ok that's one way to do it lol

I think you know already now. There's a link to the Store from Settings > Update & Security > Activation

Mine shows the price to upgrade from Home to Pro as USD99.99.

Yesterday decided install Windows 10 for my home antique PC. Surprisingly it performed very well even though my antique PC only have 3GB RAM and it actually performed better than Windows 7.

Thanks for Microsoft Edge as well, this browser is very smooth in such antique PC, not like Google Chrome which is kind of lagging.

wow that cpu is more than 10 years old. not bad.

Haha! yup, very antique already. Sharp 10 years.

This processor release on year 2007. Hehe

cpu is one of the most durable hardware components in a computer if you handled it with good care.

imo ms is really committed to convert all w7 users to w10. it's even lighter if you turn off settings and background services that you don't need.

Yup, the only thing has been change is GPU, change from Nvidia 8800GT to second hand 9500GT due to existing one broken.

So far it run very well, no issue on surfing internet, do Microsoft documents and some games. for 10 years old PC, I am very satisfied with it.

nice it's actually unexpected that antique cpu can still serve well today haha

Yup. I am worried it might be too slow but never though it actually serve very well.

Also this is my first time really use the Microsoft Edge and make it default because it is very smooth in my antique PC. Google chrome certain page scrolling is jerking and first open take sometimes but the Microsoft Edge just open instant and smooth in every page scroll and load page very fast compare with Google Chrome. I never know Microsoft Edge did so well previously because I never use it one.

Just flipping to earlier pages and read some and notice quite some people facing freeze in Windows 10.

I find I am very lucky then where my current laptop or my antique PC both run perfectly fine in Windows 10 Pro and Home.

When initial release it is very buggy 2 years ago, I didn't comment anything previously cause I didn't know got such forum in Lowyat, just notice it recently, haha.

Now I find it is the best windows ever release.

My listing from Best to Worst of Windows.
Not include server version and too antique windows.

• Windows 10
• Windows 7
• Windows XP
• Windows Vista
• Windows 98
• Windows 95
• Windows 8/8.1
• Windows ME

I could not reset my windows 10. So I think I have to reinstall Windows.

I am using a Win10 that was upgraded from Win8. So I only have the Win8 prod key. I just wanted to know if I want to reinstall,
1) do I install Win8, use the prod key to activate and then upgrade?
2) Can I still upgrade for free to Win 10?
3) or can I directly download an install Win10 but use what key to activate windows?

some of us had bad experience; however they were not doing clean installs in the first place so it's kind of like expected most of the times. from my previous experience, in-place upgrades worked fine for some but definitely not all, mainly due to vast diversity of hardware, software in different systems.

haha true earliest days of w10 were adventurous; general lack of drivers; then incompatibilities in software, etc; then manufacturers / software devs caught up and closed those gaps.

no. 3. no need key. just connect the computer to internet and it will be activated automatically.

My Windows 10 Pro facing this problem

1. Not able to show any sign of wireless at bottom right
2. Unable to turn on Windows Firewall
3. My windows settings close automatic after few second

I have perform various virus scan but unable to solve the problem.
Any possibility that my hardware is not functioning or my file is corrupt?

So I've download "Feature update to Windows 10, version 1703", and the popup shows that restart is required and will consume longer time to do that. How much is the time consumed for this update? As I'm in middle of something, but I love to see what's the update all about.

which version of w10? (1511? 1607? 1703?) logged in as administrators group or user? is everything default or you have some system tweaks applied?

you can check out the feature list from here i guess, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4018124

thanks, I already restarted my laptop, now it seems to stuck at loading page for like 1 hour now after few times restart during update.

should I forced shut down or let it be till morning?

er the loading page? as in the light blue screen with update percentage progressing? your os disk is hdd?

sorry i didn't do in-place upgrade from 1607 to 1703 so i'm not sure what happened. (i did a clean install; it's like under 20 minutes with ssd)
