Using this tool, Windows 10 you can either create an ISO or do the in-place upgrade. You'll have that option after downloading the small file and running it.
I suggest having an image backup first, but that's just me.

Just installed Gmail with no issues.
Same here. Play anything was like that for a while. Even G+ was acting weird....CONSPIRACY XD
Microsoft has a love hate relationship with Google. On one hand they make royalty cash from every Google device sold and on the other had they would love to bury it.
I doubt that's even the issue here. Think back to when Chrome first came out (if you used it back then). There were TONS of sites that didn't work on Chrome. They'd either recommend Firefox or IE. I get the feeling this is a similar issue. It's not that Google's done anything to block Edge, it's that Edge doesn't have something needed in its coding to work on those sites.
People who use Google services aren't going to just not use them so they can use Edge. We're going to use Chrome instead. Even if only for those services.
But Edge was built brand new from the ground up, so it stands to reason that it won't have all of the bits and pieces necessary for everything you may want to do with a browser these days.
Time will tell, but I bet we'll see these kinds of sites working fairly soon.
I didn't try Netflix on it yet. I would assume that'll work since it need Microsoft's Silverlight to function (unless something's changed. I don't watch Netflix on PC almost ever).

Just finished upgrading. So far looks nice. Haven't dug in too much. But what I need to work has worked well so I'm happy.

That's the kicker. It won't recognize my Win7 Home Premium nor my Professional version when I install Win7 from scratch to try to get to the upgrading process.
Which of the many ways to upgrade are you trying?
Going to take getting used to and tweaking settings (maybe I'm getting old, but I REALLY don't want to do/need more than to point at a shortcut and click to launch).
Plus the upgrade broke my internet...had to go into advanced settings to turn off proxy server (which MS recommended I have enabled).

Just saw a report that Windows 10 is now on 14 million machines.
I support nearly 600 computers for a lot of different companies, (90% on Windows 7 Pro), and I'm flabbergasted at the lack of interest from all but a handful of those. Maybe 3 customers out of around 50. And here I thought this would be a really busy week for me. That's what I get for thinking. 
Too many articles about the little bugs telling folks they should wait a bit? Or maybe the fact that the average person probably didn't even know 10 was coming out this week?

Yeah, not many corporate types would want to roll that update in the first few days...they'll wait months.
I updated my work laptop, and ONLY because I have another computer to use if I had issues and ONLY because the laptop I upgraded was having issues (still is...will probably factory reset, then upgrade to Windows 10, THEN do a clean install of Win10).
I wonder if the average user, such as myself, that is only half informed but has heard of the Vista fiasco then the Windows 8 that tried to morph the desktop into a mobile phone running the same os and having to learn things all over again, like every major update to Office? Just when I find it where the "print" option is MS changes the whole bloody system again. Perhaps they're thinking "I'm fine with 7, leave me alone. I've got work to get done and don't have time to schedule a class to relearn how to copy and paste"?I support nearly 600 computers for a lot of different companies, (90% on Windows 7 Pro), and I'm flabbergasted at the lack of interest from all but a handful of those.

One of the main reasons I wanted to upgrade is I love me some "widgets", and MS killed the gadgets sidebar in Win7 a while ago because of security issues (though one of my widgets continued to work).
Otherwise, I absolutely would have stuck with Win7. But I have a few older computers, one which I plan to use as a media center...so eventually I would have had to take advantage of the free upgrade. Going to have to learn Win10 on a new laptop, so might as well start adapting now.
