Rant mode on.
WTF are Microsoft playing at ?
Having carried out a couple of Windows 10 upgrades and a complete fresh install of W10 on my own PC from a USB memory stick (with just a bit of hassle), Ive just arrived at a friend's house for a cup of tea and decided I'd upgrade his machine. I was going to use my USB drive, but he pointed out that the upgrade had already downloaded and was asking for permission to install. I thought it would be a good idea to see how the "built in" install behaves.
15 minutes later, and it's still "Working on it". with no progress indication, just the rotating dots and intemittent flickering of the disk activity LED.
Is it not beyiond the technical capability of those clever bods at Miscrosoft to give us at least a bit of an idea of how far the install has proceeded ? We're sitting here wondering if anyone really is "Working on it" or they`ve nipped down the local for a crafty couple of pints.
It's now closer to 20 minutes since I started the process, and I'm wondering if the overclocked CPU and SSD that I recently installed for him were worth the money.
