It doesn't sound good, but PC World?? that is asking for trouble.

Luckily i don't know anyone who has had real problems upgrading to Windows 10 so far.

One who lost all her files is taking legal advice.

Tell me this is OK.

It would appear from your statement that these people haven't bothered to maintain any backup system. I had to do a clean install on my main PC as I had a CPU fan failed and HP insisted that before they took it away to repair that I started from scratch.

click download tool for official ISO's and remember can use windows 7 and 8.1 keys to activate this one so don't have to do a upgrade first if you still on windows 7 or 8.1 :)

l did the big upgrade this morning although it did take two hours into the process.

If you don't like the white window bar you can now change the colour to what your start menu is.

Edit

I guess that maybe automatic now, i can't remember, but it is unfortunately limited as to what control you have.

I did the Windows Home update yesterday not realizing it took ages to complete.
Anyone got a link to the extra features that are now available over and above released version?

There is no link to any files. The changes will be downloaded via the update.

That's why the title of the link is

"Windows 10 November Update - Features, changes, and improvements"

Snoopz: Thanks for the original link, just about to explain to others the benefits of updating to the latest.
[Just hope my wife doesn't start asking awkward questions!]
