Yes, my original comment was born out of the frustration of spending a week, and most of my monthly download allowance, trying to get Windows 10 installed. For some reason the auto installer would not work, and it took quite a few attempts before I got the .iso file downloaded safely. Whereas, upgrading my wife's Windows 8.1 system was automatic, and took less than an hour. So I had one good experience and two bad: a third system is still not able to run the auto updater, and I need a different (32-bit) iso to do it.

What is a download allowance?

I don't have a download allowance. I can download as much as I want. This is the reason why I ask.
I can only assume that your internet vendor has you on a restricted contract for how much you can download per month, which is just silly, to me. Sorry.
|

|

No. I don't.
I pay more for speed, but not for volume/amount. I can download till the cows come home and I don't pay extra for that. This must be for wireless perhaps? A UK thing? I don't know.

It just depends how the ISP charges for their service. And wireless has nothing to do with it, that is just local in your home. My package limits me to 20Gb per month during "charging hours", which leaves some freedom for dowloading overnight. In general this is more than enough, but a few failed downloads of the Windows 10 images soon ate into it.

|
20Gb? I can do that on a Monday. Might one suggest that you first priority should be a new ISP?
|
|
|
|
|
Why? I don't spend my life downloading; 20Gb is more than enough for an average month.

WOw wow wow. I had the upgrade going on tonight, and did not know about that. That would be _really_ annoying, if money would not work anymore.

Google around - some people claim that a registry tweak is enough to fool it into running.
I can't say I've tried it myself though, as I use Money in a VM running 7, which I'm not planning on upgrading.

Yeah, what apps don't work?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

I have some WPF apps which won't work - the issue seems to be an older version of the Xceed grid
also the apps using the MS ribbon control have very goofy chrome

Which version? I've got WPF apps still using v5, and they don't appear to have any problems.
If you haven't still got a subscription, would the community edition[^] work?

Oh, I hope Office 2003 still works.

Yes, it does, my wife uses it regularly.

Thanks, I will give it a try on my test system when I get it upgraded. I am back to Win 7 on my main PC.

Thanks Ravi, but I already looked at that version. It is US centric, does not support most of the account types that I use, and could not read my existing Money file.

Don't worry, all those "millions of win10 installations" go your way - back to Win7!
And yes, you should thank MS that you removed Win10 before your private life was uploaded to their servers. he-he

Me!
Almost...As one of many who was there for the preview test I got an update for the final version, only with a bit of twist...I can not activate my version unless paying ($200) for a brand new license...
Thank you MS, I'm sure I will spend my precious time to help you next time too...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
