Windows Windows 10 free upgrade

So I downloaded this 2.8 GB ISO file using the Media Creation Tool x64. Would it be good enough to install the 64 bit version? I've already reserved a copy for myself.

how come the iso images have different sizes?
are there any torrent links to download the windows 10 iso yet?
my iso seems to be taking too long to download (37% still) :p
anyone having any issues with nvidia drivers?
my nvidia display driver was having problems when I had installed the tech preview. was reverting to the default microsoft display driver back then, so had to get back to windows 7. there is a new nvidia driver update since yesterday or so, lets see how it works out.

These iso's include

1.Device Drivers(touchpad,LAN etc)
2.Latest Updates(Critical and Optional)
3.Added Windows features(If you have added any feature like Language Packs)

Hence the size varies from user to user.

You can upgrade with any iso's available from torrents(I did the same because I get high speed peering) and upgrade without any problem if you have original windows 8.My upgrade attempt through windows update failed due to some error.Upgrading from iso is far safer and a lot FASTER
Note:You cannot upgrade from Windows 8.1(any version) to Windows 10 enterprise.Well you CAN but Windows 10 enterprise won't be activated.Trust me I have tried.
Microsoft weren't kidding when they said Enterprise upgrade won't be free.
 
iso size shouldnt vary from user to user...... based on your 3 points...... after all, we are downloading from the Media Creation Tool..... which is creating iso for installation on another PC..... so it has to include everything all the time.... so size has to be same for all users..... size should only vary for 32-bit and 64-bit.....

Why would it do tht when its clearly written "Create installation media for another PC"...... so its creating a general purpose iso, not PC specific....

Only option it gives it "Home" or "Pro"....... "language"...... "x86" or "x64"....... and downloads the iso....... It doesnt even scan the PC before downloading the iso..... so its not PC specific....

Just to be clear....... am talking about Media Creation Tool...... Not GWX

Might be the editions are different
 
BTW...... KIS 2015 isn't compatible on windows 10...... I found out after installing Windows 10.....

Also the GWX didnt give me an compatibility warning before installation.....

Reason for incompatibility is...... Kaspersky has released any Windows 10 versions of their products.... LOLz

Win 10 Update has to be downloaded in one go or can it be downloaded in parts and at different times???? My isp isn't great.I cant download 3 gb file in one single unbroken connection.Update already failed 3 times.

download the iso from torrent websites and upgrade.They will work.
 
I updated the laptop and kinda like it so far. So I have decided to update the main gaming PC. Couple of questions though.

1 What happens to my Win 7 key? Do I get a new key once the upgrade is done?
2 Can I do an upgrade now and if needed do a clean install a few months from now?
