Microsoft Rolls Out the Windows 10 Anniversary Update
Microsoft late Tuesday rolled out the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, marking 1 year in the market for the operating system, and with it, ending the Windows 10 Free Upgrade offer. The new update bears the internal version 1607, with build 14393. The update is several gigabytes in size, and effectively replaces your existing Windows 10 installation.
The update adds new features to Windows Ink, the stylus-based live notes app; Cortana, the voice assistant, which can now be accessed right from the lock-screen, and is integrated with even more apps; and Windows Hello, the in-built biometric ID system, which has been integrated with many more third-party services, such as Dropbox; improvements to Windows Defender, the anti-malware tool; and various under-the-hood improvements that increase performance and energy-efficiency (lower battery usage).

But now I have a damn Windows Defender icon stuck on my taskbar again. Time to get rid of some of that crap.I hate the new start menu, but then I hated the old new start menu as well... :P
You can initiate the update now like this:

Fwiw, you're not even a customer. You didn't bought Windows, you merely bought a license to use Microsoft's product. You're a licensee (just like everybody else).
Stop the elitism and suck your thumbs, good little boys.
P.S.
Upgraded within 10 minutes with no issues, it seems.
Simply put, Microsoft should stop filling my SSDs full of shit and should just ask me if I want to upgrade because this kind of behavior is simply unacceptable. It's one thing to install updates without you knowing, it's another when it tries to install despite not having enough space.
it download the full installation image for a source saved in Windows~ws and $windows.~bt or %ESD if you used the media creation tool
AND backups \windows as windows.old and archives the old install and registry hives (about 20 to 30gb )
its not the updaters fault you run your drives to the point of having no available space
and RSL1 is not a optional update its flagged as critical
you can free up the space by running disk-cleanup
Secondly, after authentication complete, it just exits without any messages or errors.
Unbelievable!
Simply put, you can do some simple math to figure out how much disk space is required to do said backups and I don't think you're explanation excuses the laziness from actually doing the work to figure out if it can run. I had 30GB free on my 240GB SSD RAID (which is actually 210GB formatted,) so yeah, I fill it up because 210GB isn't much and for that reason, I would like to get a 512GB drive but, that doesn't change the fact that it shouldn't have tried in the first place. So stop making excuses for lazy developers.
off topic: what kind of read/write you get with your raid? is it worth it over a single 240 drive?
Arguements like I'm witnessing here are born out of complete ignorance, and are the precise reason identity theft is at an all time high... :shadedshu:Licensee's ARE customers.
