Please I have some questions
1. How can I use simpleserver to download the update I received?
2. For the gamers, did your games play smoothly on windows 10?
3. If you upgrade through an iso file will your files and program still remain? |

This is the third time, i'm trying to upgrade my system from windows 8.1 home single language to windows 10 using the media creation tool. The first time, the download window vanished without notice at 70%. I had to restart the download. The second time it vanished at 80% and the third at 92%. It's really frustrating. Is there anything i might be doing wrong? 1 Like |

I finally upgraded to the Windows 10 OS today after spending well over 5 hours on the venture. I guess this had to do in a way with the speed of the Internet download. I used Swift Networks despite getting the whole 5 bars. To get my upgrade from 8.1, I simply activated the "check for Windows updates" though I had gotten a notification for an upgrade from my reservation. I'm happy I chose this route because I would have ended up installing some updates to programs I couldn't get uninstalled. When the available updates showed up, I simply ticked the Windows 10 updates only and commenced the upgrade download which was a whopping 2.7GB. Download and installation was seamless as I simply followed the on-screen guides. But after the installation, I noticed the start, search and WiFi and other buttons would not work. I couldn't even locate the search lens. You can imagine how hysterical I became and immediately started looking for ways to roll back to my 8.1 jejely. To resolve this, all I did was to go through several bouts of restarting my laptop. Voila! It finally worked as I could now access the start, search and other buttons. Even the Edge finally appeared on the task bar. N.B. Make sure you update all device drivers and disable any Antivirus software before proceeding to upgrade and install.

drealstan:This happened to me too and it was really frustrating. What finally worked for me was uninstalling my antivirus (Bit Defender Total Security 2015). Apparently it was force closing the media creation tool for security reasons. Try uninstalling yours too. Good luck. |

amnps:congrats on your safe upgrade, could you help me out on how to make the reservation? i keep getting the response below each time i use the microsoft creation tool

Re: You Can Now Upgrade To Windows 10 by amnps: 7:44pm On Aug 09, 2015 |
Mykcool: I want to believe the reservation period is over as you had till July 29, 2015 to do that. But like I did, check out the "check windows update" option in the control panel and let it run to see if Windows 10 will be among the available updates for you and then you can check the box by the side and download. Once the download is done, the upgrade will start automatically. Mind you, your computer has to be running on genuine Windows 7 and 8.1 OS for you to be eligible for the upgrade to Windows 10. Otherwise, forget it. Follow the guide below which I have copied from an available on-line write up. Windows 8.1 If you want to just download the installation media for a fresh reinstall of Windows 8.1, there’s a new option from Microsoft that can allow you to download that image without even entering your product key. And if you are completely reinstalling a Windows 8.0 PC you can use this 8.1 installation media with the same key from Windows 8.0, so there’s no reason not to do so. It even comes with Update 1 integrated. Simply download the Windows Installation Media Creation Tool from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media, and then select the details about which version you want (Windows 8.1 or 8.1 Pro, etc), and then follow through the wizard to create your boot media. N.B. In downloading the media creation tool, make sure you download the correct one for the right system type for your computer i.e 32-bit or 64-bit processor. To know your system type, simply right click "This PC" on your desktop and select properties. There, you'll see whether it's a 32-bit or 64-bit system type OS. You can choose to put the boot media directly on a USB drive, or you can create an ISO for later use or to burn to a disc later. It’s as easy as that. I hope this helps. |

nonny1212: Before I did my upgrade to Windows 10, I made sure all my device drivers were up to date so as not to run into issues such as the ones you've highlighted. In any case, Google and download Driver Booster 2 to search and analyse all drivers on your computer. There and then, you can run the updates for all outdated drivers. |
