Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Skip Ahead Build 17004 for PC Insider

A misunderstanding here, I see.

By default, when you clean install Windows 10 Insider version, you will be in Slow Ring. You have to manually switch to Fast Ring, and will then be on Fast Ring > The Next version of Windows (not Skippy). In no case will you be set by default on a clean install to Fast Ring > Skippy.

Except, that was what happened to me this morning on that VM.

I see. Then most likely since you used the Skippy ISO. Just a guess.

Glad it all worked out for you.

Attachment 155343Is this what others are seeing?
I'm attempting to install the update in a Hyper V VM. I setup the VM a week or so ago. (First time to use a VM.) I installed Build 16288, changed the registry, and 16362 downloaded and installed. Windows isn't activated. Today I started the update process to 17004 in the VM, It failed. The 2nd attempt was successful to the "Restart" phase. I created an ISO. then clicked the "Restart" button. It came back to 16362 (no restoring previous version message.) Opened update, the Restart button still there, as well as the message about restarting. Repeated that exercise 3 times with the same result. Mounted the ISO and ran setup there, I now have 17004 running in the VM.
Because I have no experience with a VM, I'm not sure if the time it takes to respond is normal, but it is slow. I allocated 4 GB RAM and 250GB on a spinner when creating the VM.

I have the graphic but small square is blue.

I clean installed 16278 from the MS ISO, used the Registry Edit and Windows Update downloaded 17004.

After a night of frustration with upgrading virtual machines, I booted into the physical Windows 10 Build 16362 and the upgrade process to 17004 went very smoothly. I am almost finished burning the iso (t thank you, Kari, your program worked flawlessly) and I'll reboot ...
now

Upgrade failed at about 45% working on updates (never had a failure before at this stage). However the upgrade screen looked great. The failure code is 0x1900101 What this means is that I needed to turn off the 3rd party AV program. I will try again - else resort to the ISO. I need some sleep.

The only problem I encounter so far is in Settings-System-Storage.

Mine just sits there.
