It should eventually be coming down via Windows Update.

Ya think? (ducking and running)

Still nothing......

Checking WU right now. Goes off to look for other sources: not yet available on MSDN downloads/MyVisualStudio Subscriptions. Windows 10 Update Assistant still shows an April 2018 date. Am getting zip through WU right now, too. Perhaps it's going to take a while? Drat!

PS: nothing through Insider Channels, either. In the immortal words of Gary Larson "What is this? ... Some kind of cruel hoax?"


This just popped up (3:55 PM CDT). Let the games begin!


Building install media using MCT right now. Still don't see it in WU.

[57 minutes later] Now getting it from WU here in TX. Seems to go faster by WU than MCT, curiously enough.

[18 hrs later] First two machines upgraded without issue, though it did take a long time on both the Asrock Extreme7+ i7-6700 mobo and the Lenovo T520 (dual-core i7 mobile Haswell). The Lenovo X220 Tablet failed on the first try, and I fired off the post-GUI reboot just before going to bed last night. It was complete and working when I got to me desk this morning.
