Today Microsoft launched Windows 10. I am not a Windows user (today did nothing to alter my preferences), but I do own a couple of Windows machines and I thought I would take the time to explore what the new OS had to offer.
A few years ago I bought a Lenovo S-10 to explore what K-12 students might experience when schools offer them netbooks. The S-10 came with Windows 7 and was underpowered. The Windows 10 is supposed to work on machines running 10 and is supposed to be suited for less powerful machines.
I worked at implementing the upgrade for several hours. Things just did not work well. I suppose Microsoft was getting slammed with downloads today, but this was more than that. I admit being behind with some of my upgrades. It appears that the Chrome browser will not work and I had avoided IE at all costs so it took some time to upgrade the browser to upgrade the OS. Still, the upgrade did not go as advertised. I finally located what may be the problem and I describe this issue because it both puzzles me and may frustrate others.
The Q&A provided by Microsoft directed me to a diagnostic script. Running this script revealed the following problem. The Windows site does explain that Enterprise customers are not entitled to a free download of 10.
Now, I am confused what is meant by an Enterprise edition. I always thought this term was used to describe businesses and perhaps schools who might purchase equipment in bulk. I cannot remember exactly how I purchased my Lenovo, but I purchased it as an individual.
I only have so much curiosity and I have now exhausted whatever I could spare for Windows software.
