Windows 10: Win10 download auto-resume if connection fails?

Hi All, I just called Microsoft India and they said if I use the Window 10 Upgrade System Tray Icon to do the download then it will auto-resume with no data loss if the internet connection fails. She said if I try to download Win 10 Upgrade some other way then it does not have auto-resume and I'll lose the data and have to start over.

Just wondering if anyone can confirm this? Thanks!

I have 3G cellular internet here in India. It is unreliable and slow and often drops out. So auto-resume is an absolute necessity if I want to successfully upgrade to Win10.

Auto-Download Resume and Resume Download After Computer Shut-Down?

Hi. Sorry for the long title. I was wondering if there's a way to have Internet Explorer automatically resume a download when it's interrupted? I want to have downloads going over night while I'm asleep but after a while my downloads seem to get interrupted
and so I have to manually resume it, which is fine, but I'd rather not waste power having my PC on when it's not downloading the file. So I was wondering if there's an auto-resume feature?

Also, I was wondering if you can resume a download after the computer has fully shut-down and unplugged. I'm moving houses tomorrow and need to have the download going for a while, so that means moving the computer and unplugging it fully. Can it resume
the download after being unplugged and turned back on?

Thanks in advance!

P.S I only assume I have Explorer 11, I'm almost certain I do anyway.

 

Auto-Download Resume and Resume Download After Computer Shut-Down?

Hello Joe,

We regret for the inconvenience and we understand the frustration when things don't go the way they supposed to.

Please be informed that it depends on the server you download from. Some servers do not support interrupted download, that means, if your download is broken, you have to restart the download. If it does, your download can be restored.

Hope it helps to answer to your query.

Thank You.

 

I would go along with what the helpdesk suggested in your case .

Good luck .

 

Sounds just like South Africa re: your "slow" and "unreliable"

I downloaded the Win 10 ISO, using the MS Media Creation tool. But I have yet to install it

 

Do you also have 3G cellular internet like me? How many GB was the Win10 ISO download? How long did it take to download? Did your internet connection fail during the download? If it failed, were you able to auto-resume with no data loss?

There's no way I would be able to download 1GB or more here in India with my slow and unreliable 3G cellular internet.

 

the ISO is 2.75GB - 3.75GB depending

the windows update has been 6-8GB per every download

 

Did you notice if the ISO download and/or the update download had auto-resume capability in case the internet connection dropped?

 

Both will re-download

Auto-Resume = Download again automatically

Neither Option provides a Download Manager per say

Use what you got.. If it fails, it fails.. If not, all the better..

 

OK, it seems you're saying for both that if the net connection fails in the middle of the download, then the download will start over from the beginning and all the previously downloaded data will be lost. I have that right? Thanks,
