    Apparently got build 10061 downloading now.

    From what I've read, it should only be available to those "testing" the leaked build 10056, but I'm getting it after running the technical preview upgrade exe for Windows 7. Is this normal?

    It seems to be actually downloading, rather than getting stuck on 0% and erroring like I've read. How odd. Should be interesting.

    Wow. Great. Share the .esd after updating, please. :D
    BTW, Do you have 32-bit system ? 'Cause the update size is small..

    Just on the Windows preview site, you click "Get Started" and then download the .exe to upgrade Windows 7, as opposed to downloading the ISO.

    Technically, he's downloading from Msft website. ESD files can be located after updating.

    I don't think I'll bother uploading the ESD anyway because it's 2.5GB big. Not worth it my end.

    For Systems with old style Start Menu like Windows 7/8.1 and Windows 10 TP 9841 etc.

    ESD downloaded address: C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log

    ESD decryption code: C:\$Windows.~BT\sources\panther\windlp.state.xml (cannot remember well the correct path, it is in panther folder though)

    To get all available 22 ESDs of different locale with one English System, simply modify the MUI registry (and reboot to take effect) to cheat Windows... No comment due to off-topic.

    Note: To get fr-CA and es-MX ESDs with above-stated trick, the System must be newer than 9926 (cannot remember well) or it crashes at reboot for lack of appropriate fonts.

    Who knows, it might fail mid-installation anyway, might be just a WU glitch for me.

    Nope, 87%, download is being incredibly slow. Checked Task Manager and it seems like Windows Update is pausing and resuming the update seemingly randomly (going between 0-0.24% network utilisation to 10% network utilisation for about 10 seconds or so at random intervals)

    This whole update is incredibly bizarre...
