The one that I am trying to do doesn't want to do it. Argh. Of course the straggler is giving me problems.
I am going to convert my wife's machine over today.
It's realllll old, and I'm wondering how smooth it will go.
Brave brave brave person...
Went well, except I can't get it activated, and they keep hanging up on me.

I've been online chatting all week with Microsoft, usually 35 people in the queue max.
Just went on now? 275 ahead of me!
-
And I'm done! Last Windows 10 install is complete!
-
I just finished up a minute before you.
Took 80 minutes but they generated a new key and I am in business.
I wonder how this will go after today.

Congrats to the slackers.

Why the heck did they make the deadline on a Friday rather than giving us the weekend to do it?

Because if they gave you till Sunday night all you lazy people would let it go till the weekend then forget about it because it's the weekend and come in Monday morning and be like "oops".

You can still make it. Just grab a USB stick (I think 8GB is needed), use the Windows 10 download tool and it takes care of everything for you. Very easy.

No I mean I literally can't. They have stuff running that requires XP. It's insanity.

Can XP be virtualized on top of Windows 10?

Can I use smoke signals instead of the internet or a cell phone? Sure, but why?

Get Windows 10 for the every day tasks. Get ready for the future. Limit XP to XP-only tasks. What's the game plan with staying behind on XP? It's not indefinitely supportable. You are already heading down a path of disaster. Sure, it is a long path, but there is no more support, no security updates, things will only get more and more dangerous and precarious and when something goes wrong, it's going to go really, really wrong.

I've got 3 neurons firing boys. Please don't take anything I say seriously. Of course there is a reason to do that. I'd run it in virtualbox and call it a day. There is so much to fix here I don't even know where to begin.

Well Windows 10 would be a priority to fix today. Easy one to put at the top of the list. Are the XP machines originally purchased with Windows 7?
