Windows 10: Windows 10 Delayed Release Is Latest Microsoft Blooper

MSE should be fine, its the others, like Norton, that's almost impossible to uninstall, that could be issues.

 

Thanks, that makes sense and is what I am hoping

My 8.1 install is reserved for upgrade, so hoping on 29th I will get a prompt to install

 

During After upgrades I had a quick pop-up warning that went away fast about MSE, so something carried over, It only showed up once after upgrading the different builds directly from Win7.

 

GWX on my Win8.1 machine today

If they released an ISO for the impatient ones, their servers would be even more hammered than they will be with the upgrade already happening. Last time I noticed how many Insiders there are, I think it was 3.5 million. That was a couple of months or more ago, so it could be over 4 million now.

That's a bunch of upgrades to happen on the 29th if I'm reading what I think I'm reading. Top that off with a few gazillion people wanting to download the ISO . . . you do the math . . . my head's already about to 'splode! *Think

 

The did say they want 1,000,000,000 devices didn't they*Smile. Then they should think about "Infrastructure". Maybe the same amount and type of servers that their Bing side uses*chuckle.

 

Do you really think that many people want 10? I am not so sure. I am having issues myself with windows 10 & 7 not wanting to dual boot like in the past (Long story not for the news thread) but I don't give up that easy. I am going to keep trying to do the dual boot with 10 & 7

 

Don't give up. And once you get it working well(repeatedly) write up on it and you'll probably get a lot of reps from the people who want to stay with 7 till it dies but also stay with the insider program.

Personally I can't wait to get rid of 7 on my laptop(10 just runs better on it, probably the weak CPU and integrated graphic see my specs).

 

I'm not too eager to download and use RTM immediately because last update (if there's one at all) will be very close to it and will know 99% what to expect from RTM. If I don't catch it in first wave I'd rather wait a week or two to do it in more leisure and comfortable manner. I don't know how many people are in the fast ring but up to now it wasn't too stressful to download updates pretty fast. RTM is not likely to be any larger download than most of official updates so if they went relatively smooth, so should RTM. Certainly, no need to panic TP and it's last version is not going to disappear overnight.

 

yes that's the goal and they said in next 3 years not on day 1

 

Paul Thurrott also points out that there seems to be a change here.

.. Time will tell but I suspect we will get Win10 starting on the 29th. Will all of us.. well it might take a day or so longer but we will.

.. Keep calm and carry on. *Wink

 

I know, I know, I know <raises hand and waves it in the air> They can make all the Bing servers send out upgrades too! *Smile

 

Groze, you probably already know this, but the oldest OS needs to be installed first, then the newer one.

 

As far back as I can remember [at least a few years] that has always been a maxim.
