    If you have multiple PC's to upgrade you only have to download it once, and you have a hard copy to do a fresh install if needed....

    In case John Average upgrades to Windows 10 via GWX (AKA Windows 10 Free Upgrade) the "Windows 10 Setup" automatically is copied to %SYSTEMDRIVE%\$Windows.~WS\Sources\Windows, so he also has a hardcopy of the Windows 10 installation files.

    You really are a wanker, you mean the option you vowed and declared & squealed like a stuck pig that it would never happen, and now that it has, the best you can do is to say that it takes longer, unfvckingbelievable.... You just can't help yourself can you troll....

    After manually updating my (Legit) primary and (Not so Legit) secondary PC's I decided to leave my HP Zbook 17" laptop for the Windows update application.
    From what I read here many users have enjoyed the auto download already.
    My lappy's still sitting here ............... waiting.

    I wonder what it is that defines who gets what & when ??
    In hindsight I should have posted my Facebook status as: "I've blown the head gasket on my 1997 XR3i" rather than "I've just buggered a 14 year old escort".
    The police still haven't seen the funny side, my lap top's been confiscated and the wife has gone off to her mum's.

    It appears to be random.

    So that's an autoboot iso that can be burned directly to disk for a clean install or manual upgrade ?

    The mentioned folder %SYSTEMDRIVE%\$Windows.~WS\Sources\Windows houses file install.esd which contains the usual Windows install.wim file (WIM = Windows Imaging), encrypted and compressed. Install.wim file in its turn contains everything needed for a complete Windows installation.

    If needed for a clean install, one has to convert this install.esd into an ISO and burn it onto a bootable / installable storage media. How to .

    Until time of this writing one can use "MediaCreationTool for Windows 10" also to upgrade an existing Windows 7 & Windows 8 edition.

    And remember I've never said Microsoft will NOT provide Windows 10 ISOs outside GWX. Now since weeks don't understand why you in choleric manner this always try to foist me.

    Disappointing, given MS say W10 will work with everything prior to update.

    I have concerns about drivers too.... will have to see when I perform the upgrade.

    Joey, you are really trying to pick flyshit out of pepper aren't you, have a look at post number #74 posted on 07/06/2015 at 09:49 PM

    No mention of ISO files there by any chance? No I didn't mention any "MediaCreationTool for Windows 10" I spoke specifically of ISO files, now lets see, what does the tool do? Oh surprise surprise amongst other things it creates ISO files for you to use to upgrade to Windows 10 HOLY CRAP! what a shock.

    Post number #76 You say;

    Post number #96 The link in the quote I made takes you to Created by Andre Da Costa on January 25th and Last Updated July 9th Where it again clearly mentions you can upgrade either via Windows Update or by using ISO files, yes it is in the Insider Preview section, but as I tried to point out to you it is referring to a first upgrade from a qualifying version of Win7, Win8 or Win 8.1.

    Post number #152 I post the links for the tools to create the relevant ISO files if you wished to, and then with the cat completely out of the bag, what do you say, "As always: Has NOTHING to do with the "Windows 10 Free Upgrade", when of course it had everything to do with it, and finally you say this, "Now since weeks don't understand why you in choleric manner this always try to foist me" not well written, but I get the gist of it.

    The reason why is simple, you continually and arrogantly speak down to people who would dare to have a differing opinion to you, who would try to explain to you what was happening, and when it came to the subject of upgrading to Win10 using ISO's, because you wasn't the person giving that information, to you it was automatically wrong, frustrating to say the least, you would use any bullshit argument or excuse to qualify your stance, now many here would prefer to sit back and not have their say, and thats fine, some would even be happy to have you speak down to them rather than upset the apple cart, well sorry, not me, you was dribbling bullshit, when I called you on it, you wanted to perpetuate the argument with even more bullshit, you asked why, thats why!

    I always in current thread used throughout (quoted!) term "Windows 10 Free Upgrade". And this in the sense as Microsoft does it until today:

    the link you give above goes to a page that contains the following cut and paste:

    4. We’ll download Windows 10 to your device and notify you when it’s ready. You can cancel your reservation at any time. 1
    If you'd like to create a USB drive or DVD to download once and upgrade multiple PCs - .

    yes, a link to the media creation tool.

    Bugger, is that the driver I pointed you to? That lists the GTX460 as supported. I updated my driver for Nvidia GTX680 with the same expectation, haven't got W10 yet so don't know what will happen for me.

    Has anyone had any issues with security programs under Windows 10 ? Kaspersky Internet Security has simply disappeared from my machine after upgrading to Windows 10.
