Win10 on top of Win8.1?
Has anybody tried this and was satisfied with the result? Starting with
bare install is just too much work due to reinstalling all the apps. |

Win 8 on top of win 7 went ok for most. We will find out around July 29 for Win 10. You are asking too early. KenW I though it was available already, because on my Win7 laptop's Notification Area I'm getting this annoying icon that says: "Get Windows 10." So I figured that it's also available on Win8. |

KenW I though it was available already, because on my Win7 laptop's Notification Area I'm getting this annoying icon that says: "Get Windows 10." So I figured that it's also available on Win8. That icon sitting on the Task Bar is installed by KB3035583 and supported by at least 4 other compatibility released Windows Updates. It is called the Get Windows 10 app. It provides a few options. - Reserve Win10 to place your device in some MSFT cue so that bits will be downloaded incrementally to your machine when Win10 is publicly available. Once downloaded the app will provide a notice to upgrade install Windows 10. - Reserving also provides another option - it performs a system compatibility (readiness) check for devices and applications. The app updates (rechecks) by design via a scheduled task. Note: At this time no other method is available to perform a Win10 readiness check for devices and apps. Unlike earlier o/s 8.0 and 8.1 a stand-alone Upgrade Assistant is **not* available (it may never be either). Finally, just to be clear...Win10 upgrading for 'free' is available on Windows 7 Sp1 and Windows 8.1 that meet Windows 10 system requirements (it is not available for Windows 8.0, i.e. 8.0 needs to be updated to 8.1 - the update from 8.0 to 8.1 is free). -- ...winston msft mvp consumer apps |
