Microsoft says it could be "weeks" before you get Windows 10 upgrade

4.7
Windows 10 officially launched on Wednesday, beginning its rollout to millions of PCs around the world. In the weeks leading up to the launch, Microsoft actively invited owners of Windows 7 and 8.1 PCs to 'reserve' a copy of the new OS in advance of its rollout, promising to notify them when their PCs were ready to upgrade.

Microsoft revealed earlier today that, in the first 24 hours of availability, 14 million PCs were upgraded to Windows 10, and it looks like that number may have climbed quickly since then to around 67 million. These are impressive figures - but given that there are hundreds of millions of PCs running Windows 7 and 8.1, there's clearly a long way to go.

Microsoft has already said that it's delivering upgrade notifications 'in waves', rather than allowing everyone to upgrade at once, in an effort to ensure a smooth upgrade for all users. But how long will this process take? Microsoft UK says that some users who have already reserved their copies of Windows 10 will be waiting weeks to upgrade.

I came back to this, I realized , Windows 8 is such a joke, haha. My old labtop had it, and I wanted to break it, because of some of the frustrating lame features in it, I don't understand why they changed the whole thing, made this weird crappy menu , instead of a simple start button or something. Also I had a problem where it would keep taking me back to the menu in the middle of doing something online or something, and I wasn't hitting the windows key, pissed me off so much I went through a bunch of trouble downgrading to windows 7, but now I might update it to Windows 10 , because that laptop is actually a lot faster now . :) , Hopefully it's not a disapointment, I had a bunch of bad reviews for Windows 10, and a bunch of good reviews for Windows 10, I guess I will have to end up deciding for myself. :)
