I'm on win 10 now, I didn't supply a key (I suppose I can do it later). And No I did not upgrade.
heres what I did, because theres some misadvice on this thread *ahem* scottarm *cough*
1. download win 10 onto your usb stick
2. boot from the USB stick, install win 10, (after about an hour) then it comes to a place where is saiz reboot in 10 seconds
3. ok so it reboots and then it tries to install itself again from the USB stick!!!! FFS, thus reboot again go into bios, change it to boot of the harddisk
4. after a few reboots(you would think MS after all these years would solve this issue) etc it should work
looks good so far, sound etc aint working, but I should be able to fix that
BTW this new beowser (edge I think its called is terrible, buggy as buggery, cant even select a tab, so limited to one open tab, font kerning is broken etc
I wouldn't do what zed did. Either do the download update or create an installation media to upgrade your PC. After the upgrade, do a clean install if you'd like, but I'd update first. Not sure how you'll get a windows 10 key if you wipe out your windows7/8 before doing the upgrade offer.
mate, I wouldnt recommend anyone to wipe out a previous installation anyways cause you'll never know if everything will go right, eg now with win 10 I have no sound (yamaha ur44 = no drivers yet) & I just started up win 10 again (and only one monitor was working, both worked the last time I started it up after I installed the nvidia drivers) Hopefully these issues are solved when I come back from holiday, because I've literally been waiting for months to start making music properly, did complete something a couple of days ago (though need to remix) http://zedzeek.com/music/yakko.mp3
also I was reading today steinberg say today dont upgrade to win10 http://www.steinberg.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=226&t=83295
note : I did notice not also the windows 10 apps are high DPI ready, I havent checked many out yet but did notice a couple of the MS system tools arent
@Grall, yes edge now seems to be working & looking much better
also after another reboot but monitors are now working

my download stuck at 49 percent. any torrent for all edition version?
People without any sound, disabling all audio enhancements fixed it for me:
- right-click the speaker in the taskbar and select Playback devices
- select the device and click Properties
- go to the Enhancements tab and check "Disable all enhancements"
Some apps were very slow/stuttery (solitaire) or simply crashed (crossy road) until the sound was fixed.
Edit: same with the Edge browser (crashed with streaming videos if there was no sound).

Yes, I know, but you still shouldn't need to fetch a separate utility ("app" in today's fecking parlance.)
AFAIK if you go the standard route, microsoft opts you in randomly amongst the millions of people standing in line to upgrade. So it might take a while until you get "activated" and ready to go. *shrug* I for one sure couldn't stand waiting, lol.
Some things I noticed myself from a desktop user's perspective is it doesn't share bookmarks with internet explorer. You have to IMPORT your own fecking bookmarks! And now if/when I change anything, I will end up with mismatches. Blahg! Also, I don't know if Apple iCloud for Windows supports Edge yet, as I use iCloud to synchronize all my bookmarks across my various devices.
Second thing is, you can't adjust Edge's window vertically from the top edge unless you point all the way off to the right edge of the window... *boggle* This is so very very weird! If you do that, the mouse pointer changes into the window-sizing version and you can even move the pointer left along the edge, until you start nearing the tab and button areas at the left side, then it will revert to a standard mouse pointer again.
Third, Edge (and maybe other windows as well, I'm not sure) can't be snapped to top and bottom edge of the desktop by sizing the window vertically towards the top edge of the screen... Instead it maximizes the entire window, like if you'd double-clicked the title bar. Maybe this behavior is deliberate, but it's not how it worked in Win7/8.x and also seems vaguely counter-intuitive, so I'm gonna bitch about it, lol.
Also, desktop background slide show function doesn't seem to work at all, or else it can't show images from more than one single specific folder, which would be wacked-up.
Yes, this is a somewhat annoying first-world problem which they should get around to re-adding soon-ish. I agree.
True. It renders MMO-Champion's bloated site noticeably quicker than IE did. Heck, my iPad was faster than IE (which is powered by my 4GHz haswell CPU... *facepalm*)
The built-in WHAT?!

I believe they are doing it for Cortana.
This is one of the reasons I'll hold off a couple of months until its clear exactly what gets send to MS and how it can be disabled.

@orangpelupa Are you sure?
I can't imagine that being legal, even with EULA fine print. Nor can I really see any legitimate purpose in doing so, which makes me question if this is really what MS is doing. I'm thinking, maybe some hacker wannabe either misinterpreted something or is deliberately spreading misinformation to make waves for himself...
Hmmm... Edge sure has a propensity for seemingly re-adjusting the size and/or position of text and possibly other elements too on this forum. I'm not entirely sure what the hell is going on, but suddenly I see something re-adjusting itself without me doing anything (other than typing.) Feels weird.

So far everything works great except no audio from my hdmi. Thanks nvidia...
Yeah I saw in the privacy settings there are new options compared to Win8. Not hard to find.
And yes Cortana is disabled by default. I haven't really looked at that because I don't know how it would be of value to me. It sounds like it's for people who can't handle doing a web search and/or want to hear Jen Taylor / Cate Archer and because MS just needed to copy Siri and Google Now to remain hip. Actually Win10 does feel more like Android now with the bottom nav bar too....
