Usually with game updates and demos it takes FOREVR to download updates. I don't know why. My internet is 20mbps. So it will have actually download a 2.3 gb download in 1 hour or so.
If confident your PC meets the Windows 10 Specificationsand are aware of any listed unsupported OS features, then you can bypass Get Windows 10 app in the System Tray to Install Windows 10 using the media creation toolchoosing the first option to automate the Upgrade which overcomes almost all issues with Get Windows 10 in the System Tray.
However in the same amount of time it takes to download that option, you can choose the second option 'Create Media for another PC' to make bootable flash or DVD media to keep for any needed repairs or reinstall, and can be run from Desktop to Upgrade. This media also gives you an extra option to Save Nothing during the Upgrade which overcomes Upgrade choking on corruption or bloated factory installs and gets as close to a superior Clean Install as an Upgrade can get.
With this media you can even do the superior Clean Install Windows 10 Upgrade to activate directly with the Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 Product Key (even if embedded) as specified in the Version 1511 FAQ at the end of Activation in Windows 10 - Windows Help.
But if you prefer to run an in-place Upgrade the media must be opened in Windows 7/8.1, then right click Setup file to Run as Administrator. If using Flash installer, set the Hard drive (or for UEFI: Windows Boot manager) first to boot in BIOS setup to keep it from restarting installation at reboots during Upgrade.
If asked do not insert a Product Key at any time, click Skip, Next or Do this later.
If you want to maximize chances for a successful Upgrade, then choose to Save Nothing so the Upgrade has much less to choke on and has less problems after install. Make sure your files are backed up separately and you have your program installers and any Product Keys for programs like Office.
To improve the Upgrade's chances turn off everything at Startup:
Type msconfig in Start Search box, right click System Config Utility to Run as Administrator. In Startup and Services tabs after making sure to Hide all MS Services disable everything except anti-virus, any synch, stickies, printer using scan.
Uninstall any anti-virus except Defender. Bloated AV's like Norton, McAfee, AVG and Avast need to have special Uninstallers (removal tools) for common antivirus software - ESET Knowledgebase.
It’s highly recommended to Create a backup System Image of your existing OS before upgrading, which can be recovered using the booted Windows installation media, Repair CD or Recovery flash drivein 20 minutes. Type Backup in Start Search box, in Backup and Recovery Center choose Create a System Image. You can also use a more flexible imaging program like free Macrium Imaging which allows recovery to any partition position on the hard drive.
Immediately after install, type Update in Start Search box to Check for Updates, expedite these through requested restart, then check again until no more are offered.
Next right click Start button to open Device Manager, import any drivers still missing from the PC or Device's Support Downloads webpage. How to: Install and Update drivers in Windows 10 - Microsoft Community
Stick with built-in Defender in Windows 10 for best performance and adequate protection. If you get infected add the inexpensive Real Time protection from the best-in-class free malware scanner Malwarebytes. No one I’ve had do this has ever been infected again. I'd also periodically scan with free Malwarebytes and AdwCleaner scanners.

The much anticipated Destiny 2.0.0 update hit today and brings with it a bevy of new content for fans. Included is a raised level cap to 34, refined stats and tweaks to practically every weapon in the game. Unfortunately, however, Xbox and PlayStation owners alike have been experiencing major issues with the download.
Most users are experiencing hang-ups at various intervals of the download, with almost nobody over 60% completed even after three hours of downloading.
“58% for me. But it moved 2% in the past hour,” said papercamm on NeoGAF.
“Oh my god. Microsoft does NOT want me playing #Destiny 2.0. Download’s frozen again at 36% >.<” tweeted Author Fenix.
Why Do My Downloads Take So Long
“Mine hasnt stopped at 1 percent. its just going as slow as a prius in a 75 zone. been around 1.5-2 hours. 38% downloaded and like 70% on content transferred. I’ve passed 2 kidney stones and this comes close,” said reddit user Str8lurk1n
The only fix so far seems to be to do a hard reset of your console and modem/router, which is allowing the download to continue, although the speeds are still incredibly low and at the time of writing nobody has been able to fully download the update yet.
Why Is Destiny Taking So Long To Download For Windows 7
[UPDATE 9/8 7:08 PM PST] We originally reported that only Xbox One users were experiencing issues with the download as that console was predominately what we were seeing complaints for. It now appears that every console — PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360 — are experiencing similar difficulties. This suggests that it is not anything to do with Xbox Live or PSN itself, but rather the Destiny servers which are overloaded.
