Win 10 Fall Upgrade.

Also it enables fast bootup by default.

I like mine disabled since I've a PC in the bedroom and hate bright LEDs on my mouse etc permanently lighted when you shut down at sleep time, so had to disable that again.
 
Just tried updating my Venue 8 Pro and it has hanged at 40% for a couple of hours. Going to leave it for a little but longer but looking like a failed update on the first attempt.
 
Well, I did clean install on my Dell Venue 11 Pro 7140 (my new tablet) and Dell Venue 11 Pro 7130 (I'll be selling this one) and it all went well. Windows 10 got every single driver for the 7130, and I only had to install one driver for 7140 from Dell website that windows could not find. The 7140 just took the Windows Key from the BIOS, the 7130 had its motherboard replaced under warranty so I had to type in 8.1 key manually, and it activated without any problems. Next to update will be HTPC and after that my main PC.

This is my first Windows 10 install, and I found the change from 8 to 10 a lot more jarring than 7 to 8. Once you install Classic Shell the 8/8.1 feels like a more traditional desktop system. Sure, Win 8/8.1 has Metro screen, but it feels like a completely separate environment from desktop. In Win10, for better or for worse, the line between "desktop" and "Metro" has become blurred. I haven't had much time to play with Windows 10 on my Dell 7140, I do think it's going to take a lot of time to go through the settings and to get used to it, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

Btw don't forget to run Windows Disk Cleanup including the old system files option (if you are happy with your Win10 update) after, I got back almost 25GB of space.

I got back about the same ~25GB on my desktop.
I upgraded my old HP Omni10 tablet from Win 8.1 to 10. It only has a 32GB drive but it fit. Did the Win 10.1511 upgrade. It fit. After disk cleanup it went from 7.2GB to 14.2GB free space. Must install differently on a tablet with a small drive. Runs fine with it. I also have a 64GB SD card in it.

Everything was still intact. Only my Homegroup was deleted.
 
Quick update on the 10 second hang upon logging into windows it appears to be related to the nvidia driver as i did a ddu clean uninstall and upon reboot it instantly logged in. But after doing a fresh install the problem came right back so I am going to try to install just the video driver part and see if that fixes it.

Edit: Just installed graphic card driver only and the problem came back again. Can anybody else with an gtx 9xx series say if they have this same issue with the latest 358.91 drivers?

The last couple days I was looking out for the update but it didn't show.
So I just upgraded with the media creation tool.

So much more pleasing to the eyes now. Otherwise everything seems fine.

Have a GTX 970 with the 358.91 drivers. Have everything except HD nvidia audio installed. No boot up hangups. Total boot up time from total shutdown to desktop takes only a few seconds. I did an update install. Nvidia drivers were intact after the install.

Same here, I have one system with a GTX 970 and another with a 960 both running the latest drivers. The 970 was a totally fresh Win10 install and the 960 was an upgrade from Win8.1 then an update to the fall update.

Neither one has any issues. Something else is going on if he's getting hangs/stutters, maybe a SATA driver for the motherboard that needs updating? Whole system stutters and hangs usually point to the OS failing to read from a disk.

Of course it's going to be more jarring if the first thing you did to Windows 8 was install a UI modification that makes it look and function exactly like Windows 7...

As someone who uses a combination of Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Server 2012 R2 machines every single day, Win 10 with the fall update feels like a natural progression. They hammered out all the UI frustrations Win 8.1 had and cleaned up the remaining inconsistencies from the base Win 10.
 
I have a W8P laptop with key embedded in bios, the HD is dead I am planning to upgrade to SSD and fresh install. Will W10.1 pickup the key from bios?

I haven't tried a fresh install with a BIOS embedded OEM key yet (thats this weekends project), but from what I've read from other trusted IT techs it should pull the key just fine.
 
Ok another update after a few reboots i disabled the now generic high definition audio driver from Nvidia and the problem has gone away again. I had all Nvidia audio stuff disabled it before when I had everything installed and that didn't work. This is some really weird bug I guess?

It should. My Dell 7140 tablet had key in BIOS and Windows installer never even asked for key.
 
Anyone else experience a broken search bar in settings?

I even re-ran the indexing tool and this still occurs. 😕

Search works everywhere else.

I think this is a little unfair for what should be obvious reasons, a service pack jibe would have been much more appropriate 🙂

Well in this day in age I think a .1 jab is more relevant than a sp jab. 8 and 8.1 made sure of that. I do wish I had that start menu/start button hybrid though. It looks pretty cool.

Corsair link has a issue with the new update. Using as language US-ENGLISH and the European Metric/date system, is making the link software displaying as decimal punctuation a huge comma plus dot sysmol on the temperatures and voltage/amperage readings. The same problem was on a beta of windows 10 before launch, but it was changed.

Solution swap the decimal punctuation from Comma to Dot.
