Grief, desperation and dashed expectations is what I expect on 29th July.

Ah.. why??

Judging by the way it is with insider edition, once all the files for W10 are downloaded, you will have install.esd file out of which you can make an ISO for new W10 installation.

MS has said that once you have the upgrade they will provide an ISO to clean install, no need to make your own.

Simply because it won't be like Christmas - people will end up wishing they hadn't signed up if the download takes a long time; if their system gets screwed; if they hadn't made good backups; if they don't have enough space; if the installation just doesn't finish, and a million and one other things that won't work out of the box as expected.

I see what you mean now. Well,, there will be a lot of that around here on the 29th I suspect. Busy times. :fear:

Will Windows 10 appear on MSDN on 29 July?

I don't know but the upgrade will start on that date.

Hope they give some warning of a type: "We are ready to download files for upgrade, Y/N/Later ?" so it doesn't catch people unaware and can plan download and installation at their leisure like overnight etc.
