Saw this on another forum I frequent but since I don't have 10 I wasn't concerned.  🙂

Good info for those who do Charles.

Sad to say the upgrade/update has failed 2 times on my Gen4 like most updates from MS, I dont know why the Gen4 is so unreliable for MS updates, I switched to a Gen 3 HN9000 system and its completely downloaded and is installing now

MS server response time ?
Who knows, but we are already buried in "where is my data going" user complaints.
Missfires on updates will cause a near riot.

Updating just fine here, though I have clocked over 1GB for the update to download, and it's only at 37% downloaded... Bleh...

Bill, you can force the upgrade to download by using the media creation tool...  Of course you cant automate it, has to be manually ran.

[CharlesMcCool]

Just turn you computer during the anytime period and back on only during the bonus period.

[CharlesMcCool]

Yep this cause a BIG problem

not sure what it is but looks cool. lol

Heres another useful tool if your running windows 7 and sick of the windows 10 popup in the taskbar and trying to automatically download, I just installed for a friend and it works great.
