please what settings did u change in your wifi. being having problem connecting to wifi hotspot after the upgrade. thanks

GloryIsaac:

Its a good OS, just that you have to change lot of stuff in settings b'cos microsoft made all their apps to be the default for whatever you wish to do.... Then you've got to change some stuff in your WiFi and bluetooth settings too....

Installed it on a Lenovo 2015 model that came with a default Windows 8.1, its the 8.1 license that i used to upgrade mine. Free till July 29th..

Its worth 3.3gb of data...and before it starts downloading, it'll check if your laptop is compatible with it.. Bear in mind that it'll also replace some of your apps with its own upgraded version....

The upgrade is not for everybody..
Microsoft made that mistake and pushed the update to those who were ineligible thus making their system malfunction.

The core issue is the display driver.:Most recent nvidia and amd graphics are compatible with windows 10.
Intel HD graphics from the 3rd generation upwards are fully compatible.

For those that couldn't play games after upgrading to 10,you have to install your Windows 10 compatible display/video drivers.if your system doesn't have a compatible driver,you have no choice but to stick with a lesser Windows version

pls does it run properly on Intel core i3

Yes Check here for the minimum specs http://www.ityunit.com/2015/07/windows-10-minimum-specs-for-upgrade.html

Don't worry, we have found a way for you to be installing free even after July 29
Click here to get the working ISO and how to install without creating a Bootable USB or DVD

For those not being able to play games after installation or having WiFi issues ,

First go to device manager and update any device that is showing the yellow alert especially display drivers and network controllers
Secondly, install .Net framework 2.5 to 3.5
Finally, install DirectX 9 version (it comes with DirectX 12c but some games needs dll files from DirectX 9 to run properly.

You sure do. Maybe not now but it will only take a few days before hackers and the Anti-virus companies start coding new virus and malware programmes once they get a hang of the Windows 10 OS.

Re: Why You Need To Upgrade To Windows 10 Before 29th July by Nobody: 10:42pm On Jul 26, 2016

upgrading to win 10 might cause some malfunction depending on ur laptop. Its best to review the performance of win10 on ur specific laptop model online b4 spending 3gig plus data and abt 1hr plus downloading and installing win10 on ur system.

First go to Settings > Network and Internet > WiFi > Change advanced sharing options > Guest or Public > Turn on network discovery. Go to Private > Turn on network discovery > Turn on automatic setup of network connected devices. > Save changes.

When you put your WiFi on, and you dont see anything, go back to the WiFi in settings, it'll show there and you connect... Finite

I once upgraded to windows 10, but I had to revert that same day because all of a sudden my PC realized it cannot play the games I have.
Please do you know what might have caused it

It happened to me too. You will have to change the game compatibility to that of windows 10. It is very easy

Yes, you need to download the windows 10 OS which will be used to overwrite your present OS. It's a bit more than 3.5GB though.

I've tried it severally on my HP pavilion running 8.1 but it doesn't upgrade and I don't know why

I am sure you attempted the upgrade using the windows 10 upgrade that appears on your task bar/control panel. That one doesn't work. Download the windows 10 app advisor from their website, install it and it will do the rest for you

Bluetooth not working on mine...using HP note book

Go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth > Put it on > Then Send or Recieve files ...... To recieve, you have to first search on your phone for the laptop name ( not the normal connect automatically stuff ) ....

If that doesn't work, then update the bluetooth drivers
