You don't need to wait, go to that link I posted up thread and kick it off. I'm now trying to install 8 over the top of 8.1 because a Repair install won't work either for me :(

Yes that's true. Thought I'd check if it's worth it before diving in with the upgrade. Me

I'm just waiting for the usability reports to come in. But since you lot don't seem to think that Win8 sucks shit out of a monkey's butt-crack, I think I'll have to look further afield. Win7 seems about as good as Windows has ever been TBH. bastard by name bastard by nature

The worst thing about Windows 8 IMO is the tiles shit. 10 makes that easy to get rid of. Otherwise it all seems like a pretty bog standard de. To my surprise it kept ie 11 on board. ---- "Giant pig hot air balloon crashes after tangling with a cowboy-shaped one"

Didn't like 8/8.1 (well, I didn't mind it once it was set to boot to desktop and classic start menu was installed). Only had 10 for about 10 minutes, and so far it seems pretty slick. Cortana is being a dick, tells me I need to change some settings (the LET Microsoft SPY ON ME settings), but when I click to open the settings page it opens then closes again immediately. ▪ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ │ │ │ ▪ │ └────┘ │ │ ──┐ ┌── │ ▪ ┌──────┤ ▪ ▪ │ ┌┘ │ │ ▪ ┌─┤ └──┐ │ │ ┌──┘ │ │ │ ││ ││ │ ┌─┐ │ │ └─┼┤ └┴─┴───┘ │ │ │ ─┘│ │ │ │ ┌──────┐ └┬──────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └───┘ └───┘ If Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.

Actually, can't get into settings at all. Very annoying.

I did start to download the ISO but I just noticed that the Service Host process is using the network connection so probably downloading the update too. Me

I can get control panel, but not into PC Settings, the app store or anything related to that stuff (personalise desktop, windows update etc.) It's a bit annoying as I need to change some security settings in PC Settings in order to get my uni email to work. I've run SFC, which reports there's a bunch of corrupt files that it can't fix. Was going to do a windows reset thing, but that's in PC Settings.

Launching from the command line also fails. This is the error I'm seeing in the Event Viewer.

We have 6 PCs waiting for an update. 5 of them failed to update with Windows error 80240020 (which a lot of people are reporting on t'interweb). My daughter's Windows 8.1 laptop updated without any problems. I followed some suggestions to delete the update files from Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Downloads and restart the update from an Admin started cmd prompt with wuauclt.exe/updatenow The Windows 7 PCs updated OK. The Windows 8.1 ones have failed so far. never trust a man in a blue trench coat, never drive a car when you're dead

Just done a reset install, and it's still fucked. But now with the added benefit that it's also remove almost every third party application I had installed, despite being told not to :@

I finally got done! It was RIDICULOUS. My Windows install was so badly fucked by the enforced motherboard swap that I couldn't even use a USB drive. This made it really hard to fix! I had to download the Win 8 ISO using the Windows tool, copy it to my NAS, copy it to my Macbook Pro, use Unetbootin to make a bootable USB from it, boot the PC with that, install that, then install Windows 10 finally. Yeesh it took a long time. All seems to be running well so far, though I've not tested much in the way of applications properly I will admit. First impressions are that it's "quite nice" so they can put that on the poster if they like.

My motherboard isn't fucked, but i'm having to download the ISO and make a USB stick and do a fresh install to solve my issues. Didn't want to do that originally as I wanted to keep all my apps etc., but as the refresh install nuked them anyway then why the fuck not? My data is all seperate from my windows (and safe, or at least it was till my dropbox account ran out of space...). Just for giggles, I've attached the file that refresh installer left on my desktop to handily let me know what it'd removed. ▪ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ │ │ │ ▪ │ └────┘ │ │ ──┐ ┌── │ ▪ ┌──────┤ ▪ ▪ │ ┌┘ │ │ ▪ ┌─┤ └──┐ │ │ ┌──┘ │ │ │ ││ ││ │ ┌─┐ │ │ └─┼┤ └┴─┴───┘ │ │ │ ─┘│ │ │ │ ┌──────┐ └┬──────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └───┘ └───┘ If Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.
