    As soon as the free upgrade stops, new Windows 10 installations wills drop off dramatically. Windows 10 numbers will be driven almost completely by new computer buys.

    That's my prediction and I'm sticking to it. *Sad

    :)

    Windows 10 won't hit 1 billion devices by mid-2018

    Will Windows 10 be avaible midnight 29 of july ?

    Here is a link form ZDNet: Microsoft: Windows 10 will be on 1 billion devices in two to three years | ZDNet,
    The 1 billion computers is what Microsoft hopes will happen in like two or three years. It wont happen on the 29th of July. Other news organizations also published the same information just do a search for "Microsoft 1 billion devices" and a lot of news
    stories come up about it.

    I personally would like to know how many Desktops and Laptops have W-10 install.
    No phones, toys or little gadgets may apply.

    My Raspberry Pi is counted as one of those devices. *Tongue When its running 10 IoT, which isn't very often if I'm honest. It would be interesting to see the spread, PC versus mobile versus IoT. I can't see IoT adding up to very much. If Microsoft would port the Mobile to run on the Pi I'd be running it on a Pi dedicated just to that. That would be a real Windows To Go device. For me it would be. Especially on a Pi Zero.

    I'm running Win 10 on my Dell Venue 9 Pro but I would not have upgraded if it had not been free.
    I currently have 1 desktop, 1 laptop, 1 tablet and Oracle VM on one of the Desktops. That totals 4 installs of Windows 10.

    1 10586.494
    3 14399 Insider Preview

    Are the Insider installs counted?

    I'm thinking yes. Those activated with digital entitlements almost certainly are counted. If the higher number the better is what your after, do the math. ;-)

    I upgrade my Alienware 18, Acer AS8950G, HP and another Acer all went well. My Acer AS 9810 got a message that Nvidia won't be making a driver for the 7600. My Surface Book came with WIndows 10 and it gets more updates then the others because it's MS and not an OEM. That laptop is 10 year old and I tried to install Mint Linux but i can't get to BIOS and the DVD won't boot or USB flash drive. I also installed it on 4 friends and didn't have any issues.

    I was also an insider on the Acer 8950 with one SSD and did the upgrade on another SSD from Windows 7.
