It is available since July 15 for Insiders through Windows Update. And automatically for everyone, considering that converting those ESD to ISOs is pratically identical to having original OEM ISOs, same build: 10.0.10240.16384 , and same Retail updates channel: TH1 NO NEED TO BE INSIDER Just: 1) Obtain and Convert your language and OS version ESD to ISO (see the first post of this topic to know how); 2) Burn that ISO on DVD or USB Stick with Rufus; 3) Upgrade your genuine 7/8.1 to Windows 10 RTM 10.0.10240.16384 4) Enjoy final Windows 10, forever on that device If you want Clean Install it from scratch (and I highly recommend it), just do the mandatory 4 steps above plus: 5) Boot from DVD/USB; 6) Erase all partition and Clean Install; 7) DO NOT enter any serial when asked (you already permanently activated the first time with the upgrade offer), skip it; 8) Connect to Internet on first Windows 10 boot. Do all Windows Updates and Store updates from now to 29th of July, and forever Activated. Enjoy
Nothing just curious cos Insiders and various confirmation including Gabriel Aul Twit points to only hotfix role on the build
@P40L0 & Mtrai Thanks curiosity might kill the cat but its good to know you are not alone in a situation lol
I'll test it right now But either way as soon as the LTSB 2015 Enterprise leaks or becomes available im taking that
Also you can do a reset my pc to factory option after upgrading and that is also a clean install without creating an ISO. Just saying as we mostly forget that is there. /edit however for safety sake please please please...get a USB thumbdrive and use rufus to make a bootable ISO, that you can store, so you always have a recovery option. My current practice...with the Win 10 TP was to use 2 USB sticks, one has the previous ISO that I installed and the other other has the current...so I always have a fall back. I also have a bootable usb drive with the Win 8.1 ISO as well.
True, but "Reset" feature, even if very handy, is not so "Clean" as a "Real Clean" install booting an USB/DVD ISO, and manually erase anything and formatting an "Unallocated Space" from there
Semantics but I do agree that is the best clean install, however reset is an option that is often overlooked. For us purist deleting the drive and then installing is best.
Just stick with preinstalled and native Windows Defender. Almost all the rest of AV is just performance hog and/or unnecessary bloatware
None... I gave up AV software a long time ago...but then again I am not a casual user but a power user that keeps images of my installs as well back up USB sticks with the install ISOs. Including shutting off windows defender. It is not cause of performance hits...I just do not need them.
Considering the pratically zero performance impact of Defender, why not just leaving it alone? Even if an always smart "power user", it's a matter of seconds plugging an infected USB from average Todd, and blow up years of customization/optimization and data. So, considering how inobtrusive an light Defender is, there's no reason to touch it honestly
Thanks wanted to save space @mtrai & P40L0 CURIOUS! Any clues why the BuildLabEx string still shows 10240.16393.amd64fre.th1_st1.150717-1719 and only the UBR changed from 16393 to 16934 after the KB3074674 hotfix update installed with device up to date on both physical and VM? Nothing just curious cos Insiders and various confirmation including Gabriel Aul Twit points to only hotfix role on the build. Thanks curiosity might kill the cat but its good to know you are not alone in a situation LOL!
