Windows 10 download display shows starting download - not downloading
Hello All,
Please excuse my lack of Computing terminology when writing this - I am a complete novice in the use of a Computer having been entirely `self taught` on just the basics.
I clicked onto the `Get Windows 10` button on the Windows 10 upgrade onscreen display [the display that has the Time counting down to the expiry of the free Windows 10 upgrade offer] - a different onscreen display box appeared with the message `Starting download..... Once download is complete, you can start the upgrade, or schedule it for later`.
An Hour later there was no download amount that I would associate with the Windows 10 upgrade download.
My download amount in that period was just 14MB which I associate with my looking at Emails and a small update on my AVG Anti Virus Software.
I waited about another Hour before posting this as I had something else to attend to - now as I am about to submit this message the Windows 10 Download was supposed to start downloading almost 2 Hours ago - still no indication of a large download beginning.
I have a Download Meter on my Computer which I know to be really accurate but even if it was not I was expecting a `Massive` download when upgrading to Windows 10.
I am guessing that I will be advised to Close the Windows 10 download onscreen display box and try clicking onto `Get Windows 10` again but I wanted to check whether there might be a fairly long `Pre-download` process that is carried out prior to the actual download commencing and I did not want to mess up the `Start` process.
ALSO - Very important to Me - IF I get advice on starting the Download again should I stop using my Computer while the Download process is being carried out or is that just necessary when the actual Upgrade is being carried out ?
Sorry if that is a `silly question` but I really am concerned about not messing up this Windows 10 upgrade as I would probably not be capable of rectifying anything that goes wrong.
I would really appreciate any help.
Regards,
Chris
