I had been very careful before starting the process.  I double-checked my key from my receipt(s) and also downloaded two programs to confirm the hardware key (Magic Jelly Bean and Belarc Advisor).  When I go to activate using that code, Win 10 isn't accepting it.  But even that diligence was for naught.

... and it even is syncing my background and layouts from my first machine.

Yeah, this is a nice feature.  I don't want too much integration (Cortana/the search bar with Bing can both go to hell) but I'm okay with the look and feel and my own personalizations being consistent across devices.

Just found an old legit Win7 disk I had in a drawer here at the office so I have a back-up product key if I need it....

Really? What's going on? I haven't heard that one before. I upgraded to 8.1 easy peesy on my little dell tablet with minimal storage and memory.
Kept on failing for me. Also not having a legit key helps too.

Win10 ISO works fine. I get to skip the Win8.1 upgrade altogether.  Need to dl the activator when I get home.

I jumped from Windows 7 on a 6 year old laptop.

No issues,  whatsoever.  Schitt even has windows 10 drivers up on their site already, so kudos to them.

I'm impressed.

Thanks for the heads-up on this!

I keep gettting a message that it's time to upgrade. Then I reschedule it to Saturaday when I will have more time. A couple of hours later it tells me it's time to upgrade. It appears MS doesn't care when I want to upgrade at all or the scheduler has a problem.

Glad to hear the Schitt is on top of things.

I will say I'm getting more pops, clicks, and stutters on USB audio.  It's a significant difference.

Will be curious to see if others experience the same.

What is your latency setting on Foobar?  Might try setting it a little higher. Sometimes that has worked for me.

Yep, I was just about to come update my post.

I upped the buffer slightly, and all seems to be well.

Also, this is completely insane, but imaging seems improved.  Probably just me hyper-analyzing every sound I hear, but it's been consistent.
