will this be the 10240 build?

Installing on the laptop, but I borked it on my desktop which is re-downloading through the media creation tool.

DO NOT USE THE MEDIA CREATION TOOL IF YOU HAVE THE FULL BT FOLDER! IT OVERWRITES IT.

Now you tell me. I have three computers processing it now. All had the $ folder. Oh well, will go sleep and see what fun the morning brings.

Edit: after running, then canceling the tool I have two folders:

$Windows.~BT
$Windows.~WS

No Win10 in sight. Nice. Wonder what I broke?

I ran it. looked like it was going to work too. Then it informed me I was missing boot.wim. windows update said the download failed twice. Some missing files I guess. so close!

What did you run?? The link from the insider page or something else???

Windows Update now says ready to Install Windows 10 on Surface Pro 2 without forcing anything!

Microsoft's largest OS release in history, so yeah. Internet is overloaded.

Yes, very likely.

Here's my laptop's status:

 

[Lumious]

I guess all of my files preloaded because I don't have that windows update screen saying its downloading, just a normal Blue Screen Update says "85% complete update for Windows 10 don't turn off your computer"

I did the same thing and have the same directories. I thought the media creation tool would just allow me to create installation media from the local download. I had no idea it would overwrite the $Windows directory. It was at 5.9 GB, not it is at 1.48 GB.

Creating the media now, got lucky.

Well, I was going to install Professional, and do it as a clean install on my SP3, but since only the Enterprise version is available on my MSDN license, I guess I'll be installing Enterprise on the SP3. Aw, shucks! :wink:

What feature do you guys anticipate most? For me Cortana, and continuum close behind.
