    Has anybody got any action on Windows 10 build 10240? Any prompts or messages? I got the validating message in Windows 8.1 Pro on my desktop PC. Only just turned my laptop on so nothing on that yet.

    EDIT: laptop now shows almost ready in the GWX App.

    Aka: do a reset? Not a bad idea considering what may have been carried over from older builds or even the prior os.
    Is just doing a reset good enough or should I do a clean install from a new iso.

    So much for the return of Aero Glass to Windows.

    Also this garbage about Edge being blazing fast....
    I guess so when it's not doing anything other than regular browsing.
    Where's the addons? No themeing, no Adblock, no ABILITY to use other browsers app or some crap?

    Who's idea was it to make Windows look like a sterile operating room?
    I may be testing Win 10 as of this minute but there is no way I am giving up 7 and my pimped out Aero Glass and themeing capabilities along with Fire Fox.
    Microsoft has given me ZERO reason to upgrade, sorry.
    You know how irritating it is to open up a folder, position it on one side of your screen then it refuses to retain it's shape and position?
    Any idea when you do that with 30 more folders because that is something I do on a daily basis.
    They took that feature out with Vista and never returned it. Why?
    Microsoft means lack of choice and that's another reason why I will never upgrade even though the price is FREE.
    I agree with you about Edge - it is nowhere near ready for prime time. However, you certainly can install Firefox - that's what I use, and it runs perfectly well.

    I prefer the look and feel of Windows 7 as well, but having used Win10 since the first preview back in October, I can work with it. You don't ever have to deal with most of the Modern UI stuff - just stay in the Desktop. You can even install the free ClassicShell and get a regular old start menu like you're used to.

    The ISO didn't work for me. I downloaded the ISO file, created a DVD and then inserted the DVD and the pop up claims that I need a 64 bit version. I was very careful when I downloaded that ISO, I chose English, Home Edition and 64 bit. I am doing it again right now to see if the next ISO file is in anyway different than the first one I downloaded. By the way, the first one is only 2.41 gb, so maybe it is the wrong one.

    You guys realize 10 was pushed ahead of the projected Oct. release date? Some things just didn't make it. They wanted to make the start of school for oem's.

    I'm sure Edge will be ready by the fall update as they stated, along with Skype messaging integration and other things that didn't make it. The same time new 10 hardware like SP4 and flagship 10 phones are to arrive. It's annoying I can't use any of those, but i'm not waiting. I can still use FF. And there are many reasons for me to upgrade. I have ZERO reasons to stay on an outdated os that doesn't offer any touch benefits.

    That was 3 years ago with Windows 8. I've moved on.

    Where did you DL the ISO from?

    Dual Boot: Win10 & Insider
       #1528

    Been dual booting insider preview and W7 for several months now...don't know what I was expecting today but the persistent bugs such as phantom notifications, blurry text and non-loading of apps (mail & news notably) mean I'll be sticking with trusty W7.
    Know W10 is a work in progress but thought it would have more polish come official release day!

    Don't confuse the 32 bit versus 64 bit setup file that you run to do the download, with what version you actually download. Two different choices.
