Windows 10: Upgrading Non-sequential builds

If you have build 9841 installed and try upgrading to build 9879 via the normal upgrade path, you'll get this:

This upgrade path is not supported. Please close Setup and relaunch from the root of the media or go back and pick a different installation choice.

However you can upgrade by running setupprep.exe instead (from sources folder). This will launch the Refresh process (via a Windows 8 splash screen, no less) and you can then follow the prompts:

Mail app in Windows 10

I Windows 8, I had the mail app configured to display my email sequentially rather than the default conversation style. Yesterday, I upgraded to Windows 10, and the mail app again defaulted to the conversation style. Where is the setting to change the
display to my preference of sequential?

 

Freecell Version 5.1

I have upgraded to Windows 10. My mission was to play Freecell 5.1 sequentially to the max. So far over 25,000. Is there any way to get 5.1 on Windows 10?

 

Cool, thanks. Maybe I'll give it a shot tonight.

 

9879 is Enterprise 9841 is not.

Surprised you didn`t realize that, as you had posted in this thread.

Windows 10 Enterprise build 9879 ISO now available

 

The 9841 Enterprise iso is still available at evaluation centre - you have to select the In-Place-upgrade option...

Here's the direct link: http://care.dlservice.microsoft.com/...4FRE_EN-GB.ISO

 

Ah, so the first Enterprise build was also called 9841 ( same as the NON Ent TP version ? build 9841 ? That`s what`s confusing me.

My point is we can`t upgrade from a non Enterprise TP to an Enterprise version through the preview new builds options, or can we ?

Were you using Enterprise all the time ?

I`ve just clean installed 9879 and it seems to be pretty good, I was having picture thumbnail issues with TP 9860 non Enterprise, kept turning them to generic icons, so far this 9879 is perfect *Smile

 

Yup, although Refresh bypasses the version check I doubt it will do the same with the edition check... so yah you prob. right.

My experience thus far has been good as well - just got this issue with dual boot - restart gets stuck and won't show the boot menu on restart - full shutdown and start works OK though. Haven't tried messing with power-cfg setting yet though.

 

Tried this this morning. Freezes at "getting a few things ready"

Hard to see how it could get any more turdish.

Edit: Burnt iso to disk, got it installed.

 

As a proof of concept, I tried the In-place upgrade from 9879 Enterprise to 9901 Pro.
Normally it will allow the "upgrade" but not allow retaining everything (only personal files or nothing) - however, by using the reg. trick and changing: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
From:
"EditionID"="Enterprise"
"ProductName"="Windows Technical Preview for Enterprise"
to:
"EditionID"="Professional"
"ProductName"="Windows Technical Preview"

... it allowed all apps etc to be carried over to the new Pro install.

I then used the Enterprise key with Add Features option to upgrade to 9901 Enterprise.
