I had originally intended to do a dry run of 10240 to 10586 on the old Asus and posting here about it to get a handle on how well both went. The update was hellish even before this issue of missing BIOS setup at boot, Feedback here was the bomb!
I had thought I'd ask here about what might be the recommended method for updating the Toshiba that I had uninstalled 10586 from when it 1st came through (had to do that to install a Toshiba update 1st). But at this point I'm pretty convinced that the best method to update 10240 to 10586 again is to run Media Creation Tool and just select the default "Upgrade this PC now" option. It seems that works a lot like the way Windows Update does by first examining the existing OS configuration, and then deciding exactly which fines to download and install.
On the Asus I had Media Creation Tool download the whole ISO and made the huge mistake of trying to update from that via a virtual drive from within 10240. Don't ask... I have no idea how it got into my head to go that route other than just end of the day exhaustion.
It's late now here, and if updating the Toshiba goes like it did after I finally re-installed Windows 7 on the Asus, and then just letting Windows Update take it to it 10586... it'll take a few hours. So I think I'll wait and do it tomorrow.
I did create 2 images of the drive too... one with Win10's own Backup and Restore, and one with Acronis 2016. Hopefully one or the other will restore a decent image if needs be. There's so much new to me in Windows 10, I really want to dot all the i(s) and cross every t before I risk doing something stupid to the new Toshiba.
