Hi Guys,

I have 296 bells. I wouldn't be desparate except that I scheduled a trip to visit my daughter and will be gone for a week starting mid-week, so I'm trying to get the pyramid before I leave because I don't think I will have enough time when I return.

RE:  Windows 10. It takes a long time to install Windows 10 on a computer already running an earlier version of Windows. Even with the stealth download process MS used to download the files, I think it took most of an evening and then overnight.

You want the latest build often referred to as the November or 10586 build. I would make sure that you are getting that build before you upgrade. This game does not work with the build that was released in July. The 10586 build has been removed from Tech Bench, which is where you could go if Windows Update was not automatically downloading it. The problem was that Windows Update was only downloading the Home version of the 10586 build not the Professional. Since the Professional version costs more and is usually the versions loaded in enterprise locations, Microsoft pulled the update.

You can still get the 10586 build using the Media Creation Tool and it looks like it really worked well more me. It looks like the Media Creation Tool was designed for IT departments and there was some discussion of product keys and how to obtain one if you didn't have one. That is what made me nervous. My product key is for Windows 8 and I wasn't sure if it would be accepted it. In the end, the update did not request my product key and everything worked smoothly. Once again it took an evening and overnight to completely install.

Be aware that when you set up Windows 10, it will ask you for a email address that you use often. It is actually tying your Windows account to that email. I made the mistake of using my work email and now I have to figure out how to tie it to a different account. I used my gmail account for my laptop, so that is not a problem, but Microsoft will not let me tie my desktop that email address now.
