Hi Railwaygun,

Thank you for your information and link.  I will give it a try and let you know the results

Hi

I used the link supplied by Railwaygun and can report total success.

From start of download to the end of the installation took only 3½ hours, so I am now testing all the functions.  Thank you once again

Its installed.

Its working (hence the post).

Its already annoyed me.

Won't let me use Cortana. I am not saying that is a massive problem, but why advertise something that cannot be used? Its saying "Cortana isn't supported in the region or language you have selected"

What, UK and English?!

Confused.

[Skyline2uk]

No longer confused.

Siri told me why......

my older laptop, win 7, has been displaying the upgrade icon for some time, so after backing up the hard drive onto an external, I went ahead, and here I am.

only disappointment so far is that there did not seem to be an option to choose what parts you wanted to install, so I've got edge which I was not worried about, and that car... thing which I would definitely not have bothered loading.

so far it seems to work ok, I left it last night to download, and then installed and updated drivers etc this morning while waiting for a call from the vet with the shepherd's blood test results.

my newer laptop, win 8, steadfastly refuses to upload one update, which the eligibility checker says is not installed, but when I click on the link for it, IE stops working, every  time.

I'm just hoping that when I try to open a file on that one, which I have had opened on win 10, that it still works.

Alan,

If you really must 'upgrade' ... on your Win10 system find the relevant KB article for the update & download the patch to USB; install that way.

cheers Mike,

I'll try that.

just would prefer to run the same system on both, though not a disaster if I can't.

Installed (4 hours)

Turned everything I can off (Why the hell do I want Cortana/adverts/all sorts of monitoring etc?

Hate the new file manager.

It seems you can't turn off Windows defender permanently.

Laptop running very slow.

I'll give it a few days but not impressed.

[Sprintex]

That's all I needed to hear - definitely won't bother now!

anyone else on win 10 finding that graphics on the site are displaying in a weird way ?

piles of hatchings in certain areas, and members 'logos' also not displaying properly.

Everything appears fine for me. I installed W10 three days ago and am quite pleased. One programme seems to have disappeared  and another would not work initially, but seems okay now.

Laptop upgrade from Windows 7.

It says it is downloaded.

Click on continue. It says it will take about 10 seconds to gather information before starting...........

8 hours later...............

I give up (for the time being)

working ok today, perhaps it just needed a restart,

I was also watching you tube, so don't know if that had anything to do with it.

It seems I may have been a little hasty in my judgement. Yesterday, despite numerous reboots, my tired old laptop was doing a good impression of a slug having a lazy day.

This evening it's a Greyhound on steroids!

After installing the operating system it can take a few boots before things are back to normal, i have found this out with updating 4 computers.
