I've got to admit, that made me double-take too when I saw it running in the processes, I thought for a moment Jim might have hijacked my computer, but then I remembered that it wasn't a limo so it should be ok. :yeah:

I still haven't gotten my free download yet, I hope I get it today.

XP still works great for me... :)

:k_rofl:

That limo story will never get old.

As long as I'm around?
I'll never let him live it down!
:har:

I may just put it in my will that I give Jim a free Limo of his choice.
:D

LOL I haven't received the free upgrade yet :)

Friend of mind got it now his PC is in dry dock under repair! Don't ask me what he did or did not all I got was a load of bleeps off him cursing Win10.

I'm holding off and will make my mind up next June before the years free upgrade goes.

Upgraded my HP laptop last night from Windows 7, so far so good. It will take some getting use to though.

I'm kind of worried, I still haven't gotten my upgrade and when I go into my updates history, there is an update called Windows 10 Home, but it says it's failed to download.

I said "ask me tomorrow". Tomorrow came and went, and is now yesterday. Today is a new tomorrow, and no, I haven't received mine yet either.

Maybe tomorrow.
:rotfl2:

You can upgrade immediately by making a Windows 10 installation disc/USB drive (here) and running it on Windows 7/8. You can theoretically make a fresh installation of Windows 10 too but it didn't like my Windows 7 serial for some reason.

I'm not terribly impressed with Windows 10 so far. I think the interface is worse than Windows 7, and it's not nearly as customizable. It's also utterly rife with Microsloth's counter-productive attempts to be user friendly, I guess, by taking away options in favour of the operating system doing whatever it wants, obstructing simple things and using confusing terminology (I still haven't out what 'apps' are supposed to be, for example). I also turned off about a dozen options relating to data collection to 'improve my experience', though it probably still does that, and there are various other fundamentally stupid features infesting it (Wi-Fi Sense is the infamous one).

That's not to say it's unusable. I haven't had any problems with program compatibility so far. Pretty much everything I tried worked (once I got things like UAC, which can no longer reliably be turned off, to stop breaking them), including a couple of semi-esoteric drivers which still haven't been properly updated. I'd be very surprised if any games which worked on Windows 7/8 would have trouble with this one. But if you don't have any interest in the new interface or any of Windows 10's new features (like DirectX 12, which still isn't being used by anything), I don't think there are any reasons to upgrade for now. Unless you're running Windows 8, that is...

Got mine. Download was slow but then I suppose everyone is trying to download it. I've installed and it seems find.

Had to reboot as my touchpad was a little iffy but all is well now.

This does not make me feel should I upgrade from my Win8.1 and that is why I holding off until next year. So far for me I'm 65% not bothering, where I stand on this next year will decide it for me.

has anyone seen the same thing I mentioned in my last post or could someone look in there OS updates history to see if you have the same thing?

Try this method to force install:

I tried that method and it still won't download, is there any other way to download?

Sorry. 1.5.

I waited until about 4:00 pm yesterday, then just ended up doing a manual upgrade. So far everything works, but a couple of things are not like in the preview version. :hmmm:

Open up your Windows Update. Once open showing any updates your computer needs(or none) look at the bottom and see if it states Window 10 confirmed but pending download(something like that). This means it has not been sent to your machine yet. If you do not see this at the bottom of the update screen click on update history and see if Windows 10 update has failed. If that does not show then the update has not been sent to your computer. If it does show in the history as a fail, right click to see the details of failure.
