W10 15 hours Black screen
I am concerned that this third attempt at downloading W10 is taking so long to reboot. After the second attempt left the screen black for 7 hours, I called Microsoft. The MS rep told me to go ahead and power on. Of course, when I did, the message appeared that Windows 8.1 was being restored.
For this current (3rd) attempt, started at 11:00pm California time last night, 8-3, the system powered off sometime during the night or early morning, but has not restarted. It is now 4:22pm on 8-4.
A friend said that her system was re-started after 40 minutes with Windows 10 installed.
My desktop is an HP Pavilion Vision using. I went to the download page to download 64-bit.
Does anyone know whether there is something going on in the background and I should leave it powered off? Or, shall I power it on and be restored? Or...?
