Windows 10 upgrade

I did update to win 10 yesterday, it didn't even ask for my win 7 product key, but now keyboard is wacky even though I updated drivers - now to try the game

It will take a while to update all the Store Apps as well as the Windows Updates. Also Defender may check the computer to build a "clean computer" database, using up to 50% of CPU. And the Indexing Service will do the indexing for the first time on Win10. When they've finished you can start tidying up the processes.

Win10 updates a lot without restarting. Anytime something is screwy try rebooting first.

If you continue to have problems try the clean install option instead of the upgrade.

Sound advise up there.

Upgrading instead of a clean update is recommendable only if:

• there's a bunch of programs having to be reinstalled and no time to do it - like in a small company with one or two PC's
• there's programs that can't be reinstalled for free, like Office Starter 2010
• a clean install will be done at some point, the upgrade serving for getting the Win10 license activated. This should also allow a future hard disk change.
• testing if it will flawlessly run on your computer. Back in 2015 there were dual video card laptops which couldn't get the resolution right. The upgrade allows reverting back to Win7/8 for 10 days.

Upgraded this last Saturday no problems, but I had to pay for the upgrade

Why did you have to pay?

Indeed, why did you have to pay? This week I've upgraded about half a dozen and the only payment the customers had to pay was for my work.

From what the system said there was no other option. I looked for the 7 to 10 upgrade but no luck. No problem its done now.

What exactly did you pay for?
