You can force Windows to upgrade:

1) Navigate to: C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download -- Change the 'C' if you designated a different drive for your OS.
2) Delete -everything- in the folder. BAM! So shinyclean!
3) Open Windows Update and admonish it for being so lazy! (keep that window open in the background while you show it who is boss)
4) Open an administrator command prompt (right click, Open as admin blah blah)
5) Type this! : wuauclt.exe /updatenow
6) PROFIT! But for srs, Windows10 upgrade should start downloading. If you get an error (Mine was 'Unable to update, 80246010. Just start from step one again.)

I'm also running on Win10 now and it's sleeeeeeeek :3 XIV works perfectly! Might need a restart after the install finishes (Mine needed it for gfx driver), but other than that, it's been bliss so far. Happy upgradeeen!

Personally, I've taken that approach after finding it on the MS forum, but ended up not working and giving a different error. What got it going for me was downloading the Windows 10 MediaCreationTool (64bit for me) off the official site. It's just a straight up download and installation process of 10.

Working fine in windows 10 for me. Just I used to hit alt-tab to lower final fantasy as its full screen.
Now doesn't work for some reason.
Also parser is blocked by windows protecter so need to figure that out

Oh nice, I didn't know that was an option since my install worked on the second try ^^; Thanks for the info, I'll be sure to share that solution too!
