The MS Windows 10 upgrade experience thread.

This is a 'rant'.

I have a small 7" Windows 8.1 tablet (Connect 7 which is a Tesco rebrand of the Linx7, I believe). 32Gb drive, of which 8Gb is a recovery partition. So not much space left over.

I thought I would install Windows 10. Ha! Joke.

I have one USB port and a slot for an SD micro card. From what I've read, an SD card can be used for installation and copying files leaving the USB port free for a constant power supply. Formatted my 16Gb SD to NTFS.

Should all be straight forward, I think. What a fcuking mess. MS have screwed up big time with the installation of W10 on small tablets, going by what I've read on various forums (inc. the MS Community forum).

4 times now and installation hangs up on copying files, latest error code C1900101. Each attempt seems to bring up a different code. At least I rolled back to 8.1 ok.

I bloody hate MS for causing all this misery. They can't even get the damn upgrade facility to work correctly. Bollocs to them.

Rant over.
