Install SharpKeys to switch command and Ctrl on Apple Keyboards. back up your registry in Reg Edit before doing so.

I run Windows inside Parallels, and got the error message that the display driver wasn't compatible. This link worked great, and within 45 minutes I had Windows 10 up and running. It's much better than Windows 8.1 for a non-touch screen notebook (like my 2015 MacBook).

The upgrade was installing fine, and I left it alone this morning when I went to sleep (I work nights). Woke up this afternoon several hours later and the monitor was asleep. So I jiggled the mouse, nothing. Tapped keys on the keyboard, nothing. Rebooted the computer, nothing.
I get a black screen and I cannot for the life of me figure out what is wrong. I even changed HDMI's from my graphics card to the integrated graphics port on my PC. Nothing.

I work nights too. Came home and turned on my HTPC (legit PC on 8.1). It's been on all day and it still says that it will let me know when it's ready for the upgrade.
One thing I must say is that Apple is much better at upgrades than Microsoft. Granted, Microsoft has never really had much experience in this kind of "ultimate free OS upgrade" thing in the past, but the issues I've had are just ridiculous. I haven't used OS X since I sold my Macs and went back to Windows, but I must give Apple credit here.
The Windows Update process for pushing out the free upgrade was really poor for me. First it says I'm ready to upgrade, then it says "preparing for installation", then it claims that I cancelled the upgrade; it then appeared to have forgotten that it downloaded the upgrade ready (with no mention of it in Windows Update), despite the fact that I can clearly see the full hidden folder where it downloaded to.
I just gave up and am using the ISOs from the Microsoft website. I'm hoping it will still work that way. Other people have reported no issues with this method. I hope there will be no license issues using the ISOs.

The vote is missing "It boots but has issues". 2013 Mac Pro D700 video drivers aren't working (Code 43 in Device Manager).
It works great for me. Mid-2012 retina MBP, originally on Windows 8.1 Bootcamp. I downloaded Microsoft's Windows 10 installer directly from MS and chose "Upgrade this computer", everything after that was smooth and painless.
I have to say, Microsoft's really nailed Windows 10. I love their new UI design direction, especially the new browser Edge, the Start menu and Cortana. I wish Apple had given us access to Siri on Macs

I upgraded my HTPC to 10 and it went smooth. Up and running in 45 minutes. Everything seems to be working so far.
I haven't upgraded the 8.1 bootcamp install on my mid 2014 yet. I want to make sure that Masterdom and SolidWorks will work in 10 before I do the upgrade.

5 year old HP will run it no problem. W10 is not heavy on resources.

Running a genuine W7 x64 Ultimate on my iMac (bootcamp) and I'm getting Windows Update errors relating to Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro (code 80240020) every time Windows Update checks for updates. FWIW, there are numerous others reporting the same thing on MSFT support forums.
![HBbhuqf-DOBpJ6uBs0_r41L2K1hS5ZGXqwUz0EmcRC8=w952-h558-no]()
In the Get Windows 10 app, it shows my PC as ready (no errors or incompatibilities for neither hardware nor software) and it just gives me the option to get notified when it's ready.
![nlRR78wrTzI4ZWoCGa7yNuyH7qaJ7p-ylNsDrzWAdqg=w816-h530-no]()
But I guess it's already downloaded the W10 install files because when I run Disk Cleanup (for system files) there's now an entry there for Temporary windows installation files that's 6GB in size. Maybe MSFT doesn't think it's my turn yet

Just go to Microsoft's web site and download the installer. That's what I wound up doing when the upgrade app said my MacBook wasn't compatible because the Parallels display driver hadn't been updated.
You don't want to touch the non apple bootcamp drivers. They are likely to mis-identify the card and cause possible heat issues.
Thanks, I'll try that if nothing happens by tomorrow. Out of curiosity, during install do I need a Windows 10 key (I don't have one) or will my Windows 7 key do?
