take to upgrade any computer. It's different for different computer and maybe the time of day you are doing it. But you could maybe save a little time by download and create you windows10.iso first. In fact, one download but make 2 .iso, one for you and one for your friend.
You just need to set aside a few hours and do the upgrade. If you start taking shortcuts, it could corrupt the install. The length of time depends upon the number of programs you currently have installed and the computer.
The longest upgrade here was on a netbook like tablet. It had pretty low specs like dual core celeron, 2GB RAM, 32GB storage (unsure if it's SSD but is solid state) and it took 2 tries since I had to watch carefully the questions so the 500GB HDD in the keyboard would be used during the install. Time? 4 hours? TL;DW. (too long, didn't watch.)
Another was a high end machine with the i7, gobs of ram and SSD. It was done in 30ish minutes.
The time to upgrade will depend on your hardware and internet connections, I spent about about an hour.
