My original comment seems to have gone astray, so here it is again. I downloaded the Windows 10 installation medium but it refuses to download Windows 10. It hangs when checking for updates and makes no further progress.
I am finding all this very disappointing. When I upgraded my own laptop last year it all went smoothly. I am now trying to put Windows 10 on my wife’s machine and it is a nightmare. What has gone wrong?
OK, Manual downloaded the files, BUT now it’s stuck Checking for updates.
Any work around?
Sorry – I meant the Get Windows 10 app, of course.
Hi Yuri, I tried to download Windows 10 manually per your instructions. I received a message that said the my computer’s architecture was incompatible and to use the right architecture. I have no idea what architecture is nor where to find out what type my computer has. Can you tell me how to find the information? Thanks, Sue
