Upgraded 5 computers to the FCU—3 downloaded from Wu and two using mct. MCT is faster but all worked well _ no problems encountered.

Ok. I was hoping to skip all that if someone have an ISO to share... haha... I guess I have to do it the way it should be done. The thing is, the servers are hot and slow right now and it somehow takes forever.
I finished 1 machine and the download took a while. I created an ISO from it and used it to upgrade the other 2 machines.
Installing updates went quickly but downloading was slow, I was stuck at 93% for half an hour at least. A couple of application installations and a good 30 driver installations were added to the mix after the update.
The only issue I have noticed is that the lock screen is just light blue with the date and time even though a picture (I believe it was default) is selected. No big deal, wish I could just get rid of the lock screen completely and go straight to the login screen.
Everything else is 100% fine.
I'm actually pretty happy with this update. 3 machines so far and no problems at all other than a long 2 hours plus install time. Even my netbook that didn't have enough hard drive memory updated with no issues with a usb flash drive assist. All through WU.
It did re-enable suggestions in start and changed my "lockscreen" settings as well as changed a setting in DTS audio control - all easily readjusted back. All other settings as far as i can see were unaffected. The OS feels slightly faster to me. WD now launches on one click. There is a lot more info under performance in task manager. I like the currency converter added to calculator as well. I like the visual changes to notifications in action center.
Glad it went relatively smoothly. I was going to wait on the update after my experience with creators update 1 but when I saw it sitting there at 1pm in WU i figured what the hell.
Hi, all. Long time no chat.
Well, it's installed, over a new fresh install of 1703, which I wasn't happy with as so many legacy features were deprecated (like, where the hell is msconfig, or its alternative, for example?).
I'll see how this goes, and may also try it as an upgrade over my pre-1703 system backup, or my 8.1.1 backup (and yes, I still think 8.1.1 was, in many ways, a better OS).
The update itself was a piece of p*ss - took several aeons to download, but I ran it before I left for work this morning - got home around 1.30pm and it was done. No issues so far.
We shall see...
Wenda.

Two done here via WU. No problems but I did turn system protection back on and turn off hibernate.
