    Windows 8.1 tablet upgraded


    I have a HP Stream 7 5700na that had windows 8.1 installed. I purchased as it was cheap at the time & I thought how bad could windows 8.1 be on a tablet. Well I barely used it because I hated it. Everything was small & very sensitive trying to close tabs, open settings & other things seemed very slow also.

    Well, I took a risk & I downloaded the media creation tool from MS, selected to Upgrade & let to do its thing. It took around an hour to download & install but once done when presented after the welcome screen the windows menu was permanently open like you couldn't have the desktop on its own. I thought damn it was a failure. But to mu surprise after restarting the tablet WOW is all I can say. Its actually the tab section of the windows 10, no desktop & everything you need is clear & easy to access & whats more, its damn fast.

    Doing a bit of research & the HP Stream 7 5700na was discontinued & prices fell because of the poor performance with windows 8.1 on it but with windows 10 it zips like its on ice & its actually enjoyable to use.

    Very happy & if anyone has a windows 8.1 tablet they they want to try & suggest you do because it puts a whole new level of usability to it!

    if you have Windows 8.1 Home, then the upgrade would be to Windows 10 Home?

    Original Title:

    Windows 10 Upgrade on a Tablet

    I currently have a Tablet running Windows 10 Technical Preview, but prior to that, I was running Windows 8.1 Home. I understand Windows 10 mobile is designed specifically for phones and tablets, but from my understanding about the upgrade, if you have Windows
    8.1 Home, then the upgrade would be to Windows 10 Home. Is is possible to change the version from Home to Mobile during the Windows 10 upgrade to suit the device and potentially decrease the amount of storage required for the OS?
