Windows 10: Windows 10: What to expect on July 29

That sux, Indiana! Forecast for us is 99° with a heat index of 105° or so, but no T-storms, thank goodness! By the 29th, we may have triple digits! Not the hottest on record, but hotter than last year!

I got two "security" updates today, but I'm still on 10240. I'm not sure it'll stay at 10240, but will reserve judgment until after July 29. *Smile

I don't expect ISOs at the same time we get the Windows 10 upgrade . . . Microsoft just doesn't have enough servers to allow all us Insiders to get Windows 10 Final and the ISO both. I do think we'll get access to ISOs in advance of others, though. Since MS is already giving everyone the free upgrade, I'd say early access is our "reward" for testing Windows 10.

 

Monsoon season here in New Mexico. Hot with some afternoon thunderstorms. This year has been nice and wet, and the forecast for Wednesday is for dancing girls and balloons. Maybe some cake and Coke to, to appease the masses.

 

38 - 40 c (over 100f) last few days, I'm hardly coping with it and my poor processor with all those coolers is hitting close to max. I should start saving for air conditioner for next year. Once upon a time I could handle high temps very good, used to walk on the beach in black suit and freak everybody out but now it's getting difficult. Either getting too old or those 25 years in Canada are taking toll, now I can handle cold better than hot.

*Doh I know Microsoft doesn't remove links. I just tested out the links, all work now. The link didn't work earlier. The faq was down for a little while. Microsoft probably is doing some maintenance.

 

So once Windows 10 gets released, I want to format my HDD and do a fresh, clean install of Windows 10, and then install all the programs I use.

I have a lenovo Y510P with Windows 8.1 x64.

How can I do that since I have no DVD neither a partition with Windows 10 files, like my original partition of Windows 8.1 from lenovo?

Right now I can format my "C:/" partition, but I'd have still a partition with my Windows 8.1, that came of course with the laptop.

 

Judging by the way it is with insider edition, once all the files for W10 are downloaded, you will have install.esd file out of which you can make an ISO for new W10 installation.

 

Grief, desperation and dashed expectations is what I expect on 29th July. *cry

 

Ah.. why??

 

MS has said that once you have the upgrade they will provide an ISO to clean install, no need to make your own.

 

Simply because it won't be like Christmas - people will end up wishing they hadn't signed up if the download takes a long time; if their system gets screwed; if they hadn't made good backups; if they don't have enough space; if the installation just doesn't finish, and a million and one other things that won't work out of the box as expected.

 

I see what you mean now. Well,, there will be a lot of that around here on the 29th I suspect. Busy times. :fear:

 

Will Windows 10 appear on MSDN on 29 July?

 

I don't know but the upgrade will start on that date.

 

Hope they give some warning of a type: "We are ready to download files for upgrade, Y/N/Later ?" so it doesn't catch people unaware and can plan download and installation at their leisure like overnight etc.
