Yup pretty quick and clean on the old Dell, Maybe 2 hours which is quick for it. (That includes ISO time)

OOOPS...my bad...😒

I've already tried the Retry, so I'll wait to see if there's a workaround.

Geez, I think I may wait for a build or two, unless a huge bug update/significant feature or change comes out. I just installed 16294 yesterday.

It is proving difficult to do an update from 16278 to 16296. 2 failed attempts in the Hyper-V VM so far. Now it at 0% downloading.

Good thing it's a VM still at 0% downloading I think I will blow this away now and try it again using VMware Tech Preview on Windows Server 2016.

Hate to say it for I know that there are a lot of Hyper-V fans but the VMware Tech Preview 2017 (free until the end of the year) beats it hands down. Among other reasons Cortana listens better under this program than natively - and of course Hyper-V has no sound until you able to remote to it. Anyway here we go again. Let's see if this works to update to 16296.0

Host is Windows Server 2016


----------------------------------------------

It's already at 60% Preparing to install

Now at 43 % Downloading. Test 32-bit Mozilla Nightly - amazingly fast. I will use the 32 bit version on Windows 10 and Debian
