For those on a surface make sure you go into settings and make tablet mode automatic. This means when you attach a keyboard it goes into pc mode for everything and when you remove it all programs become full screen apps, perfect for using it as a tablet.
One thing I've noticed is it chucks you straight into windows, would have been nice if it set up stuff like that and cortana for you instead of waiting for you to find it.

I'm confused by this. So I can install a game ready driver and Windows 10 won't freak out that it isn't the most up to date?

Found some good news on the forced driver situation. Although it sounds like it might not work if there is a newer update to the one you blocked, in which case you'll have to do it again.

This is the issue I had last night, tried two times. The first time I gave it 5-10 minutes and then did a hard reboot, it reverted back to W7 upon boot up. The second time I decided to let it sit overnight and went to bed hoping it just needed more time. I checked it this morning before heading to work and it reverted to W7 on it's own. When I looked at Windows Updates, it showed a failure. I think it took in the realm of 45 minutes to two hours to fail on it's own, I forget when I started the process.
What I noted is that I didn't see W10 download progression in Windows Update like people are posting pics of in here, it just brought up the upgrade window almost right away. I'm thinking that it didn't download the whole thing and that's why it gets to 75% and then doesn't know what to do. Now that it's officially out, I'm hoping I'll be able to naturally download the whole thing when I get home. Let me know if you figure out a solution!

System reset done, went without a hitch (and yes, it actually reinstalls Windows). Feels much smoother without all my old W7 crap. And holy shit, it even automatically got BT working and junk.
EDIT: All drivers seem to have been automatically installed correctly, nothing isn't working. Although I guess I'll need to install GeForce Experience and all that.

If anyone is having an issue with your Creative soundcard not working a bloke on the Creative forum fixed the drivers in his spare time, when it's going to take 3 months for Creative to officially do the same.

I've been running the upgrade for the past few hours. At first I could see the program doing it's thing just fine, so I went off to play my ps3 for a few hours. I glanced over and I find that my monitor is completely blank now, but the PC is still running.
Is this normal? I don't know if the upgrade is finished or not. But shouldn't I have visual confirmation by now?

Happened to me as well. Restart your computer then it should start working again. After I restarted I uninstalled everything Nvidia related and then installed the new driver using the fresh option.
To be honest I don't like how shallow the "something happened" is. Seems like a kick in the balls from a software engineering perspective.

Just to make sure, you don't need to open the components folder, just click it and on the right it might be there.
Otherwise I can't help you.
Go to device manager and on display adapter click scan for hardware changes then restart. That worked for me. If not check windows update and see if Windows is trying to install the new nvidia drivers.

I ran it this morning on 8.1, left for work, then remote accessed my PC about 2 hours later and it was Windows 10.

Can you upgrade from 8.1 via .iso?
I can't get the upgrade (via Windows Update or the "upgrade now" option in Microsoft's tool) to work, but I have the .iso now.

So the installation files are sitting on my HDD since morning, and the GWX app changed from "you have reserved Windows 10" to this:
Am I stuck until Microsoft's "partners" get around this? This isn't even a pre-built PC.I kinda want to try the "deleting everything inside Download folder" method, but I don't want to risk downloading everything again. Maybe it won't since it's all on Windows~BT folder already?
Edit: I did it anyway, and Windows Update is downloading it all again. Oh well, waiting a few hours is better that not knowing how long at all.

I was racing around in Forza with 0 lag. I could see some video compression but not too bad.
I have both my PC and Xbox wired into a 24 port HP Procurve switch.
I also tested it with the downstairs Xbox which is wireless and it still worked great. It is 5ghz to my nighthawk.

Just wait. There are millions of people getting downloading Windows 10, you will get it.

Well the complete process on my laptop each time it updated took like ~40 minutes... so it's not really fast (unless you have an SSD).

I'm glad i decided to jump in early, i joined the insider program a month and ago and it seems I got a smoother upgrade to W10 than a lot of people in here getting the final release version

Man this OS is a pile of shit.
All the modern apps have stopped working, music, xbox, store, settings. I've tried googling the problem as well as powershell commands but nothing has worked.
I really don't want to format.
I hate the monopoly Microsoft have, if you want decent apps and the ability to play games you have to use Windows. I can't even go back to Windows 8.1 because games will start to use DX12 in the next year or two.
