Windows 10 Technical Preview - Insider Program

[faniebraai]

Yup, but it's done this on all of the updates.

hmmm, you might need a fresh install, that'd be my guess

My start button stops working as well as the search bar. Also, my sound cuts out after a while and I have to restart my laptop. Does this happen to anyone else?

Nope but my touchpad works when it feels like it. Then I have to use "touch screen" then that stops working and the touchpad works.

 

[Crossing_Swords]

Mmmh... So some have problems, others have none, I wonder why. I'll try the clean install path then.

Have you checked your updates, it keeps wanting to update my TouchPad, but it just deletes some files and then mine doesn't work either until I restart.

A poster in this thread has a lot of PCs to upgrade to Win 10, and is concerned about the cap it'll take.

Does anyone know if it'll be possible to just grab the upgrade on one PC and then distribute it through a network or something?

Just download the ISO same as the good old days.

One download, multiple installs.

I'm not sure about the 7/8>10 upgrade itself, but my understanding is that the client update engine will sniff out nearby PCs and grab updates from local machines so you don't have to use the WAN to pull them down. Waiting to see how this works.

Maybe Autopatcher will work?

Didn't autopatcher die with xp sp2?

Didn't autopatcher die with xp sp2?

Nope, still going strong.

 

[jacosmit]

I'll check it out later

It looks like while browsing menu system. However it raises the question:
Autopatcher repository server had been shutdown for security reason, why it is allowed to download patches from other unsecure sources?

Links will be made available when the upgrade is made available.

I wouldn't be surprised if the upgrade tool just downloads the ISO anyway.

From what I understood there was a tool to convert the upgrade download and make a USB drive from it.

Correct. Microsoft made a tool a long time ago that converts ESD files into ISO images for reinstalling the OS later. Very handy. Nlite can also convert the files.

Have any of you received a invite to the windows 10 launch event?

 

[HunterGR]

Quoting again, as this is important for everybody on metered connection (most of us). Be careful, as Microsoft employed torrents-type update system which can turn your PC into update server over Internet! There is an option you must turn off:
"Get updates from Microsoft, and get updates from and send updates to"
- PC on my local network, and PC on the Internet

How to get to this:

Settings -> Update & security (Well, only 9 icons, but this icon doesn't fit on 1280x800 screen, you have to scroll down!), go to:
Windows Update -> Advanced options (scroll down - again) -> Chose how updates are delivered

Just installed 10162 built on my main computer, it was delayed due to the hard drive space.
It doesn't activate anymore, keys are blacklisted. Switched to MS account, no difference, just it doesn't allow to enter a new key anymore.
However it has the same functionality and expiry date as activated copy - 02 Ocrober. So question is what a hell is a difference? Maybe Arthur will give us some idea?
