Default Build 10174 wanted

I'm stuck on build 9926 in the last weeks. Already tried settings fast and
slow, waited nearly 4 hours but got nothing. What should I do to upgrade to
new build?

Hi James,

I think you mean 10074. Get 10074 from

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...so-update-1504

Tx T. Should I delete the previous build and install the iso or is that an
update to run over the existent build?

Hi James,

I would. Depends on if you have anything you want on the old build.
You should not be using a "preview" for anything dear to you
anyway.

Hi James,

See how it goes with the upgrade. You might get lucky.
If not, you can always wipe and start over.

Let us know how it goes so we can learn from your experience.

I always wipe my previews as I want 6to start over with a clean
slate, and quiet frankly, I go out of my way to try and mess
things up, although M$ does that fine all on its own, so I can
can learn how to handle them. I once had two previews jammed
trying to install each other.

Without having tested all the permutations possible,
this is my guess at the options.

1) Upgrade install. Boot 9926, load the DVD (or ISO),
execute setup.exe off the DVD. The OS will be
updated, Windows becomes Windows.old (the old OS).
Using Disk Cleanup (cleanmgr.exe) you can remove
Windows.old when the upgrade style install is finished.

2) Clean install. Boot the new DVD. Either tell the
installer to delete the current partition, or create
a new partition. For example, I have 9926 and 10074 as
a "dual boot". When I did (2), I created a new partition
for the second OS. One of the OS boot managers, creates
two icons in the boot manager window for you. Only
trouble is, the icons look identical. To stop that,
after your dual boot 10074 install is finished, run
cmd (using the "Run As Administrator" option), and
from there do:

bcdedit /set {current} description "Win10 TP 10074"

If some day, you find yourself stuck booting the same
OS over and over again, disabling hibernation is one
way to "fix" that. While there is a "complete shutdown"
option around somewhere, I do this so I don't have
to look it up :-)

powercfg -h off

One reason I love the "hibernate off" option, is I don't
leave these modern OSes running for very long. Usually
the modern OSes are on the "test machine" and I don't
keep stuff between sessions.

HTH,
Paul
