I've been following all the replies and so on since I last posted...
I got curious and set my Acer (running the public release of W10) to the fast ring to get the latest build...
It did all update OK to the latest build but it took around 9 hours because (you've guessed it) the buggy driver issue remains, and my good driver installs were overwritten. From the desktop appearing some 9 hours after starting, it took another hour to open device manager and disable the driver. As soon as that was done its off and flying again.
Also noticed that the graphics driver was returned to the MS default one. I'm pretty sure that this is something that has changed because I don't recall having to install an old driver when I initially installed TEN some months ago.
I should have read Shawns TUT more closely as I think I might have been able to apply the reg Key to the original installation before I switched to the fast ring. Would have been interesting to see if the drivers were retained... and it would have saved hours if they were.
Custom DPI and font settings were not retained, probably because of the driver 'update'. What was surprising was that all my custom start layouts were retained and also that after a full disk clean I was well over 1Gb up on the deal despite always being meticulous about keeping the system clean.
What doesn't work is a custom start tile link to a single web-site that I use a lot. Looks like I will have to delete and recreate that one. It opens OK, but also opens all the other tabs I have set as home pages in the normal opening of 'Edge'. The custom tile (also pinned to the taskbar) should just open the one site.
Actually, I'm deeply impressed on the whole.
