biodork Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Poo -- got my notification today that my upgrade was ready and that after a quick check I could schedule the install for later. After the check, my only install options are today, tomorrow, or the day after (D'OH). Anyone know if there's a way to put that off further? Was planning on waiting until the next version / release in October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just download the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install Download the tool and run it. It will give you to option to upgrade now or create a usb key or dvd to update later. Just select upgrade now and let it do it's thing. This also works on computers that haven't gotten the Windows 10 notification yet. Have upgraded to Windows 10 on several computers so far. This is a good solution for those with installations stuck too. Edited August 23, 2015 by Fuzzy Dunlop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have been a little clearer; I know I have up to a year to claim my free upgrade and there are other ways to do it, but I'm trying to figure out how to delay the one I unintentionally set in motion since there is no "cancel" option from the screen pictured. I wouldn't have clicked through to start this if I'd realized the options for scheduling at a later date only meant the next 2 days (d'oh) and don't want to do it until Oct/Nov.

It doesn't look like it's started anything. Just reboot and it should go away for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Skipped signing into a MS account initial setup. Win! :) Yeah, still check your privacy settings though, plan on looking mine up tomorrow, have to say that the download went pretty smooth. Took about an hour or so. Only issue was that it deleted some of my other programs like speccy :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biodork Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 It doesn't look like it's started anything. Just reboot and it should go away for now. Yeah, that's all I found online, either. I'm just hoping it's not like other Windows Update notifications where you can delay by 10 min. a few times before they force the update, like it or not.

JJFIVEOH Posted August 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Go to control panel and uninstall programs. From there click on 'view installed updates' and look for KB3035583. Uninstall that, it's the notification for Windows 10. You won't get bothered any more, if you want to install Windows 10 later on, just go back and reinstall KB3035583.

The Dominator Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Yeah, that's all I found online, either. I'm just hoping it's not like other Windows Update notifications where you can delay by 10 min. a few times before they force the update, like it or not. I pushed mine back a few extra days. Once it is an hour before the scheduled install time a notification will pop up which will let you delay it by another 2 days. I did this twice before I decided to install and update.

beerme1 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 I installed it and had initial issues but had an update and thought everything was cool. I like it much better than 8 and the edge browser seems pretty slick actually. Until now. It wont remember user name and passwords and wont let me log in. If I enter my log in info it doesn't advance to the next screen. It just stays on the log in screen as if I never hit enter. Frustrating but I like 10 so I hope this October update I've read about fixes any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah pretty much same for me, looked good at start, but now im getting these system errors that make my computer restart while they collect error data :P Well only one time a day I can live with i guess.

Got mine squared away. I had cookies blocked on everything instead of just third party. Fixed my issue. I think Win 10 holds great promise after having lived with 8, 8.1 I think 10 is going to be the best they have done. I hope. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Ugh. Thinking I should let the upgrade run on my home computer. Afraid of what could result. (Currently running WIn7 and like Huck says, I've been happy with it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JujuFish Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 I decided to roll my Win10 upgrade back to 7 today before my month was up. Turns out I can't do that because when you use the media creation tool to make a Windows 10 disc/usb drive, it deletes some of the files necessary to roll back your Windows. Unbelievable.

Doohickie Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I took the plunge. I'm underwhelmed.... it's not really that different, just some of the graphics are a little tabletty. This is a desktop without touch sensing, so I think it just goes with the older Windows theme. It's been a helluva month though.... my work computer got Office2013, I switched from a WinPhone to an Android phone, and my home computer upgraded from Win7 to Win10. My whole world's been updated. I know the first day or two are the worst, then I'll kind of forget there was even a change and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Only very annoying thing is that i got my computer restarting 2 - 3 times a day because there was a system error, and then it downloads updates and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 My computer restarted about 4 times in the first hour (continuously loading updates). Then I got one more late last night. I figured out how to make the window title bars a color besides white. That's a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Just installed 10. It is a HUGE improvement over 8, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJFIVEOH Posted August 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I've never been a fan of doing OS upgrades. I prefer a clean install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 yeah, but im coming from 7, wich was fine. Interesting. So you would have preferred to stay with 7? I have a laptop with 7 that I was going to upgrade. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJFIVEOH Posted August 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Personal preference I guess. I went to 10 and decided to go back to 8.1 on my laptop. Then I went to 8.1 on my 7 desktop computer. I really liked 7, but 8.1 is faster and a little less plain looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I've never been a fan of doing OS upgrades. I prefer a clean install. Same here. But whether I want to or not, I think Win10 is coming. I figured it'd be best to get it while it's free (I think I read MS will start charging for the upgrade at some point). Also, I've noticed that some things on my Win7 computer weren't quite right anymore (for instance, Internet Explorer stopped working).

Also, I've noticed that some things on my Win7 computer weren't quite right anymore (for instance, Internet Explorer stopped working). Internet explorer stopped working, but i mostly use chrome or opera anyways. Firefox is more of a problem with windows 10 upgrade though. Microsoft already stated they want to stop support internet explorer. The bolded part is what made me upgrade it now as well. This free upgrade is a trial and error thing. Basically you are clearing out all the bugs and once that is done come november the latest, The 50% of the people who haven't done it will have to pay for it.

One of these days I'll do it again and stick with it this time. I'm just trying to figure out when Internet Explorer started working. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
