Mine went live around 1:45 for my non-preview laptop (but reserved).

接受(A) is accept.Ummmm... help.
I think there's a .65 out already.
Yikes, mine is continuing but hopefully it won't crap out due to files already having been downloaded to my surface and hose my chance. Guess we'll find out

What are the steps to clean install from that link? I just started downloading the iso.

Are you fucking kidding me
I did the same thing and kept getting errors in the windows update. I had to use the taskbar icon to trigger the install.
There was a .54, too.

I don't see this anywhere. .30 is the most recent on their website. Even searched beta drivers.
I did "upgrade this computer" from that tool and at the point of install it gives you the option to do a "fresh" install, deleting all files... at least on mine it did... have not tried it just saw it as an option.
Edit... if you don't want to use the ISO, there is a link a page or two back for how to clean install from iso

It isn't frozen, there are points where it takes a long time to progress. Total install took about 20 minutes on my SSD.

You can only get it through windows update, fixed the SLI issues I had
It would hang at 27% then the computer would automatically restart back to Windows 7

Totally depends on your computers spec, but I've seen it hang at a random percentage for over 45 minutes on my slower laptop.
Just let it do its thing. Keep the faith.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
Well I got Windows 10 running without a hitch so good luck everyone I'm going to bed now.

Just checked mine and I'm on the same version (353.62).
Nvidia must not be publishing them on their website and just pushing the updates through MS.
Yeah it sucks. I'm just downloading the ISO now. I read you can mount it in windows 8.1 and upgrade from there. So even if the $something folder is busted it should still work.

I appreciate that but I just can't win tonight. The tool has a problem recognizing SanDisk USB's

Am i the only one whose cpu is hitting high percents on idle? I don't have this issue with Win7.
Assuming you have a retail 7/8 key, google for "Sean Windows 8 SSD guide" and use the steps that apply.

wait, so i don't actually need to burn this .iso?
i definitely do not have a blank DVD around lol.
i can just mount this image and install?
actually?

Give it a bit to settle. It has to install all the updates in the background.
Mine normalized after a while (and a couple restarts)
My idle is now down to 2-4%

Yes, but that won't be a fully clean installation. Might not matter for you, though.

Nope. You need to update to 8.1 first.

How does this ruin anything? You don't need to do anything for it to update.
Yeah you can mount it (which is a default feature of windows 8.1).

Ok guess that means im waiting a bit
Well got Windows 10 on my desktop this morning and installed. (UK here). Had to do the "wuauclt.exe /updatenow" command after deleting files in the software distribution download folder, then on windows update, it had "Windows 10 is downloading" message then after it downloaded it had "preparing to install" which happened for a while. Not sure how long as I was trying the same things on my W7 laptop which I couldn't get W10 upgrade message to pop up. (At least got the "notify message for that.)
Anyway went back to the desktop upgrade message appeared, took a while to finish installing then was all done! Just had to restart a few times after that as 980Ti drivers and Geforce experience needed to be restarted to finish for some reason.
Funnily enough only reserved on my desktop a few weeks ago, (as it is new), and my laptop on the day they opened up reservations for W10. Might be a combination of newer components and/or having Windows 8 or 7 which determines the wave?
Only problem I had is Edge. I quite like the look of it actually. Only problem is when going to import favourites, Firefox wasn't an option for me. Only IE and couldn't see anyone else who had the same problem online so have to look again later.
Good luck to everyone else hoping to get it today!

I downloaded this tool and it offered me the option to upgrade this PC.
It didn't require any CD code for me.
It's installing right now =D

Downloading now.
Do you also have to manually turn off the setting that shares your WiFi password with other people? Guessing this is still enabled by default.

Well, the first installation you do needs to be an upgrade anyway doesn't it? To upgrade your license key.
Ok, I'm currently downloading that. I will end up with an .iso that I just copy over to a USB stick?
I'm guessing games will need updates to use DX12 though? Maybe new GPU drivers too?
