DOWNLOAD WINDOWS 10 NOW - Upgrade and ISO direct from microsoft

johnspack · Jul 29, 2015

No, actually it's a pain in the butt, all the modifications I have to do to it just to make it workable. I do of course, have 2 installs in vms that I can use perfectly, just the way I like. I just don't like spending 2 hrs configuring
an interface to make it work fast. Plus, do you know how many friggin backdoor reporting services there are in this thing? I'm just broadcasting everything I do on my computer, and the internet to MS. Gotta like that.
I make it work, but newbies have no idea.....

First pc finished down loading. Just backing up wife's stuff before continuing, just in case. She's probably going to hate it when it's done

I hope for a smooth go, going right over Win 7. Will update later.

Please let us know how it goes with windows 7 please

Only game i miss on windows is pinball back on windows NT and XP. They should have included it with all operating systems after that. I could just as easily download it and install it for myself of course but thats besides the point

Will do. It'll be a little later tonight, maybe another 2-3 hrs. I didn't realize how much my wife had on the c:, I usually keep it off that and on the data drive. Anyway, had to run out so left it backing up all her stuff, and I'll install Win10 after I get home.

This is awesome!
When I tried to upgrade from 7 to 10 with the windows update method, it killed my laptop halfway through the installation. (Black screen, no progress for hours, even after reboot)
I'll try this before wiping everything and going back to 7.

Installation went fine right over 7. Got it upgraded to 10, and everything has been fine since.

This pc has had some high risk usage so since going to 10, I've been doing some scans here and there, but that's not 10 related. As far as I can tell, it's all good. I'll post back if trouble pops its head.

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.

I guess I am one of those people. I forgot that my Dell Venue is 32-bit...

I was stalking this forum most of the day, I gathered with it being launch day the servers would be heavily burdened. I spent all day downloading ISO's for home and pro, then created 2 USB's (one with x86/x64 Home, the other Pro) I've got 5 clients eager to get the upgrades done; thankfully i convinced them to hold of a few days, let the dust settle.

With that said:

Thanks for your reply great to hear the upgrade went smoothly this gives me more confidence now to upgrade.

answer

I found a link on the official Microsoft site for direct download, helps those that are still waiting for the invitation to download from the taskbar.

Download the tool for 64bit or 32bit. Home and Pro versions, also N versions also. Upgrade or iso version for clean install, although for clean install product would be needed. (this is given after upgrade)

Options available are

Upgrade now and direct ISO File download

http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10

I have already downloaded the ISO and is fully working, below is an image of the upgrade downloading now.

That link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 will let you upgrade. Download the 18mb file and then run the .exe then pick upgrade or you can download the ISO file and burn to DVD or USB to install the OS

Thanks, I'm downloading right now but as it was posted here, if you don't go the upgrade path it will fail to activate.

yeah some people have had that problem, but it could be because so many people are/were all trying to activate at the same time and might of been a server overload on the microsoft activation side of things, But could be wrong but seems logical to me that this could of been the case.

I'm still getting error code" 0xC004C003
The activation server determined the specified product key has been blocked.

And it's giving me the following options:

Change product key
Go to store

I upgraded from genuine windows 7 home premium.

What can I do to get it activated?

The beta version everyone's been using. I'm at work and want to put it on a VM for my boss so he can decide what to do with it. Or does it work like before, you have 30 days to activate?

this search might help you https://www.google.com.au/webhp?sou...o+to+get+it+activated+windows+10+blocked+keys

From http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/why-activate-windows-10

If you upgraded to Windows 10 for free and ended up in a non-activated state, try following these steps:

Go to Start

, then select Settings > Update & security > Activation.
Select Go to Store, and check to see if a valid license is available for your device. If a license isn't available, you'll need to buy Windows from the Store.

Note
- This only applies if you haven't made changes to the hardware for your device.

or you could hack it with a crack but please note this is always risky and you don't know what's in the hack

Yeah I went to that site, why do I need to buy a key?
I won't buy a key, stupid.

I'll revert back to windows 7 then.

When I still was on windows 7, about a year ago I added 4GB extra ram which is a total of 8GB now,
is that causing the problem?

I don't think RAM, Secondary HDD or graphics card's effect windows genuine activation but if you change your motherboard or primary HDD i know you have to reactivate your copy.

How many time have you used that key as microsoft will only let you activate 5 times for that key so if you have had that key on different systems that might cancel the key. Also if you keep your key sticker on your machine some one could of taken that key and activated it already...
