Will you be upgrading to Windows 10?

[osirisjem]

I'll probably upgrade downgrade to Windows 8 before I even go the distance to Windows 10.

I'll do it sooner, maybe a week or so. I don't like buggy OS's, there's probably still a few.

TODAY NOW!!!!
On a side note, let us know how your pirated OS reacts to the upgrade tool.

It thinks it's genuine, so they don't know it's pirated...

Or they do know but they're not telling you they know

Which is why I probably why I won't be upgrading :/

I haven't updated yet but I maybe will or probably much later. The update still isn't ready though. This is stupid xD It's almost been 25 days since the release.

You can always get the ISO and put it on a USB as well, then start the install from within Windows. It seems to be the most tried-and-true method if Windows Update won't initiate the update for you.

Legit Windows 8.1

Legit Windows 8.1

My friend:

Spoiler

Go to that path (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade)

Create that DWORD: AllowOSUpgrade

Value should be "1" in hexadecimal

Then "search for new updates" in Windows Update.

Or you can grab the media creation utility by Microsoft without having to do that.

Yeah, that didn't work for me though (with USB) xD

Edit: plus I didn't need to go out and get some DVDs to burn. Also tried with USB and it still failed lol. Wasted a lot of time until someone posted that solution on reddit

Sure but I feel too lazy for that. Also I need to figure out how to boot from USB since it's disabled by default. Kind of a hassle eventually
In fact, I don't really care about updating that much but if Microsoft does it for me conveniently I might just hit the button.
I already installed Windows 10 in VirtualBox and I've already been using it for video tutorials so I haven't missed out on much.

Installing from USB is quite easy; reboot the computer, enter the BIOS setup (usually F2 or F5, depending on the BIOS your motherboard has), then you go to the boot order, and change the primary boot method from SATA HDD to USB, typically anyways.

Ah. Your boot from USB is default disabled? Don't you have the option to choose a device to boot from using Windows? Or does the BIOS/UEFI prohibit it?
