    You checked the hidden folders in your C: drive? I didn't get a confirmation to upgrade but I did have the files ready to go in that hidden folder (C:\$windows.~BT). I just ran this tool (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...d=ms_wol_win10) and the thing took off installing itself. I didn't even have to create a DVD or USB boot disk which I assumed was the purpose of this tool.

    One of my Windows 7 boxes is already asking me to "pre-register" for a copy...
    Both my Win 7 tower and Win 8.1 laptops has been pestering me.

    I hate this 8.1 so much, after I finish here, I'm d/l-ing Win-X.

    Check my post 28 in this thread and check if you have that hidden folder with about 5.8 GB of downloaded files. You can force update your computer using that tool I linked in the post without needing confirmation from Microsoft.

    "Finalized" is a strong word... just had to fix one of our apps that broke in Windows 10...

    First, the installation, I'm glad I picked "Custom" for the settings on the installer. Holy , the "Express" (recommended) settings are basically every phone home/spy option turned on.

    Then, I look why part of our app wasn't working, and it turns out it's because Microsoft finally implemented Bonjour/ZeroConf themselves. I'm thinking, good , I can just use their and I'm good to go.

    I look up their API to use what they implemented and find this:

    Note
    In this release, the Windows.Networking.ServiceDiscovery.Dnssd namespace is only supported for JavaScript programmers. Attempting to use the API from other languages will compile, but fail at run time. This issue will be corrected in a future release.
    Well, , my app is written in C#, there's no way in I'm going to re-write the whole thing in Javascript. So I go ahead and use the API anyways, and holy crap no wonder they don't want you to use it. It kinda, sorta wants to work. It's just buggy as (you can register services, but cannot deregister them when the app quits, which is a big ing issue). Sometimes the API won't work at all, and you have to call a function 3-4 times, and suddenly it kicks in.

    I can't use my older code, which did the same thing but actually worked perfectly fine, because they're blocking the port with this giant turd.

    I can't understand how this s get away with releasing this kind of . If we put out a product like this out the door, we would lose customers left and right. It's just ridiculous.

    Do you need Pro to be able to turn that off on install?

    it's not *us* moving to Windows 10, it's customers upgrading and finding out Windows 10 broke certain programs, then writing to let us know. They paid for the program, they expect a fix.

    We still release a Windows 8.1 version and a Windows 8 version too.

    I've no idea. I was upgrading from a Windows 8.1 ultimate license.

    I turned off Cortana, now I hit the search bar and it's full of "what's happening now" web content from msn.com...

    I'm sticking with Wndows 7 and Windows 8 on our other boxes, tbh...

    LOL...

    By all means, rant some more. I hate Microsoft for the way they have a stranglehold on software, and put out bad products because there is no one else to turn to.

    I recently bought a win 8.1 laptop and I hate the OS. Since it isn't for serious work, it didn't matter. It's a MSI gaming laptop with the GTX950M. I still have my win XP desktop and win 7 tower. I only bought the 8.1 because I knew the win 10 was coming out, and decided to take a gamble that is was as good as advertised. I have a coworker who has be using win 10 as a beta tester and he likes it.

    Anyway, he said it was available the 29th I think. Well, when went to d/l it, Microsoft said no till 8/1/15. It's 8/2/15, and I still can't get it. I guess I am on some waiting list, probably due to the volume of request they have. They say I will be notified when I can have it.

    I upgraded a notebook from 8.1 to 10, which I think is an upgrade over that OS.

    My Windows 7 PC, I'm leaving as is. 7 is pretty solid, IMO.

    We get our (limited amount of) licenses from MSDN. Wouldn't upgrading your current OS (7 or 8.1) to a Pro/Ultimate license be cheaper?

    There's some positives, like being able to turn off tablet mode and actually have a reasonable start menu. But it's not really much different from Windows 8.1...

    You can upgrade to Windows 10 immediately by running the Media Creation Tool. Here are the instructions:

    http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/07/...dows-10-update

    or

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...n-tool-install

    That's how I upgraded ours...
