Just downloading this thing. Lets see how this works..

I just hope it won't create a 3rd god damn recovery partition on my tablet. It already has 4 reserved partitions because the original one from Win8.1 wasn't enough and they had to make 3 more for some reason and I can't even remove them in disk management...

So what is the build version after this update?

the build version is 10586.. mine seems to now be running okay.. to be honest apart from different cortana icon everything seems exactly the same as it was.. i recon a few bugs have been quietly gotten rid of.. its probably a better reworked version of the original..

i cant see any other reason for a full 3.5 gig download and what amounts to a completely new install of windows..

Well if it was downloading then with my specs it could only mean their servers are getting overloaded. I will try again when I won't need the PC for some time...

Its a nice update., but its a big update. Boots in just a few seconds. Looks like theres a bunch of new settings and features throughout the OS. Only downside is it uninstalled my copy of CPUz, says it wont work no more..... but its OK because I needed to update it anyhow.

I was one of the guys that stuck with windows7 and hated windows 8, but windows 10 is a winner. Its a great OS.....anybody still on older OS's is missing out. The only negative thing is privacy concerns but thats the way everything is now....

I stand with FRANCE!!

I like wider context menus. Works better with the touch controls on my Windows tablet. Other than that, can't really see any other changes or performance increase.

Version 1511 (build 10586) really does feel like a complete, fully functional OS. This is the version that should have been the initial release to the general public, and not any of those previous horribly buggy builds. By doing it that way, Microsoft has once again alienated power users, IT managers, tech writers, and just about everyone else. I've seen articles advising against upgrading to Windows 10, free or not, because of the many issues and driver problems. Now everything works great, no more sluggish file explorer, no weird display problems, no crashes at all (so far). And my Logitech G510 keyboard volume roller now works perfectly (no beeping and display flashing!). Yes, Windows 10 wants to phone home on every keystroke or mouse click, by default, but if you dig deep enough you can (mostly) disable all that, and there are third party programs out now that can stop all of it (they say). All in all, I really like this version, and I'm staying with it this time as long as no bad problems show up.

I keep getting denied. I've downloaded the upgrade, via WU, and had it refuse to install thrice now. Gonna try this again one more time. Before going the Media Creation Tool route.

Wish me luck. :nutkick:


EDIT: "We're getting your PC up to date" it says...finally(after the 4th try). So we'll see how that goes.

that didnt work for me.. all i got was exactly the same version i already had.. i now have the update as doled out by MS.. but i cant see the slightest difference as regards normal usage..

i assume its a more mature less buggy version of windows 10 but apart from that i cant detect the slightest difference in anything..

it did remove my slightly out of date CPU-Z version but bless its little cotton socks it did replace it with the latest version.. something i had not bothered to do..

one thing i did notice that the old one never used to do was write home to mother when i had a not exactly unusual Farcry 4 game crash.. i noticed a steady stream of data being uploaded for about an hour while it monitored my system..

i am not really happy with MS having open access to my system or what amounts to total control if they want to use it but that is the way things have gone and little can be done about..

all my computers updated already without fault, except my main rig, the only one that I pimp and tweak a bit.
this pc i have tried ALL without luck. (inluding WinUpd repair tool, and whotnot. been to all win sites, seeing a LOT of people with problems...

Over 8 updatings all end with "something happened" or just boot back into old win10.

I get the same results when I run sfc /scannow on my main system with a clean install of build 10586. Although it's running great and no obvious problems. I have also gotten that result on a couple of Windows 8.1 systems, but never on my main system. It doesn't seem to affect anything, so I'm not going to worry about it. If you are still worried, you can probably dig into the log files and figure out which files are corrupt.

I've installed it since 2 days ago. Everything was smooth and seamless which is a good thing. The update takes a while, I didn't checked the time exactly, but it felt like 30 min, maybe more, on a fast internet connection and SSD.

Didn't notice much change after the update, there are few tile changes, maybe the most important is the Cortana one, which was not available in my region before (not that I care much about it). Boot time did improved significantly and shutdown is instant.

i managed to get rid of my "windows old"... had to use a linux on a usb stick thing i have to do it though..

for launching simple things like browsers.. email and stuff.. my linux fatdog 64 operating system all installed on an ancient 4 gig usb pendrive and loaded into system memory at start up is a lot snappier than the new windows 10.. he he..

i made a win 10 to go install on a fast usb (sandisk workspace) stick.. the mediacreation tool lets you do this just download the win 10 ISO and work from there.. and it activates it without any problem.. i am now wondering how to update that.. he he..

i will have to run it for while and see what MS does.. :)

I don't know why they simply don't use the service pack installer method, that always worked well.

Windows 7 for me already boots completely in under 10 seconds....

Well, the same here, except no SSD and a 4 years old Notebook. (which wasn't too bad back then though, i5, 4GB, with AMD 4550)

Overall, I quite like Win10, bar driver problems (including "you didn't ask for it, but we've just updated driver for ya!" from windows update)
