yeah, but you had already posted that, so I thought I'd just add another alternative source.

I'd like to know that too as the link gareth170 provided to the new media creation tool only mentions Windows 7 and 8.1.

Mines just popped up too in my software update!

It only showed up on my desktop and failed, and even though I have the option to share downloaded updates with other systems on my network none of them got it.

Updated.

All went well.

I'm not liking some of the changes. The context menus, such as when you right click the taskbar or the power button on the start menu, are a disaster for me - I prefered the previous menus.

I still can't get away with the coloured title bars for me, I will need to find a way to change these - the colours are too either too bold for me or they just don't look nice.

Turn the feature off then.

It's only one toggle switch and it's back to how it's always been.

Just done this myself as I don't really like the coloured bars either.

To be honest, I'm trying to find something which is more like Windows 7 - not bold and in your face.

Updating all my computers via Windows updating. So far so good.

My current installation of 8.1 has a blue-grey colour on the taskbar and titlebars - I think it's the same colour from Windows 7. But I find it easy on the eyes and not at all bold.
