I just got my new Win8.1 laptop in the mail today and I'm upgrading to 10 right away. Any reason I should be cautious? The most important thing I'll be doing is running a number of fairly popular scientific programs. (Mathematica, Zemax/CodeV, some sort of Python environment, etc.)

e: The install via update on my new Thinkpad X250 has repeatedly failed giving me error 80240031. I've tried a few different things from turning off all my AV software to updating the BIOS but I don't seem to be having much luck. Anyone else get that? Worst case I'll just go pick up a flash drive for like five bucks tomorrow but it would be nice to not even have to bother with that.

What you get from the free upgrade isn't a retail license.

I think they're more asking if they already have a retail license they could register on a new mobo?
