Woke Up and Found Win10 Upgrade already Downloaded

anyone on 8.1 seen this file yet or are you all on 7?

I have 8.1 Pro and it just finished downloaded 4.6 GB. I sort of hope it will still ask me before it installs.

The C:\$Windows.~BT folder now sizes up at 3.1 GB and the folder also has a 2.63 GB install.esd file.

But there's some background download going on at full speed. Not sure what else is coming in.

PS - Task Manager shows a Windows 10 setup.exe running along with Windows Update and Modern Setup Host.

But no prompts to proceed with the upgrade just yet.

It is also going to download critical updates and new drivers if needed

I have cloned my windows 8.1 partition to my windows 10 preview partition
and deleted the upgrade from my windows 8.1 partition
and will upgrade the new windows 8.1 / 10 partition

C:\$Windows.~BT is only 140mb

that's good right?

yes - that is also why I created an ISO out of the actual Upgrade folder
It has all the updated info for the PC

Mine downloaded in two pieces, first was 140mb then the rest about 29 mins later. Check your C: $windows-BT folder.

These are Windows 10 PCs, right? I don't find $windows-BT in Windows 8.1.
