Windows 10

[wildest_jjk]

Keep pressing the activate button / wait. It seems to be a load issue on the activation servers.

Thanks it's now worked after a couple of restarts!

Do you have any idea why this System reserved partition is being made on my secondary drive?

Cheers for all the help!

Trying to use the media creator tool, it downloads win 10 fine but when creating the USB it gets to 50% then fails with "something happened" error.

So frustrating trying to get this to work!

Just use my iso's from the Windows 10 FAQ http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18684092

I just get 'we couldn't update the system reserved partition' no matter what I try

Wow so many people have issues with Windows 10 update.

Ran Windows Update troubleshooter fixed issues and 1 other error code fixed then tried again and still getting windows update error code 80240020.

Will try again one more time delete everything in SoftwareDistribution\Download and $Windows.~BT folder.

If everything fail again then I will give up and wait for my 2 new 4TB hard drives delivery Thursday to backup all 4 PCs then try run the iso to install Windows 10 within Windows 8.1 hopefully will go smoothly.

Updated mine last night as smooth as butter. Then did a full reset as I like having a fresh install and so far its very very smooth and snappy. I haven't come across any issues at all.
The only thing I want to change is the Automatic Updates..mainly GPU drivers as I like to download those myself.

I have the "cant install as you have a 980ti" message. So I downloaded the ISO via the Tool. Uninstalled nvidia drivers to be sure. Upon reboot the Windows 10 app has now disappeared. So I tried to install from the ISO. Gets upto the install button, seconds later a window pops up saying "Windows 10 Install Failed [OK]" then nothing. Event Viewer says nothing. Bit of a farce.

Sacking off the upgrade and staying with 8.1 for now.

OK, how do you delete the C:\$Windows.~BT folder once you've uninstalled the KB?

Taken ownership, changed permissions, tried everything from an elevated prompt or Explorer... stops me every time saying I need administrative privileges. Yes, I have them.

C:/ Properties - Disk Clean Up - Clean Up System Files - Windows Temp Downloads (Can't remember proper name) - tick box - Ok - Delete Files - Yes - Reboot - Gone

Well, forced the update, not one issue. 980ti recongised as well. Superb!

Clean install on my Surface Pro 3 is around 13.5GB.

Hmmm nice can you check Disk Management to see if C: partition is WIMboot after clean installed?

save the ISO to your PC

 

[Loxa]

Activated first time with no problem, now it is telling me i have to pay £189.99 for a Win 10 Pro key...

 

[Digital X]

Why on earth is it that much? That's what I'd expect for the AUS price..

Download the relevant tool from the link and create your own iso (Do not copy straight to usb), extract iso to usb stick with Rufus and run setup from within your existing windows. I did this and have got it activated.

Here's a guide how to do it.

Looking at the FAQ what amazes me is how much you can consider turning off or changing just to get it not being annoying.

Hope anybody didn't post this before but might be the BEST error message ever conceived.



SOMETHING HAPPENED

What the hell, Microsoft's own software can't use/see USB sticks that conform to the Windows 8 certifications, because it doesn't see them as removeable....

*golf clap*

NOTE: SanDisk is beginning production of flash drives configured as fixed disk in 2012 to meet new requirements for Windows 8 Certification.

Historically, flash drives have been configured as removable disks and Windows Explorer displays them as 'Removable Media'. Windows 8 Certification requires flash drive manufacturers to configure flash drives as fixed disks. Flash drives configured as fixed disk will show up in Windows Explorer as 'Hard Disk Drives'. Flash drives configured as fixed disks still function the same as those configured as removable disks.

You can still connect and disconnect the flash drives from the USB port without having to power off the computer. You can also still use the 'Safely Remove Hardware' feature when disconnecting.

My m18x r1 has just updated to windows 10.

Desktop nothing as yet. Says I may have a problem with my nvidia Mira cast audio devixe.?!? Not sure if that stops the download?

 

[Mr Paul]

Well having got past the "We couldn't update the system reserved partition" error.

I get this:-

0xC1900101_0x20017 The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation

Seriously M$, ready for the public???

I think not!

@varkanoid, the only big space saver in disk cleanup for me, is the "previous installation" of 27GB, kinda worried to remove it.. Would it be safe to do so? I know it may seem an odd question.
