I started by forcing the upgrade on my HTPC (an ASRock VisionX). Went without a hitch, so that was nice.

Moved onto my Dell Venue 8 Pro and had to free up a bit of space (deleting the recovery partition) and using the binaries from a micro-SD card along with a BIOS update (as otherwise it would fail).

Next was my domain joined, BYOD (Buy Your Own Device, haha) Surface Pro 3 (running Windows 8.1 Pro rather than Enterprise), and was happy to see the upgrade work without a hitch.

Finally went onto my Dell M4700 (company work horse for labs and stuff), which had our internal Enterprise image waiting in queue. It also updated fine.

So overall, I didn't really have any issues. I'll check for further BIOS updates and drivers for the HTCP and the M4700 just in case additional stability is needed.

Was happy to tell Cortana "hey cortana, play some nine inch nails", to which she replied "and now, nine inch nails", which she began playing off the local music folder

I was tired of waiting in line so I downloaded the media creation tool and upgraded my Windows 7 laptop. Really great speed improvement. I have had a few clients bring in their computers that got hung up on the installing portion; but mine went without a hitch.

For those who don't want to wait inline go download the media creation tool: microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO

^ I don't have rights to post links yet. You know what to do.

When prompted select upgrade and keep files. Didn't lose anything and didn't have to re-install any of my programs. So much yes.

 

Isit true windows 10 is only free for a year then you have to purchase an actual key?

 

Nah, it's 1 year to claim the free upgrade. Once claimed, it's yours! no fees after a year

 

Ah right, I actually ordered a refurbished Windows 7 system today just to play about with (barely use PCs/Laptops now I have a tablet) probably wont upgrade it to W10.

 

If you upgrade to windows 10, don't forget to disable the key loggers, feedback apps, etc... With Windows 10, there's a lot of data being sent to Microsoft with the default settings, especially if you use Cortana often.

 

Yep, on my corporate laptop and home machine. So far everything works as it should, apart from the corporate login script.....

 

As Prof said, it's specific to the installed OS and can't be transferred.

 

My Surface Pro 2 and little boys Lenovo 10 upgraded without issue.

 

I am actually waiting on Surface Pro 4 with the supposedly new Skylake CPU and Win 10... Should be a great little monster!
