Atm, Las Vegas Pacific time my Computer is downloading the W10 update and lining up in que for a slot just after midnight to begin install upgrade process. The Process began for me 4:58pm according to the time stamp.
------------------------------------------------
let us know how it goes if you wouldn't mind....
I think I'll probably wait a few months for the initial fixes and for the D/L furor to pass - I hate holiday sales and sold out concerts too
Just got home from work.
The laptop shows the download completed. I postponed the install till the morning. As it's too late right now. I'm certainly curious on what windows 10 will bring.
But my flight simulator desktop will remain on windows 7 fos at least a few months. It;s running just fine, so I don't want to mess it up.
One day without laughter, is one day without living.
One day without Flight Simming, is one day lost living.
I'm sure you're right, it's just that corporate customers with hundreds if not thousands of Win7 installs don't move to the latest the day it's released, they stick with reliable, known systems until they're ready to move. These are MS's main customers and MS better look after them with patches and updates in short order. Even MS know you look after your main customers if you want to stay in business. Just my opinion, no doubt the IT pros know more.Originally Posted by heywooood

I've upgraded my PC, and first impressions are that it's incredibly slow to start up. Anyone know how to create an clean install disk?

There's actually no prize for being first on the block to run a genuinely as yet untried OS [currently so far one forced update has crashed explorer.exe].

I work for Sainsbury's here in the UK and our store terminals (back office) still run XP Pro!!

I just cancel my reservation of windows 10 and will wait to see...
Running the Media Creation Tool at the moment to download and create a bootable USB drive.

It's slower than one of those piston driven wingthings you people fly, so this might just take a loooooong time.
If you use that it will ask you for a serial number, and my old one from Windows 7 does not work, you've got to buy a new one.

A lot of gluttons for punishment here ......
The way I understand it, when you upgrade you will get a licens key you can use with the full installer.

Seems that way.
Happy with my Win 8.1 install that is running all my FS stuff perfectly. No interest in going to Win 10 right now.
You're entitled to upgrade, right?
- Edit:
Just googled. You indeed have to upgrade first in order to get a valid W10 key. *Groan*
Installed. Running win10 Pro now. Everything working perfectly. Will do more tests.

ROTF! Lucky me I wasn't going to upgrade right now anyway I thought the update would ask before install or should I say failed install but I guess not.

I have not managed to get the Windows Updater to work, it keeps giving an error 80240020. For people with Windows update error 80240020 found this on Reddit, this is what I am trying at the moment:
What this error means is, your Windows 10 installation folder is unfinished and/or corrupted. Now, how do you fix that?
1. Go into "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" and delete everything in that folder.
2. Now, run the command prompt as an administrator. Type in "wuauclt.exe /updatenow".
3. Go to your Control Panel > Windows Update and your Windows 10 should start re-downloading from scratch, hopefully without flaws this time.

The results seem to be all over the place. Everything from "It works perfect" to someone at the A2A forums who said " The installation of Windows 10 completely wiped out FSX".
I'll wait. My windows 7 is working very well.
Ouch. I restored my Windows 7 desktop to factory condition last week, but it took me a week to finally view all of the available Windows updates. None of their fixes worked for me, finally got it done Monday night. They've got problems. I think I'll hold off for now, don't need that hassle again so soon.
This morning I installed win 10 and so far only paint shop pro x3 wont load.
Look What I Have Become!
Upgrading from 7 or 8.1? I'm wondering who's having the most problems.
I haven't turned on my desktop PC today (am on IPAD). But I thought, even though I am on the list for the upgrade, that I would be given the chance to install or NOT install the upgrade?? Sound like it is automatic. Not even liking THAT idea. NC
Just upgraded from Windows 7 Service Pack 1 to Windows 10 with minor issues (needed the latest video drivers from Nvidia and an new driver for my wireless printer). Other than that, no issues. FSX-SE works just fine for me. That said, I still have a number of programs to test and see if any of them were broken.
Expect banging, belching and an occasional manly fart as you roar down the runway at full power. (I have found that the engine can make similar noises)
on todays laptop I went from win 7 to 10
tomorrow on the big computer it too, lol win 7 to 10
then next month M$ will let me do my rt surface upgrade
heck I am happy with windows 10, and for free too, lol
