| 1405915 | 2015-08-05 04:38:00 | I have two PCs and I registered my interest to reserve Win10. Today I downloaded the ISO and using Google found out how to de-register my interest in waiting for MS to download Win10. As soon as I de-registered my interest I went to see if I had any new pgms to upload. Lo and behold, there on both PCs was the requested download. N Now isn't that a coincidence "or what"!!!!!!! |

Bit strange asking that Nath :p you're the one person who should really know how everything is actually delivered. Meaning MS don't announce everything in detail. but on that note, on one PC I have here, the hidden folder where windows 10 downloads to is close to 20GB - no idea what its actually doing with that much. If and when it gets changed it will be Via the ISO download. |

I have a theory as to what may have happened, but I'll try it out first to see. On the system I was referring to that's downloaded 20GB so far, that is Windows 8.1. It appears you don't have to reserve it either, as long as the KB's that trigger the notice in the icon tray have been downloaded it automatically downloads the upgrade in pieces and the user has no idea its done it. Some of my customers have asked what the new icon was in the try, when opened its got the option to reserve, so it hadn't been clicked, and un-hiding folders shows the folder on the C Drive with varying amounts of how much its already downloaded, some in MB's others in GB's. |

My Theory was Correct. If you have a Windows 10 install, even from fresh, and you download and run the Media Creation Tool to make a ISO it creates the hidden folder on the C Drive. Notice the date and times of the folder creation compared to current time. Which is 10.52am Heres Proof: 6648 |
