Anyway, patience is a virtue, I've been told.
This is like hearing your anal rape will be delayed a bit. Good news !
D’loaded and installed with no problems at 7 AM Eastern on the 29th.
And I’m on Comcast!
Marketing tactic?
I wonder if that’s the problem I was having last night. I have a windows 7 vm that I recently installed that normally doesn’t have internet access allowed on it, that was bugging me about activation, and it kept bitching when I tried to activate it. It seems like it was indicating the product key and version mismatched (i.e., “the key is not right for Win7 pro” or some garbage like that).
Ended up rebuilding and going through the reboot two-step today while I was working. Every once in a while I’d check to see if it was ready for the next reboot. Windows update is astoundingly primitive.
Got mine, took from 0630 to 800 Saturday. No hiccups. I won’t rant and rave about it yet, all I wanted was for it to be better than 8.1 and it is. No complaints so far.
I’m installing on an unimportant laptop as I type this.
I had no trouble downloading the .iso file earlier today.
Downloading all the personal data on your W10 machine is taking more bandwidth than anticipated.
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?
