W10 boots faster than 8.1 on mrs p6’s HP laptop.Being a new install probably helps.

We updated from W8.1 on a ...ummm 1 and a half year old HP Pavilion g7 laptop with an AMD A8 Cpu and ...16G mem IIRC.
Went very smooth. Took maybe and hour and a half.

Not a clean install. All apps and previous programs were still there.

I see no reason to switch anyway.

I replaced my Windows 7 Home Premium with an MSDN Ultimate version and waited about two days before the update notification appeared in the taskbar. Downloaded and installed on Friday night, during the unmetered period of my Exceed satellite internet. It activated right away.
Not impressed and it looks to be a bandwidth hog. Now I’m back to Windows 7, thanks to Clonezilla!

If they think that is bad, just wait until the “Update Storm” that follows close behind.

OK, this is the proverbial stupid question. I am currently running windows 8.1. How do I actually go about upgrading to Windows 10?
