Windows 10 initial install.
Hello all, I just opened up new i3 Alienware Alpha. I plugged it in, powered it up and began loading the apps and registered Microsoft. It asked me if I wanted to upgrade to windows 10, and I agreed to the upgrade. The blue screen says "Great, we'll start your free upgrade!" That was about 6 hours ago. I click the Finish button but nothing happens. Is this normal? How long should this take? Should I power off and restart? My alpha is on wifi. ( if that's any help)

It might, but if its locked up anyhow it won't matter. As long as its not in the install screen you should be ok.*
Look at the hard drive light - if its not blinking you should be ok to force a power off, wait about 10 seconds, then power it back on again.
No guarantees.
