Thanks Dave and those who advocated the use of 8/8.1 drivers for printers, just installed the 8.1 drivers and prints fine. Thanks for the help guys.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Where does it say insiders get it free as i thought they said a few days ago we don't?

Oh just found it, still not sure whether to believe it though.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

look at bold at bottom of my last post mate ;)

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

oh yer! Well i didn't migrate i did a clean install so lets hope they give me a key, although it doesn't matter as i have a legal 8.1 install. :)

I am sure i read somewhere that this news was updated and they then said you still needed a valid windows key.



---------- Post added at 19:20 ---------- Previous post was at 19:02 ----------

This is what i read where Gabriel Aul comfirmed after being pressed you still needed a valid key, so even though this post is dated 11th May and the other link says updated 18th May i am still not sure what is correct.

Good morning #WindowsInsiders! Today we have a new build for PC - 10122. We'll start making available in just a couple of hours, stay tuned.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I was just about to post this, i guess it'll be on the fast ring? How long do builds via update take to install?

There are loads of windows store apps that have an update at the moment too, i like the new weather app and the people app doesn't crash anymore.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Oh good. Thought I was going to have to wipe Windows off earlier, running so slow but found a couple of programs that even though I'd quit them about 6 hours before hand they were still running. Closed them down, deleted IE 11, tweaked my internet settings a bit and back to full speed. Even seems to load whilst doing other things.

---------- Post added at 16:06 ---------- Previous post was at 16:06 ----------

I can't even open the Store app.

Try both versions of the app store, 1 is a beta.

Pinned apps and folders that aren't from the store look a mess and magnified.

Deleting and reinstalling Comodo fixed that issue and deleting the the Bulgarian keyboard language fixed the mail and calendar issues, just stuck with the messy start menu now with added apps and folders but then this is pre release software.

Anyone else had issues with things in Chrome not being available to select? I use Internet Download Manager to download videos, and apart from around 6 hours since installation, it is greyed out in the right click menu whenever I click on a link.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

No issues with Chrome here, i guess you're not on the new build yet?

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

This build is truly awful

only plus side this time all the older .net are installed from scratch

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Yes I wish I hadn't upgraded, I mean how could they even mess up the start menu with user added win32 apps and folders?

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

clean installed it here so far so good

Think I chose a bad version to install lol. Hoping the update whenever it comes to my laptop gets things moving in the right direction.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I hope we don't have to wait too long for the next build, i hope it fixes all our niggles with this 1.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I un-installed mine, the screen was too dark on full brightness as I could not find drivers for the intel video, just the generic ones

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Working fine here i just expected a few more refinements over build 10074, and didn't expect them to make the start menu go pear shaped with win32 apps and folders, they must have seen that but still released it without warning us, unless not everyone has it.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Possible more new icons enroute as i noticed in this pic from build 10125, i think they maybe different to Windows 7 but not 100% sure?

I just upgraded to build 10122.

Well, after having the thing BSOD and roll back a few times because F-Secure (I decided to try the 1 yr free from VM last month) just hated it so had to uninstall it to get the build updated.

Looks good and better news for me the Start Menu is back working, yey! F-Secure will not install at all now, but no big deal.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I had to uninstall avast when I updated from 10074 to 10122 then reinstall it fresh too get it to work, I am really looking forward to build 10125 if we get it with those icons and with the start menu w32 icons fixed.

Edit

It wasn't avast i had to uninstall it was Comodo.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

anyone having any problems with web video? its only happening on a few Facebook vids looks like a typical codec issue. It presented itself early so did what I usually do anyway and recovered to clean install still did it. Installed CCCP still does it . My Start menu keeps breaking opens shows one or 2 icons after a few tries its back then breaks again.

The newest AMD Driver actually works for the first time it allows me to play games and output HDMI audio to my Sony amp. OTB this build really struggled with multiple displays

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

No problems here on videos using Windows 10 built in codecs.

Can't wait for the next build if it looks like 10125!

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

F Secure works fine for me, although it tried updating last night the build but failed. Printer worked fine for a couple of days, trying to print this morning and saying no printer installed even though it shows up and I can select it.

330 New Windows 10 icons! Awesome, i am willing to bet this set will be in the RTM.

Has anyone gone from build 10074 to a new one yet? Over the last 4 days, I've has several restarts which then lead to a message saying Sorry, we couldn't update to Windows 10.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I upgraded via Windows update from 10074 to 10122, but then i did do what i thought was the correct thing and clean installed 10074 originally.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Yeah, I did a clean install in the end, formatted the C Drive and installed on that. With my CD drive knackered, I need to get that repaired. Although the MS site still shows 10074 as latest build to download.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

You need to be on the FAST RING to get offered build 10122, i got offered it 30mins after i changed my setting.

Although you may want to hold off for the next build when we're likely to get new icons and the win32 start menu apps won't be pixelated.

It seems build 10125 has now leaked, anyone planning on trying it? I will likely wait for the next official 'fast ring' update.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

yes just downloaded it will try it on spare hard drive later when I get back home

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

All the Leaked builds I have tried have been US install and no language packs available and this stops things working.

GODMODE works in windows 10, personally i didn't even know what it was, i must have been living under a stone with other OSes!

For anyone that doesn't know what it is it just creates a list of all windows features into 1 list making it far easier to find what you want.

To activate GODMODE, create a folder and name it, GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

You must have the full bolded part as its name.

Sounds like there should be a new slow ring build approaching, but according to some sites it won't be 10125 ... getting ready to jump, having seen mention that it should be possible to upgrade from Preview to final ... that may be my best shot at getting a dual boot, if it will qualify from My Win7 and then upgrade the X64 Preview

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I wish we knew when to expect the next fast ring build with the new icons.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I bet it will be 22 they tend to release the same build after any bug fixes in windows update the Fast Ring is meant to find them. Fast ring will get 25 or above next the Slow will catch up. I would be surprised if Fast ring got 25 and not a newer build than that

Leaked build 23 apparently had the same Back Up and Restore features Windows 7 had which is very good news.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Well, I've been dual booting it with no problems for a few weeks (apart from housemates complaining that several services provided by my PC running Windows 8 are not available under 10 (I had not installed them in Windows 10).

So, yesterday, I took the plunge. I upgraded my Windows 8 install to Windows 10 using the Windows update method on the Windows Insider website. I waited for Windows 10 to download and install, got a black screen during the "Setting up a few more things" phase.

I reset the machine and let it roll back to Windows 8. Booted the machine up and removed a few startup items, then tried the install again. Same result, so I reset and let it roll back again.

Did a little Googling and found that Windows 10 has problems installing if you have the Hyper V role/feature added to your Windows 8 install (I had added this a while ago so I could muck around with Virtualisation, then stoped mucking around with Virtualisation and forgot I'd added Hyper V). I removed Hyper V, rebooted, went through the install process again and an hour later, I had a working Windows 10 install asking me to log on.

Just need to delete the partition I created for the dual booting now.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Glad you got it working. :)

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Considering I started this thread, strangely I haven't tried out the preview yet. Was going to put it on before but it said it would break the recovery partition so will need to make some recovery discs first. Judging by the posts it would seem wise not to join the fast ring updates for now?

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

122 works fine for me but I don't think you gain anything over version 74, I want the version with the new icons!

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Windows 10 is still scheduled for RTM in July, seems a little too soon.

http://www.theverge.com/2015/5/29/86...ly-launch-date

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

RTM is not release to public it is release to the OEMs to test and iron out any final bugs

Wzor also states this he estimates September I think it will be end of August as public release

He was also wrong about there not being another public release till June because a couple of days after he said that 10122 got pushed to Fast ring

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

RTM is for manufacturers like dell, sony, HP, fujitsu to install on there computers.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

No that would be OEM.

Build 10130 has just been released to the fast ring! although i still can't see it, but this happened minutes ago.

Possibly another different set of icons in this build from what we saw in 10125. http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/12...w/?p=596867760

Same here, i had to remove Comodo firewall again as it blocked all internet then reinstall it.

I see the start menu icons are fixed but when opening file explorer the window still never opens in the same location, i wonder if this is intentional? It is a pain in the ass though i hate it.

well this totally killed my install. Downloaded set to upgradefrom 10122 reboot loop. Installed 10074 clean would not set up a user correctly so installed 9926 installed fine this would not update so updated it to 10074 again installed fine. Downloaded the 10130 update created a stand alone usb installer rebooted. The update crashed as before so tried to boot from the usb and this displayed the same reboot loop.

Will try with a different SSD later but very strange

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I didn't have any problems upgrading from build 10122, however when closing windows down i always get a box popup saying explorer.exe memory error, after looking at Neowin looks like i am not the only 1.

Other than that all fine.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

gonna install 10125 see if that does it. Tested on another machine it installed fine moved the hard drive over crashed the same ( similar board not a cause with the swap) it could be a bios setting but ive tried what I think are the obvious ones. If they leave the boot as it is I could well struggle running 10 full stop on this board.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I can't get the 4 digit pin login screen box to show on this build so if i want to switch account i need to use my normal password.

try resetting it in settings see if that helps 10130 working great here so far

Personally l ain't going to be doing anything as better the devil you know rather then the devil you don't know.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

That's not good johnhook and I hope you find a solution to your issue ASAP.

I upgraded to 10130 with no issues this time. The new icons look good and no problems like previous builds.
Edit: It wont let me in the Insider Hub app, says I'm not a member of the programme, oops!

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

The icons are likely to change again as MS posted a different picture by mistake last night, but these icons we have now are the same as build 125, i still like them though.

http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/12...entry596867760

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Ah, the icons are as pictured on the bottom row in 10130, so are already different to 10125, then :)

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Done clean installs and everything :)

Anyway installed 10125 US cortana does not work I expected that. Went into update and downloaded the 10130 update extracted the install.esd and converted it to iso but allowed the update to continue and low and behold I am now on 10130 US. However in between I decided to update my bios as this was literally the only thing I did not try previous so it could be that. I will ghost this and try again with the gb 10130 iso I created earlier

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

did a clean install here too ;) uploaded en-gb ISO to my onedrive to share if anyone want a link can pm me and I send link ;)

Tried reseting a pin but it won't let me do that either, atleast loads of other people on the feedback hub have this problem to.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I just set one up on mine to try it worked fine

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

My problem is i already had 1 setup, it doesn't give me the option to use it as there is no 'use' box and i can't delete it from the 'i forgot pin' box as i then can't close the settings window, it just beeps at me.

---------- Post added at 13:51 ---------- Previous post was at 13:35 ----------

This is by far the worst build for me so far i just can't do anything with regard to my user account.

1. explorer.exe error when closing down.
2. Can't login with a 4 digit pin.
3. Can't delete my old 4 digit pin.
4. If i try option 3 from the old control panel i get a window popup asking me to re enter my password, and i do and it keeps asking me to re enter the bloody thing over and over again.
5. I wanted to verify my account on this pc and the above happens!

Atleast the normal windows experience works so that is something, but i understand i am using preview software so things like this are expected but they seem to be causing more little problems with each build, i can't see this being ready for mid July.


4.

Good question. The upgrade path from Win 7/8 to 10 is clear but less so from the Insider Preview to RTM. I upgraded from a retail activated copy of Win 8 to the Win 10 TP but now am a bit confused on if I have to go back to go forward :(

well I am not going to argue it is just M$ terminology take it how you wish

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

The MS guy tweeted me.

@GabeAul Now that Windows 7 and 8.1 users can reserve their copies of Win10 how do Win 10 insiders reserve theirs?

@Snoopzster No need, you were first in line the moment you installed your preview build.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

So there's a line now?

I guess that must be what you "reserve" a place in. But then again, having to queue to install Windows seems a bit... odd...

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

any particular reason for the arguing of semantics ?

from the link Dave42 posted

so it is pretty clear RC will roll out to those on the insider preview build which in turn will be upgraded to the release version quite simple no need to argue whether there is a queue or not

Those who reserve will get the upgrade as it rolls out those who do not set it up when its available all seems pretty simple to understand. How M$ have worded it is irrelevant :)

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Not everyone keeps a constant eye on IT developments. It's just a mechanism to alert all relevant users that it is coming soon.
