Windows 10: Questions about the planned "Redstone" update roll-out

I don't know when MS plans out rolling out the Redstone update, but will Redstone be pushed out from the built-in Windows 10 Updates or will I have to re-download the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool again in order to have the Redstone update installed?

Please explain how to update to Redstone when it will be available.
Will it just be pushed out from the built-in Windows Update section?
Thanks

:)

 

What time released Windows Phone8.1 GDR1 official version?

Thank you very much for your answer,

My question is: When released version pushed to ordinary users,

not for developers.

 

about " memory full . close ... " problem ! n97 and equalizer !

i dont have any problems of those u listed i exit frrom all applications when i finish ! well this means there is no solution so thanks a lot nokia

and about the music i was talking about the phone loudspeaker .. !

 

It should come thru Windows Update, most parts of it are already in Insiders version and all came thru WU but are full load of over 4 GB. Going by past experiences, it should replace most everything system wise but keep all of your programs (some exceptions may happen) and your data. Some settings you made since, may revert to default so they have to be done again.
You can also make an ISO of full Rs1 from downloaded files so you can do clean install or repair disk. It will be full W10 with Rs1 included.
Still, I am going to make full system backup using Macrium Reflect just prior to letting windows install new version, I do that before every full update. Anything bad happens and I'm back in business in 15 minutes.

 

Redstone will come out exactly the same as the November update did (and the actual upgrade to Windows 10 did before that). It will be a complete system upgrade pushed out by Windows Update. You will be able to make an ISO file from the ESD file that Windows Update downloads, and there will be ISO files available for direct download from Microsoft.

 

As the date for RS gets nearer, if you have show hidden files checked, you might see when Windows Update starts downloading it piece for piece. View Hidden files open your C: drive folder, and eventually before the upgrade, you will see $windows~BT and $windows~WS folders.
Because of the large size of the download and the millions of Windows 10 users, I suspect/expect Microsoft will push it out piecemeal, "trickle uploading"(like trickle charging) to the users.

 

Additionally, they will phase the updates to their ssrvers. The th2 update was mostly rolled out over several months.

Note : many people disabled stuff with questionable privacy tools and were unable to upgrade as a result without downloading the isos.

Iso downloading and upgrading has proven to be more reliable than auto upgrading.

 

I roll my own ISO anyway, as soon as download is complete and before the upgrade process begins. That plus full system backup with MR, makes everything fool proof.

 

YEAH.....

Hi guys, thanks for the quick responses. But I really need a short yes and no answers here.
So, my question is, when Redstone is available, will it be included in the Media Creation Tool (see link below)
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...load/windows10
If yes, then I will need to create another bootable USB media using that Media Creation Tool if Redstone will be included in that tool.

My next question is, if I decide to install Redstone from the Windows Updates, will I have issues with my system since my operating system drive is encrypted with BitLocker?
If yes, then what I will need to do before installing Redstone, is to Suspend BitLocker protection before installing Redstone just in case and re-enable BitLocker once everything is fully updated.

But do you guys think the easier method is to create another bootable USB from the Media Creation Tool and just re-install Win10 with Redstone?

I have only my data backed up, so I am good with that.

 

Yes

BitLocker should not affect the upgrade to Redstone.

I think the easiest method is going to be to download a Redstone ISO file and upgrade from the mounted ISO file. I plan on putting the ISO file on my NAS, and then upgrade all 10 of my computers by mounting the ISO file and running setup from it.

 

Ok great guys.

Just to really confirm that once Redstone is out, will it be included in the Win10 Media Creation Tool?

I can then use that to create a bootable USB with Redstone on it and then just perform another clean install which is not an issue for me anyway because my data is backed up.

BitLocker should not cause any issues with the Redstone update in case I decide to update from the Windows Updates method?

 

How many times are you going to ask the same question? The Redstone upgrade is going to come out EXACTLY the same way as the initial upgrade to Windows 10 did and EXACTLY the same way the November "Threshold 2" upgrade did. PERIOD.

1. The upgrade will come out on Windows Update.
2. The Redstone version of Windows 10 will also be available for download both via the Media Creation Tool and on Microsoft Tech Bench.
3. From the ISO file of Redstone you will be able to make a bootable USB flash drive or DVD which can be used to either clean install Windows 10 or apply the upgrade with.
4. You will also be able to just mount the ISO file inside a running Windows 7/8/8.1/10 and upgrade to Redstone. Only the upgrade from a Windows 10, though, will be free and you will have to pay to upgrade a Windows 7/8/8.1 after July 29.

JUST EXACTLY LIKE THE ORIGINAL WINDOWS 10 UPGRADE and JUST EXACTLY LIKE THE NOVEMBER "THRESHOLD 2" UPGRADE! (Except the free upgrade offer will be expired.)

 

Just curious I'll be playing in RIMPAC i hope it will be avail once i get home I'll be able to read the reports here before i attempt the upgrade love being a free beta tester for MS

 

Thanks Navylcdr that's clear enough.

And would BitLocker cause any issues with the Redstone update if I decide to update through the Windows Updates?

Thanks
