I have it. Went pretty smooth but it didn't give me the option for a clean install even though all the websites say it can be done. Guess I'll have to search for a USB install option instead. I don't like carrying over crap from old OS.

It won't appear unless you've installed all available system updates. Run Windows Update and make sure it's updated all the way.

Oh I have the Get windows on the tray at bottom right corner and signed up month ago said everything is good to go. Every time a check it still on the TY for reserving your windows 10. Also says im good as far as compatibility. I would do the work around and install not except for talking to people at work they got the home addition when they had win 7 pro.

I still need to update to that on my PC sometime this weekend.
Is there anything I need to know before I download and install? It'll keep all my stuff and won't wipe anything will it? I'm just a little antsy because when my brother was talking to me about computers when I was young he emphasized that I DO NOT **** with the windows files. I'm on windows xp btw |

Probably I really am only concerned about my windows tablet and getting the miserable 8.1 off an see if any developers will actually convert android apps to run on 10. I wont hold my breath.
I maybe only one but I love Windows Media Center on win 7 and will hate to lose that. |

While in another thread I urged everyone to upgrade it, that was before Microsofts new privacy policy, and the outing that basically everything you send, have on the PC, or use it for can be recorded by microsoft, and used to target ads at you, given to the government, and anything else. Hell, they even store your bitlocker encryption key if you write to an encrypted drive. Sure, it benefits you if you lose it, but they can (and will, as provided in the TOS) turn it over to the government if asked.
MOST of the stuff can be turned off or blocked, but regular users wont even know they are being strip mined for info like they are a coal mine in russia. I'll wait to see if the backlash causes enough people to get pissed off that they change it, or that there is more known and better tools to protect yourself and your info. My secondary PC has been running the beta, and performance and usability has been solid. I fortunately created a local account, so m icrsofot doesnt have access to EVERYTHING on the PC, but some settings cant be turned off in the beta. While most of the data collection is being represented as benign, the TOS specifically states Microsoft can do pretty much whatever it wants with it. INCLUDING but not limited to, targeted advertisements right through your OS. Another troubling thing is that windows update in win 10 uses your PC as a bittorrent client, uploading via YOUR connection, updates to other windows users. Not only is this ****ing stupid for the end user, its a massive security hole just waiting to be exploited. It CAN be turned off, but again, most users are too naive, or not tech savvy enough to figure it out and get it off. So yes, win 10 is stealing your bandwidth by default. I could also go on about how windows will now set your network password to be automatically sent to your Facebook and other contacts, and the only way to stop it is to RENAME YOUR SSID!! with _optout.

Yeah, but this is an operating system and one you've got to pay for.
