Microsoft will bet you a new laptop that it can upgrade your (compatible) PC to Windows 10

Maybe in realizing they’ve probably maxed out getting as many people as possible to download the upgrade, Microsoft is taking an in-person approach to promoting the free offer.

I wonder what their compatibility checker would say if I tried it on my 10yo vista laptop. OTOH at 3 hours/165 miles each way even if I won a free bottom tier laptop I'd lose.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

I don't want Win10 (at this time). I don't want a Dell laptop (or anything Dell). The only way to win is not to play. I have an MSDN subscription via my employer so I can get nearly anything for free anyway.

What they forgot to mention - is that there is no guarantee, that all your all old software will work as before - or presented at all, for that matter...

My experience to date is that a roughly six year old laptop with Windows 7 gets a green light on their initial test. They attempted the upgrade and the hard drive locks up (too many critical drive errors apparently) while the upgrade thrashes. The store refused to provide the Dell Inspiron 15 the next day due to this pre-existing condition. So I am investing $45 in a new hard drive and they promise to port the files and upgrade to Windows 10 today. I didn't see anything about excluding failures due to pre-existing conditions in the offer, so I will probably take this up with the Microsoft PR people unless all is resolved to my satisfaction today.
