You need to install the "Upgrade for Windows xx" system. Where xx is the version of your system. Install them all from Important updates section.
Then you will see Upgrade to Windows 10.

I just realized that all this 'kibi', 'mebi', 'gibi' thing is more than 15 years old!!!
What is fascinating me is that IEC missed one tiny (but important) aspect of the subject...
'kilobyte', 'megabyte' and 'gigabyte' are measure units that has no meaning whatsoever(!) outside the word of computer industry/storage capacity...And inside that context it is! consistence (it is not consistence if we separate kilo/mega/giga from byte and put there something like gramm)...
So IEC decided to 'clear the air' with some dust ...
(I like to see that there are people out there that have the time for it - more like to see that this b*s didn't got into any stream...)

No, I'd agree with the IEC - it does make sense.
"Kilo", "Mega", "Giga", and so forth are prefixes with a specific meaning - which was established back in 1799 (during the French revolution!  ) which was and is "times 1000", "times 1,000,000"...
When we as an industry started using the terms in the 1950s (or so, I can't find an exact date for it) we abused the terms by using them for binary "times 100 0000 0000b", and so forth. The IEC was trying to correct that as the terms and usage became more common and more confusing in normal usage.
If nothing else, it hopefully stops disk manufacturers confusing the issue by selling disks and quoting the "times 1,000,000,000" size on the adverts and the os reporting a much, much smaller number of available bytes!

'kilo' and it's friends are not words (I think morpheme is the right term for that) by their own right, but only in context with the 'what'...So there is nothing to correct as nothing was wrong...
As for OS reporting less than you should expect - it is not that manufacturer didn't give you the exact size promised, it's only that the OS took its share ...

As I said - they are prefixes.

From my point of view, if IEC wants to clear the air about legacy confusion then they can change the stupid thermodynamic concept that emitting energy is a negative value. This junk idea was because it was set up by, essentially, boiler jocks who looked at it all from their now point of view (i.e., the system they were interested in lost heat).
Or don't they have the "nards" to take on a real problem?

At the same time, they can redefine electrons as having positive charge!

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

There is an automatic spam detector running, which is intended to catch the morons who try to post Baba, skin cream, illegal narcotics, forged passports, pills and creams I don't want to mention in a KSS forum, and a huge number of other adverts.
When it catches something (be it a message, a QA question, or an answer) it moves to a moderation queue so that a "real human" can look at it and decide if it's a valid post caught by accident, or a genuine piece of rubbish that needs shredding. But until an "appropriate member" has viewed the queue and decided, the item does not get published. That's what happened here: his message was trapped, and went to moderation, so it didn't appear. He assumed this was a mistake, and reposted it - which also went to moderation!
Hence if you look at S&A, you will see "Spammer from moderation queue" and such like, just listing a member - because the offending message was caught, and has been vaporised - and now we'd like the same to happen to the member, please!

Heck, I have to approve some of my own posts from time to time!

Only because I've been here a few years and I'm trusted a bit.
It'll come in time for you, I'm sure. Help around the site a bit, try not to annoy people too much, and wait for the invitation.
