Well, that was easy
Yes, I’m back. Windows 10 actually installed without a hitch. Yay!
Here we go!
That’s good to know. Um, what apps?
How nice!
That’s a relief. If this hadn’t have worked I would have been unamused.
And it’s all good in the hood
Total time to upgrade – around 1 and a half hours (including 2.6GB Windows 10 download). Yay!

There’s always the worry when it takes ages that it’s got stuck and you don’t have any OS at all!

It’s only a temporary illusion, you will soon be obsolete and looking at Windows 11.

I have a fast business-grade laptop with an SSD hard drive which I got for £400 off on Dell Outlet. Makes all the difference!

Mine took a bit less than that, about thirty minutes. Although it took about four times that long for me to realise that Windows 10 halved my battery life. Three days of fiddling with various battery saving methods later, I was back on 7 and able to work off the grid again… As they say: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! (And that’s is really the only reason for me not to migrate my last surviving Windows machine to Linux.)

A good half hour of that was downloading the 2.6 GB installer, and I spent a while during setup making sure I wasn’t sending my entire life “anonymously” to Microsoft. I haven’t tried on battery yet – guess I should give that a look. I’ve migrated my old laptop to Linux but only because it was on Vista and basically didn’t work any more 🙂

Who has one and a half hours to upgrade their computer? Tell Bill Gates to just sit back and relax without his internet for a while. I’m doing just fine on the much-hated Vista…

I went and had a shower part-way through and when I came back it was all done!
Urgh. Vista 😦 That hasn’t got a free upgrade to Windows 10 to be honest, which is why I rebuilt my flagging Vista laptop to Linux 🙂

Yeah, I found that out when Marilyn did a post on the Windows upgrade. That’s fine, I like consistency!
