The win7 key goes into win10 now which is useful, not sure who said what lol. Just need to transfer w7 files over or the whole account would be ideal but I dont think it likes that

Where is the current Windows 10 home 1511 iso download located?

-edit
scratch that using their media creation tool instead
hopefully it will be the up to date version now

It was withdrawn earlier in the week after rumoured glitches. Official guidance is to install the July version, then update.

Its back though isn't it.
It was only pulled due to it changing some of the privacy settings around, which set them back to default. Swear I read it's been fixed and it's been re-released.

I downloaded MCT again yesterday and it was the original release, not the November version...
As for as I know, if you still kept the November MCT it will download the November ISO so don't delete it yet if you still have it!

I downloaded the Media Creation Tool from here and it downloaded the 1511 ISO image for me.

It also looks exactly the same file that I downloaded on 12/11/2015 - same size, version etc. :confused:

News to me, I'll have to check.

I tend to look at it from a work related perspective. The information I saw mid-week related to issues with the ADK (Assessment and Deployment Kit), System Centre and some BitLocker issues.

The last cumulative update provides the fixes which normally gets applied during installation.

Aye it is 1511, it only does one single update after it is installed.
Then you put office on and it wants to update and update and update

Such is life, not moving to 365 just yet.

It depends what sort of license you had with Windows 7. If it was an OEM license, you will need to purchase a new Windows 7, 8.1 or 10 license. If it was a retail version of Windows 7, I believe you will first need to install that, and then upgrade. Although that part of it might have changed.

If you haven't already done so it might be worth seeing if your key will work with the latest download version of Windows 10 which you can do via their media creation tool at https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10

Good Luck!

That part of it hasn't changed, if you have a retail key then you can ask Microsoft to deactivate it and give a windows 10 key in return.

That's what I did recently.

What kind of space on disk is windows 10 taking up? Some of the machines I have come across with windows 7 on have a c:\windows folder in excess of 50GB.

NeilF · 2 Dec 2015 at 14:39

Has anyone upgraded a machine to Windows 10 running Fences 2.3?

I've got it on my Windows 8.1 machine and I'm wondering if I can just upgrade and all will be OK?

I no longer use Fences, however, I did upgrade, it warned me that he program will need reinstalling and when I did the upgrade and reinstalled it, it did keep all the settings and so on.

This was with Fances 2.1 and so I think that if anything it will be even more compatible and so I would say that it should be just fine.

That is about the size of my 'Windows.old' folder, after an on-line update to Windows 10 (from 8.1) a couple of days ago!
