Ditto on "Preparing to install -- 100%." All three test machines are sitting there waiting for the next shoe to drop!
Thanks for the heads-up, guys!

I'm at about 50% of DL. Acording to task manager, in prepare to install stage it was downloading just bits at a time, now it's full speed im large but intermittent chunks.

All done. 57 minutes, including ISO. It spent 25 minutes in "Blind Mode" churning away with Update Orchestrator. Gee, MS, can't ya maybe pop some little progress messages up? Please? Was running it in split screen with taskmanager just to make sure it hadn't died! :)

I think this build is very quick. Everything snaps right into place so quickly. Cinebench gave me a 1784!!!! System once again, is rocking... Now, off to check the new stuff.
Mine finished in about 48 mins, and almost all of that was downloading and installing. Once I hit restart, it blasted through that part in less than five mins.

Status: Installing, remarkable little CPU, RAM and disk usage, running single thread.

you're past preparing. It's downhill now

At 40% of installing stage, it's downloading some more.
Mowing right along, at 44% disk usage just jumped to 90% +. Also running on all cores/threads now,CPU usage 80%. This looks like a stage when computer performance comes into play.
