Whenever you do a upgrade, right click on taskbar, select, task manager, startup tab at top, disable everything in their, so nothing interferes with your upgrade, check it after upgrade, enable all
My upgrades have gone smoothly, I just want to know because it will help me help others later on when it is released.
The main issue was that I was lazy and let WU install the driver. I don't remember what version WU installed. But my upgrade was failing. And I noticed the screen turning on and off. So I went to NVIDIA's site and downloaded the latest driver 341.95. The update runned smoothly after I've updated the driver.
Now Vip, clean install the next one, and clean install Anniversary Update If it were me I'd skip insider thang, get the big one
lazyness and vm's dont help with bugs if we truly wanted to crush all bugs it would be a clean install on real hardware but vm's are good for getting esd only
If I had Windows in a different HDD it would be okay to do clean install with every release. But backing up OneDrive, Google Drive and Google Play music is a pain in the ass job. I have to move all data from those programs to another partition then move back to C: Yes. Lazy is the key word. But when Google's cloud storage is syncing it eats up ram and the high disk usage makes the PC unusable for almost 1 day... that is the medium time to sync my 19gb one drive, 3gb drive files and about 6000 songs on play music.
I always use new build as main drive. Always upgrade until I f something up or something appears not to go right. I have my 9 GB portable file where I run a cmd, and just click through some prompts to install, and tweak. It saves much time with a clean install.
Vip, why don't you get small SSD to put windows on, One big enough to put Windows Insider builds on say D partition and Put Anniversary Update on C partition You don't have to worry you already have HWID, just add SSD I just reread what you said and my question is why don't you have C partition for Main windows 100 GB, D: Partition 100 GB for Insider builds, E: Partition (Rest of space left) for your music collection. Have whatever you use to play music, point to E partition where music is?
Hahaha. Lazy are the people who refuse to face a problem and to learn something about how PC's and windows works
