On one of my PCs where I want to continue using Windows 7, I have installed the GWX Control Panel:

Thanks. Looks like the group policy is working even if the WU now always shows W10 logo and "Downloading Windows 10" while it downloads W8.1 updates. Something must be messed up

Can't remember the article I was reading but from a well known site, and the fastest growing market is the 2 in 1 hybrid market which gives people the convenience of a tablet, but the useability of a laptop.

For sure, not power machines, but for a lot of domestic use, quite adequate.

Sounds about right, had enough with technology over the last couple of days to be honest. Seems like anything technology based is behaving strangley even my poor PVR. Washing machine tomorrow

Not my type of thing, but then I am not that fond of tablets, mine stays on the table most of the time. But we are all different.

The trouble with hybrids being they never excel at either function.

But within reason they excel at Excel

TH2 is finally here. You can download it using media creation tool. You have to download a new media creration tool - the old one will not work.

If you hover a cursor over the mct listing in file explorer, it tells you it is for version 10586.

61% downloaded!

Now running TH2 - update very smooth

Couple of interesting points

1) media creation tool now does not come in 32 or 64 bit version - just a single version

2) iso download is multi-version home/pro

messages clearer now.

worked perfectly

TH2 feels snappier, looks better.

Is there a link for the new media creation tool?

Still not on windows update yet (do it that way initially probably do a restart completely using creation tool)

Thanks...

Thanks Mon

On Windows update, downloading now

Note that MCT is now correctly detecting the original Install Language, which is necessary to keep Apps, Files and Settings (instead of Keep Nothing)


The MS Blurb says you can check Install Language by going to Settings > Time & Language or Control Panel > Region.

However, I believe this to be incorrect. That displays Locale, your local regional keyboard and language settings.


Small point, but it matters for downloading the correct iso.

My systems are en-US but my locale is en-GB (hangover from being on Insider Previews)

Others who have bought their computers abroad may be affected.


Install Language is correctly listed by 3rd party Belarc Advisor

Updated an old bios laptop, a modern eufi laptop, and a Linx8 tablet today. All went smoothly without any hitches.

So far, the update looks really good, feels snappier and I do not think I will even have to do a clean install on any PC.

I recommend using the media creation tool rather than via windows update mechanism, based on my good experiences today (to be fair I have not tried the insitu upgrade but based on experiences of 10240, I did not even want to try).

Went with the Windows update today, on my desktop, took about 20 minutes. No problems so far.
My laptop failed with the WU method, so I'm upgrading via the Software download now.

still nothing here

Weird - my desktop showed KB3106246 available but the download took seconds and then nothing happened.
My laptop shows up to date - nothing to download.

oppps wrong thread lol

It's probably going to be a staggered release then, there are probably hundreds of millions of people hitting refresh right now lol

Done the upgrade via the upgrade tool. I'll likely do a clean install at one point again

Do it manually (more reliable anyway).

Both machines done one with update other with creation tool. Both worked fine.
Got a brand new, still in the box, HP laptop to update in the next couple of days. Hopefully all will go well with that.

This supports generally what is being seen on other forums i.e. it seems as before with 10240, the MCT is the more reliable installation method.
