I get this message when trying to upgrade to Windows 10...

How can I get Windows 10 to start the download on my iMac?

Patience. Microsoft are drip feeding it out *starting* today.

Open Command prompt and type - wuauclt.exe /updatenow and it will begin

It hasn't seemed to have done anything? Here is a pic:

The command triggers a Windows update check and has been around since Windows 2000. It won't necessarily trigger the GWX download on a machine that just clicked reserve.

Odd, did every time for me. So far Windows 10 is working smooth for me.

Worked on one out of three for me. Co-incidence? Dunno.

Oddly Windows 10 is giving me grief on a Surface Pro. Won't sleep, keeps waking up and running out of battery.

Ah that sucks. Haven't put it on my Surface yet, but my buddy is having the same experience on his Surface Pro 3. Maybe Mac performs better.

You'd think that Microsoft would have bulletproof drivers for their own hardware. 😉
