Oh, well, there are plenty of worse places than the land of the maple leaf, Mike.

But not many colder, in any case they have Loony (a 1$ coin).

That's not the magic trigger, Kyhi, that is the RESULT of the magic trigger! I'm looking for the REAL magic trigger:)

Yea, gotta say, I would definitely hate the cold and snow in some places in the world.

I am an insider but never on this laptop PC. Also I used a different email while signing up for the laptop upgrade to avoid confusion with the desktop upgrade. Maybe that's the reason the laptop doesn't have the $Windows.~BT folder yet. My insider email was used for the desktop upgrade which has the $Windows.~BT folder. But, I don't see why it wouldn't work unless the $Windows.~BT drivers will only work on the desktop only, not the laptop.

I'll wait & see if it shows up on the laptop. So far, nadda.

BTW- HP has a link & for $30 they would manage the upgrade for you.

I knew they find a way to make $$ off of this!

I think because you used a different email account than your Windows Insider email means your laptop probably won't get the upgrade tomorrow. Which doesn't mean that the laptop won't get the necessary files between now and tomorrow. At this point, it's a tossup, since I've seen some who weren't Insiders say they've gotten the files.

Go to Windows Update and see what you see there. You should see this:

That will at least let you know you're on the right track.

I couldn't live without cold and snow (for part of the year). I love having seasons, and they are very obvious here in New Hampshire USA...

Do that upgrade through HP and you likely keep your OEM support after the upgrade. And HP will help you sort out any HP specific issues. They likely won't be so helpful if you do the free upgrade from Microsoft. They may even just tell you to call Microsoft its their problem. I'm not saying do it, just that you might actually get something for that 30 dollars. Help recovering if it fails would be one thing they'd offer.

Hi Bill, I assume you are referring to HAL... it was 16392 the last I checked...
on Win 7 at the moment to see if I get the update albeit this machine has already been upgraded on a different SSD.
(The only real reason I'll consider d/l'ng is if we get new keys - all else seems exactly what we already have.)

Thanks,

I was commenting on the two property pages (explorer and ntoskrnl) that you posted. Not really important though.

Please do post something if you get new keys, that I would be interested in knowing. I suspect not though, or if it is a new key, it might be hashed from the previous OS key (big guess there

)
