Yeah but they are all the same language and location. The desktop that did see the upgrade was the second computer that I tried. :) Being Home or Pro didn't have anything to do with it either.

I see, you are referring to your personal experience.
You could try the Upgrade Assistant program on the puters that didn't get the upgrade yet if you like or.... just wait.

Thanks cereberus, I assume for the upgrade to Anniversary (not the clean install of it - thats for a later date) I choose keep files and apps during the setup process?

Download is complete; "Getting your update ready" progressed fairly quick to 80% but now has creeped to 85% after 10 minutes. So far, so good!

Your choice. A clean install will of course wipe out all the apps you manually installed.

Cheers,

DONT DO IT !!!!!! The update is a piece of garbage !!!!! Updated two computers and am having major issues with both of them. Edge does not launch 50% of the time. IE is extremely slow. Norton Security quit working on one computer. Firefox refuses to connect to the Internet on both computers. These are just some of the issues.

Hate what they did to the START MENU. I just got use to the Windows 10 Version and they changed it without the option to switch back. At least I have not been able to find a way to revert back to the old one.

Not sure what to say other than either revert to earlier / fresh install / "sfc /scannow or DISM" repair.

Four laptops, two tablets and two PC's, and the only issue i had was one tablet had the cortana issue (which a quick fix in the registery) was solved without major effort.

Sounds like the upgrade base may not of been as clean as MS would of expected. Lots of 3rd party app tweaks? did you check SFC before upgrade?

Yes.

I'm very happy with how it turned out.

I had to do much less tweaking than I expected, and pretty much everything I had configured already works just as it did before.

And I will either do MCT or download the ISO directly for any future major update/reinstall. Even the ISO is super simple...just download it to your hard drive, open the ISO file, and double-click on setup.exe.

I'll move the ISO to a flash drive tonight when I get home.

But if you have an M$ account One Drive will reinstall most of everything if you are synced, even after a clean install, most that is apart from what you install on the task bar or any preferences in the start menu.

Sure, that's a possibility.
I just don't use One Drive much as I see little point of having all of its contents duplicated to my HD anyway.
They should use direct links instead of storing a full copy locally IMHO.
