Windows 10

General
Since I built my current computer in February of 2014 I've been running an illegitimate copy of windows 7. My brother asked me if I wanted windows 10 recently, and I told him no thanks; I didn't want to spend another 100 dollars on another copy of an OS I already paid for in the past, and I didn't want him spending that much for me now. We did, however, look into buying an installation key for windows 8 pro, since all legitimate copies of 7 and 8 get a free upgrade to 10. It was 30 bucks.
So that came in the mail yesterday (technically two days ago) and I've spent every waking second since applying updates for windows 8 so I could install 8.1, then install windows 10. It took over 24 hours because the update process kept failing and reverting. I ended up installing a handful at a time (out of 180, with a reboot between every handful) while watching through Oban Star Racers again for shits and gigs during the waiting periods. I finally matched the update requirements for 8.1, installed it, updated THAT, and FINALLY installed 10 a few hours ago.
Which completely blew my secondary GPU that I use for my dual monitor setup out of the water. Apparently slightly older Nvidia GPUs aren't perfectly compatible when used as a secondary or while SLI'd. Hopefully it should be patched in the future, but until then no second monitor for me.
Anyway, though I'm glad it's over, it took over 24 hours for me to finish updating to windows 10 and I could have had a few pics that I've been working on done. It's nearly 1 AM now, and though I don't normally go to bed this early, I'm tired. I'm gonna eat a few corn-bread muffins while finishing the last few episodes of Oban I've get left, go to bed and start cranking in Paint Tool Sai first thing in the morning.
