Microsoft advise not to install the update on older PCs yet.

So it installed it tonight, despite me telling it to do it at 2 this morning. Nothing seems to have changed, start menu looks same to me as before the update. What exactly HAS changed in this Creators update?

so my pc with insider preview warned me it would expire soon, so I used the spybot anti spy beacon to enable everything again, windows then updated to creator whatever it's called, and now I can turn anti spy beacon on again :)

thanks for that tip

You speak as if you have a choice :p:

For my part, I've had no problems.

Indeed, at some point soon I'd expect there won't be any further security updates for the builds prior to Creators update - I believe at the time that the next W10 update is released.

Overall I've not had any issues with Creators Update - the only one I did have on my Dell laptop was actually down to a Intel display driver issue, and that's now been fixed as Intel and Dell have released a new driver.

I'd go further, I'd say at some point M$ will trigger the update by force and the only way to avoid it would be to disconnect from the internet.

Well my brother went to do the update and it just got stuck half way through it and thus he pressed a button to restore back to the old settings as he felt there was a problem with the update.

What he did can easily cause problems, unless it had been stuck for several hours in which case i would panic and do something similar.

I've not installed it yet as it was advised not to by MS last week.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 
So i tried all day yesterday to install Windows 10 on an old laptop(just to give me another working Windows PC if the main goes pear shaped as it is easier than using a tablet) that had previously had windows 10 running just fine.

First problem was it couldn't get passed the Windows logo and spinning dots, i fixed that eventually by turning off the wireless in the bios, which now gives me the new problem, i can't get passed the spinning dots and the wait a moment message, i even left it over night!

I have now given up and currently trying to install Windows 8.1 and see if i can upgrade to 10 from there!

---------- Post added at 10:26 ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 ----------

Windows 8.1 installed just fine, even activated using my old key, which i used to upgrade to Windows 10 on my main PC so i hope it doesn't mess up that activation!
