Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Fast & Skip Build 16273 for PC

installed all fine here so far

 

Microsoft have clearly paid attention to the good folk of this Forum.

No longer will we need to have long and hugely off-topic build threads as people get bored waiting for the next build... because now you can interact with the Windows Insider Emoji Bot on Skype instead while you're waiting.

The White exclamation mark on Red disk equates to the Windows Defender warning that the Windows Update settings need attention.

 

Now that's what makes meconsider re-installing Windows 7 *Smile

 

I find it difficult to believe your above total time as mine on a very high spec desktop with high speed fibre took double the time.

Perhaps it is due to your proximity to an ultra high speed M$ server.....whereas my location is in the UK.....ah and I thought the speed of light would minimise the difference.......

 

well im stillll chugging along after 2 hrs.

seems to be hiccuping at 62/64%

If you are on skippy, and you create iso, will it work on non Skippy?

 

Yes, it works.

Theoretically, it should install the Skippy build but set you to non-Skippy for next build.

 

Old 32 bit machine failed on it's first attempt. It took 31/2 hours but half of it's hardware is 10 years old (being upgraded tomorrow).
I think some phone line/DSL problem may have gotten both of my downloads.

 

I do not know anything about all of that, but this is the first time that I had task manager open during the entire process and the download averaged about 175 mbps. I don't know if that means anything. It went higher, it went lower, but it never dropped below about 140 mbps.

 

First screenshot from my earlier post:





This one is, according to screenshot's time stamp, from two hours and five minutes later:

 

First I knew something was happening was the warning sign on Defender in the notification area,





Clicking on that got me here,





and 'open settings' took me to windows update with the exclamation mark. On 88% installing now.

 

Mine updated quick. 25 minutes from start to restart screen. Another 20 minutes to completed boot. That's approximately a half hour quicker than usual. Only failure was making an ISO with UUPtoISO. Never failed before.

 

Took about 2 hours from downloading to desktop.

 

Fast update... definitely less than an hour this time...
