I got that same pop up window -- I closed it -- everyone I know who downloaded it had their computer crash! I can function on Windows 8.1 for a long time before I'm willing to upgrade.

I need a new computer, my Vista mother board died and I am using an old XP for now. I was waiting for 10 to come out and maybe another 6-9 months I will have money saved up and find what I want in a 10. Wish I had a 7, have heard nasty things about 8.1. Good thing I am on fixed income and patient. I figure by time I can afford a new one they should have the bugs out of 10. Will be watching to see what people think of 10.

I upgraded my Win 8 laptop and then downloaded Classic Shell to make it run more like Win 7. I was running Win 8.1 under Classic Shell also. Other than a very slow process (5 hours), I haven't had any problems. BUT on my main computer running Win 7, I'm going to wait until October. I read that there will be a large update then and some computer experts are recommending holding off until the major update is done. In the meantime I have to put up with the VERY ANNOYING Win 10 notification popup screen. I wish I could disable it.

Boy, I'm glad I'm not the only one that's had problems!!! It downloaded a week ago automatically! Talk about screwing up my computer!! It totally shut me down! I was afraid it had crashed/ruined my computer! I had to do a total restore! I have been so upset. I lost all my programs - had to reinstall from scratch! Even those have had problems reinstalling. Friday it took 7 hrs, YES, 7 hrs on the phone and computer with Microsoft in order to get things straightened out. First it was from 11:30 to 3, gave up, then decided to try again at 6:30, it was 10 til 10 when she finally got it to work!!! It's messed up my son's computer too. I really wondered if it was a scam, but all the 'info' was legit. The torment that it's caused me sure wasn't worth the 'new? version'!!! OH, best part? When I finally was able to get on chat w/Microsoft, I was #299!!! 6:30 to a little after 8 before a person ans'd!!!

I had Windows 8.1, downloaded Windows 10 and have had no problems. I will download it next week onto my husband's computer that still has Windows 7. It will be a big change for him to get used to, but, I'm sure sooner or later there will be no support for Windows 7 so we might as well get it while it is still FREE.

I reserved a copy but understand we can download later, so I think I might wait a little while.

My best advice to anyone not on 10 now .............WAIT!!! I upgraded to 10 a two wks ago today. It was fine, I liked it then my Start key would not function. Googled and found a fix, did what it said then did a restart and it worked. Yesterday my Start key wouldn't work again, restarted and all is fine. My friend on the other hand upgraded hers after hearing that I did and she's had nothing but problems. Her drop down window from doing a rt click won't stay open long enough to make a selection. She googled and found something to try which must have been a scam and it caused her computer to crash and not come back. I am loving Win 10 but think it would be very wise to have waited out the year to get my free copy.
