Hi, Actually if he is using the Enterprise version I doubt he will be offered the upgrade as those are volume licensed products which are excluded from the free offer. The reason for this is usually the company has an active maintenance with MS and can get the Windows 10 version from the volume license site, and upgrade their users. If the machine had an older Windows on it originally (Windows 7, 8 or 8.1) I would go back down to that, then follow the normal Windows 10 upgrade process. This will give you Windows 10 at the same level as your older Windows. Hope this helps. Andrew. ________________________________________ From: Blind-sysadmins [blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] on behalf of David Thomas [david.thomas@davidthetechguy.com] Sent: 24 July 2015 12:16 To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] how to get my reserve windows 10 How about waiting until the official launch day, and then downloading it!!

Marvin, This is a list for system administrators. Therefore I'd have assumed that most questions asked would be from a level where system administration is attainable or your current occupation. I really think questions such as this that you've asked shouldn't be sent to this list. Especially when you can get the answer from google, Bing or any other search engine of your choosing. You may want to pose these questions on a more general IT list. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Marvin Hunkin Sent: 24 July 2015 12:06 To: blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] how to get my reserve windows 10 Hi.
