Alienware 14 [Windows 10] Upgrade - perfect

[Nhirlathothep]

no problems at all with the 1 click upgrade. (no clean install)
just clicked on the button and waited 1 hour (many reboots)
All lights and alienware programs are perfect

Hi, glad yous went OK.
Mine is fine, except my integrated webcam doesn't have a driver, and visiting the Dell website is no help at all!

Think I'm going back to Win 7 anyway. Boot times for me are very erratic, going from very slow to incredibly slow. Dramatic pause waiting for some programs to open up too. Clean install may have made a difference I suppose.
I should have known better. Windows 7 was working fine, but I couldn't leave it alone!!!!

Mine was booting so much faster with Win10. Came across a massive problem though. I had been running my M18x on the Intel graphics because i mainly use it at work and I have it unplugged sometimes and the battery lasts about 10 secs with my two 780Ms. I tried switching it back over to the NV cards today and my old drivers were not supported. I have to use modded drivers anyway with the 780Ms. Win10 and nvidia are apparently having lots of issues. I cannot seem to find a driver that can get my cards to work and I have also read that even if I do, I may start blowing LCDs. This has happened to Mr Fox who is one of the best know M18x owners out there.
Back on Win7 now and I feel like I'm at home sleeping in my own bed again.

I am running 10 on a few machines and I love it. The OS is far from crap. My question was more specific to the Alienware 14 and of Dell has gotten their heads out of their butts and updated their stuff to support 10 fully. Thanks

I tried half a dozen times to do the upgrade and got a 0x80070002-0x20009 error. "installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase"

Applied Microsoft's standard fixes for this error, but still failed. No matter if I did in place upgrade or booted from media to upgrade.

do a clean install with w10 usb key (losing your old files)

1) try to activate it with the FN key
2) do all the W10 Updates, it will install it by itself for sure (if you have aw 14)
