[dba-Tech] Little Windows 10 gotcha

[Dan Waters]

There is an option to download W10 as an ISO and get it onto a DVD.  If you are eligible for a free upgrade anyway, seems to me that someone could mail that DVD to you and you could just install.  Maybe there is a bug in that process but it perhaps it would work?
