This is what it's like trying to install Windows 10 for a lot of people... a bloody farce. Takes all day and all night to download (after three failed downloads, costing me valuable metered data) then hangs up on the "Preparing to install" screen.
I don't even
want Windows 10, but I've been told I should get it if I'm going to run my business online (as I plan to) because I should always have the latest and best anti virus and malware.
I wanted to install it this month while it's still free.
Belay that (to a degree, anyway)...
Shortly after the above rant, a panel popped up to begin the upgrade and, after a LONG wait (during which time I'd given up all hope) I'm finally on Windows 10, even though I still would rather not be.
My laptop is already Windows 10 so I know my way around it.
