Why even bother with a USB stick? There's an "Upgrade now" option that just... upgrades. Now. You don't have to create external media to do this.
Ok, that's a shame.

Erase the content within the "C\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" and then try again. Worked for me.
What do you think I was using? :-|
I reset Windows and the download worked. Thanks man!

I'm going to wait until theres some dx12 content to at least play around with to upgrade.
I think UE4 4.9 is going to have some experimental stuff.

So my fresh install of win 10 refuses to sleep automatically. If I click on Sleep, its fine. Won't wake up till I move the mouse. But it won't do it automatically. I have it set to sleep after 20 mins in Power options. Disabled wake on LAN.
Anyone having any issues with that?

I'm not gonna go point by point over the article cause I'm on my phone atm. But that guy is having a ton of issues that I have not experienced on my yoga 2. The installation process is also just as painless as on my desktop.
trying to force an update but i keep getting this when I try to upgrade my PC:
Any ideas? The option for creating a bootable USB worked no problem.
Don't use that tool. Do this instead:

Why on earth did Microsoft think it was a good idea to have this media creation tool and not just outright offer an ISO for download? The entire purpose of the media creation tool is to create an ISO or use it to burn a DVD or copy onto a USB, all of which can be done by Rufus.
In fact, that's just what I did. I used that stupid tool to create an ISO then used Rufus to create a bootable USB. Worked flawlessly.

Yes, by default they are rolling it out in stages. You'll get another notification when you are ready to install.
However, if you are impatient, you can just force the install now. There are lots of articles and posts in this thread on how to do that if you want.
You're welcome bro!

Reinstalled nVidia drivers and everythings showing now.
Just wish I could figure out why the tiles wont work properly in the start menu.
Sick of having to restart just to get some to appear and some to remove.
Thought it was the nVidia drivers but its not.

Assuming you mean OneDrive, but what setting is that? I would definitely disable that if it exists

Windows 10 has been a complete let down for me. I have a Sony Vaio from 2013 that works flawlessly on Windows 8, but once I updated to Windows 10, the sound became super distorted, the touchpad failed to register right clicks or two finger scrolling, and text looks blurry.
It honestly feels like I downloaded a beta. Considering how long this OS was in insider preview, I wondering just what they fixed in this timespan. Big disappointment for me. I don't see why my (relatively) new laptop is having so many issues.

So the taskbar is stuck on both of my monitors? Can't find the setting for it like in Win7.
It lets you go to OneDrive.com and access any file on any of your computers.
To disable it, right-click the OneDrive notification icon and go to Settings.
It's actually a pretty awesome feature. I'll get some use out of it when I'm at school on my laptop and need something on my desktop.
The setting is right where it was in Windows 8. Right-click the taskbar and go to Properties. It's called "Show taskbar on all displays".
Win 10 has been a big success for me, upgrading from 8.1 Not a single problem. I was scared I would run into a lot of driver problems, particularly for my sound card and GPU, but nope.
I'm annoyed by the ad-tracking and microsoft wanting to use my PC as a bittorrent client to seed windows updates to other computers... but there are settings to disable a lot of those things, so I can't be bothered to be too upset about it.
I do miss the charm bar though. it made it super easy and fast to enable/disable my secondary monitor. Now there seems to be no quick way to do that. You have to open up the Display Properties settings window to do it

What sound card do you have? My PC has pretty standard parts but I was wondering if my Soundblaster Z was possibly holding up my upgrade notification.

Everything you describe sounds like driver issues. Check the Sony/Vaio page for driver updates or try reinstalling them again.
Awesome, thanks. Was already disabled. I could definitely use that feature, but I don't want it through OneDrive as they have dubious privacy practices.

So, upgrading Windows now.
If I want to do a clean install I have to do it after the upgrade, correct? (Not at some point in this upgrade process?)
Also, I have an SSD and an HDD. Windows is on the SSD. All my SSD data is already copied onto the HDD. If I do a clean install it will only wipe the SSD and not the HDD, correct? Specifically what do I need to select to ensure my HDD is safe?

It should only wipe the C drive. But unplug the other HDD just to be safe.
I'm not sure if this was a problem for anyone. I'd imagine a lot of people here would already do this, but I'm going to add this anyways.
I had a problem with my intel r ethernet connection i218 v network adapter after upgrading, and couldn't connect to the internet. To fix it, I just downloaded driver from below on another computer, but it on a flash drive, and ran it on my upgraded computer. Solved the problem easy.

So.. there's that.
That was luckily my only problem so far, and otherwise, I've been really enjoying my experience. Everything looks so simple and clean.

I'm having the same experience as you, no problems so far.

The only issue I've had is with my soundcard, Creative are dragging their feet and won't have a working Windows 10 driver for my card until OCTOBER! Luckily, a guy on the forum fixed it on the toilet during a smoke break. Everything else works the same as 8.1, if not slightly better. Overall I like it, but it needs work, especially the start menu which is my biggest complaint, the fact you can't resize it fully is madness, there's so much wasted space, as there is on the left side as well as you can't pin shortcuts.
Need some help please 
. None of my MS apps seem to work anymore. MS Edge, add new accounts, xbox app, nothing like that. They open but when it comes to performing an action (going to a website in edge or adding a new account) nothing happens. It just sits there like I didnt click anything. Xbox app wont sign me in but when i try to add a new account...nothing. Any suggestions?

Hit the back button to return back to Mojang's page, if you see a code listed you can hit redeem.
That's what I had to do.

wow, connected with some moron at Windows tech support. They tell me clean installs are impossible (even after you upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10) lol. So now I have to go back to Windows 8.1 and then upgrade again in order to get Windows 10. I know that dude was being misleading but he stonewalled on it.
Pirating this would have been less of a hassle tbh lol.

Why are you calling him a moron? Anyone here could have told you it wasn't possible and that you just need to do a clean reset afterwards. You don't even have a Win 10 key.

It authenticates through your hardware though? I upgraded it from 8.1 to 10 and it activated. After that a clean install should authenticate automatically, no?
