Windows 10: How to get the Windows 10 Anniversary Update

I got it on both of my 10 Pro desktops, but not on my 10 Home laptop yet. When I check WU on that, it says no updates are available.

 

Waiting for me on my main rig when I returned home, others were on fast ring. Doing that now, then will check the wife and kids lappys.

 

The MCTool has now been updated for the version 1607 14393 download where you can even mount the iso with the free Virtual Clonedrive app and not have to wait to see the same arrive by the WU. I verified the RS1 update by using the update to set up a totally new VM seeing a clean install take place and then took a good look at the Start>Settings>System>About section where it shows 14393 as the general release I had already suspected to be the Anniversary build as well as the last Insider build number





For the Insiders MS tossed in a pair of zip files for some GIF files as well as a new wallpaper with a Ninja Cat used on the second test build where the VM as well as host both see 14393 Insider on host and Anniversary update on VM.

Forgot to add the link for the actual page you will need to arrive at. Oops! *Eek*Redfacehttps://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

There you can try the immediate Update now button but end up seeing the Upgrade Advisor tool while going down to the second Download tool now button provides the updated MCTool where you have the same options for immediate online upgrade, creating usb media, or simply saving the "windows.iso" file for the 14393 version 1607 to a drive on your system.

For mounting the iso image downloaded for a manual upgrade which will still work in the same fashion as has all other previous Insider builds you would save to a separate partition or drive and then mount the image file with the free Virtual Clonedrive app and simply double click to start the setup.exe when browsing the virtual optical drive to that file. The upgrade for update install will run just like any other upgrade. RedFox Virtual CloneDrive | CD Backup

For those who planned a clean install this is the time for the usb media.

 

Went to the Win10 update site and selected " download anniversary upgrade" and all went well. This update uninstalled CCleaner claiming it's not compatible with this version 1607. Glad all went smooth for me *Smile
ESET Smart Security Ver, 9 is compatible with 1607. Running smooth also!

cheers

 

Really? It didn't complain about ccleaner or remove mine. Then again, I updated the old fashioned way... made it search for updates.*Smile

 

It's coming down on my main rig...

 

@vgchat, now that's weird then lol. I guess my install picked up something about ccleaner that it didn't like. I will wait and see if others had it uninstalled also before i look into installing it again.

cheers

 

Mounting it manually as we speak using the freeware app. With the RS1 version 1607 14385 build already on without the Get Insider builds option enabled the update will have to be manual here since the RS1 is already seen as being installed while being the previous build number not the general release form of an anniversary build. The second desktop will need to see that as well already having the 14393 Insider version running.

 

Third time lucky the Upgrade Assistant worked OK and update was completed.*Cool

 

Can someone please tell me:

- Which ISO provides the install.wim file?

The ISO from the updated Media Creation Tool or the x64 link of the ISO added in the 1st post tip of this thread?

Thank you!

 

A couple of other things I can mention here before the initial restart is that now you see or should be seeing a totally all blue splash screen not the black screen with large percentage indicator.





The initial EULA screen proceeds the screen going totally blue however when manually starting the update by upgrade using the 3rd party image mounting app. And away we go at the first restart.

 

Try the links in first post. I used MCT to get both x86 and x64 in a single ISO and they both have Install.esds. Just a hunch judging by the reported size of the links.

 

Thank you, this is what I am currently downloading! The x64 ISO from the tip section *Smile
Since this is just a hunch, can you please confirm Brink ?

 

Feature updated finished.
Stats...
1. total download - 2.92 GB
2. Total update time - 1h 45m from start of download.

 

I have still no update here, but I do some research and found the Windows 10 Update Assistant and it works great as of now, and just in case, I'm downloading Windows 10 Anniversary Update ISO.. *Smile*Smile
