First Major Update for Windows 10 Available
-
I clean installed on my wife's laptop by mounting the ISO created with MCT.
Interesting. How would the setup files be accessed during the clean install since all the files would have been erased?

To clean install you have to put the installation files on an external location (USB drive, DVD or something) and boot from that.

A clean install from the iso setup.exe is not a 'bare metal' clean install; during installation it asks if you want to keep files, etc. or not, and it pins a list of your 3rd party programs to the desktop.

When you first install , it will tell you what version is installing

If you downloaded the proper bit version, (32bit or 64bit), it should ask you which OS version you want to install during installation.

Does the media creation tool iso work with enterprise version to update, thanks.
No, it doesn't. Only Home or Pro. Won't work with the Education version either. And I don't think Enterprise will be updated via Windows update either. Not to a new build anyway. Just a hunch at this point. You may have to do it manually with an ISO. You'd have to go to where ever you originally got your enterprise Edition for the install/upgrade media. I'm running Enterprise on my laptop but have already clean installed 10586 with my MSDN ISO. The only thing on it was Office and MDOP.

perfect... thank you

The ISO file is a Multi-Index installation file
Index 1 = Pro
Index 2 = Home..
If doing a clean installation (Booting from Setup media) it will ask you for a product Key, if you skip the product key entry - it will ask you which version to install..
Doing an upgrade will not ask for key or version..

Glad to see you found a way and got 'er done.
You're surprised!?
The overall Windows experience these days is excellence; better than it ever has been! Yet, to those with minor computer skills, things like "Upgrade" sounds wrong. Upgrade sound like I'm changing my Windows 10 PC into Windows something-completely-different where in reality, it's a major update. All went very smoothly & I'm sure the next "upgrade" will go smoothly thanks to everyone here on this forum.
Thank you all!
