    If you upgraded from a pc with Media Center, then I think you have this option:[DVD player app with Windows 10]
    That worked.

    1 x 64 bit and 1 x 32 bit

    Are you saying that there is no longer a difference between Retail and OEM installation media?
    I don't know regarding Win 8/8.1, but there was with Win 7.
    Move along, nothing to see.

    Looks the same but note this is for the upgrade (however, I guess you can clean install AFTER upgrade using same.) Note that there is a difference between Pro and non-Pro media.

    The installation media is the same however the official licensing conditions are still different:

    OEM - tied to machine.

    Retail - Transferable between machines.
    Science isn't exact, it's only confidence within limits.

    disk cleanup (bottom right /all settings /storage/drive c / temp files) shows 1.7 g of files however using the old method of disk cleanup (inc system files) shows zero

    This is also why I am holding off.

    I'm waiting for clear, unambiguous info about this fact.

    I have Retail Pro8.1 64-bit, oem Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit and Dell Win7 Home Premium 32-bit.

    How many .iso's will I need to download? :(

    Conflicting advice, according to freddy, I only need 2 disks, regardless whether Pro or Home Premium
    I'm with grumpycrab, I need 32 bit OEM and 64 bit Home Premium Retail and 64 bit Pro Retail.

    Fightsback, I'm aware of oem vs retail :), which is why I always try to differentiate when referring to them.
    Win 7 definitely had different media for OEM and Retail.

    no it did not (as such) the disks had a modified "el.config file" , resulting in only the type of install you had payed for was installed.


    if you look at a win 7 disk , you can edit the eli.config file , and this will bring a menu up showing all the different versions on the disk

    It is a problem with MSE, not the Windows 10 update. The website has been playing up for a few days and especially today.

    It's happening again today using Edge but Chrome is fine so I'm not sure it's an MSE problem.
