What to do if a backup update does not come

As one of the options:
1) Go to the folder C: \ Windows \ SoftwareDistribution \ Download and delete there all the existing files and folders
2) Run the command line, and write the following command wuauclt.exe / updatenow in it
Within 5 minutes after that, download all the necessary files for the update.
The process can be monitored:
Right-click on the START icon ->System ->Windows Update
пїЅ regedit.exe - go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ WindowsUpdate \ OSUpgrade branch (if there is no branch, create it manually)
Create a DWORD (32-bit) parameter with the name AllowOSUpgrade and the value 0x00000001
Re-open the Windows Update panel and start the update search process again.

Will the license be saved when installing over the licensed 7/8?

Yes, it will.

Can I then reinstall the system on a clean?

Yes you can, provided that the iron has not changed. If the iron has changed, or activation does not occur, contact microsoft support.

How to know that the system is activated?
Win + X>System>Bottom window

Or go to the personalization settings, if they are active, then everything is fine.

Yes, everyone who upgraded from 7/8 get one key.

Can I delete the $ Windows. ~ WS and Windows.old folders?

Yes you can. But it is more correct to do this through disk cleaning. (Go to This computer - right-click on the C: drive: properties — disk cleaning — clean up the system files — and tick the previous Windows installations.)
Or - A month after installing the update, these folders should be removed by themselves.

What's up with directx12?

Answer.

Is it possible to activate 10 keys from 7/8?

Starting from November 2015, Windows 10 supports key activation for Windows 7, 8.1 and 8. You can use it both after installing the system and during a clean installation using the latest images from the Microsoft website.

Disable telemetry in Windows 10!

Periodically, opinions about the introduction of telemetry in Windows 10 appear on the network. At the moment there is no exact evidence of these innovations.
If you agree with these opinions, then you will find a solution to this problem.here.If you do not agree, you can use the operating system as usual.
All actions you do at your own peril and risk. The administration of the resource is not responsible.
