Hi,

I am trying to upgrade my Laptop which has Windows 8.1 installed to Windows 10 but i seem to be having a few issues. My laptop has been updated with the latest patches which was done yesterday but i don't seem to have the Windows upgrade option which you see in the bottom right hand corner.

My Windows is also a genuine copy.

Any ideas?

Download the iso file and extract it and then run setup.exe to do the upgrade.

 

i did this and all upgraded ok

 

Glad it worked for you

For those of you wanting to do it via the command line you can force the upgrade by doing the following.

From an administrative command line type - wuauclt.exe /updatenow

Then open up Windows Update and it should show you downloading Windows 10 pre-reqs and then it will do the upgrade for you.

 

I've found out why I cannot upgrade to Windows 10. It's because I am running Windows 8.1 Enterprise.

 

Yeah, so cant you upgrade through work ???

Hi zxspectrum

I managed to get the ISO file in work and now i've upgraded successfully.

 

Nice. What do you think of it so far?

 

one thing to check after upgrade that i only noticed last night if you have an SSD drive is disk defrag seems to get turned back on again for it after i had disabled it for this drive

 

Thanks for sharing this, it was also turned on for my SSD. I've now tweaked the setting!
