[Leica] Windows 10

[Jay Burleson]

Your particular device may have a compatibility issue. To check the 
status, click on the Windows 10 reservation icon in your system tray – 
it looks like a white Windows logo – to open up the reservation.
Inside of this, there is a hamburger menu icon on the top left. Click 
this to expand the menu, then open the “Check your PC” option. This will 
display a compatibility report which you should verify is ready to go 
before proceeding. You may have to wait for device driver updates from 
your manufacturer before the system is Windows 10 ready.

If all looks good, AND you have backed up your computer, you can update 
without waiting for the Windows reservation.

Microsoft has a page up with the tools to download and create a bootable 
USB drive or ISO, and you can find it here:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10?OCID=WIP_r_Win10_Body_AddPC

Go there, and download the tool. Run the tool, and it should give you 
the option to either upgrade the PC you are on now, or download the 
files to a USB or ISO. I’ve not had any luck with the “upgrade this PC” 
option, so I had to do the download. I downloaded it to a USB drive.

Then, instead of booting from the USB drive, simply navigate to it in 
Windows Explorer and run setup.exe from there to initiate the upgrade 
process. It takes a few minutes to get ready, then it will prompt you 
asking what you would like to keep on your PC, and then it does the 
upgrade. This is only meant to be used from a genuine copy of Windows, 
and it should activate correctly after.
