what internet line you are using? My home streamyx 8mb might take some time to download. So i download now in office with Unifi, done in 10 mins.

Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting a new laptop soon but it comes with DOS, so if I tell the seller to install Windows 7 OEM on it, can it still be upgradable to Windows 10? Thanks.

Cause my laptop previously is Windows 7 which doesn't have the key embedded in motherboard.

Ok, so conclusion is:

1) Have an activated windows 8.1 / 7 PC
2) Upgrade using the "Get Windows 10 upgrade" icon beside the Task Bar <<---- Or use the ISO also can?
3) After upgrade, use the download ISO (put into USB / burn into DVD) to do CLEAN INSTALL which means WIPE/FORMAT the HDD
4) Skip the product key
5) Finish install and check the product activation

Is it like this?

im using unifi, i think downloaded.... but why never notice me for install it??

same here, still dont have the notification.. checked on C:, its already 6gb something

yeah me too.... its already done with 6.XX GB i think.... but still didnt receive any upgrade detail....

it's better to change all hardware, activate windows, then perform upgrade.

don't bother waiting. just download the iso from the above official links and do offline upgrade.

since now we can download iso, you can do:
1) have an activated windows 8.1 / 7 PC (connected to internet)
2) download iso and make bootable usb stick then use that to do offline upgrade (after finished, connect to internet and make sure new w10 is activated!)
3) after upgrade, do CLEAN INSTALL using the same bootable usb, which means WIPE/FORMAT the HDD
4) Skip the product key
5) Finish install and check the product activation (connected to internet)

Do you guys and girls know when Win 10 retail is coming out in the Malaysian market?

I have an activated win 8.1 but don't have the upgrade to windows 10 icon yet (i'm updating all the windows update now but god knows when the icon will appear).

Can i still use the ISO to upgrade for free or must have the icon only can upgrade even with ISO?

Thanks.

need first upgrade win 10 direct without format once activated then activated complete
then can download ISO WIN 10 then i put DVD can format SSD destroy data empty
so need to do again windows 10 install then will auto activated ???? no need type key ????

yes you can. no you don't need that icon thing.

If anyone would like to manually download Windows 10

They can head over to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

and download the tool and let it download Windows 10 update and install it

Yes, horns already confirmed.

serial key is not needed during the installation as Microsoft is not going to issue you one for those upgrading.

ohhh u tested ???
my win 8.1 pro still dont get upgrade win 10
still no there icon tray windows logo

The only thing I'm scared during the update is that my HardwareID isn't paired with my Win7 key.
Sadding to be on (almost?) legacy hardware...

yes it has been posted, thanks.

Can download ISO from MS.. no need that tray icon

Gonna try it as soon as it is released but my internet speed is terrible plus i don't have the time to wait the download to be completed. Is there any way for me to download it partially and continue the download afterwards?

use command-line wget, https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/

command: wget -c -O w10.x64.iso "http://software-download.microsoft.com/pr/Win10_English_x64.iso?t=f7639f22-d112-406d-acf0-661b4176e7b3&e=1438234269&h=c94434dda0eea54356bfdb128a16317e"

to stop, press ctrl + c. to resume, repeat the command above.
