Windows 10 is here! Well, it’s here for a lot of people, but many of us still cannot download it until Microsoft says it’s OK.
You see, Microsoft plans to release Windows 10 in waves. That means even if your computer is ready, you won’t necessarily be able to download Windows 10 right away. Waiting, however, is for suckers
Even if the Windows 10 install app still says it will “notify you when ready,” you can force Windows 7 or Windows 8 to start downloading the Windows 10 files (thanks to Reddit’s Windows 10 subreddit for helping us figure this out). We’ve laid out the instructions with screenshots to guide you through it.
First, navigate to “C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download” (you may need to replace C: with a different drive letter if you installed Windows elsewhere) and delete all the files there. This will give Windows Update a clean slate.
Open up Windows Update by hitting the Windows key and typing “Windows Update” and clicking on it
Open up the command prompt by hitting the Windows key and typing in cmd. Don’t hit enter. Right click and choose “Run as administrator.”
Type (but do not enter yet) “wuauclt.exe /updatenow” — this is the command to force Windows Update to check for updates
Back in the Windows Update window, click “Check for updates” on the left hand side. It should say “Checking for updates…”
While this is happening, switch back to the command prompt and enter the command you already typed in
You should now see Windows Update say that it is downloading Windows 10. Before you actually install it though, back everything up and make sure you’re ready.

Even windows has started giving updates on most of the windows mobiles also.
Just download windows insider app and enroll in for windows 10 updates 
You dont need to do this, just download mediacreationtool.exe from microsoft site and upgrade.

Your data lost or still there after updating??
after using windows 10 i still want to install windows 7. I am facing drivers issue in windows 10 and also not find any good features in windows 10.
I think I will chose to wait for 11 by that time 10 will be stable. it’s Microsoft… the Tata motors of USA

How can I clean install Windows 10? Is it possible with the Windows 8 key as I also chose to update for Windows 10?
I’ve downloaded media creation tool in USB flash drive
The process is fully complete
It said u need a product key to install windows 10
i have original windows 7 with key. so can i use that key?
so this usb tool will download another 2.7gb of install files yet again?
first feedback online is its better to stick with win7 
WTF ITS 3.7GB. However the download started automatically for me. I didn’t use any tricks

From a review I saw, there will not be windows 11 i.e there will not be a complete overhaul of the OS. As they managed to fragment the OS into multiple ones, there will be separate individual updates to each fragment.

Dont Download Through windows update option
Just download 64bit tool from microsoft website and click on upgrade now,
then the files will be downloaded and there will be an option to wipe all data and install windows and that will be a clean wipe
Also if you have already downloaded through windows update then upgrade to windows 10 and after that goto pc setting and go for Refresh windows and wipe all data.
none of pc’s, laptops nor netbooks in mymy arsenal have 8.1 but no regrets. rather 1 pc is still running xp because of driver issues compatibility with hp1010 printer.
exploring the UI is interesting but after spending 3 hours in installation and over 8 gb in downloads you realise all has been wasted.
wouldn’t it be better wait?
