I just downloaded 10074 thru Windows Update. It works. Spartan still broke but I don't care.

I saw your post and I thought I'd test Spartan.
Testing... Spartan on b10102.

EDIT.
Ok that is just a simple test..

EDIT2:



EDIT3

Okay. I copy-paste image above from Spartan and it froze. It should at least respond and crash. But no. It froze. Unresponsive. CONFIRMED. Still broken. ("EDIT3" posted from Chrome) :)

Sigh. I still can't run Windows 10 at all. The forced Windows Update Intel Graphics driver (for the 5500 card in the i7-5500u) gives me a black screen, no cursor no nothing. Without a way to block this, and get a working driver, I can't run it at all. I haven't been able to get any build of 10 running.

Does anybody have an i7-5500u that has a working driver for 10? Pretty please?

It does go on black screen for a while sometimes after the update. Not just flashing black screen but a steady black screen for abt 45sec sometimes. Did you try waiting until it's done with the update?

It seems like something is interfering with the update or boot up process. I don't think it's the driver. It's supposed to be a generic driver. Did you eject your installer after installation? It may sound funny but sometimes USB peripherals like flashdtive or external hard drive do interfere with boot up.

I clean installed then connected to internet, let it download updates in the background and the screen just turns black. Left it for about 2 hours straight a couple times before I shut it off. Then rebooted, it shows the Dell logo and the spinning circles, then black screen. I again left it but to no avail unfortunately. Sucks because I really want to run Windows 10. I am going to install in a dual boot w/ 8.1 and fiddle with it...

This might just work:

Install Windows normally until you reach the first of setup dialogs, the Settings screen:

Do not click anything, instead press CTRL + SHIFT + F3. Windows reboots now to a so called Audit Mode, a special Windows customization mode using the built-in administrator account and a basic Windows display driver.

When in Audit Mode desktop close the Sysprep dialog by clicking the Cancel button, it will be shown in the middle of the desktop:

Spartan does not work in Audit Mode, nor does any other Modern apps so you need to start Internet Explorer. Do this by pressing WIN + R to open the Run dialog, type iexplore.exe and press Enter:

IE opens now. Go to Intel® Driver Update Utility page, download and install the Intel Driver Detection Tool and run it. It checks your system and installs the best possible driver for your Intel GPU. If Windows needs to restart after the installation, do it normally, Windows automatically returns to Audit Mode. This time when you see the Sysprep dialog again in the middle of the screen, click OK.

If no reboot was needed after the Intel GPU driver installation, right click the Start button, open Command Prompt and type the following command and press Enter:

Code:

%windir%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /oobe /reboot

Windows exits now the Audit Mode, you will be taken back where you started, the Settings dialog and can now continue the installation. The best possible Intel driver for your GPU should now be installed, Windows will not try to replace it.

Let us know if this worked.
