Waiting for upgrade of Windows 10.

Hello

CIRCA 2010 Windows 7 D255 Aspire One user here.

A few days ago, my netbook seemed ready to receive the upgrae Windows 10, but something overnight had bad shot with one of the updates of Windows and it wouldn't even check the additional updates.

One in particular, I decided to do a factory reset, and after applying about 300 updates to Windows 7, I expect now that Windows 10 to arrive. Can someone tell me...

(a) how long should I wait for the download start. The applet installed by the Windows 7 final update confirms that I have booked my copy and must simply wait

(b) the netbook should stay connected to receive the update, or is just being in a punt by tate ok

(c) experiences good or bad on running Windows 10 on an Aspire One D255 (or similar)

Thank you

David

  • Can't wait to upgrade to windows 10

    Hello

    I am running windows 7 Home Premium, I can't wait to upgrade to Windows 10.

    I have the Windows 10 Home *. Extract ISO file of the *.esd of reserved windows file 10 upgrade from another laptop.

    My question is, if I use only *. ISO file to improve my windows my OS will remain authentic?

    Prompt response will be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Hey,.

    As you are using windows 7 Home Edition premium, you are eligible for a free upgrade to windows 10 home.

    If you upgrade to another edition of windows 10 like pro, it will ask for a product key.

    So be sure that the ISO you have is Windows at home, 10 otherwise you will end up by activation issues.

    Your operating system will remain authentic as I said, if you upgrade to windows 10 home.

    Update of a BONE with the SP is good enough. The other day I have updated Vista on my laptop to SP2. No problem. But the UPGRADE, for example Vista for Win7 is best done with a complete new installation.

    I agree with Curt that Win7 is very stable and there is no need to wait for SP1. It may be convenient common enterprise environments wait for the first service pack to be released, but for a Publisher and with stability, illustrated with Win7, I think that approach is too cautious. However, before decide you on which system you want, either wait for CS5 to be officially announced (not rumors in the graveyard) this year (according to the expectations) and make your decisions or take the plunge now and maybe you may find that your choice has now been suboptimal, but it is always the case. Waiting will give you latest, faster and less expensive options, but you lose productivity now.

  • What are my options for upgrading to Windows 2000.

    It of finally time to update my existing operating system, but do not have the time for a clean installation at the present time.  Can I switch to XP?

    Hi russman9785,

    There are five methods for installing Windows XP. Consider the following methods, and then select the appropriate method for your installation.

    • Method 1: Perform a clean installation of Windows XP
      Use this method for a clean installation of Windows XP. A new installation deletes all data from your hard disk by repartitioning and reformatting your hard disk and reinstall the operating system and programs empty (clean) hard disk.
    • Method 2: upgrade to Windows XP
      Use this method if you upgrade to Windows XP from Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition or Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional.
    • Method 3: Install Windows XP on a new hard drive
      Use this method to install Windows XP on a new hard drive. This is usually done when a new hard drive is installed on your computer.
    • Method 4: Install Windows XP to a new folder (parallel installation)
      Use this method to install Windows XP to a new folder (parallel installation) to run two operating systems, or to access, repair, or retrieve data from a damaged disc.
    • Method 5: Perform a multiple boot operation
      Use this method to install Windows XP as a separate operating system on your computer. This allows you to install several operating systems on your computer, then select the operating system you want to use every time that you start your computer.

    Inside, it has much {guid} with applications that may have trouble with the upgrade.

    Inside of one of them, I find the realtek one and a key with the name ExeFullPath witch told me the folder with the rtspstor.sys file.

    Windows, then closing, checks all open programs. If there is, it sends a request for the program to close and wait until the program closes safely, to avoid any loss of data. But, Windows is waiting for some specified
    If you are sure that none of the programs are obviously open, you can try the following steps:
