Just pulled both ISOs to my VPS if you want to give that a try

Thanks worked a treat. I think there is something going on with my ISP although I rang them and they said that according to the speedtests that we ran everything is fine.

I can't even download the Nvidia Win 10 TP drivers. I think I will ask if any other Plusnet Fibre users are experiencing slow downloads in the networking section.

Might sound silly, but have to ask, never considered installing a Windows preview before...

My MX100 SSD has 2 partitions, Windows 8.1 is installed.

If I clear the second partition, can I safely install the Windows 10 preview on the second partion using the "Windows Update" preview installer, keeping my 8.1 intact?

Anyone, please?

You won't be able to use the Windows Update method as that just updates your current OS rather than installing fresh onto a new partition.

If you want to install on the second partition and dual boot then you will need to download the ISO and burn that to DVD or make a bootable USB and then boot from that and choose to install to the second partition. You will then get the choice between loading 8.1 or 10 when you turn your PC on.
 
Thanks, had a feeling Windows Upgrade would overwrite my 8.1 installation, now to find out how to make one of my USB pens bootable with "googlefoo." :)
 
Use diskpart from an elevated command prompt

list disk
select disk X (X being the disk that is your USB stick)
clean
*create partition primary
format fs=fat32 quick
active
assign
exit
exit

*Unless your USB stick is over 16gb I tihnk it is, then you need to do
create partition primary size=5000
or whatever size you want due to limitations in filesystems and the likes..
 
thinking of dual booting 10 with 8.1, does easybcd still work to change boot orders, timeouts etc, as would still like to default boot to 8.1 after 5 second period.
 
For dual booting windows 10. I'll always use a vhdd and make it bootable. No need to mess with partitions and when the rtm is ready on msdn just delete the vhdd file and edit the windows boot stuff in config window. That's it job done.

any performance overheads verses natively installing to a partition?

Nope. It uses all the hardware like it should . It's just a virtual drive on a hdd. Use it on an ssd and it's rapid. Just a lot easier as everything is self contained with a vhdd file. No need to alter any existing partitions. Dual boots like it's a regular drive. My preferred method for beta os's. Just delete the vhdd file when ur done, and ur back to normal again.

Does anyone have a projector that can test if there projector works at 1080 using windows 10, using any graphics card? I tested on intel and hdmi and neither of them go to proper 1080. It shows that it is in 1080 but its not actually in 1080. I am wondering if my projector coincidentally stopped going to 1080.
 
Same as Win 8 is it not? Home, Pro, and then the Education and Enterprise versions.

I assume the reason for Home and Pro is to keep the licence cost down by removing features Home users never use.

Plus if there offering free upgrades they pretty much have to follow the structure of 7 and 8.

4x Windows 10 Pro upgrades for me please :D
 
Strange they merge phone and desktop os in to one but then still keep different versions, why not just make difference versions all together. Idiots.

As far as i am aware apple make different versions for their phone and desktop os. osx vs ios.
 
Anyone came across an 80070004 error when trying to update to 10 tech preview via windows update from 8.1

Trying to get my Toshiba Encore to upgrade and can't find my USB hub to do it from a flash drive and the touchscreen doesn't work in the installer.
