Did you notice a progress bar or just the spinning animation?

I haven't had a chance to do it yet, but as far as i know it's just a spinning animation.

A neowin commenter said:

Done Update.
They really need a progressbar for the download and the install.
The Animated wait icon is useless. But for reading the forums I would have thought it had hung.

I started watching a spinning thingy then just left it to its own devices and came back to find it done. Similar to 8.1 upgrade.

Is anyone using multiple monitors and noticed that using windows key and the arrows does not work across them?

Aparently this has been addressed in the latest build. Ctrl+shft arrow moves windows between screens. Im still updating, will test when its done.

Anyone running this on a high PPI (Extra Extra Large 250%) display settings? Are Resource Monitor and Device Manager still blurry?

I have installed the new build....it didnt take too long. Everything installed fine I love the new notifications thing they have added and the awesome Window effect they have added.

I did not get a progress bar, which I thought was really weird. I thought it was my internet connection being a bitch.

Im running 1920 x 1200 on both my screens. Neither of which are as crisp or clear as I had them in 8.1. New Nvidea drivers are currently downloading.

Nvidia has released drivers for Windows 10 Technical Preview already??

I have noticed when I click on the Wi-Fi icon on my taskbar (bottom right corner), it takes me to PC Settings > Connections, as opposed to the usual sidebar that would pop up.

Yeah, they said that joining wifi networks would be tricky, but that it is temporary.

Installed it on my Lenovo S10 netbook, working fine, except for one thing. Lots of programs don't want to open, I get an error about the resolution being a problem. And it's set to max.
Windows 7 worked 100% on there.

I find that if I run a manual Windows update the machine stays on the update screen saying it's installing until I reboot at which time the updates are installed. I'm running on a vm.

 

[Subways81]

I left the update running last night, came in this morning to find my machine powered off, booted up and got a message saying that the update install had failed and was rolled back... System Event log full of 7032 and 7031 errors. Will try again today.

Oooo, just discovered multiple desktops, yeah im slow on the uptake.

Neat "If you didnt know" Ctrl+Windows Key+left or right arrow = Quick Cycle between desktops

Paul Thurrott, sanguine MS-watcher who can't be accused of being a fanboi, is getting rather excited by Windows 10:

Windows 10 is the Most Audacious Release in the History of the Platform.
