Does anyone know how to change the touch input with the Surface 3?
If I press my finger into the URL box, nothing comes up, so I have to manually press the keyboard which is a pain.
If I press it with my pen, it'll bring up the hand writing, and then I have to select the keyboard.
I just want to press with my pen and it to bring up the keyboard.
Flipping it's basic stuff MS. Never happened on the Insider Preview.

I'm going to answer my own question here in case it helps anyone out.
My symlinks caused the whole upgrade to fail. What I ended up doing was;
Moved the Music and Pictures out of the D:\Users folder.
Deleted the symlink in Explorer
Dropped to the recovery console and used robocopy to return the Users folder to the C: drive
Did the upgrade to Windows 10
Dropped to the recovery console and used robocopy to return the Users folder to the D: drive
Moved the Music and Pictures back into the D:\Users folder.
Re did the symlink
All seems to be working OK...I hope!

Just to let you folks know I am changing the structure of my ISO files to include English.US and English.UK versions.
I am also adding SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, CRC32 and MD5 text files to the structures.
This will be on going throughout today.

Just the languages that is all, I put the US ISO files up rather than the UK versions.
I assume most will be in UK so I might as well get it right. 
I also want to move couple of the folders but not sure if that will effect the links and can't change them until Danny is online so he can edit the links in the first post.

Yeah but if you select English (UK) during installation (which it'll do automatically if upgrading from an OS using English (UK)) there's no difference?
English only version, i dont think your get Cortana working if you use that, as i think its only supported with usa speaking language at the moment ? mind you, i aint got that working anyway, even with usa language selected.

I have Cortana working in the English.US edition. All I did was add the English.UK language pack. This is another reason why I am going to add the UK versions to the drives.
That will be fun for you

Danny, check your emails! I didn't see you online there buddy.
It's taking me ages to update everything, just uploading UK versions of the ISO's now!

I think the link's had expired, ive fixed them now
I know why the microsoft ISO's stopped working anyway. It was because the link it generates for you to download it only lasts 24 hours. So ill keep updating the offical links for a couple more days i think after that people can download the mega one or go get it themselfs
No worries mrbell just let me know.

Am i right in saying that altering some of the privacy settings can stop Cortana from working?
I did alter some, but even when i try to enable Cortana, it says Cortana isint supported in the region and language you selected, but i chouse all english uk.
Until MS see sense and bring back the feature officially. Here's a work around fir one drive place holder files

Trying to do a clean install after upgrading, downloaded one of the iso files in the OP, used rufus to create a install USB stick but however i set the bios it comes up as a read error even though everything was created ok.
Ideas?

Must be a corrupted download?
