Rumncoke, I'm guessing you might like to download the Media Creation Tool and copy it to a DVD or flash drive - and then install Windows 10 from that.

I went through the reservation/gradual download process, and the installation went flawlessly. It took quite a while, but the first 30 minutes of the process required no input from me. So, I went to dinner. The remaining part of installation required me to make a few choices. Fortified with dinner, I could handle it.

All in all, the process took about 45 minutes, and went without a hitch.

The new operating system used all my settings, so the new system doesn't look or work much differently from Windows 8.1. I was hoping for more dramatic changes because I like new toys to play with, but this upgrade seems quite satisfactory.
