...What should I do now?HyperTechno said:I have windows 8 in my PC right now. So to get the WIN 10 update , should I update to WIN 8.1? The problem is, I searched the store to get the windows 8.1 update and for some reason it states that my system cannot be updated to WIN 8.1... I'm using genuine windows 8 Professional and my system is up to date. But I haven't got any windows 8.1 update nor windows 10 notification......What should I do now?

HyperTechno said:And If I not be able to upgrade online, the only alternative I have is to download the ISO from somewhere and install it via a USB drive because I do not have a DVD ROM...Do all the motherboards support booting via Pen Drives? Once I tried installing windows 8 via a USB drive but was unsuccessful, that nothing was shown up in the bios screen to accept the booting via the Pen drive......
First, do you have the folder "$Windows.~BT" under C:\ (or the corresponding drive Windows is installed on) -- turn hidden items on to see it come up?HyperTechno said:Can some one come up with a solution please?

Do you have this icon on your computer?HyperTechno said:Nope!
I don't find that...
If the above icon is not showing, try downloading the ISO from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 and mount the ISO (double click it) while still running Windows 8 (i.e. don't put it on a USB and boot from that; click setup.exe after mounting the ISO). See if that works.HyperTechno said:Can some one come up with a solution please?
Interestingly, after a few more updates, the game works again!russ_watters said:Now I'm having a new problem: Yesterday, I was playing an old Windows XP game, Command and Conquer Tiberium Wars. In the middle of the game, it disappeared and a survey from MS popped-up asking me about my experience upgrading. I thought the game had just minimized, but nope, it was gone. And now when I try to start it, I get an error message from the game, telling me it isn't compatible with my OS! Compatibility mode doesn't help.
If you signed up for the upgrade, more than likely Windows 10 has downloaded and is trying to install (but failing -- check Windows Updates).sappho.poiesis said:Hey everyone I signed up for the upgrade, I haven't downloaded it yet but now I'm afraid of the following, I have a lot of games installed, will I be able to. Play them on Windows 10? I'm afraid I won't :(
Oh okay - I assumed you were posting from the computer in question. I guess not.sappho.poiesis said:No it hasn't, since I currently have no Internet connection :/

There is no such icon either. Alright, I'll try the ISO... Thank you so much...StevieTNZ said:Do you have this icon on your computer?

Thanks for your help... I'll look into it...enorbet said:ping HyperTechno -
For you and anyone else who does not have an optical drive in addition to a BIOS with no viable "Boot USB drive" option there is a lifesaver called PLOP bootloader. It can be installed to anything, even a floppy, and when engaged it appends boot code via a simple bootloader and provides a configurable menu selection including "Boot USB". Explanation can be found here ====> https://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/intro.html

You could upgrade, and if you find your games don't work revert back to your previous OS.sappho.poiesis said:I still don't know what to do :/
