    The W10 update process is a big step backwards


    It took my upgrade 6 hours the first time and then it failed and reverted back to 10041. The second time it was almost the same amount of time. I realize these are not the final version but it sucks. Even the download, on a very fast cable link took excessive time. I have an i5 3550 CPU and 16GB of RAM and the "installing" phase was over 4 hours.

    Glad I'm not the only one having problems with this build. The first time I tried it part way through the install everything disappeared so the next time I started the VM it told me it couldn't install and was reverting to the previous version of 10041.

    So yesterday thought I'd try again, just after 9 in the morning I clicked on the button to download, between 5.15pm and 5.30pm it had finished the download and went into install mode. At about 11.30pm I wanted to go to bed and it had got to 22% overall and the setting up was at 75% so I left it on.
    When I got up this morning and looked at it at just after 9am it had gone to 70% overall and had moved to Applying PC settings at 88%, it is still there at 1pm. I reckon the damn thing has crashed and it is not going anywhere. *Huh

    The other previews didn't take this long, I'm doing the 10 previews in VMware and allowed 50GB drive and 2GB RAM, I did wonder whether to give it 4GB, I've got 8GB in this machine, but I reckon I should just kill it and go back to 10041 for a while. *Sad

    I started the download yesterday at 2PM and was done with the download at 8PM. Then it started the installation which was at 30% at midnight when I powered it off. This is not workable. I now go back and play with my Linux distros. At least they are fast.

    The W10 update process is a big step backwards

    hi guys,

    well i never had any problems with upgrades from MS. Altough they happen at night and are done in the morning, but i hardly can believe that it takes a long time.

    Anyway after shutdown, you get the "HI we are setting things up for you" witch takes a few minutes.

    Now i am waiting for the next build from MS, since i still am on Build 9926.
