First Major Update for Windows 10 Available
-
I updated my ASUS T100 last night by wiping out the built-in SSD. I had a road block and the installation won't go through using the media creation tool. It stops at 22% and pops a message up that the installation was cancelled. Tried it 3x to no avail. I thought my 10 incher is screwed up and will be a paperweight. I download the ISO from Tech Bench and used a different USB flashdrive. Everything is good now. As for my main PC, I did an in-place upgrade with an ISO and seems to be fine. Still boots up in 10sec just like it did before the upgrade. Seems to be no issue so I will keep it that way for now.
Glad to hear someone else has converted their Asus T100. Was holding off on mine, did a reflect image and noticed that it has 4 partitions, 1=System(100MB), 2=Unformated Primary(120MB), 3= Windows C: (21GB), 4= Recovery(8GB). When installing 10586, I guess it will wipe out all 4 partitions?? Asus has some apps/programs that I like, guess will loose them? My T100 is w8.1 w/bing. Tx

I avoid GeForce Experience like the plague. All it's done for me in the past was cause issues. Just keeps crashing "has experienced a problem and stopped working" message. Something like that. I do a custom install and unselect it. Alond with all the 3D vision stuff. I just install what I need.

If you run 10586 as an upgrade/update = NO it will not wipe out the 4 partitions...

The windows 10 e mail client UI app linked to my ISP web mail works fine in my windows 10 10586.3 licencenced NTFS partition but on Insider 10586.3 volume . Images wont show in open mail in the e mail client app . It was that way before the last update from 10586 to 10586.3 on the Insider build.
I'll wait and see what the next complete new Insider build brings .
FWIW I've removed and re installed the offending e mail client app and no change .
Sent from Windows Insider 10586.3

Interesting, I remembered it did that only once a few years ago with one version when you clicked on a certain tab but they fixed that the next day and it hasn't happened since and has been working fine for me in Windows 7 all the way to Windows 10 RTM. I have 3D on my ASUS G74SX-3DE notebook so I need the 3D Vision.

No you don't have to wipe out the SSD. It's just an option. You can do an online upgrade or in-place upgrade by downloading the ISO. I just chose to do a clean install because I feel that it's building up a lot of crap already and I want to get back more storage space. There's still a 7GB original recovery partition that I need to get rid of. I can't delete it during the upgrade.

Seems like this also explains the issue I was having with Synaptics touchpad.
I basically have to get the synaptics version, as well as the intell rollback which i have now, and then stop windows update from updating these by following the directions.
So it wasn't really a windows 10 issue but more an hp/intel/win 10 interaction and at least has a temporary fix.

What would be the point, if any, of keeping them when doing an upgrade/update? My C: is only 21 GB, could "use" the 8GB from the recovery partition. Also thinking that the image restore should put me back to the starting point if needed??

Ok understand, don't think my putter has a SSD?? 30gb does not seem like a lot but love this little 10 incher Tx for reply

Well, I know I mentioned earlier in this thread that it's likely to be our impatience that's the cause of many of us having these installation problems, but alas, I gave in and used the 'MediaCreationTool.exe' method! (My excuse is that I am bored and currently housebound by 'Storm Abigail' here in UK but at least I still have the electricity and internet switched on.)
The installation went well on my 64-bit W10 Home laptop and to my great relief all my installed programs remained in place. I just had to adjust a few things like Icon/text sizes etc and some other small tweaks. Currently in the middle of updating another 32-bit W10 Pro machine via MCT and all going well so far. Happy days!
