Xernicus Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Happy Windows 10 release day! Are you planning on giving Microsoft's latest OS a shot?I wasn't expecting to get it today, but lo and behold, after doing some work with SFC, SFCFix, and rebuilding/repairing some Windows Update manifests, I saw a little surprise in Win Update.

Leader RedBaird Posted July 29, 2015 Leader Posted July 29, 2015 I signed up for the Insiders Preview and downloaded it but didn't try to install it in a VM until three days ago. The ISO I wrote to disc twice was corrupted! MS had quit downloading them by then, so i had to use an RTM I found elsewhere. That means that they never got any feedback from me. Did you run a Win10 preview? Maybe that's why you're getting it now and not me (yet). BTW, Xernicus posted at 4:10am our time on the West Coast USA. He is just a "hoot and a holler" from Redlands, compared to the rest of us. Quote

Xernicus Posted July 29, 2015 Author Posted July 29, 2015 The upgrade went flawlessly. (Posted using Microsoft Edge ) Quote
meow Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 My windows 10 update would always fail when checking for updates..I had to run CMD as admin and "wuauclt.exe /updatenow" to start the download. Quote
meow Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I've just upgraded to Windows 10. Seems fine so far. But I was on Windows 7 before...these damn squares are visually annoying Quote
Vanaraud Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Is it worth upgrading from windows 7? After a year has passed or so, yes... gtx980ti ftw 1 Quote
Levi Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 I'm still waiting on reserve for my update. lol. Quote
Leader RedBaird Posted July 30, 2015 Leader Posted July 30, 2015 Uhoh, my little "win 10 upgrade" icon has disappeared from my notification area! Does that portend a download soon or have they forgotten about me? Quote
Ann!b@l Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Uhoh, my little "win 10 upgrade" icon has disappeared from my notification area! Does that portend a download soon or have they forgotten about me? 1. delete all and only the content of the folder "Download" following this path "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" 2. run the prompt command as Administrator and type this "wuauclt.exe/updatenow". 2 Quote
Jobba Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 I installed it, and hated it. I'm going to switch to Mac. Quote

Yeah I did similar to what Ann!b@l mentioned to get the update. Quote
