Hi All, I plan to purchase a new laptop with Windows 8.1. Then I want to upgrade it to Windows 10. But I have a problem. I live in India and I use 3G cellular link for my internet. It is slow and unreliable and often drops out. The Win10 upgrade download is about 3-6GB. There's no way I could download this without my 3G cellular connection dropping out at some point.

Question: If I click on the system tray Win10 Upgrade icon and start the download and the download fails in the middle, can I resume the download without data loss? Does the Win10 upgrade download make it possible so that partially download data is saved in case connection is lost? I need the ability to resume the download without losing data in case my internet drops out.

Anyone have direct knowledge about this? If not, does anyone know a good place or good forum to post this question? Thanks,
 
It automatically manages the transfer and resumes once the connection is available.

Also, not sure what experiences you've had but most common downloading already saves the 'in progress' chunks to your persistent storage anyway (ie, hard drive) :D

OK, thanks. If I'm not mistaken regular Windows Updates will resume where they left off (without data loss) in case of internet interruption. Is that true as far as you know? Thanks,

Also, just to make sure I understand, you're saying the Win10 Upgrade resumes the download from where it stopped? So if the connection drops at 50% downloaded, it will resume from that 50% point? Thanks,

That's what he is saying. "manages the transfer" was an odd choice of words.

Thanks for the confirmation. Now I'm more confident about being able to successfully download Win10 upgrade in spite of my crappy internet connection. Cheers,
