Any idea how to stop it? Even though it' already at 40%, I seriously don't want to upgrade for now...
You can keep downloading it and choose not to update.
Yeah but I've already exceeded my download capacity for this month.
Not to mention the size it's taking from my ssd.
Ramnesia wroteI currently have a pirated windows 8.1 but I want to buy windows 10 home, any idea how can i get it when it is available ( not from Microsoft lebanese store), because i think it is gonna be priced here for 273000LL as window 8.1 is priced. US price is 120$
r/microsoftsoftwareswap is your friend, you can get a Windows key for like 10 bucks.
Note to anybody availing of the free update to windows 10, if you cant find the download yet go into search, type cmd, enter wuauclt.exe/updatenow and press enter. This should start the download if you have already reserved your free copy. Also be sure to have updates automatically applied.
Ramnesia wroteBuying and Updating to Windows 10 from windows 8.1, I am only concerned about hardware changes in my system because I have read somewhere this would break the license forcing you to buy windows 10 later on ( Not sure).
Found an answer for this Here
@ kazouza i didnt try it but maybe if you press the windows logo ( the one that you used to reserve windows 10) if ou open the left menu in there, in the lower left corner there is a view confirmation button click on it then click cancel reservation try it it might work.
if not just google it.
hope i could hel
Is it a good idea to update instantly? Shouldn't you wait around a month or two for Microsoft to iron out all the major bugs and flaws? And also for the third-party developers to adapt their programs and drivers?
I have reserved, still waiting though !

Tried that didn't work, tried shit ton of different stuff till I managed to get rid of it but in the process I ended up screwing windows update..
My update history is empty, and it keeps checking for updates for a while without finding anything..
if I choose upgrade the pc now will it upgrade without having to use dvd,usb... and will it be the same as waiting the windows update to upgrade?

I didn't try it I will start with the download right now, but I will do an iso to keep the file and after that when I open the iso and install there should be an option to upgrade the windows
Ahmad Toutounji wroteI asked because I don't want to format I just want to upgrade
yup i'm doing the same
I just finished upgrading from win 8.1(pirated) pro to win 10 pro and windows is still activated, But i know It is because of KMSpico which win8.1 uses to activate windows for 180days, apparently it works on win10.
The good thing is that the upgrade went smooth I had no trouble with drivers even on this old laptop hp dv6-1199ee from 2009.
I used the tool because its been a while that I did not use my laptop but i did reserve a copy on it before.
So you used the tool and upgraded without any loss in data and files and programs? Is it booting faster?
Fast boot depends on many things but in my old laptop case i did not see any difference from win8.1.
As for the data I did not lose anything.
