You can upgrade from ISO.

erixx · Jul 29, 2015

After work i tried this, not workng for me. Got an SafeOS error after first reboot. Back in a click to 8,1

Robert Bourgoin · Jul 29, 2015

Updated two win 8.1 reserved for win 10 systems, about a half hour.
Running just fine here.
I used the upgrade windows, not the iso creator.
Thanks

Use the ISO to upgrade your current installation; this is necessary to validate your current Windows license key. Then you have the option to wipe your drive and do a fresh install from the ISO.

OMG! Why Microsoft! Why still offer 32-bit!?! *facepalm*

So if I burn this ISO now, it won't be a catch all to install/update all versions of Windows 7/8.1/10?

I have not had notification, but that's probably because from time to time I disable updates, I won't bore you with the reasons, I hope my specs are Win 10 ready as I may just give this download a go.

Checked your specs and yeah, yer W10 ready. :cool:

So I would just have to copy down the new activation key in Win 10 and use/memorize that one instead for the clean installation?

WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ive tried this method via the upgrade now option and it wouldnt activate, i simply rolled back, only took 5 minutes.

Although the iso is still handy for backup/reinstall

You don't think this is a disservice?
If you haven't received the notification yet, it is because the WU utility has deemed your system incapable of running W10.
I'm expecting a run of stupid questions now, wondering why they have issues.

I see Your point, but MS is emailing the Link to those who had signed up for the "insider release" a month or two ago (whenever it was)...So I think it may be Moot @ this point.

as a general point...to all whom it may concern,,,,I recommend giving the switch thought to those who haven't yet...it is still a W.I.P and some stuff isn't working right still...examples would be My Logitech C-920 Webcam....My Monitors built in Card reader Array...and Some Origin games wouldn't launch either(Battlefield 3 worked just fine though)...If missing a couple programs doesnt bother you then I wouldn't worry(it seemed sound to Me aside from these Few issues)...but IF your like Me and have a child complaining that they cant play the Sims 3 You might wanna wait a bit.

and the "BOTH" option sent Me for a loop as well.

Even though I'm not upgrading at the moment, I still like being able to download the pro and home .ISO's. I actually never found clean Windows 8 iso's online and 'legitimate' Windows 7 .iso's are hard to come by since they shut down Digital River's links.

Thanks for the heads up OP.

Sad to see that the upgrade has been such a gong show. If there's one thing that seems to be missing, it's that the promised make-a-theme-from-a-wallpaper feature is not present/I can't find it. Good luck to all. I'm going to try and do a clean install now to get rid of all my old junk.

Just download that bitch directly from MS.

Reefer86 · Jul 29, 2015

Has anyone got this to activate though?

Mine said it couldnt activate, when i chose the upgrade now option.

Yes i have legit copy and key, on 8.1

FordGT90Concept · Jul 29, 2015

From FAQ:

Microsoft said:
Not all “system builder” products for Windows 7 are currently available on the site. We are working to add more, but for now, we suggest you contact Support.

If GWX didn't tell you to update, your key probably isn't in the system yet.

I'm just downloading the ISOs. I don't intend to install yet largely because GWX hasn't said I could.

Did you go off of a message telling you to upgrade?

I didn't bother to wait for it; my rig has been on every day for the past 3 weeks but it's never been idle, which is when MS downloads it to the Windows-BT folder. So I had nothing. But it showed up as a optional update in Windows Update with a big fat Windows 10 logo and so I clicked install and it began to download, then I just had to accept EULA and it began installing.

Because there are still people upgrading from 32-bit versions of 7/8. I read somewhere they said 10 would be the last version to offer 32-bit.

Ive had the logo for month or so now and im reserved etc.

No in all honesty i downloaded the above and pressed upgrade now.

The GWX logo? I've had that since the update came out.

I meant in Windows UPdate where there's usually the Windows Update logo, there was a Win 10 logo instead and the title was Upgrade to Windows 10. This was on the 28th too, so I was a little surprised.

I guess we all just gotta wait for MS to sort things out.

Wrong. Its because the update is being released in waves. You wont get the notification to download the upgrade till its time for you too. (your turn)

The notification to sign up for the upgrade went to everyone that gets the regular updates months ago.

The notification to sign up for the upgrade is different then the notification to download it/install.

newtekie1 · Jul 29, 2015

Well f you too Microsoft...

HAHAHAHAHAHAAA

that's the one of greatest things to come out of MS in recent years

gold

I'm going to be serious now though. I never had to do that. In the BT folder if I clicked on Setup, it would be like that. But I did it thru Windows Update and it downloaded, prepared all thru WU. All it did was prompt me for the EULA, then straight to reboot and install.

@newtekie1 some article said to check windows logs for the exact details of the error, since the something happened window doesn't tell you anything.

erixx · Jul 29, 2015

Really really the errors that never return you any info, not even with error codes, and having to check 3rd party sites is ridiculous in 2015....
