    I installed 10240 a while back using the GVLK and activating with KMS.

    I was under the impression that TH2 would be distributed by Windows Update and saw in the news that the update was "re-enabled" after being removed for some time.

    Will I ever be able to update by WU or do I need to reinstall? If I try and upgrade by using the TH2 iso then it wants to remove my installed programs which is a pain.

    Any assistance or advice is greatly appreciated!

    On updating to TH2 you will get a choice to KEEP your installed programs.

    If you have the ISO, just MOUNT the image and double-click on setup.exe. You will be offered the option to keep your installed programs and your data. At the end of the upgrade process, the version will be 10586.14.

    When upgrading by using the MSDN/Techbench iso's, you always get the choice about what to keep during upgrade.

    Thanks all, I know it should but it isn't giving me that option for some reason.

    Your System is Enterprise. So, use Enterprise instead.

    If you want to upgrade to Pro or other edition via WU or MediaCreation Tool, modify registry as per:

    Before:
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
"EditionID"="Enterprise"
    After:
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
"EditionID"="Professional"
    [Note]
    1. Available EditionID - depending on language

    Core
    Professional
    Education
    CoreSingleLanguage
    CoreCountrySpecific - For China only

    2. N version only available in Europe (and USA for the usage of language pack.)

    CoreN
    ProfessionalN
    EducationN

    3. KN for Korea only

    Now, you can run this elevated command to list the packages to see if there was a GVLK package in place:

    Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Component-SKU-Professional-GVLK-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.10586.0
    or
    Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Component-SKU-Professional-GVLK-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~10.0.10586.0
    Code:
    dism /online /get-packages
    Without this package, Microsoft knows that you are using RETAIL edition and activated with Volume KMS.

    Neither of those are there. How do I go about installing the 64 bit one? Is this possible?
