Windows 10 Release - Discussion

I downloaded the iso, ran the iso from inside Windows. Choose the option to upgrade, it failed with "something happened"

I restarted my computer boot to the DVD, it asked for a Windows key. It would not accept my Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 7 key -.-
 
Everything downloaded. The USB drive is filled with 2.95GB but the tool crashed at 71% (With Something Happened) . Can anyone tell me the size of the Pen Drive or the ISO after it is created for Windows 10 Pro?

Anyway, I can check the consistency of these files which are there in the Pen Drive? Should I just launch the setup.exe and see what happens?

This is what I tried the first time and it failed, I am trying again, at 74% so far... fingers crossed.

It crashed in the middle :|

I am now just downloading the ISO and will then burn it on a USB. I am almost on the verge of finishing my data cap for this month :(
 
Pranav, you'll need a USB Flash Drive of at least 4GB (so like 6-8GB) to create a bootable installation media with the Windows 10 .iso from what I know.

I am really out of luck <_<

The 8GB pendrive which I was trying to use is dead. Now when I tried to use the CD/DVD writer, I found that it is dead as well -_- (It has been so long since I have used it)
Now waiting for dad to arrive home so that I could try to use his laptop :|

Any chance, I could just extract the ISO (On local disk) and run the setup from there?
 
I'm pretty sure you can. Some people did it I think.

It says that my Apps and Settings would be deleted but my files would be kept. It is because according to it, I am running an **unknown** variant of Windows -_- . I have to report back to college on Monday so I will hold on tight till I reach there.

I was really looking forward to this :(

So, the conclusion is that the Student Edition of Windows from Dreamspark does not get the upgrade option.
 
Aren't you running some weird edition of Windows too? Like Embedded or else?

Yep. It is provided by Dreamspark. I got access to my MSDN a lot later so...

The version is - Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro
 
I don't think this edition is elligible for the Windows 10 upgrade is it?
 
Which edition of Windows 10 do you get when upgrading from that edition?
 
I got it from dreamspark, Windows 8.1 Professional, then upgraded to windows 10 Pro.
 
I meant, what edition of Windows 10 do you get when you upgrade from Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro? Windows 10 Pro?

Ah now I see. The Windows 8.1 Professional is not available in Dreamspark in India.
