Well, now, that's just funny! A smiley face right in the middle of the path! Let's try again:

I know, but it gave me a laugh, so I thought others might enjoy it as well.

I'm kinda used to TV talking to me, I'm afraid it might take offense on my comments, specially on politics.

TBH on the voice thing Android TV & or Google search are kinda slow on these Sonys with Media Tek SoC CPU's outside the Sony 4K X1 Pro video monster silicon and sometimes you have to repeat yourself

OTOH if Coratnna wises up a decent x86 Win 10 HTPC with her running it she might be the boss like some Creston controllers are now

I agree Windows 7sp1 was /is more reliable and consistent all along ......TBH I kinda miss that bank vault dependability you never know what's going to happen on any Windows 10 th2 or rs1 PC every time you boot it ,update it or while you use it .........

I never liked the 8's

With 7 MS actually put the efforts into seeing that become a working OS and why it is in the lead as far as OSs go. Once people saw it as the long awaited for working version not a work in progress OS they migrated to it and have been staying with it in contrast to how long it took for MS to come out with SP3 long needed for XP and Vista needing that SP2 to get a good working OS going.

With 8 as MS soon realized it was a rush job to preview a new dual platform OS followed by seeing a number of corrections take place in the soon to come after 8.1 with 10 now being what 8 should have been a working OS still needing additional repairs. The initial reactions to 8 after seeing a success story with 7 was the main turn off for most!

One of the first things I do is create a folder for the current build and put install.esd inside it.

On the second not first Storage/Backup drive I have a main folder with several subs for working with 10 files some being the complete iso downloads while the esd and wim files get renamed to Insider_14xxx_install.xxx in order to keep each build's esd or wim file separate from the others.

What I did here was take the entire BT folder from the latest upgrade seen on the second remote pc and see that copied/transferred onto the 7 Pro vm for the test of an upgrade from 7 to 10 on VM to see how that would turn out. The Disk Cleanup then simply cleared off the BT and Windows.old folder to free up the drive space those took up.



As for the sound bug seen on the main neither the second remote desktop or VM ran into any problem using the onboard sound indicating the problem while I still have working sound on the main but only when right clicking on a browser window's menu bar does the wav file sound off not on the main desktop or when minimizing, maxizing the same window or anything else. The upgrades however on both desktops and the other VMs as well have all turned out problem free so far with the one exception being with the Creative software. A total removal and fresh W8.1 update would likely be the solution.

For the next build however since the sound card's software/drivers will be removed the BT or WS folder containing all of the files in the Windows sub folder will then be tranferred over to the main for a manual run of the setup.exe for the physical upgrade from folder rather then by the WU. Since the 7 VM to 10 upgrade went well this should be a rather interesting test to see if preserving the BT or WS plus Sources\Windows folder will make an effective repair by manual upgrade option. The clean install by TH2 upgrade by WU to the latest build has already been tried.
