Windows 10 update poll

July 29, 2015 by Alan Stainer

Windows 10 update poll

A very simple question for you, as I find myself vexed by the update process. In other words, it hasn’t worked for me.

So the question is, if you have tried the Windows 10 update, did the install work?

If it didn’t work, feel free to say why in the comments.

    Answering my own poll, it failed at exactly 96% three times in a row. Big waste of time.

    4 PCs, all had insider builds of Windows 10 installed. My Surface 3 and Surface Pro 3 had some issues, but they were all fixed in the 10240 build.

    I haven’t installed it as yet because I am want to retain my sanity. I will wait until the screams of frustration and oaths of exasperation have died down and are replaced by the Ooooh’s and Aaaaah’s before I make the attempt on my wife’s laptop.

    Well, I finally got it working, but…

    I had to select the option to wipe the previous settings. Then to cap it all, it failed to recognise the ethernet port or WiFi card. I checked the Acer website and it doesn’t have any new drivers, but does say that it is supported.

    Thankfully I have found the best feature of Windows 10 so far is the option to revert to the previous version of Windows. That is the only part of the whole process that has worked flawlessly for me so far.
