I hope so. Because if I am unable to get Windows 10 this problem could start all over again easily. I am having to go through all this to resintall Windows 8.1 because I had to revert to 8.0 because Windows 8.1 updates failed and made me have to revert back to 8.0 because it was stuck on a loop.
So it could happen all over again in 8.1 if I don't download Windows 10 immediately.
And then I still have the problem of whether Windows 10 updates will work after installing Windows 10

^^^Don't wanna get stuck on this loop whether it's Windows 8 or 10 ^^^

It's left a bad taste in your mouth...
Normally, this shouldn't happen.
Never had a single problem with win10 updates.

Except for that time when win10 decided "that's enough of that, I'm going to reboot to install this here update I want".
And keep in mind that I rarely shutdown windows... I merely hibernate, so everything is up and running when I turn it on. Call me lazy

That's normal for Windows though. I expect that. What I don't expect is:
"Oops update failed. But don't worry, I'll revert back to previous changes. You can just try again. Okay restarting. Update failed. But don't worry, I'll revert back to previous changes. You can just try again. AHAH! I CAUGHT YOU! TRY AND GET OUTTA THAT SUCKA WITHOUT REVERTING TO A PREVIOUS VERSION OF WINDOWS ALTOGETHER! AHHAAHAH! Oh wait okay I'll revert for you. Don't worry I was only joking. Just a bit of fun. It will all be fine once it has reverted, don't worry, just some of the updates got corrupted for absolutely no reason. All righty then: 187 updates to do. [10 million years later]. Okay installing them now [5 million years later]. Just setting up a few more things. Getting ready.... Okay update to Windows 8.1 again my friend  Yeah I know I'm stuck on 82% for four hours. I'll get there. Okay, speak of the devil, it's 83% now Okay so now.... it's finally 100% eh? We got there? We got there didn't we my friend. Okay bed time now, have fun on Windows 8.1? Good. Okay shut down your computer before beddy-byes. I'll just install a few updates. It'll all be fine now we got through this together. Oops update failed. Oops reverting changes. Ooops stuck in a loop again. Okay REVERT TO 8.0 AGAIN YOU SUCKA! YOU TRUSTED ME LIKE A FOOL AND SHUT DOWN AND TRIED THE UPDATES AGAIN WHEN YOU SHOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY DOWNLOADED WINDOWS 10 RIGHT AWAY! AHAHAHAHAHAH!"

I'm telling you, Windows 8 is about as trustworthy as Excited Penguin's claim that he recently converted to Christianity.

"Loves" is a bit much...
I like linux for work purposes.
My laptop only has windows. Came with it, paid for it, apparently, so... keep it... also, games! 
My Raspberry pi 2, at home.... is running Raspbian (a debian linux) and works like a charm. It's always, always always on, except when some circuit breaker trips.... -.-'

One reason I have installed and changed the minimum on my laptop, I trust the default settings that come with a computer... what I don't trust is myself fucking it up.
So I try not to touch anything. If I'm the computer equivalent of Homer Simpson I mustn't touch the big red button marked DO NOT PRESS to cause a meltdown.
So, it's really annoying when automatic updates fuck everything up when I've done basically nothing. All I installed was Skype, Spotify and Fallout 3.
