ok - round 2

my toshiba laptop tells me i can download and install win 10
download starts just before 3am - 6am i go to bed . all installed

but not before blue screen of death on first reboot test after install
turns out it does not like esets firewall - google is your friend.........
start in safe mode and rename offending SYS file - all good - blue screen of death defeated

have to reinstall ESET Smart Security (where is my install key and password ?)

darn thing will not activate! - delete program and start again when i wake up this afternoon - success this time

where have they put windows update - search everywhere - no windows update to be found in control panel - google is your friend.......

rumour has it that control panel is for the chop in windows 10 down the track

find it in "System" - check for updates - one to install, one waiting to download - 45% - been like it all afternoon

so moral of the story - disable anti virus and firewall before installing - start upgrade and go to bed
depending on your hardware - you might be lucky

geoff

ps: i can download linux mint ISO - burn disk - and install - all in under one hour painlessly
