They're "rolling out the free upgrade in waves and [they'll] let you know when it's ready for you."
Windows Update has been throwing errors at me every few hours since yesterday, and offered two updates that are the same or older than things I already have.
You shouldn't have to go there. You should have a search box on your quick launch bar. Just click on it. And if you have a touch mouse, it's even easier. Just swipe from right to left with 2 fingers.
heh... Cortana's a 2 finger girl
Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!

Hopefully in every hole. Well, maybe not the belly button. Anyways, that was some interesting shit, especially her vocal inflection about the blues. Dig it.

Unless specifically removed from Enterprise, try

There doesn't seem to be a user-friendly output, but I got this (in part):
I have three Windows based systems here - a tablet, laptop, and desktop. The tablet and laptop have had offers to upgrade, but the desktop not, which I think is strange.
To be fair, I'm not sure I'd bother to upgrade anyway. It's kind of a rule with OS upgrades - if your system is running great, why bring a whole new OS to the party? If it were a new system, than I'd definitely go Windows 10, but since my desktop has been problem free for some time, I won't be blindly walking into a new OS for some time (as in years).

Ah, problem free. Does that mean you killed IE on it? Windows Update doesn't download the patch that installs the Win10 offer if IE has been neutralized.
As for waiting "years," well, you've one year to get it for free, and all previous windows versions are going away, just as the ones before them.
I've got Win7, Intel Core i3.... About 4 or 5 times now it has tried to "upgrade", but fails.
I did read somewhere about making a new partition (called 'Y'), and making it something like 200 MB...?
I haven't done that... YET.
This laptop, I got back in 2012. Being that I was offered the upgrade - I'd assume my machine is up to par... I'm just not sure EXACTLY why it won't upgrade.
*obligatory graemlin*
eta: Maybe I'm not that motivated to switch over. I kinda still have plans to get a desktop computer... Something substantially more powerful than my current laptop.

No idea. Nice graphics score, though. The others you got seem to be ones that don't matter, as we all got 9.9 on them. Maybe you don't actually have a drive or RAM.
I see we all need to find something to read xml files though! I'd say Notepad++, but it's pretty ugly on this file.

I did the move from Windows 7 Pro 64-bit to Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. Decided to do that since Win 10 seems to be the system that MS is going to solely care about moving forward. The only thing I didn't like was the change to the start menu from Win 7, and the removal of the classic games and changing them to ad-banner filled malware. Thankfully, there are already ways around both of these and I got my classic start menu back with "Classic Shell", and got my games back as well with some other software that allows the executables from the Win 7 back-up to be moved and run properly. So now, my win 10 install is basically just like my Win 7, except for the fact that the text on the taskbar items is unreadable since you can't change the font from black.

Can't change it FROM black? I haven't seen it black at all yet. When I first installed, the text was white on black/dark gray. Must be an artifact of Classic Shell.

Anyone gotten the free Official Windows 10 Home yet?
