How To Download Windows 10 - Easy - Free

So I know some people are still having trouble making the download start or install the download. There are a couple of solutions to this problem and I may be able to assist.

Option A:

Hey guys just a short tutorial how to get Windows 10 easy.

1. First locate to the folder below.

C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download

2 .Next delete everything within the folder.

3. Next run 'CMD' as admin and type 'wuauclt.exe /updatenow'

4. Open windows update and windows 10 should start downloading.

5. Enjoy, this method seemed to work for me.

If that doesn't work, then option B probably will.

Option B:

Download this: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=616936 (if you have a 64 bit system)

or this: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=616935 (if you have a 32 bit system)

Then run it. Nothing might happen at the start so you may have to wait 5-20 minutes, but then your upgrade notification will come up soon. To check, search Windows Update on your taskbar. If it says Windows 8 is downloading, it's good. If it says it's preparing, it's working. If it says "Your copy has been reserved" then you may have to wait a little while but it will soon start to work.

(The first & second method let's you keep everything. Both of these methods are a direct upgrade and you keep all of your files.)

I'm currently doing method B it's on 10%, I will leave feedback once it's installed and if everything has been done safely but for now thank you.
