Microsoft Announces Windows 10
- Thread starter PGamer
- Start date
That's what I'm thinking might be the case.
yes, i didn't notice that before.
i've got everything installed, both prerequisite updates, but the icon never showed up, i'm doing the ReserveWin10.cmd in the cmd prompt, waiting for a result, thought i think i'm in a loop
The script was the only solution for my Windows 7 machine. Hope that works for you too.
i'm gonna pm what the prompt shows, let me know if thats also what you had

Hey, Windows 10 smarties. I run a lean Win7 setup on a 48GB SSD partition. Works fine (about 10-13GB to spare) since the only major programs I install to C are Adobe and Office. (All libraries/collections live on other drives, and most other apps I run are portable versions on a different drive.)
Anyway, I'd like to know how much space a typical Windows 10 install takes compared to Windows 7. About the same? More? Hopin' I can still roll with 48GB.

You need 20GB for the OS (64-bit).

If I remember right, that was just an student price offer and not a different version? The only edition excluded from the promotion is the Enterprise one, so if your computer just says Windows 7 Professional it would upgrade to Windows 10 Pro without problems.
I was having a lot of trouble getting the icon to show in my Windows 8.1 machine using several approaches, but what got it for me was this excellent batch file that someone linked to in the main Microsoft help thread. Quick-method 2 worked for me. I recommend it to anyone who can't get the icon!
Have you tried manually checking for updates by going into your active downloads and clicking the button?

I am going to give it a shot again tonight.
I was in a similar screen a couple of days ago but didn't see anything for the Xbox App.

In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.
I am on a higher version than that, but I cannot get mine to connect to my xbox one. It sees it, but fails to connect.
Yup this is the version I am on. I had to manually download it from the store. Odd that my windows phone smartglass can connect to it, but my PC cannot.
So I had the W10 popup thingy and "reserved" a copy. I didn't get any confirmation email (do you normally?) but I kept the symbol in the taskbar.
I did a fresh W8.1 install a day later because I needed to fix something and now, even with Windows Update up to date.
Have I reserved it or do I need to do something?

probably not related but apple weren't able to do this when the retail release of yosemite came out. people transitioning from the beta to the final release had to reinstall.
Sooo...if I do this Windows 7 to Windows 10 free upgrade thing, mostly everything on my PC will be in working order? I only use it for gaming, web browsing, and occasional MS Office so Im feeling like all that will be ok. Is this a mostly correct assumption?
I have a 256GB SSD OS drive alongside a 1TB HDD. As far as the install goes, Will there be any additional input needed from me? I always installed my AHCI drivers before I ever installed Windows so, since that was done already, it doesnt need to be done again before upgrading to 7, right?
WIll the upgrade detect my current 7 install and know well enough to use the SSD for everything windows?

Took about a day to get my confirmation email.

So I got the pop up in the taskbar and I clicked to upgrade. It goes through but stucks at somepoint. When I reset my computer I get the following error: WindowsUpdate_C1900101" "WindowsUpdate_dt000", when I search this online I see someone on the windows support site saying to instal from a clean boot. I dont want to do that because I dont want to lose all the important stuff I have on my computer, does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I am worried that I am never going to be able to get Windows 10 working on my computer.

Nope. Can't get the Xbox App to update to 5.5.20022 no matter what I try. Tried reinstalling it from the Store (Beta) and nothing. It isn't in the downloads and installs.
There is one greyed out app in download and installs with no icon that won't install. Maybe that's it?
I am trying to figure out a way to delete/uninstall the app manually to force some sort of fresh install but so far I have found nothing.
Edit: I'm on 10130 via the fast ring if anyone was wondering.

yep. If you buy a windows 8.1 laptop 8 months from now you still get w10 free.

If you haven't noticed anything yet, there might be a subtle modern Windows icon in the lower right notification area, next to the time and date.
My desktop's currently disconnected from the internet and when I booted up my laptop, it was already in the notification area.

Got my confirmation email almost immediately after reserving.
The reservation doesn't actually affect availability, does it?
i've got all the updates and no icon

never mind.
right clicking the windows icon and selecting "check your upgrade status" allows you to input an email.

Question to everyone here. In its current form, how is Windows 10?
I'm a Developer and kind of want to start upgrading my apps to the new Windows 10 UAP. I was planning on waiting until it officially came out but for the past few days I have been debating just throwing my machine on the Insider Program which I signed up for back in January but never actually installed.
My questions. Do we know how the upgrade process will go for individuals currently on the Insider version of 10 to the full retail version of Windows 10? I'm assuming it will be as simple as just inputting my Windows 8.1 CD Key and it will turn Genuine?
How stable is the current build? This would be going on my Main PC, and while I dont mind reformatting if stuff goes wrong and tend to actually do that every now and then just to keep the machine running optimal, are there any major problems I may run into?
How does Unity or Android Studio run, does it work?

Apparently the offer won't come up on certain copies of Windows. Like Dreamspark copies of Windows.
i have Win7 Home premium that came with my HP desktop

There will be an ISO for the full clear install. Sort of how our preview isos work now.

The key issue is still really weird sounding though, I want more concrete info on that.

So when you upgrade to Windows 10 do you have it for good or do you have to do payments and shit?
eye roll.

We (as in the rest of us) have it for good, but you specifically need to make regular monthly payments. If you're at least 2 days late on payment, everything on your hard drive gets wiped clean.

I find it very puzzling that there's still a lot of people that think the Windows 10 upgrade is a subscription.
On another topic, grabbed the build 10130 ISO and installed it on my laptop as a separate OS installation. It works extremely well after installing the missing drivers - and, well, no more audio glitches!
The previous ISO build fared much worse, so I'm glad to see that it's working again. The last one just got stuck on the "Just a moment..." screen.

Those of you having trouble getting the icon to pop up, there's some good info in this thread on answers.microsoft.com. I had to manually install the KB2952664 update and then use the script linked in that thread.
Thanks. Gonna try this.
Old joke and not funny.

The first fast solution using the Dropbox batch file did the trick on my computer.
