Sad that Microsoft is pulling the plug on W8 when W10 is still not stable yet.

My PC missed the upgrade as the process kept throwing the 0x80073B92 - 0x20009 error over the past few days.

Looks like my laptop would only enjoy it.

Thanks, I'll give it a try as other workarounds have been too inconvenient.

After several trial and errors, the installation worked.

If you have an SSD (with Windows) and a HDD, disconnect the HDD before proceeding with the installation.

Else, it would throw some error code and you'd have to re-download the whole thing again.

It could be a marketing tactic from MS, but still viable since it could further boost the number of late-minute installs.

When I purchased an SSD, I cloned the Windows 8.1 OS from HDD to it before removing the Windows folder from the HDD.

Could be the cause

Ye.

I've used W10 on my laptop, so I could just continue where I left off.

Definitely like it, as it's a combination of W7+8. Feels good to have the Start bar back compared to the tile stuffs that block the whole screen.

Both devices were using W8.1, but my laptop was upgraded to W10 more than half-a-year ago.

Haha, agreed. When I first used it (before I discovered Charms), it was a total pain to locate that thing.

Mainly due to privacy concerns. But without MS "snooping", we wouldn't have those hotfixes that address issues.
