Uh huh . . . looky here!
I am back on my main computer with 10049 finally installed. And yes, at least 24 hours and one or two to get things back into shipshape! This has been an experience that I don't want to repeat.
What is really strange, though, is that the original upgrade install from 10041 to 10049 only took a couple or three hours (I didn't time it, but started somewhere around 9:00 PM and didn't get to bed until after midnight). Why so long this time?
I went back to 10049 which I think was a mistake. I can't wait for the next build to come out.
Here's an interesting twist to super-long upgrade times....
Heres how to drastically cut upgrade time with no need for an SSD - Microsoft Community
One time that I installed 10049 took about 4 hours.. Today it took 45 minutes. Beats me why??
Clean install will take a much shorter time. No windows.old to create and all that stuff. No user apps to save. Update route may take hours and hours. This particular time, there have been many, many different reports of time from 20 mins to 12 hours! MS knows there's a glitch in their setup prog and won't let another one like that out of the barn! That's why 10049 never made it to slow ring and no ISO's.
Sorry guys, just finishing installiing 10049. . I started at 7:43 PM and finished at 8:44 PM. My download speed according to Speedtest.com is 73.8 mb/s over a 100 mb/s ips. Now time to play around. . .:)
Installation went well. It was fast enough, though the initial setup wasn't. I can see some improvements, most important for me the resizing of Start Menu.
A glance and a Settings Tour (Video in FF), though I omitted Personalization by accident
