I'm taking the plunge mainly because I've had problems that need a reinstallation of 7, and those same problems seem to be preventing an In-place upgrade.
Two things I ask is how long the download should take on my ADSL2+ connection @ 8300 kbps sync (its been telling me download is starting sine 15:45), and where is the download directed to. Normal downloads go to Downloads folder, but i see nothing anywhere, bar Task Manager that tells me the download is running.
