I mentioned, 10162 iso failing to install, on another thread, for my Main laptop.
I've now wasted most of today getting it installed as an Update/In-place Upgrade on Laptop2 Clean installled and activated W7 SP1U without problem Windows Update didn't work. Fixit and Troubleshooter no use. So couldn't install from any Tray Icon MS W10 Online Upgrade page now only says "Run Update from Tray Icon" In-place Upgrade from USB Flash fails after the Installer has had a root around for a few minutes. Unknown error/Uninformative message Copying USB Flash to spare partition on main drive and it magically decides it will do the In-Place Upgrade from there without a murmur of complaint I hope the majority of the Billion new customers don't get the aggro I have had over a simple job The Insider Clarification, mentioned earlier, certainly seems to be anything but. |

See on the 29th July, the Universal Microsoft official Office apps will be available for Windows 10 in the store and free for PC and mobile.
They will be full touch version and be the same as we have now on Android and iOS phones or tablets. Been using these myself and they are excellent and Im a heavy personal/work user of word/excel/onenote and powerpoint. So no more need to have the desktop win32 paid 365 version of office or libre office installs. |

So come October, when we get the next big update, it will be named TH2. |

I'll probably wait until 10.1 or the first service pack to come out, which will address many of the initial problems. I am happy to let others find the bugs and other usability issues first, and wait for Microsoft to fix them.
My Windows 7 and 8 boxes work fine at the moment, and as I rely on them heavily for my work and therefore my income, I will only upgrade once I am certain there will be no issues. Will probably upgrade to 10 just before the upgrade deadline runs out - assuming most reviews are favourable. By then the worst of the bugs and security vulnerabilities should have been ironed out. |

Not read through all the thread but whats the opinion of those who have installed it?
I'm on 8.1 and reserved a full install but am always hesitant about these upgrades. When i went from 8 to 8.1 i couldn't get one or two applications to open again. Eventually found 8.1 had altered them to run only in XP!! ![]() I reset it and they worked.

Yes, TH = Threshold.
So come October, when we get the next big update, it will be named TH2. Not really seeing what the problem would be...

As MS now have a programme of continuous improvement and new features applied through updates. There are always going to be updates to the system and features.
Not really seeing what the problem would be... ![]() This new approach of Microsoft seems similar to that used in the past by mainframe manufacturers. As I remember ICL released a new version of VME every year and supported the previous release for 12 months to allow user sites time to upgrade. I don't know if IBM did the same. |

So, as well as the 'no going back' there is an enforced 'ever forwards', even if it feels like a downward spiral for the user. |

It never happened on the version before, it was a change that MS did.

I thought the forced updates was only going to be with the home version.
While looking I also found that the final version is still on the Insider programme. You will need to click 'Stop Insider Build' in advanced update options. It just says 'Thank you for participating in the Insider programme', no sign of it reverting back to anything. |

That is consistent with what Microsoft said. Systems enrolled in the insider program will stay in the insider program unless manually stopped.
Also, 10240 doesn't look like it's the 'final' version. Gabe Alu blogged on Wednesday that 10240 is "...one step closer to what customers will start to receive on 7/29" Personally, I am leaving my Laptop on the Insider loop for at least another month just to see what's happening. |
