    Win10Pro downloaded early yesterday onto Dell Optiplex 380 & ready, had one WU file to install (Win7 compatability for W10) and 20 minutes after midnight EDT here, click on the install button - quickly downloaded some more files and then rebooted ... 30 minutes later, installation was done, opted to customize my own settings instead of Express Settings, then it finished up & viola, Win10 Pro is up & running, activated and all the device drivers set. Pretty cool & far nicer than W8.1 - almost as if I'm back on Win7Pro.

    $Windows.~BT folder was 4.2 GB sized (this is a hidden folder on C:\) and now less than 3 GB, and old OS now in the Windows.Old folder (about 13.1 GB) Launch Chromecast on Firefox, playing my Youtube nicely, users will be comfortable with this new OS.

    I am not able to see $Windows.~BT folder yet. I reserved my copy many weeks ago. My timezone is +5.30 GMT. Can anybody tell where this folder can be located ?:confused:

    Now GWX give me the option to view the download progress and it's downloading Windows. It was pushed yesterday on Windows.~BT but I see the d/l progress. What was strange, I had in Windows.~BT about 4.6GB and in softwaredistribution folder about 900 MB. Now I see it's already 2.6 GB.

    I was having problems as well but did this :

    Go to "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" and delete everything in the folder.

    Run cmd as admin and type : wuauclt.exe /updatenow . Hit enter.

    Run windows update and download it again. Instal when asked. Reboot.


    Job done.

    Very Important

    Do not run media creation tool to download iso image while you have a $Windows.~BT folder on your system. it empties this folder. :death:

    I got tired waiting for it to start the update on my other computer so I just used the ISO again.
