PreFecT. I WILL find you.



Ok, looks like I'll benefit if I install the Acer drivers. Things like Bluetooth, card readers, etc aren't activated yet.

Tried to download 10 yesterday and it got stuck on "working on it" after clicking on the desktop icon. Went to Window's Updates and it wasn't listed. Tried again today with the same problem. Went back to Window's Update, clicked on Search for Updates and it showed up. I clicked on it and it's downloading now. It's a common problem apparently.

I had the same problem.
So I decided to do a clean install rather than an upgrade on the laptop.
Downloaded a clean ISO and made a bootable USB using rufus.
*Video Issues
Latest graphics drivers for windows 10 did not work.
Graphics drivers for windows 8 did not work.
Older graphics drivers for windows 7 finally worked!
Everything is running smoothly so far.

Other than the graphics drivers, I didn’t have to manually install any drivers.

Still holding off installing it on my tablet for now though.

Very true UT, very true! :thumb:
According to lads at 4chan, Win 10 is free because we are the product.
So don't forget to take the time to turn off all telemetry in Windows 10; they left it in on the RTM.

So the info here: https://fix10.isleaked.com/
still applies.

I finally got upgraded. I seemed to have played the same games above (getting stuck in various "loops" for a while), and at one point it looked to be doing something, then said it was aborting that and reverted back.

I just kept downloading updates, then it eventually said it was downloading Windows 10. Finished that then installed, custom setup.

Seems good.

My desktop would never set up the blue circle just kept circling & I couldn't restart even using task manager. I finally unplugged & pulled the battery. That worked. The install left about 1000 missing DLLs in my Registry though. I just updated CCleaner & it went crazy fast. I like it so far.
