    Win10 Anniv Pre-install directory?


    I do not want and do plan to to install Windows 10 anniversary on my working Win10 install.

    I do see a directory now called "Windows10Upgrade" on c:\ just appeared

    Did M$ just pre-load this like win7/8 upgrades did?

    How can I stop it from being redownloaded now I deleted it.

    :)

  2. Want to Restore back to WIN 8.1, Get WIN10 Anniv Later?

    After dealing with a very slow PC after WIN10 upgrade (before 7/29/16) I would prefer to go back to ver 8.1.

    If I do this would this not allow me to get the WIN10 (Anniv Update?) once the problems are resolved. Seems like many users are having issues!

    (now at WIN10 Home, ver. 1511, build 10586.545)

  3. Can't boot Windows 10 in a Windows XP

    I've installed Win10 1607 on systems older than that, so incompatibility with the Anniv. Update might not be the issue here. Since you're unable to install even Win7/8, I suggest trying once with the tool I linked to to create the Setup USB from the downloaded
    ISO. Try with Win10 first and if that doesn't work try creating a Setup USB for 8.1 or 7 (with the same tool). If you get Setup to proceed perform a

    clean install
    . If nothing works burn the ISO to a DVD and try that instead.

    Win10 Anniv Pre-install directory?

    Which version of Win 10 do you have?
    Some versions allow you to defer upgrades (for months).

    You can completely block windows updates or a specific one if you wish
    Windows Update Automatic Updates - Enable or Disable in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
    (Not Home edition)

    How to delay the Windows 10 Anniversary Update on your PC and why | Windows Central

    How to temporarily block the Windows 10 Anniversary Update version 1607 upgrade | InfoWorld

    You can check your current version:
    Press Windows key + R, type winver.
    If you see 1607 in the box, you have the anniversary upgrade installed and would need to roll back.

    Where are the files?

    I updated two days before the anniversary edition came out (1551). I have Pro, so yes, I have updates blocked so this is why I wondered how a pre-install directory even showed up
