Force Your Computer to Upgrade to Windows 10 [How to]

This day has finally come! After nine months of testing, numerous preview builds, millions of Insiders, and a lot of announcements, Microsoft finally released Windows 10 today. But since millions of people are waiting to get a free upgrade, Microsoft decided to rollout the system in phases, so not everyone will get Windows 10 on the same day. But if you don’t want to wait a day more, we’ll show you how to force your computer to upgrade to Windows 10.

But before we show you how to force your computer to get a free Windows 10 upgrade on day one, you have to make sure you meet all requirements for that. First and foremost, your computer needs to run a genuine copy of either Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1. And, you must have all the previous updates installed from Windows Update. Also make sure that you have reserved your free copy of Windows 10 through Get Windows 10 button on your taskbar.

If you meet these requirements, you’re good to go. So, to force your computer to receive a free upgrade to Windows 10, follow these steps:

Go to Windows Update and make sure you are set to install updates automatically
Navigate to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download folder and delete everything from it (don’t worry, it won’t damage your system)
Now right click on the Start button and open Command Prompt (Admin)
Enter the following command and press Enter:
- wuauclt.exe /updatenow
Wait a couple of minutes and check for updates in Windows Update. You should see Windows 10 being downloaded on your PC.
After the download is finished, it will start ‘Preparing for installation…,” wait until this is finished and you can install Windows 10 normally.

Impatient users around the world have tried this method, and they reported that it worked for them, so we hope it will work for you, as well.

If you already upgraded your system to Windows 10, you can tell us your impressions about the newest Microsoft’s operating system in the comments.

Workato Chat Bot Brings Enterprise Workflow Into Slack

As we head into 2016, enterprise chat applications like Slack are suddenly a hot commodity, and if you’re inside chat a good portion of the day the argument goes, you should be able to access other work without leaving the chat client. This is exactly what Workato’s newly announced chat bot, Workbot, is designed to do. Chat bots are small programs that integrate with a chat platform and provide some advanced type of functionality in a fairly easy fashion. The new Workbot-chat bot enables users to access and control over 100 enterprise applications such as a Salesforce CRM record, Quickbooks accounting information or Zendesk customer service interactions directly inside of Slack. One of the primary issues with early Enterprise 2.0 tools was that they were just another application busy employees needed to pay attention to. The idea here is to give users customer information directly in the context of the discussion they may be having...

Phoenix OS is (another) Android-as-a-desktop

Google Android may have been developed as a smartphone operating system (and later ported to tablets, TVs, watches, and other platforms), but over the past few years we’ve seen a number of attempts to turn it into a desktop operating system. One of the most successful has been Remix OS , which gives Android a taskbar, start menu, and an excellent window management system. The Remix OS team has also generated a lot of buzz over the past year, and this week the operating system gained a lot of new alpha testers thanks to a downloadable version of Remix OS that you can run on many recent desktop or notebook computers. But Remix OS isn’t the only game in town. Phoenix OS is another Android-as-desktop operating system, and while it’s still pretty rough around the edges, there are a few features that could make it a better option for some testers. Some background I first discovered Phoenix OS from a post in the Remix OS Google Group , altho...

Trump cites Facebook exec’s comments downplaying Russian ad influence on election

You’d be forgiven for missing Donald Trump’s multiple retweets of Facebook executive Rob Goldman over the weekend. Perhaps you were spending time with family, watching Black Panther or just attempting to forget politics for a moment by ignoring the manic flurry of social media updates from the leader of the free world. But in amongst a deluge of tweets that blamed Democrats for failing to preserve DACA, called out the FBI over the recent school shooting in Florida on the FBI and affectionately referred to a member of congress as “Liddle’ Adam Schiff, the leakin’ monster of no control,” the President cited Facebook’s VP of Ads as evidence against claims that his campaign colluded with Russia. “The Fake News Media never fails,” Trump tweeted over the weekend. “Hard to ignore this fact from the Vice President of Facebook Ads, Rob Goldman!” Trump was citing Goldman’s own Twitter dump over the past week, responding to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s recent indictment of 13 Russian...
