I am wondering if some of the people having trouble downloading have downloaded prior leaked versions that are more buggy and are preventing downloading of the latest build???? Just a thought. As you say, be careful out there...

Have been doing clean install from 10130 from the insider preview, still no update for 10158. if you google unable to get 10158, there are people howling about this build not on update. It is one foot forward and two feet backward. What a joke.

As for the OS itself, I don't think that's the main problem. If only MS rolls out this new builds in ISO, it will be a more pleasant experience for insiders. After all, most of us wants to do a clean install especially coming from a build like the bug infested 10130. So, if MS wants to get a positive feedback during RTM, they should start with making the ISO available for everybody.

Online upgrade as a standard procedure is so dreamy.

1. Not everybody has a good internet connection.
and 2. The bugs from previous builds are preventing some of us to get the update.

Microsoft may sell Windows 10 Home and Professional on USB Flash drives | Windows Central

I was hoping we would get usb for free for the first year, maybe have to pay for shipping & handling like they use to do with Internet explorer.

How should we know, Groze. However, having said that, what with all the problems with updating to Build 10158, it looks to me like we'll need something newer that actually works! Just my not so very humble opinion, since I'm having the same problems as everyone else on at least one of my computers.

@Wynona

I found the answers on my own.

I've still got the deck of cards and the Windows 7 Ultimate "Signature Edition" from the launch party I went to in Seattle.

I'm not all that displeased with Firefox. FWIW, I would rather use Firefox and if I can get one idiosyncrasy worked out, then I'm gonna use it as my default browser.

and what might that be?

From that link...

Keep in mind that this is just a rumor for the time being and there’s still no confirmation from Microsoft that this is the latest build of Windows 10 before RTM, so take everything with a pinch of salt.

Thanks, so far there is nothing in Edge to make me select it
IE does everything I want/need

The one thing Edge does that IE doesn't, is conserve memory. Opening just a couple of tabs in IE uses hundreds of megs of memory, and having a dozen tabs or so can consume more than 1GB.

Edge, with 4 tabs open, to pretty large pages and sites, is using less than 120MB. A simple comparison, opening MSN.COM is 13MB, compared to 80MB in IE. I keep a lot of tabs open, so this is a HUGE win for me.

I finally got everything worked out early this morning. Although I'm showing updates that all claim to have failed, but have actually been installed and working properly. I hope this doesn't effect my ability to update and/or upgrade to RTM or w/e the next build may be? I really don't want to have to go through all this trouble again (although I will if I have to).

Mine has Definition Update for Windows Defender waiting for download, Kari. And, of course, fbl_impresive Professional 10158 saying it's downloading, but has been sitting at 0% since last night.

I had the same combo when I checked for updates last night. It downloaded and installed the Windows Defender update first and then started downloading 10158 right after. Wonder why it worked for me and not for you?

It will remain quite a while in 100%, and then "Preparing to install updates 0%"

But it shouldn't remain there for hours.
