So did anyone get spring creators update?

As for the 30th, will it start rolling out on the 30th and onwards or will we have to manually upgrade to it if we want it on the 30th?

The rollout starts on May 8th. If you want it before that it's a manual upgrade.

The ISO should get updated today.

So, what happens if I download the ISO using MCT on May 8th? Will I get a newer version? Is it safe to download it as soon as it is available (from April 30th onwards)?

Once an iso is issued, it rarely gets updated unless some issues are detected which might prevent normal updates being installed. In one week, this will not happen. It will be the same version.

I would not advise anyone to do anything for the next few days, with the potential for the release to be later today, there is a high chance that Microsoft servers will get a refresh at any time

Hi there

I'm testing the old (1803.1) version on a "junk PC" so I don't care if the whole thing doesn't work, riddled with errors etc

Then I'll try and force an update and see what happens

Don't know why people were complaining about slow downloads -- Server speed seemed OK to me.



Note though this is not the official latest builds that you get on the insider rings although it is genuinely from Ms servers -- use A.Y.O.R, back your current system up before using if using on a computer you regularly use and unless you have a spare machine I'd go for a VM if you really want to test. Convert esd to ISO as explained in the forum and agaion A.Y.O.R.

I changed the file name for download - so nothing wrong there either.

BTW You can still get activation from old qualifying W7 (and W8/W8.1) keys - how long that will work -- no idea though. I'm still using some from my old TechNet subscription keys. !!

cheers

Just wait for when thousands start upgrading, speed will drop considerably.
