You'll have to do the reddit trick

https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/3exx29/preload_windows_10_if_you_dont_have_the_folder/

Make sure you read the first comment. You have to delete some files. Worked for me and fixed that error.


I am having the same problem but I found this. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-update-error-80246007#1TC=windows-7
Still preparing for install Ill let you know if it worked. Worth a shot at least. I just ran the windows update troubleshooter btw.

shit.

I'll wait until 9PM, otherwise I Might as well go the ISO route. Thanks guys.
 
Nvidia control panel broken for anyone else? won't come up

Try updating drivers through windows update to 353.62 Nvidia drivers.
When i installed Windows 10 i guess i had old drivers, i didnt check which version they were but my Control Panel wouldnt open, when i finally got the latest drivers it started working again.

I dont know if its Win 10 or Nvidia fucking around.
 
used the tool to force the update, took over 1 hour, and its slow. reset my display setting and can't even find nVidia control panel to sort it out. This system display does not have 1080p

Give it a moment and Windows will automatically install an nvidia driver. You'll pop back to your previous Nvidia settings. Worked for me, but still no control panel.
 
Forced the update with media tool. No idea why I'm so eager to do this. :P Anyway, using a USB flash drive boot method worked perfectly. 10 is installed and after one more restart, everything seems to be working great.

Will try out some games tomorrow and see what happens.
 
So I have Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. But only one PC at the moment.

If I install from USB/DVD do I just input my Windows 8 or 8.1 key to activate and that's them upgraded to Win 10 keys?

you must first upgrade windows 7/8/8.1 to 10 on first attempt. this must be done so windows can covert your key as part of the free win 10 offer for the first year. then if you choose to clean install i believe your key is tied to your ms account, where it will activate once you sign in
 
Done installing. So far I'm extremely pleased. I might even use Edge as my default browser now. I really like that it comes with a "dark" theme.
 
Was anybody from Europe already able to install via the autoupgrade tool. It's 10.30 am here and still nothing.
 
Update says I'm up to date. First thing I tried.

I'm on 353.62

Weirdly enough, GeForce Experience works just fine. But no control panel.

Nvidia drivers were broken on my upgrade. I had no acceleration on first boot up. Noticed in uninstall programs menu that the win 7 drivers were still installed. Couldn't uninstall then either. Tried to get new drivers from Nvidia website but it said newer drivers were installed. Then I notice windows update failed to install Nvidia drivers. A few reboots later and check for updates it installs from windows update.

On fresh install a driver is installed but I have no control panel or GeForce experience menus. Will investigate.

Nvidia messed up the driver versions. Somehow they named them in a way that forced win 10 to install older drivers instead of newer. People had problems with resolution and 2nd monitor's because of this. But by now new drivers should be up and win 10 should install them automatically,but they only take effect after a reboot.

Windows did this for me but they were messed up. I highly recommend downloading 353.62 for anyone after the upgrade to 10 and using the clean install option, just to be sure.
 
Wow. Just went onto Guild Wars 2 with Windows 10 to test out the recording and screenshot capture. I'm really impressed with how easy it is.

All I need to see is an update that adds streaming (unless it's already in there? Didn't see it), and it would be awesome. Hate having to use 3rd party programs.

ok so it seems like the windows update work. i had to search for it and it had my driver. seems like its 1080p. for those with issues about the display, check windows update
 
I'm rocking dedicated sound cards on both my machines for dolby live so I will be waiting.

If you have specialised hardware of any kind i would recommend researching whether there have been any drivers made available for 10 and how stable they are.

If you use one of these soundcards and uni xonar

Asus Xonar: DG, DGX, DG SI, DS, DSX, D1, D2, DX, D2X, HDAV, HDAV Slim, ST, STX, Xense, STX II.
Other C-Media CMI8788 audio chip based cards: Auzentech X-Meridian & X-Meridian 2G; HT Omega Claro Plus, 2, Halo, eClaro;

Notes about Windows 10 Technical Preview builds and Windows 10 RTM compatibility (updated 5 Jun 2015)
UNi Xonar drivers above v1.64 will work in Windows 10 TP but since the drivers are not made for Windows 10 there could be some issues depending on Windows builds and audio settings used. Different drivers could work differently so if you encounter any issues try installing the other UNi Xonar versions.
Due to changes within each Win10 TP build, the very slow development of the audio drivers by C-Media and the long time it takes for C-Media partners (ASUS, HTOmega) to release the new drivers, it may take a while before we have a 100% compatible driver for Windows 10, this could take up to 2-3 months after the RTM release of Windows 10. I will release new UNi Xonar drivers package as soon as new drivers became available.
 
Denmark here. The auto-upgrade program didn't do anything new. I just went into Windows Update and launched the install.
Yup, same here (Sweden). Had to install an update from yesterday, after that the option to upgrade to W10 was in Windows Update. Took approx. 1,5 h for an upgrade.

Ok thanks. Trouble is, I don't remember which key this install is so I guess I'll be staring at a couple of Windows installers lol
 
So is there easter eggs to get Cortana to say stuff? Otherwise she seems to just google stuff.

I believe you have to set her up, give her permission if you didn't already during the install, and have a mic. Don't think she talks at all unless you've done that.
 
tried mounting the .iso and installing that way, but the cd key for my OEM windows 8.1 [came with my new PC] isn't working... :/

Of course not. First your win 8.1 key has to be changed into a win 10 key. For this to happen you need to upgrade win 8.1 to win 10. And only now you can do a fresh install (reset) from win 10.

Your win 10 key should be now linked with your Microsoft account and win 10 should be able to get it automatically. BUT I wasn't able to check that myself so this might be false.

I managed to get her to say that she thought John was nice for a biologically augmented super soldier.
 
Let me get this straight. In order to do a clean install:

1. Upgrade Win 7 --> Win 10
2. Download Win10.iso
3. Install normally using the .iso, activation will happen automatically

Correct?
