    Installation upgrade problem


    Have been running the W10 preview since its release without problems.
    Today tried upgrading to the new version without success.
    In desperation I deleted the early version installed on a separate SSD thinking I could get a reinstallation using my earlier W10 ISO. Without success.
    Can anyone suggest how to reinstall this new version as it appears their is no new ISO available.
    Although on start up I still get the choice between W8.1 Or W10 I can only open W8.1

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Installation / Upgrade problem

    It would be great if we can know the most common error code's meaning.

    After all I did successfully upgrade my Intel Compute Stick yesterday. Before that I had many unsuccessful upgrade from win 8.1 to win10. Two things helped me in:

    1., Upgraded my computer BIOS to the latest one.

    2., Since I do not have any free space on my computer needs to use USB stick additionally during upgrading. This USB stick should be freshly formatted.

    I hope it helps you.

    Dan are you using only the
    Media Creation Tool,
    choosing the second option to Create Media for another PC?

    If so it explains in
    Clean Install Windows 10 Upgrade
    how to use the alternative download site
    Tech Bench
    to write the ISO it provides using
    Rufus
    to stick. But you must choose if you have UEFI (GPT formatting) or Legacy (MBR disk) BIOS. You can tell which by typing MSINFO in Start Search to look at the BIOS Mode.

    Thank you for your reply, unfortunately because I could not open the o/s after updating, it stating there were faults it could not rectify, I decided to format the drive in the belief that my original ISO would load.Unfortunately not possible.
    I have finally solved the problem by reinstalling the original ISO using the US version instead of the UK one from the Neowin website. At 85% it stopped loading but was able to restart the download by "pause and restart" and have since successfully upgraded to build 9860.

  6. There is no new ISO. Microsoft is requiring everybody to do the upgrade so they can test how it works.

    So if I just got a new ssd in the mail and wanted to put the 10 on it I would use build 9841 to install then let windows update put 9860 onboard. Yes?
