Media Creation Tool Question

I wouldn't go to 10586. To many problems with it. Stick with 10240.

Silly advice as pc will try and automatically upgrade again and then you will need to block updates to stop that.

It is not silly advice as I have upgraded over 15 PC's to Windows 10 10586, including my own PC, and had constant problems with it on all setups. Driver crashes, Windows explorer crashes, plus boot time went from about 10 seconds to between 3 to 4 minutes on all of them. There are tons of threads everywhere of users having these issues. I reverted back to Windows 10 10240 and all of those problems went away. If others aren't experiencing any problems with the November update, then awesome, but I posted based on my experience with the November update. Heck, I had to use the media creation tool 4 times to get a working ISO for the November update. Yes it will automatically install the November update but it can be deferred.

3 of my upgrades were done by Windows Update while the others I made a USB stick, and burned a DVD, and all systems had the same symptoms. These occured on both UEFI and non UEFI systems. I always skip Windows updates during a standalone install. I'm happy you didn't have a problem. Wish I could have a successful install of the November update, unless Microsoft has released new install media of the 10586 software initial release.
