Hi Shawn,
Just a quick update..besides taking a VERY long time to 'upgrade' my Acer Aspire 5100-3357 to Windows 10, I have discovered the upgrade from Windows 7 SP1 Home Premium Edition 32 bit didn't go as expected. Upon first bootup I found my system to be as SLOW as molasses, so this morning I'm doing a 'reset this pc' procedure. If all else fails, I can always just go back to windows 7 sp1 and then do a 'clean' install. Have a GREAT day !!

I've asked a moderator to move this to a separate thread. Please see here:

I just used the "Step 4" method to upgrade my dual boot W10 Home & Linux Mint 18 laptop.
Unsurprisingly the Anniversary Upgrade broke the GRUB boot setup.
I was able to fix that issue using grub rescue.
Apart from some random Settings changes, everything else seems to be working correctly. :)
The Media Creation Tool (MCT) has been updated for Windows 10 Creators Update Version 1703 Build 15063.13 RTM. :)

Just refreshing my memory on all this. Although I'm going to clean install the CU, I'm also intrigued to try an upgrade install on my present set up and see that for doing that I should run setup.exe from the bootable media. Last upgrade install I did was when Vista came out (lol).
I'll be very interested to see how clean vs upgrade turns out. All that is for tomorrow and onward... its the wrong end of the day here :)
Thanks for the info Shawn, mounting the ISO in File Explorer was always my preferred method.
And with the specs on my work station, it took only 15 minutes after clicking setup.exe:)
I never did an upgrade on it yet till now, since I bought it, wow it can go fast.
I'll do my old slow laptop tomorrow, though.
