Windows 10

[Madmya]

Wooo!

[itch]

Wait a second what folder are we looking for? Madders help me.

[Madmya]

That folder at the very top that I've screenshotted: C:\$Windows.~BT

It's a hidden folder, as Jizz stated.

[itch]

Oh I checked control panel -> windows updates, says it'll let me know when it's ready. Guess it's staggered to some degree.

Incidentally, how large is that folder for you, for me it's 140mb

[Madmya]

I was about to use command prompt to force it, but I decided to let Windows Update check for updates one more time (after installing all of the prior Windows 8 updates) and then voila - it started.

Edit: Ah well I'd typed it, may as well keep it going. 140MB for me too.

[jizzlobber]

Yeah mine was at 140mb last night just after it started, it must count in chunks... This morning I was at almost 6gb from memory.

Surface 3.

Thanks guys.

I noticed that I have a few Windows 8 updates in my backlog. I'll get those and then see how we go.

[itch]

Hey guys,

[Madmya]

It'll be finished downloading soon. Was 2.7 GB for those playing at home.

[jizzlobber]

Still can't install without work around by the looks of it though.

Hope its ready by the time I get home from work

[itch]

Yeah mine hasn't done anything either. What's the workaround?

Just got home, my s3 is updating

[itch]

Hmm I tried that and got this

Sigh.

This is because I activated a pirate copy isn't it?

[Madmya]

Yeah mine has downloaded, $Windows.~BT is sitting at 5.49 GB... but it hasn't asked me to install yet. I saw that same message itch and I'm on a legit version, I just did the updates it wanted (I think it was Skype and Windows Defender) and then hit the check updates button again and I'm now on a 'You're set to automatically install updates' screen.

I will miss C:\$Windows.~BT, what a hero of a folder.

[Madmya]

Hmph, I've just noticed this:

[itch]

Tried a few 'fixes' for those errors.

Now I'm getting error code '8024A000'.

Over it.

[jizzlobber]

I'm never this lucky, seems everyone is scrambling to get workarounds happening but it's just working for me through Windows updates

I'm currently downloading the .iso from here:

[itch]

Oh really thanks madders, any idea which one I should get I'm thinking x64 pro.

[jizzlobber]

Righto I'm all done, posting this from the edge browser... now time to look around!!!

[itch]

Grats buddy

[Madmya]

That's the one I'm getting itch.

[jizzlobber]

So far I'm really digging this, it looks and feels real slick, there's a theme with green accent and a tent on the start screen, looks awesome.

Would love a swype style app for the on screen keyboard though

Anything you'd recommend doing to prepare for the update? Did you have to reinstall or lose anything?

[Mavy]

Pretty good so far. They've really fixed a lot of the tablet/desktop stuff with continuum. No access to the desktop in tablet mode was a bit of a surprise.

My only gripe so far is the teeny tiny app list for accessing everything else that's not pinned. Why is this so small and also the same in Tablet Mode? Searching is now the main way of accessing apps. Hope you remember what is on your computer and what it's called.

Everything else is awesome so far.
