Windows 10 ?
 

I have two computers, one has sent me the notification that I can download Windows 10, the other has no such notification on it even though it is compatible with W10. Are you able to only get one edition of 10 if you have multiple computers?

I'm afraid to download the 10 edition because I can boot up my computer, get my email, search articles but beyond that I'm totally lost as far as computer tech stuff. Has anyone downloaded the 10 update and how do you like it and why is it not offered on my other computer?

I know someone out there will have answers so I thank you ahead of time.

The updates for my 2 computers came at different times....I think it was 3-4 days before the 2nd computer received the notification!!

It's been a nightmare for me, it's like someone came in a re organized your sewing room errrrrrrrr cupboards won't close, drawers won't open.

Not convinced I will download it when it arrives!

Got the notification on my Windows 7 Toshiba laptop that the download was done for my laptop, and it was ready for install. I cleaned out all unnecessary software, used ccleaner to clean up all temp files, trash, ran a full scan of Microsft Security Essentials,etc. Ran disk defragmenter, disk cleanup, and updated windows software and continually did windows updates. Had everything my laptop needed. After 4 tries and continual updating, it would not install. It kept stopping at the driver install section, so I updated all drivers, and removed the ones no longer needed. Then I did a clean boot, and it stopped at the configure section of the install. I decided to leave the laptop with Windows 7, and once all the bugs are fixed on Windows 10, I will give away my Vista desktop PC and get one that comes with Windows 10 already installed. The upgrade worked for my sons laptop (he went right to the site and downloaded it, did not use the app), but after 14 total tries on mine, I decided I like Windows 7. It works fantastic for me.

I've read of some installing 10 from a notification that did not come from Microsoft---and they had terrible problems that sent the computer for repair. I received notification to my Win 7 Pro, that I could "register" for the download and go on the list. I made sure it came from MS. So I gave my info and waited to learn when I could upgrade (you know you can only upgrade from 7 or operating systems?)...I think it was only about 24 hrs until I got notice that I was now approved and ready for download. Again I ck'd the sender. After download, I was asked if I wanted to "install now, or wait for a more convenient time". It took several hrs to complete, tho I was only standing by while all this happened. When I was ready to shut down for the night, there was no 'power', no 'shut down', no restart, etc---so I had to force a shutdown with power button on computer. I was distraught and planned to undo the install/go back to Win 7 next morning. However, next morning, there were all the ''turn off'' options, the screen looked different. I then read that all does not work right until after the first update. Now I am pleased as punch with this new windows. I'm keeping it! I've also read that some people mistakenly think it is only a trial version--not so--it is full version and totally free--for a yr from date of release. Some understand that to mean free for a yr and then you have to pay for it. Not so. But if you don't get the free offer before it expires, then you WILL have to buy the software. Like, how often has Microsoft given us anything free??!!!

My best friend is a geek and works at Disneyland with many other geeks and so far NO ONE wants to update to 10. Let them get the bugs out of the software before you try it.

I never update when a new version first comes out. It's sort of like buying the first year of the model change on a car. They never have everything working right. I wait until they work the bugs out and see if people like it. I never did update to Vista because NO ONE I knew liked it and I got along just fine.

I've seen many people/techs say not to install it now but to wait til they get all the bugs out, maybe in about 6 months. I don't know that I want it in any case.....I'm still learning things about 7!

I'm happy with 7. I'll "upgrade" to whatever is current and already installed when I buy my next new computer.
