This is the easiest place: UUP-Dump miniserver (Online)

Select "Known Build" and from there all the parameters that match your current install
On last screen select "Download using aria2 and then convert" (downloads a zip with a bunch of scripts)
Extract the content to a folder on root of C
Open Elevated CMD
Run the script "aria2_download.cmd"
Watch the script download your UUP files
Press Y and ENTER when the script asks if you want to convert
Select option 1 "Create ISO with install.wim"
Watch the conversion process
Do your in-place upgrade
DONE!

Thanks Slice. After doing some shopping it seems to be nearing completion Install 80%. It's not got that high before. If this fails I'll try uupdump.

Well that’s was a unnecessarily painful upgrade, over 4+ hours, love to know the cause

3h 50min to the restart.

I am thinking of going back to the previous build, as recording audio is not working. How do you skip a build? Turn updates off ??

Windows Insider Blog (Dona) added the following to ''known issues''...is that right Watson..

[ADDED] If your PC appears stuck at “Preparing to install…” somewhere between the 80%-100% – please be patient and wait up to 30 minutes for this stage to complete.

Not counting time when power went off at the beginning and despite slow internet, finished in about an hour.

4+ hours last night left in a horrible mess the great bouncing install. Restored this morning 4.5 hours to the desktop with only one bounce. What a mess.

There is no Lean version in this build and the options "pin to taskbar" and "Unpin from taskbar" are not in the context menus of the taskbar buttons, at least in my case.

And after all that I don't appear to have sets.
