Windows 10

Me too, it's SP1 by any other name, and I don't suppose it'll be the last...I got the latest win 10 update/upgrade yesterday version 1511 build 10586.
Hope it`s the last.
Huge download (about 2GB) and the update failed on the first attempt, but that could have been because it was doing it in the background and I hibernate the computer when I'm not using it. Anyway, I triggered it manually after the failure was reported and it took about 30 mins after downloading to install itself.
Can't see any obvious difference, although the "Update History" has been wiped out. Had 110GB free space before and 111GB after, so that must have been due to the clean-up it did.
Could upset people on a limited data allowance to find that 2GB more than expected has come through...I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the In My Home MoneySaving, Energy and Techie Stuff boards.

Interesting, even if it only confirms I won't see much. Switched off Cortana, don't use Edge and don't really need more tiles on the Start menu. Does seem to have fixed a problem I noticed when I had multiple spreadsheets open. Previously, I wasn't getting "layered" icons on the takbar - one for each file open.

That's just marketing BS by MS, W10 expires in 2025.

Is this an "upgrade" or "update" ?
It appears to be a completely new windows installation - since Rollback allows a return to the previous installation ....
Also - does the file have to be downloaded in one go or will the download continue a few hours/days later ?0 -
Updated my 2006 Dell laptop yesterday.
Only small problem was that I manually restarted from the start menu, and this gave an update failed error.
I had to restart from the update page, after another 20 mins all was installed.Move along, nothing to see.0 -
Is CLASSIC SHELL still compatible with the new version of Win 10 ?0

Its an upgrade. Either install it under your control by downloading the ISO (see sig) or let Windows Update do it in slow time.Is this an "upgrade" or "update" ?
