Windows 10 upgrade

Having 30 computers in the computer lab, I have rolled out

Windows 10 as an upgrade.

WOW, really quick and easy.

You can upgrade from the ISO that you can download or download

Windows 10 straight onto your flash drive.

The other really nice thing is that you can choose if you want to run a 32 or 64 bit system.

If you are not sure you can download both of them in the same file.

Really brilliant.

If you do download both, just remember that you will not be able to save the ISO

onto a normal DVD as it is to big.
