    One group of people who may be disappointed are those with the MCE - Media Center Edition - I am not 100% sure, but I don't think they will be able to upgrade, only to perform a fresh install. Can anyone confirm this?

    They can upgrade, they'll just lose MC in the process; this has been discussed many times in the past (too lazy to find a link).

    P.S. please, stop hijacking threads!

    I have volunteered to be "on call" to help the local computer shop when Windows 10 hits. If he calls, I'll go man the phones, and help to talk folks through the upgrade.

    First, Windows 8.1 will be upgraded to Windows 10.

    I'm not sure Microsoft has told us how the ISO will be distributed, but if you have no DVD, not to worry. You can use a flash drive for the ISO. Check here for instructions: USB Flash Drive - Create to Install Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

    FWIW, nothing will work "out of the box" if one doesn't read the instructions beforehand. Microsoft is making every effort to assure that everyone will know what to do when the time comes. I'd say "User Error" will be the most prevalent bug out there.

    Mike, the download/installation won't start until you agree that it should.

    Who knows, but I'm betting on Pacific Time, when they start.

    They will be able to upgrade; Media Center will be removed. As will a couple or three other things I can't remember.

    You are dead right, Winona, but there will be many naive users who think that the little box in the notification area will be safe to use, since Microsoft says "this PC is compatible", and the upgrade will just be a click or so away.

    I was under the impression that if you 'reserved', the download would happen automatically, and that you'd be notified when it was all downloaded and ready for installation, at which point you can do tha actual installation at your convenience.

    I don't think so. . . I think you have to give that final OK before your system is actually changed. Once Windows 10 is installed, though, Windows 10 Home will be automatically updated while Windows 10 Pro will let you say "when".

    However, if you've already upgraded Windows 7/8.1 to the Preview, the final will probably be downloaded and installed automatically.

    That's what I just said - it will not install until you have given it the go ahead. The plan as it was described at the beginning of the reservation program was that the bits would silently download in the background. When they were all in, the system would then notify you and let you install right away, or at a time of your choosing. It will not install without your say-so.

    It doesn't ask you if you want to download, because you signed up to have it download ASAP. That's kind of the point of the reservation system.

    I hope I would have final say when to download files needed to upgrade my 8.1 because I want to hang on it for a while. First, I don't know if by upgrading 8.1 I would loose insider position and I mean to keep it on dual boot as long as insider program is active. Upgrading, I don't think MS would dare to push it without owner's permission. That would be just too much.
