question: i have upgraded one of my machines from 1511 to 1607 using the iso, all went well. In another machine i still have 1511, i was wondering, is it going to be possible to upgrade to 1607 via windows update? It should right? I dont remember how it went down when i upgraded to 1511, event thought almost all of my installation were straight from windows 7 to windows 10 1511.
Yes, after install change the productkey to the one ending on 3v66t (if pro) and it will change to HWID (if previously a HWID has been established).
Just a FYI, I managed to activate a clean RS1 install using a Win 7 key about 3 hours ago on someone's old 7 machine, so we know at least up until then, MS have not hit the kill switch on those activation servers yet
Yes, so why do you think I recommended a download manager? Or do you not know that any good DM for years now can resume downloads if your net connection is disconnected? He doesn't even need any bloated software for it. I use curl and wget myself and they get the job done perfectly fine. If he specifically needs a torrent for reasons other than just a bad connection, let him say so. (In my experience most such requests are made by those who just want to enjoy better download speeds by leeching from lots of people at once, and of course they never seed back.)
On Pro there are two policies you need to set: Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update\Configure Automatic Updates\Enabled|2 (or just Disabled if you prefer) and the other that was removed from the Home/Pro GUI in th2: Administrative Templates\System\Device Installation\Specify search order for device driver source locations\Enabled|Do not search Windows Update The second one can also be set manually in Home via: Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DriverSearching] "SearchOrderConfig"=dword:00000000 This last important registry tweak is the one that's set by DDU when you remove a driver. When it isn't set, even if you hide the offending update in WU via other tools, your system will still try to download a missing/newer driver.
Do you have any problems? If he want to use torrent, he can do whatever he want! If he wants the torrent because of amazing speeds, I'm with you too. I know that the DM are fantastic tools! Anyway, lets get back again to the build thread.
Hope the continuity i.e. messaging everywhere features they yanked out of RS1 will make it to RS2 at least and not be deferred till RS3.
We have information that it will be available in February, 2017. P.S. I wonder - will 2015 LTSB receive free upgrade to 2016 LTSB?
I have absolutely zero problems. In fact I provided a solution to him and as far as I can tell he's not been back since then. You were the one who dragged us away with a comment about the supposed unsuitability of my solution. I don't suppose you're providing him the torrent he's looking for? Yes indeed, let's get back to the thread.
Try this:- Use Registry Editor HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Desktop/WindowMetrics Change IconSpacing to -1305 Change value to suit.
What do you mean by corrupt DISM, DISM is what we use to fix corrupt files, if you clean install Windows 10 AU, that is the disc you would use for any DISM repair jobs
