G+_George Kozi Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Originally shared by George Kozi Okay... I got a fancy beer in the fridge for after the upgrade, and i'm ready for Win10... So, Microsoft, get on with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Phil Chung Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Now I keep checking to see if my disk usage is rising... the PC version of hitting the check for update button on a phone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Kozi Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 I think most of Win10 is already deployed on PC's, they just have to give the "go ahead" signal. For the last couple of days my PC was acting weird, so I'm sure Microsoft already pushed most of win 10 out in stealth mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_daniel ethan hopley Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I'm sure Mary Jo Foley has a special beer waiting in her fridge for this special event as well. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Kozi Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 If Edge is good, i'm ditching Chrome. I may even give Bing a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Phil Chung Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Edge will also support Chrome extensions in a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Darryl Gibbs Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 if you can't wait and want to force it, here's how. Works for me, and seemingly official: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jose C Martinez Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Darryl Gibbs? thanks for the link but I'm trying to figure out what the KN and the N mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Stephan Vermette Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Jose Martinez N is to comply with European Laws regarding Media Player and Edge (formerly known as Internet Explorer), and K is to comply with similar Korean laws which I am not familiar with.

G+_Jose C Martinez Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Stephan Vermette? thanks for the details. I looked it up and found out that it's the same as the regular version only it's missing anything media related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Stephan Vermette Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Jose Martinez I think I recall the N version giving you a choice of which browser you want to use. But things could be different in Windows 10 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Phil Chung Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I thought I would try the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool to download an ISO instead. Select my language, version and architecture; hit next; get error "Something Happened"... not a good start... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Darryl Gibbs Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I made a fresh install USB, but in the setup process and post install it refused to recognize my cd key, so put 8.1 back on and update that. Or way it seems in my case. Had that on 2 machines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jose C Martinez Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I downloaded both ISO and bootable USB image but used the upgrade option via the Windows 10 Media Tool. Worked perfect... I also decided to change my login to a local account so that I don't have to enter a stupid password every time I turn my computer on. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_David Pick Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 George Kozi Honestly the comments said last night on TWiT Tech News 2Night? adequately described the state of The Edge browser. It won't run add-ons.You can't use a third party password manager like Lastpass with it. It is fast,but just not bullet proof stable by any means yet.I can testify from trying it in my Technical Preview install on build 10240 on my Vaio laptop.

G+_Phil Chung Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Finally upgrading. I downloaded the ISO. Install failed a few times with "something happened" box after updates downloaded. I then chose not to download updates before installing and currently at 75% and counting. Fingers crossed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Phil Chung Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 And it hasn't wiped out Grub yet. Hpefully it'll leave that intact after installation has finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Phil Chung Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Installed, but display is at 1024x768. Downloading AMD drivers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Stephan Vermette Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 George Kozi I don't think re-developing a "good" browser from the ground up is something that can happen in the timeframe MS has had to do Windows 10. So it possibly has a lot of IE legacy code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Stephan Vermette Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Phil Chung So "something different" happened then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Phil Chung Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 More like "nothing different" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Kozi Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Stephan Vermette I think Microsoft has built up a vast knowledge from all the crap around IE, They dealt with it for years and years... So i'm hoping the new browser will have that hard won wisdom at its core. Of course, what they ship now is the 1.0. I'm expecting Edge to come in its own in a few months.

G+_Phil Chung Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Windows 10 all installed now. Boots even faster than 8.1. Edge looks okay. Haven't played around with it much yet. Installed just in time for bed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
