Windows 10

Just discovered I lost my printer after the installation. It's an HP Laserjet 1012. HP haven't supported it since Windows 7, but by manually installing it as a Laserjet 1015, it worked. Had to install it again...

Still stuck at 32% - won't shift any further
I may return to Win 8.1
Oh !! - I am not allowed to - it has been running Win 10 for over a month ..
and OEM supposedly does not allow a return after a month.

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

The link in your sig - is that for 1511 build 10586 ?

Just noticed under Windows update / advanced settings
It says "Some Settings Are Managed by your ORGANISATION"
Which organisation is this then ?
I do not have an organisation

It sounds like you may have it set to have some settings organised by your company - from memory there is a setting that allows updates/settings to be dealt with in bulk by a local server such as used in companies with a lot of computers and domain control servers (basically a setting to allow IT staff to make sure that everyone's computer in the company is running the same settings/patches and only install them after they're tested/known to be good by the IT staff).

Is your computer one issued to you by an employer or something?
