Mercifully I still have access to media player and photo viewer from win 7 , I really don't like the new win10 versions.
Is this because I installed over the top of win 7 or are they available if...

hmm , maybe retail versions were prioritised over pre-installed versions.

Is it only for retail versions of windows? I thought MS wanted to get everybody upgraded as long as their version of windows was valid, are oem versions not included in the free upgrade?

But what was the point of downloading the ISO file if its just going to download a load of stuff anyway.
why not install the basics first from the disk then get updates from the net as the win7...

My installation is stuck on "Checking for updates 12% !!!!"
I think its been like it for while. Will it get past this or has it crashed?
I thought the whole point of downloading the ISO file was...

Ok great thanks, so just to double check re: "You need to upgrade within the Windows 7 OS to get the free activation."
This mean run the win10 install from the disk from after I have booted into...
