4 x Upgrade to Windows 10 Home - Failed in my Update History :/

Tried the method to force start the download too. Anyone else got this problem?

Well do you know if there is a way to install Windows 10 then?

Thanks I'll try that tomorrow! What happens about license codes?

It's migrated, the same way as 8 -> 8.1

Anyone had any problems with losing stuff after the upgrade, so far? I read it shouldn't touch any of your files or programs. Just wondering before i go for it myself.

RE: Windows 10 + Windows 10 Phone Preview! (NEW) - Blade3562 - 2015-07-30 04:54

I'm debating myself but should I do a full factory reset on my vista machine first?

Also does it support 3 hard drives. Ever since xp I have been unable to.

I've done the upgrade yesterday, no lost data noticed yet. Just had to re-install Kaspersky, but no need to enter the serial again.

Well, it at least supports 2 HDDs and 1 SSD at the same time - so I guess it also supports 3 hard drives? Or do you by any chance mean 3TB HDDs? If so, I guess Win10 also supports those.

RE: Windows 10 + Windows 10 Phone Preview! (NEW) - Chuck - 2015-07-30 05:54

Apparently its not accepting my msdn key. It didn't say anything on its own yet, but in the detail pages is shows up as non-activated. Manually triggering the activation results in an error. Guess those keys are not upgradable. Luckily, I can just enter a new one for win10.

But that has never been a problem with Win 7 either ... well, 3tb requires GPT, which Win Xp don't support afaik

RE: Windows 10 + Windows 10 Phone Preview! (NEW) - Owl - 2015-07-30 06:08

Last time I checked, I thought for a 3TB drive you need a UEFI BIOS

RE: Windows 10 + Windows 10 Phone Preview! (NEW) - Chuck - 2015-07-30 06:15

Ah ye, you're right, at least partially. You need a GPT on the disk to allocate more than 2TB, but you only need UEFI if you wanna boot from that disk too. If it's just a secondary drive, or connected via usb then Windows brings the GPT support and can access the disk.

that's why I was kinda confused about that question, since I've never heard of such problems with win7, neither the 3 HDDs nor the 3TB HDDs
