      They didnt want to lose all their stuff.

      That's what backups are for... for people that don't want to lose their stuff.

        But they wouldn't... backup the user data and reinstall any required apps. Far less headache.

          nah, took maybe ten minutes of me thinking and restarting the upgrade to 10. would have been hours reinstalling all their applications.

            Aren't you the least bit concerned about whatever crap might still be residing on the drive though? Vista is ancient. I'd be worried about viruses and malware still on the system.

              Well, im pretty sure the upgrade process runs their mrt.exe at some point. I think i ran MalwareBytes beforehand. Also, it is not my computer or a work computer so no i really dont care.
              I told them that too, and theyre ok with it. I would have told them to get a new laptop, but this one has an old core2 duo and 6GB RAM so still very useable.

                    Hopefully they'll extend it another week or something.

                        No they won't.

                        If businesses did not see Windows 10 coming for 2 years, then they need to pay the tax of upgrading after the 364 days of free upgrade.

                            @Breffni-Potter Yep....

                            Just nothing else to say about it, you had all this time to make plans to get this done.

                              Their phone activation systems are also down.

                              Nice.

                                  Oh, it goes through, then says "we can't help you" or some such BS, and hangs up.
