade to windows 8.1 enterprise for free. (Perhaps ultimate would have been a better choice at the time).

    Enterprise is not eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 10.

    Is there a way, a relatively painless way of becoming eligible for a Windows 10 upgrade?

    Will any of these choices work? If I succeed, will I then become eligible for the upgrade? Or have I missed the boat?

    • Downgrade my windows 8 enterprise to windows 7 pro. (have not looked into the detail)
    • Clear PC and install windows 7 pro. Timely to resetup.

    Last resort is to just buy the Windows 10 upgrade. Again, probably cannot upgrade from enterprise and would have to clear PC using windows 7 as the upgrade.

  3. What's happening to my upgrades on 2 PCs?

    Hi,

    The download speeds might be slow since many users are upgrading to Windows 10 now. If the download is very slow in your PC, then you have the option of downloading the Windows 10 ISO file and performing a upgrade. You can follow the steps suggested in this
    article:

    Note: Follow the steps suggested under the section 'If you chose to create a installation media' and not the clean installation method to be eligible for the free upgrade.

    Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Mobile

    When my phone fails to upgrade I just keep trying. One upgrade took 3 or 4 tries.
