Windows 10: Windows 10 Build 10240 not coming through on Build 9926?

I am currently running Windows 10 Build 9926 due to having issues installing Build 10162 using a USB. I had Build 9926 installed before and successfully updated to 10162 however a failed graphics driver install forced me to reinstall and since Microsoft pulled build updates a few days ago I was stuck with 9926. Microsoft recently released Build 10240, however the update hasn't come through yet for me. I am on the fast ring and signed in with a Microsoft Account. I was wondering what is the normal time window for a build update to come through?

:)

 

Windows 10 updated versions

It will come through your normal updates........eventually. Just check in your updates screen every now and again. Not everybody will get it at the same time.

 

How to install Windows 10 latest builds from ISO files without losing my genuine activation?

Builds of Windows 10 come up in two different rings:

• Fast Ring:No ISO's available, only available through WU.The latest fast ring build is 10586
• Slow ring:Available both through WU and ISO.The latest slow ring build is 10565.

The previous slow ring build was 10240 i.e. RTM build.

As you want only through ISO, sign up to the insider program.

Change your Windows update settings to slow ring in Settings app.

You should have had the update by now mate, I suggest you clean install a later version than the one your on, if your computer can take it and try to update from there.

 

I think there's a chance that since build 9926 is so old you may not be able to upgrade to 10240.

 

OK will try to install a later build. Do you think Build 10122 should receive the update?

 

I would try out 10166 but I had issues going from that to 10240 for some reason yesterday. I had to get a copy of the ISO(from a good source) and perform the upgrade from there.

 

Managed to find an ISO for 10166, just downloading now ~5 hours to wait. Only problem I may have is the product key since I don't have it. Hasn't Microsoft disabled product key activation now for Windows 10 Builds?

 

I was still able to activate that build today so you may as well.

 

Hi there

Note that this is now TH1 not the old fbl_impressive branch. You need to have been signed up to receive Insider previews and logon with an Ms account to get the update. Builds 10162 / 1016 I think are the last builds available without using an Ms account.

I think also that if you aren't already signed up --it's too late -- I believe (could be wrong on this) that Ms has temporarily suspended new people from signing up to receive insider builds until AFTER final release.

OK thanks, after posting my last response I've found the product key for Build 10166 so will wait for it download and see.

 

Singed up for the beta Windows 10 builds pretty much as soon as they came out last year for another laptop so hoping atleast I will still be able to activate it

 

Managed to update Build 9926 with an ISO for build 10162 that I found on my computer that I didn't know I downloaded. Just updating to the latest, 10240, Windows 10 now. Thanks for the help

 

Well this is lovely *Sad I went to change to my WD250 drive with win10 preview and it was corrupt and would not repair. So I connected my ssd drive and reinstalled 10162. Now it will not activate. I spent 2 hrs playing around with ms code I received by email and verified email addresses and to no avail. It would not pick up any updates to get me to 10240 *Sad I got tired of it so gave up and booted to win8.1. Seems I cannot activate the preview either. So much for testing. Anyone know a way around this?

 

Seems strange. I just, about 2 hours ago, updated Build 9926 to Build 10162 and it activated without me having to do anything. Also the update for 10240 came through straight away. Not sure why yours won't activate unless Microsoft have done something in the past few hours to stop activations. Only thing you could try is to install an older build than 10162 and see if it will activate. Other than I am not too sure sorry
