TIA Byrden It will be in a hidden folder on the C Drive called $WINDOWS.~BT BUT you are not meant to copy it out and install from that. There is a file called install.esd which is the actual OS, which if you wanted to make a Bootable DVD /USB drive you have to convert it with purpose designed software to make it into a ISO, which can then be burnt to DVD or USB drives. Thats how I do the Tech Previews. Got One PC that seems to get them before the others, let one come through, convert the install.esd, make a ISO and use that on the others, saves several GB's of usage :) |

| 1415283 | 2016-02-01 05:47:00 | Couldn't find either of those files.... don't want to upgrade anyway - I am running W7 64 bit pro on this desktop and "if it aint broke, don't fix it"..... I just got tired of seeing that ******* message pop up about upgrading.... sigh.... | Bryden (4161) | ||
| 1415284 | 2016-02-01 06:18:00 | This is what you should see on the C drive when hidden folders are enabled ( in W7) 6930 This PC I stopped the Download/install, I don't want it upgrading on its own. "When" I decide then I will do it manually, BUT it more than likely will be a fresh install or I'll simply build another PC as this ones getting a bit old and the OS does have a few un-fixable corruptions. Here's the install.esd file I mentioned: 6931 Sometimes if it says its ready and a person tries to upgrade it fails - this is because whiles it says its ready, it actually isn't because its not fully downloaded, which can result in a un-bootable system (seen it happen countless times) Thats why it pays to make a image before doing it, if it turns to custard, nothing lost, simply drop the image back. |
