Noob question. Do you guys recommend a netbook with an Atom Processor and 1GB RAM to upgrade to Win 10? Originally with Win 7. Win 10 should be less resource hogging right? It's eligible for upgrade with files already downloading.. Tried upgrading the RAM but seems it is not compatible with other than the 1GB stick. sweat.gif

Just leave it to download. Last night I was at 140mb at around 1130pm. This morning already 6GB. But still no upgrade notice

you can proceed, but bear in mind that it will be a long process due to limited system resources.

Anybody successfully upgraded with the GWX/reservation method? I am still waiting for the prompt. Too lazy to download ISO since I know the files are already there. Maybe I should just sleep first.....

GWX failed. Force update using WUpdate also failed. Media creation tool failed. A post in Reddit told me to change my language locale to English US. Now the tool is downloading again. If this one also failed later I dont think I have the patience to try any more.

After playing with W10 for a while, I can conclude that, at least on my machine, it is snappier than W8.1. Quite happy now after all my problems trying to upgrade. So far I have yet to encounter any bugs. Although I did encounter a malware emergency just now trying to install some ahem apps. Luckily Malwarebytes and Kaspersky work great in W10.

Hi all,

My experience on Upgrading to Win 10.

1. Using the normal Windows Update but no luck...indicate Failed error code 80240020.

2. Tried delete the Sofware distribution folder files and command prompt to start download. Windows 10 downloading but failed again.

3. Use the Media Creation Tool and try create a USB bootable installer but can not detect my flash drive.

4. Change to Upgrade this PC and Something Happened pop out. haizzzz.

Now after reading this forum.. I will try to change the Language and see how it goes.

If it is still not working then I bring my laptop to Thunder Match and see how much they charge for the upgrading service.

Your experience is exactly the same as mine. After changing the language locale it should work. My Asus was like that. But my low end netbook failed to update. My guess is the specs is too low although GWX said that it is sufficient enough to run Win10. I guess Ill just leave it at Win7.

Same here.

Did you turn on your Anti-virus? I think can try that. Gonna try turn off my anti-virus and upgrade again tonight.

Not AV. 80240020 error is installation files corrupted or missing. And it couldn't be MS servers overloaded coz by time time I got that error I have all the files inside my C drive already

Really unfortunate a few of forumers experince the same.

Will try again tonight.

Will change language (location plus administrator), turn off anti virus if any (not sure I have it), turn off fire wall.

Will be using Media Creation Tool Upgrade this PC. For info mine is Win 7 Home 64 bit.

Thanks for sharing and good luck in upgrading.

Good luck bro. I'd say the upgrade is worth the hassle. I am loving Win 10 so far

Decided to Yolo and just update my desktop to Windows 10 as well.
There is Kaspersky and audio issue.. but it was an easy fix.

What is your issue with Kasperky? Mine is ok. I even forgot to turn it off during upgrade but everything went ok

Upgraded to Win 10 from 8.1 and activated successfully. Used it for about a week and last night decided to clean install since I had some smoothness problems. But after booting back into windows it said not activated. Although MS said this should not happen if you successfully upgraded and activated from 8.1. Any solutions guys? Forums are saying to wait for a while. Maybe the activations servers are overloaded.

After performing a clean install of Windows 10, I get activated immediately once my PC is online.

But then, I entered the Windows 10 product key during the clean install, which I extracted earlier after upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.

Should have check this forum before clean installing last night. sad.gif Dang it MS. Just as I am about to turn a new leaf and go full legit this year

You have skipped entering the Windows 10 product key during the clean install.

It is quite normal because not everyone knows how to extract the Windows 10 product key AFTER the upgrade.

Since yours is a legitimate clean install, you should wait for the activation.

Eventually you will be activated since Microsoft already knew your hardware ID during the upgrade process.

Don't worry. smile.gif

Thanks. Hopefully thats the case. Ive read online that some people waited for days but still not activated
