Works for the Pro versions, too. If you download the optional updates (assuming you don't have updates installed automatically), a little Windows flag icon appears in the lower right tray, "Register for your free upgrade" or something, it says. If you register, eventually the message changes to "Schedule your upgrade." I mistakenly registered quickly, thinking this might be an offer that gets withdrawn and wanting to find out what trouble my clients would get themselves into. Now, every time I start the machine, or resume after the screen's blanked, I get the "Schedule your update now!" which takes you to a Windows Update window, and there doesn't seem to be a way to "schedule" the update for December :) I have an old, old graphics card in one Windows 8.1 machine that will likely never be supported, but the icon still hangs around. A second machine, the teeny ASUS Transformer, likely doesn't have the 3 Gb free and I'm getting an obscure installer error message. At least, that's my guess about the error: https://twitter.com/tedroche/status/632640360192311296 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cacw6n4tg0gukvw_zq3kfjfox2t_cx0y-qydgk7dbnrj4odj...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
