From the time I checked for updates, until it was downloaded and
installed was about 3 1/2 hrs


I'm at 3% on the start-up installation screen. I love the "Sit back and
relax." Yeah . . . right :-(
Another favorite line is "Setting up a few more things." Kinda gives the
impression that it doesn't REALly know what it's doing ;-)



Yep, That bothered me too. I'd like to know what it is doing.


OTOH: At least there is now a progress report to the download status.


I've found that with all Windows updates, it's best to just set them to go, then walk away and do not even bother to
check for several hours.

Typically the thing I just let run overnight

Mine just finished the final reboot. Everything looks the same as before, except for the pinned programs on the taskbar
that I removed last time and today. Classic Shell still works as it did on the last build, so I'm happy about that. I
might turn it off for a while just to see what Win10 looks like natively again. I haven't used it too much yet, but so
far, same ol', same ol' :-)
Rats, and I was so hoping for some major changes to the UI.
I guess I'll turn mine on and load it and see what it's like. It's lunch time and I can let it run for a while then.

I set my option back to "slow"


My feeling is that there will not be be major changes

though I've seen reports that Win10 will require Uefi

I was reading a link from another group, and the comments seem to intimate
that UEFI won't be required except on new machines. If Win10TP runs fine on
your machine now, odds are RTM will, too. Wait and see, I guess. Still too
many fuzzy guesses for me :-) If I need a new machine, so be it. Good of an
excuse as any to spend my money LOL!!

I build my own machines from other people's left-overs.

Last year, a friend of a friend was getting rid of a "quad core" machine
so I went over there to get it.

It was a single core P-4

He thought the "4" meant "quad"

You need an excuse? :-)

For me if it requires new hardware, I'm running 8.1 now and quite happy with my configuration and I'll just stick with
it. I'm hoping that the free Windows10 ISO will be available some day just like the 8 iso was made available. That
way I can get it but not do the upgrade till I have killed this laptop.

I could have given you a couple of MBs and AMD CPUs; I had them in the
closet for a few years until I recycled them :-) All my desktops are
upgrades, but with the price of newer machines, it's almost as cheap to go
that route than it is getting a new MB, CPU, and RAM. I have an Asus
m4n68t-m v2 MB with an AMD Phenom II x4 965BE 3.4GHz CPU as my main PC. It
has Win7 HP x86, and runs just fine for anything I need to do on it.

Win10TP is on my Acer laptop (V3-731), and has two HDD- one for Win10 x64
and the other for Win8.1Pro x64. It runs both OSs very well, and I use it
for travel, some gaming, and live streaming of sporting events when I can't
get them on TV. Works great :-) I worked IS/IT for 20 years before retiring,
and still have to try new stuff, like Win10. It's going to have to be one
helluva OS for me to dump my Win7 PC, though :-)

I repair machines for a local NPO and refurbish donated computers.

At present I have plenty of fairly decent P-4's as spares.


They got Win7 licenses from Tech Soup and I now can say all XP machines
have been phased out.


I need to keep current in my knowledge though.

So far I've only seen one person who liked Win8

My experience is similar, installing the update can best be described by one
word: Agony.

Hi All,

I am still on 9926 and wuapp.exe "check for updates" tells
I am up to date. Huh.

In Advanced (wuapp), I changed to "Fast" download build
options, pressed "check for updates" again, and now I
am downloading something large called "fbl_impressive 11041
Professional"

Hmmm. My download of 11041 is sitting at 0% and there is
no Internet traffic. Okay, I will restart tomorrow and
see what happens.

In the process of looking for updates, I forced a
reboot in the middle of some update. After reboot.
wuapp told me the update had been "interrupted" and did
I want to restart the update. I did and it did. I
have seen something like that bugger up w7, especially
with Dot Net updates. I was impressed.

-T


And when I went to shut down, I was told that wuapp was
preventing my shutdown and I told it to do so anyway.

Hmmm. I gave me wuapp's icon, but not its name. That
needs improving, especially since the icon is a "generic"
icon.

Be fun to see how this thing recovers tomorrow. Put
a wuapp shortcut on my desktop





From the time I checked for updates, until it was downloaded and
installed was about 3 1/2 hrs

Hi Philo,

Great Tip. Thank you!

I have a bunch of non-computer office work today, so I will
just let ti run and run and run.

I can apply Windows updates normally but there is no "new build" option

I was in receipt of build 10041 this morning through Windows Update.

The only problem I'm experiencing so far is no Mail, Contacts or
Calendar
was installed along with it as being operational. All I get for theses
apps
when clicking on the related tile is no action and the tile has no usual
graphic and app name. From what I've seen, some of the files exist in
the
specific folders for these apps, but they refuse to function as merely
brings up a window wanting me to select the requisite program to open
but
the official app is non-existent.




Yep

tried later in the day and I am installing 10041 now


Any sign of an ISO?



Not that I saw

'en_windows_10_pro_10041_x64_dvd.iso' was posted to my FTP site this
morning so it does exist.

there is still no choice.

I wonder if they will keep this up on the general release
of are they just trying to make sure us previewers are
all on the same preview?

Sounds like the mandatory updates will be pushed down our
throats though.

But that will put business at all the same disadvantage as
they will all crash at the same time.

There is a reason why "Patch Tuesday" is also known as
"Black Tuesday".
