Kevpilot...the answer is NO! If the update fails, supposedly Windows knows not to try it again.  The only way you can try it again is to use the Windows 10 Media creation tool.  Before you try again...a few things...remove ALL Dell softwar

Windows 10 Fall Update no longer available on MS Server!

Microsoft pulled the update. Based on issues that I have read here and many other forums...it caused a lot of issues with hardware like wireless adapters, camera, fingerprint readers and more.  Here is one story.  MS has chosen NOT to elaborate...which to me, is not a good sign!

Not irreversible at all! Create a USB installer version and you have the entire installer at your fingertips.  Also, during install, it creates windows.old.  If you decide you don't like what you see, go to settings...updates and chose to

I have the 64GB SSD in mine...with about 45 free...I get that. Odd thing is that the original release of Windows 10 allowed many to use the SD card to help install.  This build did not offer the same.  As a matter of fact, if you have SD c

My problem was the SD card. I have the most up to date firmware on the tablet.  Once I removed the SD card, the upgrade installed.  Beware...camera doesn't work in this build.  If that doesn't bother you...go for it!

Had to go back to 10.0.10240 to get the cameras to work again. There is something wrong with the camera drivers with the new version release!  Tons of complaints in the MS community from all tablet owners, not just Dell.

Little additional note! Check your camera and make sure it works.  Unfortunately, the new Fall update broke my camera and I get an Oops!  Something doesn't work and a code with it.  I reinstalled the Intel Chipset drivers from Dell fo

I can't believe it! I googled it...found the solution and ignored it.  OK...smack me.  So I took out my SD card...ran the upgrade again and now I have the latest version of Win10.  Put the SD card back in and all apps on it worked lik

What is odd. I can install 10240 from Win 8.1 from a clean install.  Then the next thing I do is run Windows update...the TH2 update is there and fails...go figure.  MS has really screwed up this update. Keeping at 8.1...fewer privacy i

I have no idea! All I know is that I can't get Windows 10 installed again, no matter how I try.  Even if I wanted to upgrade to 10...it won't.  Tried to restore from a backup using EasUS ToDo Workstation...fails.  So no Win 10
