Did it just skip windows 9 lmao

i got this haha i reserved it

Couldn't use Windows 9 due to old companies being lazy and having a "If Windows version begins with 9_ script" it would have resulted in a number of bugs lol. So they went straight to 10.

I got this first this this morning and reserved it forthwith

woop woop

Just done the same, for those who havent seen it

Thanks Chewy that was a handy hint :wavey:

Does anyone know what the deal is regarding re-installation? I build my own PC's so my hardware changes fairly regularly and, for that reason I have Retail Windows 8.1 rather that OEM...

If I accept the free upgrade from 8.1 to 10, does that mean I get retail 10 so can reinstall it when I change hardware? Or is it going to be locked to my current PC? And if it is... is it going to kill my 8.1 retail license?? Also, if it isn't locked to one PC, whenever I need to do a fresh wipde of the HD am I going to need to install 8.1 from the DVD and then download the upgrade all over again? Hmmmm.

So many questions and the answers don't seem to be available anywhere.

does this cover it?

You would have to own a retail copy of Windows 10 to change hardware however..

This is my concern really, or rather, that accepting the windows 10 upgrade will invalidate my 8.1 retail serial. Although, it does say that you can upgrade after a year, so I could just leave it until my next motherboard/processor upgrade (early 2016 probably) and then do it. Hardware lock is tied to the motherboard, if there is one, and I suppose I'll just have to suck up the cost of a full retail copy before I change it again.

Still hoping it's like-for-like though and I get a retail serial for 10 in exchange for retail 8.1... it would only be fair! I mean, they owe me! I actually paid MONEY for Windows 8.1. A feat I never accomplished with Windows 7. Or XP. ...or 98 :joker:. I paid for those with Pieces of Eight. Arrrr...

Did y'all get it free? They really want to distance themselves my goodness

is it still a piece of **** like windows 8 or...?

I didn't bother getting the free upgrade, my laptop broke down days ago and I'm waiting for my new PC to come, I'm not sure if I will bother then lol

Still waiting for mine :/

Right click the icon that told you about it and it gives you options

(link above)

:worry: when i right clicked it, it showed download windows 10 and show upgrade progress

haha it'll come to me eventually, thanks though!

fully 10'd up

:dance:

mine took 5 hours :sad:

i'll wait until tomorrow when i have 30mb internet because right now i have 0.69mb :umm2:

this has done something really bad to my laptop... i was on 7 before and now i've installed it i keep getting a blue screen error with the message "system_service_exception" and i think something like ks.sys? which I believe is a Skype problem? And it just says it's gathering info and has to restart, and it's an endless cycle

except it's sort-of-stopped now after last time i tried to uninstall skype but it didn't work bc it's just loaded AHHHHHHHHHHH

so if i have windows 7 i can upgrade to 10? im confused
