Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
mine has just done that (preview build machine) I think it's done that before, in my experience sometimes it fails to get the next preview build and install it automatically, so it does that. sometimes clearing up enough space on c fixes it, but what i've done before is dl the iso of the most recent build from
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...iderpreviewiso
14366 is latest, just done
start run winver on my machine and it says 14361.0
I'm a little behind, you're way behind
so I'l dl the iso, mount it, then run the setup from inside windows and it will update, bit of a palava, but it works.
btw, my laptop with retail version is on 10586.420

Thank goodness for that. I can go back to auto update on my W7 laptop without the threat of W10. I'll leave GWX active though just in case they throw a flanker.

What might be the case is that Microsoft continue to promote the upgrade but it won't be free now and so not try to actually install. The previous measures for preventing the nag could still be needed.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
Windows 10 may still be free if you meet certain accessibility criteria.
My view would be that it should remain free for any edition not offered the upgrade, i.e. those on shelf in shop never switched on. But anyone one declined offer is now out of luck (or fortunate).

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
I stayed with w7.I am of the"if it ain't broke don't fix it"brigade. I just do very general browsing so do not need any"improvements"w10 may have offered.Too many things these days are offered as"newest and the best ever"when all they really are is the same thing dressed in new clothes.Can someone tell if all the items microsoft downloaded to my computer in preperation for me "upgrading"to w10,are they still on my computer, or has microsoft removed them along with the w10 upgrade box.

Any decent shop wouldn't have a machine on it's shelves with outdated software on it.
