Has anyone figured out the RAM issues with the windows 10 upgrade installer? Currently running Windows 8.1 on a laptop that fully meets requirements and has 5 gb of ram installed, but the upgrade tool keeps telling me I don't have enough ram to qualify for the upgrade.
5GB is an odd number for installed RAM. Multiples of 2 or 3 are the most common that I've run across, perhaps Windows is having trouble with it?
Did it produce this new-in-Windows-10 error?

The amount of RAM is fine. No OS requires an "even" amount, just enough to do the work.
I did the 10 load. Parts are great, fast, slick.
Other parts aren't fixable. Drivers are still a major issue with this experimental OS.
It's not time for the average layman to switch over yet.
I'm going back to 7 tomorrow when I have time.
At least they give you an out to return to 7 within 30 days.
Painful lesson learned. That's exactly what backups are for.
I did the "Uninstall 10 back to 7" install yesterday. I LOST everything saved but email contacts. EVERYTHING IS GONE I SAVED for years..
I seriously doubt it's gone. You probably just had a profile problem. Go to the c:\users folder and look around in the various folders. Odds are high it's all in there. Nothing in that process should destroy data. It could also still be in the windows.old folder.
Halfway through the uninstall a box popped up and said it couldn't revert back. Then everything went black. NOTHING left except for my emails on the seperate account. Everything is empty.
Thanks for the hint though.
