Hmmmm according to techradar...

6:00 EST: Windows 10 is now live in Amsterdam, Barcelona, Brussels, Geneva, Madrid, Milan, Rome, Vienna, and Zurich.

So why not here?

It's nearly 1am there?

Microsoft's servers are going to be getting hammered at midnight, pretty sure they would have beefed up their networks a bit.

Have you seen what they have allocated themselves?

Streaming Media is citing internal sources and is saying that Microsoft has reserved up to 40 Tbps with all of the key CDNs which is a massive amount of bandwidth. As of July 28th at 1PM ET, Microsoft is said to already be consuming over 10 Tbps and seeing that all regions are not yet online for deployment, it's only going to go higher.

The first wave of upgrades have pre-loaded. I would imagine they will then start the next wave tomorrow and continue in stages. I did read they are expecting a 21 day cycle for initial upgrades but unsure if it is true although it makes sense to keep server loads under control.

Apparently purchased 40Tbps bandwidth from the actual internet. For scale, the iOS 8 rollout used 5Tbps. This is probably the single largest internet event ever.

Guess my assumption was correct then.

Anyone know if drivers are kept when upgrading?

I'm going to download em otherwise just incase.

First problem.. Cannot get my Xonar DGX to work

I'm sure I read somewhere (was it on here?) that the Windows 10 release was going to show the highest amount of internet traffic in history.

ED209 · 28 Jul 2015 at 23:56

no issues here, copying iso to USB stick to do clean install

Considering the amount of PC's that will be upgraded I can believe it....

Damn getting an RSA key error with the esd decrypter.

But wouldn't have the majority of PC's already downloaded the update so the traffic would be minimal?
