    Windows 10?, No Help Needed any longer.

    It shows to have downloaded 10 to my computer after about 5 hrs time.

    Now it says, preparing for installation, but no prompt's to continue? Just the blinking green light.

    Any help is appreciated tks.

        I'd run through it, (to let you know) but now have crappy win10 so that won't work now.

            When it's done, tap the start button, search (no quotes) "go back", then click on the appropriate result.

            Once the prior version is back as the native OS, run this:

                If you want Windows 10 then the most reliable way to upgrade is to download Windows 10 to a flash drive and then run the setup manually. I've had two that PCs that would only upgrade that way.

                  Sunday evening before I went to bed, I said to myself "F" it. I hit download
                  again and left the puter on all night.

                  Monday 6:am woke up turned on the mouse, lo and behold the screen said welcome to. Wait for it................................................ .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................
                  Windows 10 !!!!!!!

                  It had downloaded and installed it self. Being and dumb pays off sometimes.

                  Now I just have to find everything.
