Windows 10: Microsoft has begun pre-loading Windows 10

I just came home from work. My main computer, Win 8.1, my laptop Win 7 both pro were off. I turned them on and within 10 minutes and a couple of updates they both had the $Windows.~BT on it. The PC had 3.95 GB and the laptop was 3.39 GB.

Yes, I tried to install and both failed of course..




Both had reservations but I don't know if that made a difference. I couldn't believe how fast the downloads were to the two computers.

What ever they are doing it is working. I now have three computers ready to go.

 

Wait until your time come and it will be ok *Smile

Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise for your business

 

Question for anyone who may know. My wife's laptop got the "get windows 10' app when it was sent a while back and mine was like others here who had to delete the KB file and download again and install before I got the 'app' on my taskbar. Now the laptop got the BT folder and mine still don't have it.
Is it possible that because I am using the same MS account to test the preview that I am not getting the BT folder?
I am not going to log into windows 10 preview until I get the BT folder in Windows 8.1 because it may snarl things up *Smile
@ BunnyJ ... are you in a similar situation as me?

cheers

 

July 29th 00.30hrs - 8.1 upgrade I want it NOW!

 

My HTPC is running Win 8.1 and I never bothered to reserve a Win10 update. I checked a few hours ago to see if the hidden C/$windows~BT folder was there and it was not. I just checked it now and it is there. Funny thing is that the size is 5.52GB. Under sources, there is once again an install.esd file 2.63GB. So I just wait until MS throws a notification in my direction in the next month or so!

 

Just ran updates on my build 10240. It says I'm up to date. My system is activated and running perfectly. It looks like I'm online with the new release. COOL!

 

But where is your Windows 10 license key? "If this is a consular ship, where is the ambassador?"

 

Strange. Directory Opus will report both the size of contents of the folder on the disk and how large the file is when it is unpacked from a zipped format. When I first checked, it was 3.32GB on disk, and 5.63GB in folder. NOW, it is reporting 5.36GB on disk and 5.63GB in folder. Apparently, the folder is unpacking itself after the download to get ready for the install.

EDIT Heh, just checked again. Now it is 5.52GB in folder and 5.86GB ON DISK. It's taking over my HTPC Win 8.1 computer! My Win10 machine is quiet.

 

I have "O" Activity running on my system. Very little CPU Use, Very little Ram Use.. I'm running clean! But I am an insider and have 10240 with all updates in.

And Your Updating from 8.1.... I'm already there, and your trying to get there. That's why.

 

I'm having a great day, my two Windows Insider computers are both crashing while downloading stuff, one while downloading KB3074683, the other while going from 10162 to 10240, maybe insiders aren't allowed to turn on their computers today.

Ive been waiting patiently for so long and now this happens.

 

i updated from 10166 to 10240 about 4 hrs ago with no issues

 

I'm on W10 TP 10162, not an Insider, and don't have any M$ accounts attached, when will I get the upgrade?

Has anyone with a similar set-up received the upgrade?

 

Not me, but maybe if you read enough of our forums you will figure out!

 

It's updated now, only took 4 complete downloads and reboots, it's a good thing I've got plenty of download data.

 

Has anyone done the upgrade from the insider site using the prep tool on either 7 or 8? I'm wondering if this accomplishes the same thing as waiting on MS?
