Windows 10 was made because for people like you and Omagzee... They notice lower rate of usage in Windows 8 and 8.1, that's why dey made Win10 similar to Win7.

I know bro, just seeing people's comment about it not being compatible with their system, how batteries started having issues, installing drivers etc.... i'd rather stick with my win7, with no issues whatsoever. Unless u want to tell me that it's going to be an issue later on

Windows 10 is a mixed bag of bones.... Some meaty others dry.... Windows 7 & 8.1 still rock until I get a pc with OEM Windows 10!

There shouldn't be an issue but just know that you won't receive update anymore on Win7... In other words, Win7, Win8 and 8.1 have been discontinued... Only Win10 will be updated for necessary bugs fix..

That's a huge deal for me, not sure about U...

Modified: TBH, if you listen to what people says about their issue, you might never want to update to Win10 (u are on that path already anyway).. The OS comes completely with new updated system that you will need to fix with just updating your drivers.. A single Intel Graphic Driver fix 100% of everything for me.... But if your PC comes with Windows 7 out of the box, I won't advise updating to Win10.. Unless you are running on high end PC.

Perform the upgrade in the night cause you need very fast internet connection.

You still have the option of downloading the ISO file from Microsoft website using Internet download manager.

i have iso downloaded from Microsoft website. Upon installation, it kept showing error.

I also tried upgrading directly on the website, it will download everything completely, but Upon installation, same error message,

Go to Microsoft website and check for Windows 10 system requirement and see if your pc is compatible with Windows 10.
Airtel network not fast in your locality?

6hours to 3 hours and not even 4hours, that's too poor. Well i guess this should be fixed in subsequent Update. You should always activate your battery saver and deactivate Cortana by switching off your location and possibly other background softwares and see if there will be any improvement.

Thanks.
3 hrs 45mins now.

I'd rather buy a system later with win 10, a lot of woes are associated with the upgrade, I did it, it crashed my faithful pc and I had to downgrade back to win 8.1, it was one of the most harrowing experiences of pc ownership for me. and many others
I will heed your advice

anthonypeters:
“As we near the one year anniversary of the availability of Windows 10, we’re excited to share that Windows 10 is now running on 300 million active devices around the world” quotes Microsoft’s blog.

Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 10’s free upgrade offer will expire on July 29, 2016. After that, you’ll have to pay $119 (Over NGN 23,800) to upgrade on any computer that hasn’t already made the upgrade.
If you upgraded an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) device to Windows 10 for free, then you can still reinstall Windows 10 on it for the lifetime of the device since that license cannot be legally transferred to any other hardware. If you upgraded a retail version of Windows 7 or 8.1 to Windows 10 then after 29 July 2016 you will be unable to fully move that Windows 10 upgrade to a new device using the Windows 7 or 8.1 retail license.

Any new system operating with retail version of Windows 7 or 8.1 license that you may want to move over to windows 10 after 29 July 2016 will not be eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 10; that means you will have to purchase a Windows 10 retail license to get that system updated to the new operating system. You can still purchase an upgrade license for Windows 10, which will cost less than a full version of the OS, and then use it to upgrade your retail Windows 7 or 8.1 system at that point.

Three point summary of the whole information is:
1. The free upgrade offer ends on July 29 and will not be extended.

2. Any upgrades completed before that date will be valid for as long as the device lasts.

3. There is a possibility that Microsoft will introduce some new upgrade offers after July 29, but don’t count on it.

We believe one of Microsoft’s goal with this upgrade offer isn’t just to get its installed Windows 10 base to a billion, they also want to reduce the number of PCs running on Windows 7 in an orderly fashion before its extended support commitment ends on January 14, 2020. Some people still use the “dead” windows XP; millions of users (especially here in Nigeria) are still running windows 7 on their PCs and don’t care about a newer operating system. For this set of persons, Windows 7 is perfect, and so they can’t find a reason for new operating system upgrade.
On the other hand, the free upgrade offer never really applied to large businesses that run Windows Enterprise editions. For those customers who also have purchased Software Assurance for those volume licenses, the Windows 10 upgrade offer is, if not free, at least already paid for. The decision of whether and when to upgrade is driven by business needs, not by the cost of an upgrade license.

I don't think your information is correct. I am on Windows 8:1 and it says 'install when you get a notification after 29th July'

who cares. Windows used to control 97% of the market. Due to greed they now have only 30% and dropping. Let them keep selling over expensive software when cheaper alternatives exist

Your processor is pretty low. I will say you should give it a try and if Windows 10 does not work Well with your pc, then you should revert to Windows 7 i assume.
