Been downloading preparatory MS updates and W10 for half the day. I thought I was more or less at the install stage, but it's just started downloading more stuff!

depends on how fast the BB is performing across the board, as after a while of big files the bandwidth can narrow. youve started so It'll finish I guess

I'm the'greatunwashed'.
I put W10 on 4 machines in the last 24 hours, all perfect, but I always do a 'clean' install, which is without a doubt the way to do it. You can also turn off all the privacy features some folk seem to be worried about.
I still struggle to understand why people bloat out the O\S with third party so called A\V software, you really don't need it with a properly functioning W10 install. I have not had a software or hardware issue with my personal computer's for many, many years . . . what do you guys do on your machines?

Done innit!
Windows 10 seems to be working OK. It even retained all my third party software and files (I think). Altogether, with various preparatory downloads and W10 stuff, which played tricks on me (had to be a bit canny here and there), it took around 12 hours including the installation, which was a bloody sight slower than a fresh install. The Windows 7 reinstall I did yesterday on another PC took about an hour.

We shall see. I restarted it and a command prompt box came up briefly and disappeared before I could see what that was about. Restarted again a couple of times and it booted normally.

Thought I'd have a look on drive C to check what the W10 upgrade might have left behind.
Sure enough, 18.7gb of 'windows.old' folder. No mention of that being retained in the blurb they give you on W10. On PCs with smaller hard drives that amount of space could have been critical. No doubt the fact that there'd not be enough overall drive space would have been flagged prior to trying to upgrade, but I wonder how many 'upgradees' still have this file hogging space on their computers? I'll delete it once I'm sure W10 is stable and working totally to my satisfaction.

Had W10 laptop for a month now and no issues although I don't attempt anything complex. Big tower case, external speakers, keyboard etc all now banished to storage which gets rid of a lot of clutter. The old PC was so noisy, didn't realise how bad it was until I got rid. This Lenovo thing is completely silent, very quick to boot up, it seems pretty good value for £140 delivered.

Surely a lot of that 18.7GB is your own personal files, Documents etc.
