So far 3 of mine have found the update and then failed to install it

Same here with a laptop running the release version of 10 Pro x64. Have updated the laptop using the 10586 ISO instead from MS and it upgraded flawlessly.

Desktop updated via the insider option (fast ring) from the release version of 10 Pro x64 to 10586 just fine.

yes Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 keys work.

i just did a clean installation using it with my win8 pro key

Thanks for confirming, was that the first time that system had received Windows 10 at all?

even when you clean install and install it using your win7/8/8.1 keys, it still uses the genetic key after.

about to start installing the update now

Hopefully device syncing actually works with Edge!

I don't understand MS logic with this Windows Update, why doesn't a downloaded update remain cached somewhere, surely they must get hammered on their servers for repeated downloads when such a simple fix would solve. Surely they are cached after a successful upgrade so that other devices on your network can benefit but seems odd that it's only cached after being applied. No sign of it showing up again for a second time after the earlier fail

This has now popped up on one of my three devices but it failed.

Check for updates again and it's disappeared.

Q. I just bought another 8Gb of ram to add to my existing 8Gb. This shouldn't affect my activation?

That might be due to the fact that at some point (not sure if its still the case) the installer package of CPU-z came bundled with hidden adware that was little better than malware.

Installed on all 5 of my computers, installed first time round on all of them.

Also did a fresh install on a spare PC using a Windows 7 key, also worked and activates fine.
