Guidance to prepare for installation of Windows 10

Hi Scott,

Thank you for posting your query in Windows 10 Technical Preview.

As per the system specification your PC can be upgraded to Windows 10, however please note as of now Windows 10 is in development stage and is not the final version and using it on your Work PC is not recommended.

If you would like to install Windows 10, please refer to the suggestions provided by Andre Da Costa from the link below:

Hope this helps, do let us know if you need further assistance with Windows.

I honestly would suggest you avoid installing Windows 10 on your Tablet right now. You are likely to encounter the following issue:

When I try to upgrade, I receive the following error message: Windows can't be installed because this PC uses a compressed operating system. What can I do?

Important notes

There are forum discussions stating quite vehemently that Windows 10 has ruined the touch interface, and that Windows 8 or 8.1 are much better.

Microsoft spent too much time to just catch up the touch interface on Surface Pro 3 and going to introduce Surface Pro 4 in order to complete with Apple or Samsung.  We all expect Windows 10 is the one to be comparable with her competitors.  If your comments are true, Microsoft makes everyone disappointed.  I recently bought Lumia 930 and has been using for one month.  It is not too bad but definitely cannot compare with Apple and Android.  I have been used Palm, CE, Apple, Android and Windows mobile phones The best may be the third one on the market.  Needless to say, much better than Palm and CE mobile phones.

If Windows 10 does not catch the level of touch interface of Apple and Samsung, no one will give any chance to Windows any more.  Touch interface does not mean to change the use of mouse to finger.  It also introduce smart user experience.  The machine knows what you are doing and responds promptly and accurately.  Currently, Windows 8.1 uses both modern UI and desktop mode due to rubbish software of designing in half way of both finger and mouse control UI.  If Windows 10 is worse than Windows 8.1, I have not interest in testing it at all.
