If you have an hp 8610 printer DO NOT upgrade yet.

To save yourself frustration, don't upgrade to Win10 yet. Too many issues.

To upgrade to Windows 10:

GXN is a small utility that helps you upgrade your current Windows 7, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 Preview installation to Windows 10 RTM without any waiting or reservation.

This tool provides a few enhancements over the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft. As an example, GXN is able to identify and clean up temporary files from previous failed installation attempts, thus lowering the chance of setup not working significantly. GXN will continue receiving updates for the app itself and will always provide the most up-to-date copy of Windows 10 Microsoft offers.

These are the following prerequisites you need for GXN to work properly:
    
.NET Framework 4.5
Windows 7 or newer
An active internet connection
Administrator rights
Please report any bugs you've found using DMs on Twitter, @Whistler4Ever.

If you want to install Windows 10 on a computer that does not have an internet connection, use this:

Try uninstalling everything, restarting, then installing with last link I provided.

You are not missing Much.
You're just Missing some bloatware & Headache's
It's only the UI that canged,
Updating A Browser has nothing with OS
I wonder How Google manages to release newer versions of chrome for the same OS Hmmmm.

Oh I forgot The Calander/Clock Has A new UI

I am Still looking for 1 new feature they added, Not shortcut, or design,
Its not an updated browser. Its a new browser. Yes i am sure they can release it for Windows 7 but it still takes resources. And for me i just get work done faster so thats all the matters to me. Oh any why not upgrade it only takes 20 min? any cons to upgrading?

Only low-level laptops come with 7 starter.  Is it a 10/11 inch screen model?

There are over 4 million ppl using it on a delay basis already for over 6 months. Im assuming they worked out all the issues. Task view and multiple desktops just for that its worth to upgrade.... And i dont see the downside. I upgraded already. It took me under 20 mins. And you can always go back to the old version(takes about 20 min as well)
(Maybe i should go buy the Lotto)

See the attached it appears to be installed twice, Settings are blank, when I click on 1 of the 2 tabs it opens, when I click the 2 tab iy crashes

Did you try using the tool I posted in wiki?  Also, can you show compatibility report (click on that windows 10 icon (gwx) and go to menu in there)

Nope (as Avromie said).  Just confirm that your Windows 10 is activated before doing clean install.
