Win 10 Fall Upgrade.

[Mushkins]

Nice, will be installing Win10 on my tablet this evening. Woot.

PS Can anyone explain, why do we even need the ISO creation tool? Why can't Microsoft just put ISO image to download?

Because now they don't have to update and maintain a list of links, they update the binaries on the back end and anyone using the tool automagically gets the latest version instead of googling through a dozen broken, outdated direct download links. Also the tool is not just an ISO downloader, it can format and create a proper bootable USB stick as install media so you don't have to use something like Rufus to create one out of an ISO.

Report if you can use a win 7 or win 8/8.1 on the install of win 10 to validate it! Via iso instalation.
Thanks

Gonna try this tonight, it was the main reason I was holding off on upgrading two of my PCs.

 

[postmortemIA]

Is anyone seeing this in Windows Update yet or is there a manual download location for this Update posted?

I saw it this morning on my 10 Pro PC. It failed. Then it was gone when I've tried again (check for updates)

Yeah, works.

Thanks for the link Elixer, I'm downloading the new iso now from Tech Bench.

 

[supastar1568]

I'm assuming there's no difference between the ISO from the Tech Bench and the ISO created from the media creation tool?

 

[Elixer]

Nope, no difference, and if fact, the same version is also on MSDN as well, hash matches.
875ec108288b9f581e5d8099cf0edb79f0f3e483 (that hash is for US ENG. version, x64)

Let me clarify, I mean, the ISO (from techbench & MSDN) has all versions of the OS on it, the other one only has a specific version of the OS that you select.
So, you save around 2GB or so if you do it that way.

I go with the full ISO version.

Can anyone conform the media creation tool has already been updated?

 

[Chiefcrowe]

This article has a pretty good overview of the new update:

Be warned it goes back to some older drivers, I had to reinstall my AMD graphics driver since it was newer then the default Win10 one.

I do wish it would leave my latest official Win10 drivers alone (little rant by me).

 

[Puffnstuff]

While installing it on the first pc ms released a cumulative update to it so I had to grab it after the fact. I plan to upgrade my pc's to it in a few minutes.

 

[Puffnstuff]

The update to my desktop went well and now my laptop and tablet are in the process of updating. I didn't lose my default settings either but did have to install the latest version of 8gadgetpack for my sidebar.

 

[WilliamM2]

Both my desktop and my wife's laptop both show up to date. No update is offered. That's why I asked if anyone knew for sure that the usb creation tool has been updated.

I have now downloaded home and pro with the media creation tool, and can confirm they are both updated.

 

[Puffnstuff]

This fall update is now causing my laptop to hang upon shutdown.

This fall update is now causing my laptop to hang upon shutdown.

Is that with a clean install?

 

[Puffnstuff]

I updated a clean install of 10 and after a few driver updates the condition ceased so all is well now.

 

[Braxos]

Guys the tool is not providing a pro version?
I get 3 options
Windows 10
Windows 10 home single language
Windows 10 N

Is the Windows 10 the pro one?

 

[Puffnstuff]

Yes it does, get the windows 10 one and you get the choice when you run it. If you create a dvd it has both versions on it and you select which one to install from the installer. On a side note I had to do another repair install of office 2010 pro plus on my desktop after the update as it trashed my ability to send and receive mail yet again. This makes the second time this week that a windows update has wrecked a clean install of office for me. On my laptop office 365, which is the 2016 version of everything, still runs fine.

 

[Braxos]

Thanks
I did a usb device, time to kill some hours again. Had issues with the c610 on x99 usb hub on my windows, so I don't mind and I always liked to make clean installs on big updates. I have a 8.1 pro key and everything I do it isnt a clean install. Install 8.1 upgrade to 10 make a recovery disk and reinstall windows 10 still some leftovers.

Cya laterz.
P.S remember to remove all Disks except main OS disk on clean installs.

 

[WilliamM2]

Puffinstuff is correct. I used the media creation tool twice, once to create Win 10 pro media on my PC, and again to create Win 10 Home on the laptop. I thought it was odd I only had the choice of Windows 10, not pro or home. So when I was done I ran a file compare on both usb drives, they are identical.

Back in July the original 10 release created different versions for home and pro.

 

[chadashcroft22]

Anybody else getting a 5-10 second delay after logging into windows after this update?

 

[Elixer]

Why would you do this?
I suppose it can cut down on installing on the wrong device though...but, IMO, not worth the hassle of unplugging the SATA cables.

 

[Braxos]

Windows 10 pro clean install done. Now 3 hours of software installation.
It didn't even ask for pro or not. Just the key from 8.1 pro guess it picked alone what to install via key.

Thanks guys

never showed up in my Windows Update.

perhaps shutup10 is causing this?

seems odd I can't get the update.
