    I doubt Telemetry will ever end. They started adding it to all their software hehe

    Exactly. Moreover, they'll increase telemetry data stream till they suck up half bandwidth of yours. Mark my words. :D

    windNsalsa did it successfully.
    crashnburn encountered probs talking about phone activation. Using original OS files is mandatory. It doesn't matter from where the SLIC comes, though. An altered OS might cause issues anyway.

    For the record the time left is the same for everyone in the world. 3 hours right now. I've used a proxy from Japan and it's 3 there too.

    Absolutely correct ! it ends at the last time zone which is Hawaii, about 22:30 Friday July 29 when I post this :eek:.
    I do my upgrade and activate successfully at 10:00 AM Friday July 30 in my time zone.

    ha ha! 2/4 nights in a row.. and you dont even want to know how many I got done and had few remaining :p

    Honestly, if I'd not fallen sick last few months I'd love to have not done this last minute. But honestly, as a dedication to you YEN, bat.1, Enthousiast and many other active guys.. I'm going to post MY improvement "pack" to the Tutorial - I think myself and people kepty having too many repeated questions which ought to have been clear already. No harm, I bow to the guys who and how they figured out that tiny little GatherOState & GenuineTicket.

    I'm curious why would it generate a GT every time without fail.. and then some times drop Ingesting the GT. Why give the false illusion that we have a ticket to the movies :p

    Still can't post hotlinks but this is very relevant. Apparently you don't actually have to use "assistive technologies".

    The countdown was just manipulation tactics to get as many people as possible aboard.

    I just picked up what you wrote about a particular machine. Didn’t want to tease you with my reply. :)
    I know in some cases the ticket did not vanish at first activation attempt...and how it worked then anyway was not clear....I presume it had been activation server related delay or issue or the like.

    They are trying to do a good thing, but of course there will still be able-bodied people who park in the blue spaces.

    Actually, the free upgrade offer continues. Visit microsoft.com/accessibility/windows10upgrade and download Windows10Upgrade24074.exe by clicking "Upgrade Now". If you want to do a fresh install, you'll find gatherosstate.EXE 6.2.9200.17258 in C:\Windows10Upgrade when you run Windows10Upgrade24074.exe (or extract it manually, it's a SFX CAB archive).
