I have a Win 8 Pro. Do I get the free upgrade?
Searched but most mention Win7/ 8.1.

Alternatively, https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10


they will force you to upgrade with a certain "KB" can't recall exact code, before you can have it push to you.

Btw, I have downloaded classic shell. I don't know how to navigate using the win10 start menu

y navigate when you can search. i also cant navigate - but have been searching for my stuff since windows vista.

been running a clean install for a few hours, installed office 2010, afterbuner, chrome and other basic applications.

Noted a few bugs.

1. Windows update was downloading updates for my office when it suddenly decided to stop downloading. Had to restart to continue.

2. On a restart, my task bar at the bottom was a blank black. Once again had to restart.

Not game braking bugs, but considering it is just 3 hours into a clean install, I will say the OS is still buggy and it needs further fixes.

Also of note, CANDY CRUSH is included in the Windows 10 .iso file and it installs automatically.

Quite a ridiculous thing to do. nearly vomited blood. glad i spotted it and uninstalled quickly. cant imagine having candy crush on my computer

I meant I did the clean install. Then I had been playing around/installing stuff for the past 3 hours.

Not it took me 3 hours to install

Yup. ISO from the mediacreation tool. Deleted all my drives using the W10 boot cd and created new medias for all. Installed. Noted candy crush on the system.

Will installing from Media creation tool void my upgrade reservation, i.e. I need to queue up again if I want to revert to waiting for the Windows upgrade?

i do upgrade, grab key - clean install.

<1 hr for both.

as a matter of fact, clean install even faster.

Anyone is impressed by the Win10 scaling? Using 125% now and it's so much better than Win8.1 125%?

 

[bakasora]

How can I generate the Win10 product key from Win7? I tried using my Win7 key, it didn't work. I still want to keep my Win7 btw

How you get the Key arh? Using 3rd party software? I downloaded the ISO from microsoft page, click installation on other PC instead of Upgrade current PC, and then just open the ISO and selected clean install, installed under 20 mins haha

I got Candy Crush listed as owned by me but it is not installed. Clean install from the iso.
