    I had an issue doing windows 10 from 8.1. I realised I had to un install my virus checker to get the download working. This did the trick. But it took over 12 hours to download and install. I like windows 10 better than 8.1.

    I put the virus checker back after windows 10 was in.

    put windows 10 on yesterday took 5 hours to download and install and i must say i did not like it so did the return to windows 8.1 in recovery as this only lasts for 1 month. the windows 10 without the desktop and pretty poor contrast and brightness was a disappointment and could not get the hang of no usual desktop.

    You did not like Windows 10 ?
    Come on seriously.
    And you went back to 8.1. :rotfl:
    8.1 is the most ridiculous windows after Vista.

    XP was best, then Windows 7 and now 10.
    Very light and fast.
