Just finished updating my Toshiba laptop to 10166. Took about an hour start to finish using Wireless only, no Ethernet. Not bad at all.
I have one question. I have not looked at or used Cortana at all so how do I start. I got it turned on and it recognizes the microphone but now what? If I say Hey Cortana, nothing happens. How do I start the training?
Is there a Cortana for Dummies here somewhere :)
This is my own basic Reg hack, take as your own risk and change as your wish:

How much U wanna pay ......just kiding but if I see one I'll post a reply here U can try OS beta or maybe Win OS Beta they usualy get the reliable MSN ESD's and sometines ISO .
OTOH if have an earlier build you can get it to update easily unless U want a clean install which you can *actually do* from the at least last two test builds within the normal recovery /restore settings app even if you have an update install of the same build now .....it will just re install it clean .
I used and ESD from an earlier build there *but* it took 3 downloads to get one that would execute onvnce that happened it was fine I got the link *here actually and some of us used it no probs AFAK it activeted and worked fine before the fast ring update was realeased
exactly, there are many reasons to shut down, or restart a computer, and to assume that it is just because you are walking away is ridiculous. my laptop use to do a complete restart from in os, to back in os in only 14 seconds, and now with the latest win 10 build it is more around 23 seconds. that might sound picky to some, but when you are doing a lot of things, and shutting down or restarting is something you have to do a lot, it makes a difference. a big difference. it does still shut down in about 7 seconds, and can get into system from cold start in 8 seconds. but restarts are much slower.
yeah, i did this earlier also, and put them in my start menu. if you look just above the news live tile, where the cursor is, i have restart, shut down and log off.
