Are you running it in the system32 directory, admin rights, with the /winupdate on the end?
Did you run command prompt as admin?
read my post from earlier. Don't use this stupid command prompt method that people are trying to tell you to use.

I downloaded and installed it. Couldn't connect to the internet hard wired or over wifi. Didn't even have the options in the network settings. Switched back to 8.1 and everything is working fine.

Downloading W10 via Windows Update now and ho boy, is it slow. It's been going for ten minutes and is 2% downloaded. I'm on 50MB fibreoptic broadband with Virgin Media. Guess this is to be expected? Am I OK to cancel out at this point, or should I just leave it going?

Don't actually type in the quotes, and mark sure you run your prompt in admin mode.
I'm not typing in the quotes. But now I'm unsure if I should do this Command method, if it is not safe.
When I try to install Windows 10 using the Media Installation Tool I get the message "Use the other installation disc that says 64-bit. When you insert it, Windows Setup will restart automatically.", no matter if I try to install by DVD or USB. I do of course chose the 64-bit option when I download, and have repeated the process multiple times.
I give up. :/

Curious, does anyone else have Ultramon installed or something like it? How is it if you do?
Very interesting question.
I would like to know this as well. How it works with Windows 10.

Anyone have an answer to this:
Before updating the icon said everything was compatible.
Before updating the icon said everything was compatible.
Are you launching the ISO while you are in windows? I got that error only when I tried to boot from a USB.
It worked perfectly for me when I just saved the ISO to my Desktop and and double clicked it and started the upgrade from within Windows 8.1
Ah great
If anyone wants to know how: http://winaero.com/blog/open-this-pc-instead-of-quick-access-in-windows-10-file-explorer/

very much this.
Now look at that.
My Windows 10 is activated!
(i am one of those:
"had it reserved on 8.1, clean installed 8.1 on a fresh SSD, entering an 8.1 key for install, changing it to my 8.0 key after install, waiting 24 hours for the upgrade, went on to download the ISO to force the update" people)

Chrome related issue. can't tell if W10 or Chrome. but when you use half of the screen it becomes unresponsive. can't type or click anywhere until you maximize the browser.

Is you're DPI setting over 100%, or are you getting overscan or underscan?

Is there a way to quickly clear the live tiles on the Start Menu? I never used the Start screen in Windows 8.1 and apparently ended up with a shit ton of tiles on it that migrated over to the Windows 10 Start Menu.
I'd like to clean it up a little faster than manually unpinning a ton of tiles.
I would like have a small handful of tiles there, but I need to get rid of the clutter first.

My DPI is 125% (which Windows itself recommends and is default). I just changed it to 100%, and while the legacy apps are now the correct size, everything else is too small. The only adjustments after that I could do is make the font bigger...but the icons would still remain too small.
In Windows 8.1 this wasn't an issue.
i just tried going for 125%
i can't tell if it's me being used to my rMBP or if i have a shitty screen, but Windows 10 fonts look ass on a 1080p panel. Especially when the text button you clicked does this little squeezy thing. It always looks a bit blurry.
which is a stark contrast to the otherwise straight edges, flat surfaces and 90° angles of the UI.
and that god damn highly compressed wallpaper
still, i'm happy the charms bar is gone. still not a fan of there being 2 apps for so many things (like settings)
it makes the entire OS still feel somewhat disjointed.
like, when you're in tablet mode, and you're in Settings -> Personalization -> Themes, it still pushes you into a "desktop style" app
I have my desktop to serve my power needs but unfortunately an upgrade is your only option if you want to benefit from DX12 (if your laptop is your only computer).

Any help guys? have no idea what to do, can't install this damn thing
I had the same problem on first boot after the install completed. Restarting the computer fixed it completely.
It really does. It's a huge improvement from Windows 8, but still needs some work.
Thanks!
Happening to me too, would like to know if it's a known issue
No it will upgrade your operating system leaving your applications and settings the same if you are running windows 7 and newer, or if you prefer you can do a clean install.

Is anybody else unable to sign into either the Xbox app or the Windows Store? I fixed the issue with not being able to open Edge but those two persist. Explorer also freezes every time I boot up and I have to restart it through task manager.
Is there a solution to that device limit reached thing?
Do you have scaling set to 100% and not any higher?

I hate new multimedia permonance.
Since w10 I had a lot of problems with MKV playback, even disabling Media Fundation codecs and going with external codecs.
Never had any issue with 7, 8 or 8.1
it lags on let in me to take control of time bar during first video minutes.
and if I do any click on the screen during that time it shows this way:
BDMux and BD m1080p mkv files load ok and fast but BDRip files are a pain in the ass. If I righ-click on the file even windows take some time searching properties.
Sad.

The store (and apps) won't even load for me. They close after 1 second.
Scaling is actually at 125%. Changing to 100% made the legacy apps work but suddenly the stuff that was fine (Chrome, etc) is smaller, and I got a task bar for ants. I'll check later if restarting after changing to 100% fixes Chrome/etc

Speaking on this, I have my laptop which I had wanted to reserve an update thru doing this on Windows Update, but now it refuses to trying to let me hide the upgrade.. as I don't want to upgrade this laptop till I need to for my classes in school?
can you help?
I used to use VLC, but I hadn't to use it with W7, 8 or 8.1 wmp was ok with K-Lite Codec pack. It's new native codec problem.
Even have problems with windows explorer if you right click on the file a this have nothing to do with player.
Takes some seconds to load the info, and as I said this only happens with BDRip 1080p mkv files not with BDMux or m1080p mkv files.
