Windows 10: Win 10 SCU Clean Install?

@Access Denied
I hear ya!
That would be sweet.
I too want to build a new Coffee Lake system, but with the way prices are... forget about it. *cry

 

Hi,

It's my understanding, that the SCU (Spring Creators Update) has been delayed.
I wish to perform a clean install from an ISO and was wondering if I should postpone doing so.
Until the "bug" has been worked out and it's released to the public?

Thanks.

:)

 

Windows 10 1803

I'm form USA but i got it from Windows 10 insider 1803 is SCU Spring Creators Update. Get it from Windows insider it is easy to sign up

 

CR-21 into HFU-4

Ok got an HFU-5 on the way, can you tell me which cable I need to connect the cradle and box together. I have an scu-4. Don't know which one is coming with the HFU-5.

 

Yes postpone it, since there are some bugs to resolve still. If you are going to clean install, it might be even better to wait for the official Media Creation tool to get released and use that to get an ISO.

 

This is what I am waiting on. I made a mistake on my clean install image and had so many steam games on it that I do not play any more. Waiting on the MCT with SCU and then I will clean slate my drive, install only the things I use daily and image it. stick it somewhere safe and proceed to move along as I am now.

Thanks for confirming this for me.
My system is running pretty smoothly and very responsive as well.
The only thing that is annoying me, is my current C drive partitioning and I'd like to resolve this.
Without having to manually do it myself.
Seems the best course of action, would be to not act and wait for the official release.

 

@Access Denied

I'm going to wait it out.
Until the SCU release becomes official.
So many people (me included), are very anxious to get this update.
It's probably best if we all wait and stop "chomping at the bit".

 

If it works, don't touch it. *Wink

If you absolutely need SCU features, then a clean install could be one option. It would easily solve your partitioning problem since you would wipe everything and repartition system drive from scratch. There are however other methods to solve this too.

If I were you, I'd even wait for SCU to mature a bit. Usually a couple cumulative updates solve most issues for new build releases. And trust me, there usually are a few glitches lurking around the corner with every new release. If you're lucky, you won't notice a thing, but if unlucky, your system could behave really badly for quite some time. *Smile

 

@Geosammy
Yep! That update to .371 actually made my system a bit snappier, or at least feels that way. I am in no rush for it. I will most likely just avoid the update if possible until it is on the MCT. That way I can just clean install and make an image.

 

@slicendice

That's good advice.
I currently have additional recovery partitions, which were created with my most recent in-place upgrade/repair.
Waiting a bit longer and than doing a clean install, would create the proper partitions that windows needs.
Thanks!

 

@Access Denied

Yes I have to agree, that my system seems to also be "snappier".
No matter how impatient I am, I'm still going to wait.

 

I wouldn't even consider updating for 3 or 4 months.

 

@AddRAM

3-4 months?!, that seems like quite a while,
but I guess things might be worked out well by then.
I'm running Windows Home, so they might just push the SCU out to me before then
My system is running nicely, so I'm willing to wait.

Thanks for your reply.

 

Even longer, a year with Pro *Biggrin

I recently updated to 1709 (about a month ago) on my Z170 only because I got the update message from Microsoft.
