@ magilla , I'm just going to try the update on my first system, that's going to be an experience...

I thought you just updated one system, no?

@Fabler2
I have an older VISTA vintage HP lappy and it is slower than other computers, but it never fails to complete the install of new builds. I have two 512 GB SSD's on it. It has been a great computer for all these years.

Hi,

But, I don't use "Rapid Mode", either...as I think it's sort of a sham... A couple times I did experiment with it-I had problems--as in application crashes. So I disabled it and haven't had a problem since.

Had no issues so far. Of course you shouldn't be too impressed with benchmarks that essentially test the speed of your DRAM and not the drive itself.
Cacheing to DRAM isn't a bad idea provided you have enough of it but the endresult all depends on what you use that machine for.

There's cacheing software around that runs anything (or almost) from DRAM but it ain't free.

That said, those Samsung drives are about as fast as they come anyway. Even though the none Rapid Mode benchmarks don't necesarilly reflect that.

Cheers,

Physical machine updated hung at Working on Updates 33% completed. Removed 3rd party AV and trying the install again.
If it fails I going to mount the ISO and run setup.exe keeping files.

Installed on physical disk. There were almost 25GB in windows.old - it's not surprising it took two tries. I am now installing 16237 using the new Hyper-V GUI for fast create. Seriously if anybody from MS reads this putting the Virtual Machine name in advanced options is a bad idea design wise. Many people will have a VM called "New VM" or something generic and they won't like it. Also I just had to reset the VM (which I named appropriately because I actually read the release notes ) it;s getting ready now. OK Normal install. It always nice to se Hi

I gave up, I can't update to this build from slow ring(15063).
It prepared everything, I have the options to update and restart/update and shutdown. I tried both but it won't upgrade.

Might be because i only have 11.5GB free space and this update is offloading some files to D: in a $WINDOWS.~TMP directory.. i don't know.

Jack, are you trying to install Build 16232 or Build 16237? Although Build 16237 is for the Fast Ring only (so far), Build 16232 has just been released to the Slow Ring.
