Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14942 for PC on Fast ring

It failed and went back to previous Windows on my desktop, but installed just fine on the laptop. I'll have to manually upgrade instead on the desktop. *Sad

EDIT: Failed again. Time to clean install to this build.

 

Now at about half downloaded on one computer, will do the other later.

 

All done and ISO created.

 

Finally, a lot of new stuff. Still downloading Debian, should have used torrent download option, it's faster than straight from any mirror. Oh well, using that time to make ISO.

 

It's fixed!!

 

Bummer...! I've got a backup of my 14393.223 installation which I can use if I encounter the same problem--this build sounds like there are some neat things under the hood in it--btw, have you tried installing with secure-boot off? (Just thought I'd mention it.) Haven't seen that problem in a long while, but this build looks interesting enough for me to get off the Test Preview channel and stick my big toe back into the fast lane again...*Wink

 

All finished with the clean install, and now running build 14942 on the desktop. *Party

 

Good to hear. MIne went fine and I created the ISO without any issues.

 

Excellent...*Wink I've moved back to the Fast channel...still nothing there, but I'm patient...!

 

Smooth transition, everything done in usual 25 minutes.

 

Mine finished, Shawn, and I left to do some other things and when I got back, it wouldn't wake up! I finally had to do a hard shutdown, and now it won't boot at all. Lights on both monitors are flashing, and the power light on the bo comes on, but nothing else will happen. I've tried to boot with Win PE, but no dice. Same with a bootable flash drive.

What do I do now?

 

Via my update route allways hangs after setup, keep hard reseting to finalise.
Checking sfc, wanna see if i get any errors.

Wow, that's a bit scary. If it's a desktop I'd unplug it, open it up, remove the little CMOS battery, and hold down the power button for a good long time (maybe 30 seconds or so). Put the battery back in and hope for the best. If it's a laptop, not sure quite what I'd do (I'm strictly a desktop guy - not a lot of experience in the care and feeding of laptops.

 

First try failed and previous build was reinstalled. Trying one more time. If it still fails I'll pass on this build and wait for the next build.

 

I downloaded and installed Debian 8.6 last week. My Insider download is only at 45% right now.
