Its not just your 'net, the MS server's are chugging to capacity.
Let it sit and do its thing.

Great, its sounding good.
Keep me updated.

Looks like were ready

Yes Sir, click install and sit back for a while !

I did. It rebooted & now at 18% coping files. So far, so good.

Looks like you're good to go. Just curious, did it ask for your key? I upgraded from 8.1 and it pulled the key from the BIOS.

I did the media tool way and mounted the ISO and run setup. 9gb isn't enough on the c drive but setup said it could use my d drive I presume for windows.old. Copying files now.
