so far liking it alot. anyone have high def wallpapers. with new os comes a new wallpaper and the stock wallpapers are garbage.
 
anyone with windows 7 successful with this cmd prompt trick? I've tried like 10 times at this point and it still comes back with "No installable updates are available"
 
Did the Reddit thing of deleting the Download folder and it worked for me. My previous $Windows.~BT folder was 5.8GB and it downloaded the whole thing this time. It re-downloaded and did its thing inside Windows Update. Restarted itself and it's currently at 92% of upgrading.

1. Go into "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" and delete everything in that folder.
2. Now, run the command prompt as an administrator. Type in "wuauclt.exe /updatenow".
3. Go to your Control Panel > Windows Update and your Windows 10 should start re-downloading from scratch, hopefully without flaws this time.[/QUOTE

Edit: I'm in Texas so this should work for other Central time people.

I was in the same spot as you and I just did that.

Currently downloading via Windows Update... Let's see how it goes!

i did it on windows 7 didnt work off the bat but i managed to figure it out
 
I used the method on Reddit, which got it to download but it kept failing when it went to install.

I used the tool to make the install.esd into a bootable iso file, mounted it, and installed from that just fine.
 
im on Windows 8.1 and i tried doing that reddit trick but nothing is happening. The windows update screen does say that Windows 10 is reserved.. it doesn't seem like anything was downloaded to begin with,
 
For those that have installed can you confirm that your version of windows activated?

I made an ISO and installed it with a format on one of my Preview systems and it activated. It asked for the key twice during installation and I just skipped it. The system shows as activated.

Yeah mine just says it is reserved, but nothing has downloaded and I'm not seeing anything added to my Windows folder

So close :(

I had to check for updates and then, once that was finished, use wuauclt.exe /updatenow in the command prompt while the update window was up to get the download to trigger.
 
so if i have the $windows.bt folder thing but it still says it's reserved and windows update hasn't tried installing it--i just have to wait?
 
Used the Reddit trick. Running Windows 10 now :). Everything is running smoothly. No issues. Seems to be a lovely OS. My 3DMark FireStrike score went up by 3 points!!!11
 
Did the trick of deleting SoftwareDistribution\Download after 3 errors, now it's downloading REALLY fast.

What error? Mine said it "couldn't find boot.wim

Error code: 0x8007002"

I'm wondering if it's still downloading (I have no way of knowing if it is) or if the download got corrupted or what.

i clicked check for updates and did the command prompt at the same time and it seems like something was downloading but it ran into an error. i also tried the command prompt after checking for the update and that doesn't force the download either.
 
I had the same issue.

When fuck me. I never clicked on CHECK FOR UPDATES.

So retarded. Don't forget to do this :)

Windows 10 is now downloading woohooo!

Clicked on Check updates....still nothing. Has to be a PST time zone thing! Maybe come 9 PM, I will be successful? Or will I have to wait 3 more hours...only time will tell
 
Oh damn, I installed GeForce experience but it says no video drivers available for me.

Oh great, another hoop to figure out and jump.

Windows update should download the video drivers.

I keep getting errors though so I'm stuck at 1024 x 768 right now which is really annoying.
 
It seems that my C drive does not have the system partition on it, and it is for some reason on my other drive which is on its way out.
When I upgrade to 10 will it put the system partition on the C drive?
