before you do a clean install of windows 10 you will need to upgrade from windows 8.1 to windows 10 and then once this has been done you can do a clean install but you cannot do a clean install unless you have done the upgrade first

no and no

you have to upgrade from w8.1 first..

or be a windows insider use the win10 TP which is pre keyed

thanks guys

Hmm...

So you can't install the Preview through Windows Update on a compressed OS, which is basically any small capacity tablet running 8.1, like the Stream 7. Does anyone know if this restriction will extend into the final release too?

If so, it means nobody with a compressed OS will be able to get the free 10 upgrade

.

Might risk asking in Microsoft Answers...

Build 10159 being pushed to fast ring tonight/tomorrow http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2015/06/30/whoa-another-pc-build/

That was fast.

They are being rather coy about what the "one interesting change is"?

10159 released to the fast ring (available now)
10160 released to the manufacturing (not available until July 29th 2015)

Already! Only just updated all 4 of my Win 10 computers.

AthlonXP1800 · 30 Jun 2015 at 22:42

Now downloading 10159 pretty fast much better than last night.

Skeeter · 30 Jun 2015 at 22:43

10159 downloading now.

Lets see what this "one interesting change" is...

bulldog147 · 30 Jun 2015 at 22:48

10159 downloading now

AthlonXP1800 · 30 Jun 2015 at 22:49

Wow download completed after 6 mins, that has to be fastest I ever seen in any previous build. :eek:

Restarting...

Martini1991 · 30 Jun 2015 at 23:12

It's a bit meh that the Xbox One Preview update is invite only. Means I can't do the streaming.
It's my brothers Xbox One and he's not in the preview update

Skeeter · 30 Jun 2015 at 23:13

Can you sign into the Xbox as you?

My 10159 has restarted, but I'm staring at the slow moving blue circle of 'Upgrading Windows' doom...

Wouldn't make any difference would it?

If anyone can invite him, his gamertag (Cringeworthy) is RR Gangsta Anth

Are you in the Xbox Preview?

No, I don't have an Xbox One

My brother does. Just on the Xbox App on my S3 Pro, I sign in as him to test the features. But streaming wants the Xbox One on a preview build.

Skeeter · 30 Jun 2015 at 23:19

Ah ok sorry. Then no it won't. I assumed you were in the Preview.

Carry on, nothing to see here

Martini1991 · 30 Jun 2015 at 23:21

I'm assuming I just need someone to give him an invite, then he can do the beta.
Proper shame, I've been waiting for this for months. Didn't think I'd get stuck at the last hurdle.

I have no idea what the big update is in this new build, except that new log in background.

Skeeter · 30 Jun 2015 at 23:23

Might be worth asking in the Console forum, there may be some friendly users in there who can wing an invite over to you?
