I wasn’t kidding in my earlier post: [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10) ---

I read somewhere that that was only for “tech savvy” people, which immediately excluded me. ---

I think the process was: download some sort of installer, click ‘next’ a few times, then let it install and restart a few times with some more dialogs/wizards in between. ---

TC - did you end up upgrading to it? ---

There appears to be some bug with my combination of motherboard, Sandy Bridge processor, and Windows 10, because 137951632% CPU usage seems a bit high. Only found [this thread](http://www.overclock.net/t/1566642/windows-10-cpu-usage-always-at-100-need-help) so far, and there seems to be disagreement about whether or not updates are available for the relevant BIOS/UEFI. ---

After some frustration, I finally got it installed. Really like it so far; nice and minimalistic. No Cortana in Canada for some (surely stupid) reason. I like the new browser and I especially like that there is only one now. It’s nice that the traditional desktop apps and the windows store apps are integrated into one place. ---

My general take is to always do a clean install. Backup your important data first, of course. You should also ask here: [http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us?auth=1](http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us?auth=1) You’ll get more help if you would like to still explore the possibility of upgrading your machine.
