This happened to me as well using the "both 32 and 64 bit" pro option for USB.
The second time it worked fine and downloaded faster. First time it took an hour the second time half hour.
I never uninstalled the USB drive just started over. Something went wrong in the verify download part.

Hey Newtekie, looks like something happened on the install.

My upgrade went fine. No issues thus far. Ill post back if I hit any walls.

On a side not games "seem" to run smoother. GTAV in particular. Could just be a placebo effect or the fact its a new install.

theonedub · Jul 29, 2015

I just opted to download and make my Win10 Pro USB stick. I'll wait until I'm deemed 'ready to upgrade' before attempting installation over my 8.1 install- don't want to worry about being able to activate, etc.

P4-630 · Jul 29, 2015

I'm not sure yet what to do with this upgrade that failed activation, should I wait and would it get activated after a week or so?
Or do I need to revert back to windows 7?

So I just found out that they are starting microtransactions with Windows 10. Not happy about that. So far I have only heard about Solitaire, which I don't give a crap about, but what else is going to have a monthly fee to activate? "Clear the next 5 mines for $.99", Would you like this program to open faster? Only $1.99 a month.

It's all over the net right now. I'm trying to figure out what else they are going to inject ad into and then charge to remove.

That has been in Win8 when they introduced the App store...

It was just never done by Microsoft in the basic game programs. Personally, I hate the game Apps. I just install the good ol' games from Win7. Hopefully that still works on Win10. Not that I spend a lot of time playing the free games that come with Windows anyway.

Ok, found that my restore function is broken.... thats why i cant install any form of upgrade.....

I have win 8 and never noticed that does it actively spam you with ads? I'm on work machine right now which is win7.

Some of the Apps do. In-app purchases have been available from the beginning. It is only in App Store apps, and I tend to avoid the app store like the plague anyway.

Probably Windows 10 itself my friend..... give them time

It is Microsoft after all..... free upgrade?

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones ?

When you have a problem always check some Bob Dylan, might not get the answer but you'll get the feeling you got it.

johnspack · Jul 29, 2015

Can't believe people are actually excited about this.....

TheMailMan78 · Jul 29, 2015

Anyone tested "Edge" security yet with a test site? I already hit up EICAR and smart screen kicked in.

erocker · Jul 29, 2015

Everything surprisingly went very smoothly here. I didn't have to mess with any programs at all, other than getting rid of my old Nvidia drivers. I just got rid of the search bar to free up some space for my quick-launch icons and it almost seems like I haven't changed a thing with my O/S from what I've been using.

You don't think this is a disservice?
If you haven't received the notification yet, it is because the WU utility has deemed your system incapable of running W10.
I'm expecting a run of stupid questions now, wondering why they have issues.

Which is funny because my wife's Dell 2-in-1 is definitely capable of running 10 because it's on 8.1 right now. She doesn't have the icon despite having auto updates on. And my Win 7 machine hooked up to the TV doesn't have the icon either. Again, completely capable of running Win10.

Not everyone got the icon.

I just Upgraded my girlfriends Laptop from 8.1 to windows 10 I have to say the look is clean the games run better and there was a slight improvement to the graphics overall.

I have windows 7 and I'm downloading now... but I have to point out the install tool said my onboard graphic chip was not compatible with windows 10 the funny thing is i do not use that graphics chip as I have AMD cards.

So I'm still tossing up if i should change to windows 10 yet, because I did find this article on windows 10 and some points to take note of:
http://www.computerworld.com/article/2953307/microsoft-windows/windows-10-is-for-suckers.html

Also Avast antivirus will not work in windows 10, as windows 10 uninstalled it after the system was up and running.

manofthem · Jul 29, 2015

First pc finished down loading. Just backing up wife's stuff before continuing, just in case. She's probably going to hate it when it's done

I hope for a smooth go, going right over Win 7. Will update later.

That Edge browser is horrible, I had to go find ie fast... then install cyberfox... sheesh.

Why wouldn't we be? This is the first Windows release ive been extremely happy about since probably Vista. DirectX 12, new Xbox app(I have an Xbox One so im excited about this, streaming etc. ), complete and total integration of all devices running under one OS (I will soon have a product for everything, Xbox, Surface, Phone, and Desktop), Cortana on desktop (loved it on my phone), amongst a bunch of other things.

I dont understand how someone couldnt be excited for new OS and advancements in software. I used to only really get excited about hardware.

What's so terrible about it?

It looks like a primitive browser in osx or linux. In fact a lot of win10s interface looks really simplified. Not what I was looking for in an os. Start menu is accessible, but only if you go through a maze. Classicshell fixes that mostly. This os needs maturing before I'll ever use it as a main os.

I found this a good read I know it sounds like that they are picking on stuff but they have some good points and some basic windows 10 software advice too.
