I was amazed. I got up at 1 a.m.--I'm old--and I turned on the computer without much hope but I was asked if I wanted to install Windows 10. Forty-five minutes later I was running. Not a single glitch. Not a single problem.
So, far I'm very happy with Windows 10 and I've returned to Chrome instead of Microsoft Edge.
I downloaded the W10 Pro ISO and did an update to my W8.1 Pro with it and took 40min from start to Logon.
So far everything is working fine. One minor glitch with my Epson V300 scanner but it does work.

Try this: Windows 10 media creation tool
Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool - Windows HelpIf you need to install or reinstall Windows 10, you can use the tools on this page to create your own installation media using either a USB flash drive or a DVD.
There are two options on the utility screen
O Upgrade this now PC
O Create installation media for another PC
See Windows 10 ISO Download - Windows 10 Forums for instructions on how to create and use the install media
Upgraded with no issues apart from activation, which is a server side issue.
Installed 10 on the HP desktop this morning via invitation. Installing on my gaming laptop now via the media creation tool as I hadn't received a notification yet and I'm too impatient. :)
You dearly hope that it is simply a MS server issue and not a "I did a Win10 upgrade without MS's permission and MS will never activate it" issue. No one knows if this is the case. Yes, a MS support person said it was their problem, but until it actually activates, it is YOUR problem. Otherwise, install your old OS, do ALL the updates to get the upgrade icon back, then wait once again for MS to properly OK your upgrade. Me, I will wait, thanks.
Installed over a Win 8.1 Pro. Had to do the fix error 80240020 thing. Now running fine, except one of my local accounts is not opening Start, Store, Action etc.
