Yes I'm on east coast. Keep hitting Check for Updates. It's 12AM EST here in NYC. It should be rollin out.

 

[Compsiox]

95%

Me right now:

 

[IcyRhythms]

Mine isn't popping up. Four minutes after 11 (12EST)

Ahhh... Central timezone here. That's probably my issue.

 

[komorebi]

Does this install automatically or can I download it now and decide when to install it?

 

[Corpekata]

Where are you guys? USA here. That command did nothing. Probably my region..

I don't have it either but if you go to Windows Update, and it didn't work, you should see the most recent time you tried to command as "failed."

 

[EternalTruth]

How long should the installation take from 8.1, on a standard HDD?

 

[maniac-kun]

I originally got the 80240020 error when attempting to install Windows 10.

1. Deleted the C:/Windows/SoftwareDistribution/Download contents.
2. Ran wuacault.exe /updatenow as an Admin
3. Opened Windows Update
4. My install is working!

Nevermind my dudes, same thing happened.

This works. Just installed Windows 10 this way.

 

[The Dear Leader]

How long should the installation take from 8.1, on a standard HDD?

I think someone said 20 minutes or so. Can't remember were it was posted.

 

[notoriousKTR]

ISOs are out on MSDN. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/downloads/hh442898.aspx

 

[Marceles]

I'll wait until midnight to go crazy about the upgrade, really excited for it

 

[Mr. RPG]

I guess I'm not a part of the first wave. That's strange considering I reserved my copy the very first day.

 

[robotrock]

Damn fuck I'm on the east coast and I've just been getting the shaft constantly this week shit man wow cut me some slack

Couldn't get in the Street Fighter beta at all, now I can't get my free copy of the new Windows OS

 

[M.D]

Hmm, I tried to install 4 times with the reddit method and still got errors every time

Anyone knows where are the download files located? I deleted all the stuff from C:/Windows/SoftwareDistribution/Download contents but still missing about 6 gigs from my drive

 

[IcyRhythms]

Only 5.5GB. Not bad

 

[dopemethodz]

trying with this now..chose the upgrade option in the tool exe

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

 

[Compsiox]

Only 5.5GB. Not bad

Yeah it used to say 3.9 or something. People should delete their download contents.

 

[Korezo]

can I go back to windows 7 easy if i updrade to 10?

 

[soxxx]

East Coast guy here:

1) Restart Computer
2) Click that little windows logo in the bottom right
3) Upgrade.

 

[Love Deterrence]

Had every update, never got a notification for reservation so

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Does this install automatically or can I download it now and decide when to install it?

It won't install automatically. You'll have to initiate it yourself.

omg just be patient xD

not rolled out here in the netherlands

 

[Mr. RPG]

If you aren't getting the notification by now, then you aren't in the first wave to get Windows 10.

 

[Kyolux]

Anything special to do except being in your admin account to run a cmd as admin?

 

[knitoe]

Finally, updated. Messing around and notice the weather app doesn't work.

 

[x3sphere]

Just started downloading for me. Nearly maxing out my connection (~80mbit), will have it soon

 

[komorebi]

It won't install automatically. You'll have to initiate it yourself.

Cheers.

 

[Eyothrie]

Up for me!! (Central US)

Gave it a try, i'm dying of laughter.

Something happened. lol.

 

[Hidden One]

Gave it a try, i'm dying of laughter.

Something happened. lol.

Obviously Windows 11.

 

[OldGangWarily]

Anybody try/gotten Xbox One streaming to work??

 

[StillEdge]

Gave it a try, i'm dying of laughter.

Something happened. lol.

I wish instead of close it just said "something happened"

 

[Compsiox]

Anybody try/gotten Xbox One streaming to work??

Yep it's really good. You just need Ethernet cables n good internet speeds

 

[The Dear Leader]

Yep it's really good. You just need Ethernet cables n good internet speeds

Well that's needed for just about any streaming service to be really good lol.

 

[zoobzone]

How am I going to get the key to install Windows 10 if I opt for the Media Tool method?

 

[Doofcake]

Yep it's really good. You just need Ethernet cables n good internet speeds

Internet speed doesn't matter, LAN speed does. As long as you've got a good router and a good network card (which I'm pretty damn sure everyone does), the stream should be flawless.

 

[Lupin the Third]

Inquiring minds like mine want to know

 

[Compsiox]

Well that's needed for just about any streaming service to be really good lol.

My point is I had zero issues

 

[Matrix XII]

Haven't got my update notification yet.

*Sad panda*

 

[JimPanzer]

After I downloaded the files can I choose between clean install and update? Wanted to make a clean install anyway.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

How am I going to get the key to install Windows 10 if I opt for the Media Tool method?

You use your Windows 8.1 or 7 key to do it. If you can't find it there's a program around the net that will find it for you. I don't know the name of it myself but somebody around here should.

 

[komorebi]

How am I going to get the key to install Windows 10 if I opt for the Media Tool method?

I think its your current Win7 or Win8 key? I'm making a bootable USB also for when I'm ready to install it. So far so good, no "something happened"s yet.

edit: beaten

 

[Aumann]

I am a FFXI player and have a question: Are any FFXI players with the W10 preview able to report whether or not there are any issues between W10 and FFXI? Is it safe to install the update while keeping FFXI stable?

 

[Taco_Human]

I restarted my PC and the video drivers fixed themselves. I set up cortana, I'm really liking it so far. Can't wait to toy with it more these next few months.

 

[BleedOrange]

Gave it a try, i'm dying of laughter.

Something happened. lol.

My God,

If the button just said 'Something happened' I would possibly die from laughter. This is great.

What about windows 8 keys? not 8.1

 

[TharpDaddy]

What about windows 8 keys? not 8.1

Would work. Windows 8 keys upgrade to Windows 8.1.

 

[Mister Negative]

My windows BT folder or whatever has been stuck on 4.80 GB basically all day. Should I try the reddit trick, or just wait it out?

 

[Ogawa-san]

trying with this now..chose the upgrade option in the tool exe

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

The option to keep my apps after the installation was greyed out, so I rather wait for the regular update instead.
