Windows 10

Cuchulainn · 28 Jul 2015 at 23:13

My install has frozen at 92% with configuring settings at 69% below. Any ideas?

Is the "wuauclt.exe /updatenow" command supposed to start the download to the $Windows.~BT folder? If that's the case it isn't working here

When we upgrade what happens to the drivers? Is it a fresh install or will stuff copy over from windows 8.1

Would prefer a totally fresh install

Just upgrade then do a fresh install immediately afterwards

That's my plan anyway which I hope to achieve tonight

Yup, latest one was found and installed today (one being for the Windows 10 notification and another being a Windows Defender update).

Did you 'reserve' via the Get Windows 10 pop up?

Anyone know how much space you need to install? Got v small SSD

Sort of the same idea as doing a fresh install within windows 8. There is an option somewhere in the settings where you can do the equivalent of a factory reset.

Im waffling, let me find the correct info for you

Edit:

Yes. Once you’ve upgraded to Windows 10 using the free upgrade offer, you will be able to reinstall, including a clean install, on the same device. You won’t need to purchase Windows 10 or go back to your prior version of Windows and upgrade again.

You’ll also be able to create your own installation media like a USB drive or DVD, and use that to upgrade your device or reinstall after you’ve upgraded.

Im not 100% sure how to do it without USB or disk - as I have neither at the moment. removed my DVD drive

You guys just letting windows reset itself to factory? Or are you going to delete all the partitions and install it with a disk?

ED209 · 28 Jul 2015 at 23:19

I just got this option through install, may delete everything and see what happens as may save me doing a re install after?

Yep. But there's no need to reinstall, just hit Reset PC from within Windows 10

I will choose to keep nothing, that will be good enough for me.

Danny091 · 28 Jul 2015 at 23:20

Yeh you can do that. I picked keep however things where screwed up when i loaded into windows 10 so ive got it reseting itself to default now.

muon · 28 Jul 2015 at 23:21

Would you guys get rid of the recovery partition when doing a clean install?

I see no real reason of reverting back to 8.1 with the way 10 resets itself.

MOOGLEYS · 28 Jul 2015 at 23:22

Not seeing the point in a fresh install on Win 10 tbh. It is based on Win 8.1 so I doubt doing an upgrade will cause any issues. I hope not anyway as I cannot be bothered re-installing everything. I can now guarantee I will be the one with the failed update....

So "wuauclt.exe /updatenow" works if you do not have the file?

I think it's due to MS doing it in waves.

I think you'll have to install the new Window 10 drivers for your hardware which is why I have downloaded all drivers ready :d
