Also, while no-doubt linux is less shitty with (lack of) licenses and what not, you could avoided wasting all that time if you'd RTFM. Or even just the instructions on the upgrade page.
It should have spelled all that out on the installer splash screen. "Existing Windows x detected. To upgrade to Windows 10, please reboot into Windows x and run setup.exe from installation media"
Mine has apparently hung up at 82% of the install process. I'm not hugely surprised, the fucking computer seems to struggle to do things like shut down and restart without having to have the power button held in for five seconds at the moment. Hmm.
I'm just waiting for the usability reports to come in.
But since you lot don't seem to think that Win8 sucks shit out of a monkey's butt-crack, I think I'll have to look further afield. Win7 seems about as good as Windows has ever been TBH.

The worst thing about Windows 8 IMO is the tiles shit. 10 makes that easy to get rid of. Otherwise it all seems like a pretty bog standard de. To my surprise it kept ie 11 on board.

Didn't like 8/8.1 (well, I didn't mind it once it was set to boot to desktop and classic start menu was installed).
Only had 10 for about 10 minutes, and so far it seems pretty slick. Cortana is being a dick, tells me I need to change some settings (the LET Microsoft SPY ON ME settings), but when I click to open the settings page it opens then closes again immediately.
