1449013 2018-04-29 09:05:00 I had an email from Microsoft Insiders about the new major update for Windows 10.
I am tempted, but my computers are triple booted, and I think it may demolish my boot setup. I would of course make a new full backup before updating Windows, but if it is likely to corrupt a system that works well, I may skip it.

What are the chances of it being a disaster?

What are the chances of it being a disaster? The chances are the same as/ with ANY OS. Sometimes it all goes to plan other times it doesn't.

Had Windows /Linux Dual boot, Linux did some updates and blew away the dual boot option, had the same thing happen the other way around.

BTW: You can manually download the new ISO "Officially" on Tuesday (Monday USA Time) The official push out via Windows updates start is 10th May.

"unofficially" you can get it NOW -- The Official 17134.1 ESDs have been been available for a few days, or there is other ways to get the ISO's, Got 3 PC's running the new version for a while now, runs smooth as, no problems what so ever, AND there's one change I'm personally going to like using :devil --------- This question is for Techs or people who help others ---HOW many times have people said " I didn't go to ???? Site or open anything" (similar wording) -- Now you can see and ccleaner wont remove them --- I'm saying no more at the moment :D

Is that the feature of Win10 that calls home to tell Microsoft all about which “Porn Sites” one visits? :D

Yes your personal browsing history is important to Microsoft. :rolleyes:

That's a good thing is it?

1449017 2018-04-30 01:43:00 That's a good thing is it? Yes it is a good thing. In fact it was proven this morning. Just got back from installing a couple of new PC's Someone had ordered from me. The New W10 is on them. 1803

What happened was the lady whom was using the new PC went for her morning break, while I was setting up the other PC her boss was heard to be mumbling something (complaining). He was saying ( lets call her sue) Was working on an important document that another of their clients was waiting for on the phone. No one else knew how or where the document was, and she wouldn't be back for another 15 Minutes. I thought Hmmmmmm-- Said lets see- click on the icon, there was the document - is that it ?? fu**en great :clap was the reply --Problem solved.

Sure you can get it from Word/File/ open recent but that's the long way about. BUT if you run ccleaner it will also remove recent files on some computers.

After a while one of the other bosses came out and asked why their W10 didn't have this option -- Its coming I replied and explained -- you work weekends was the reply?? We want the whole office upgraded ASAP.

The 4 Network Printers picked up automatically and installed, no need to download software - couldn't have been easier. ( Linux wont do that) :p

1449018 2018-04-30 02:15:00 Is there any links yet to get the update iso without using the creation tool ? Johny C (17609)
1449019 2018-04-30 04:43:00 Interesting story, WT. linw (53)
1449020 2018-04-30 04:45:00 sue working on an important document . No one else knew how or where the document was. I thought Hmmmmmm-- Said lets see- click on the icon, there was the document - is that it ??

Er....a word doc.
Right. BUt you said:

"-HOW many times have people said " I didn't go to ???? Site or open anything" (similar wording) -- Now you can see and ccleaner wont remove them"

Can't see the connection.
I would have thought Porn sites staying in History was not a good thing.

Regardless of word docs.

often you want to be able to check on staffers, kids, clients to see where they've been browsing

Regardless of word docs. I was using a word doc as an example that happened today, that is one of the items its designed for.

Web Sites also stay for 30 days if using Edge ( may change for other browsers in the future).

A clean example of a web site --- how many times have we all gone to some site looking for something, or just browsing, didn't book mark some site because we didn't think it was important at the time. BUT a few days later something happens and you go -- Damn I saw something about that the other day but cant remember the site ( insert many frustrated words trying to remember) History will be gone if a cleaner has been run, but it will still be available if the option hasn't been disabled in the settings.

If someone goes looking at porn sites that's their business. But where it will help, and how many times have customers said "no ones gone to ??? type of sites" or downloaded something that's dodgy.( yeah right) Now you can look to see what was downloaded that may be causing a problem. That's not really what its designed for but it can be used. You can remove any listing you want, or all of them.

Here's a good clean example -- A screen shot of 2 days ago, several visits to PF1 relating to trouble with a SSD Clone by Bryan - pages to the Samsung cloning software after reading the PF1 Forum Question.

and insider Forum Articles relating to a KB that's out.

8801


To answer Johny C -- The esd's which MS use to put out any upgrades are available tomorrow, or meant to by the creation tool as well, which you can make ISO's from. Its due out officially tomorrow (well 30th in the USA)

The way I have them already is grabbing from MS servers with a script that uses the media creation tool to unlock the download (supplied by someone on the insider forum), the new tool which will do the same is the official one. There are other methods as well to get them from Microsoft (official download).
