Microsoft has set a release date for Windows 10 to arrive in the summer. The software maker announced Monday that it will begin offering its newest software to power PCs and tablets a free upgrade on July 29. "today, I’m excited to share the availability date for Windows 10. In fact, I thought I’d let Cortana, the world’s most personal digital assistant, share the news. You can ask Cortana for the answer! You can ask Cortana for the answer, or if you don’t have a Windows phone or a PC running the Windows 10 Insider Preview handy – you can hear it for yourself here:" for more info see the offical blog post here http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2015/06/01/hello-world-windows-10-available-on-july-29/

A new icon will appear in your system tray as shown here, clicking on it will display the upgrade to Windows 10 message The popup is appearing on some Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 desktops from today onwards and it's shown below. clicking on Reserve your free upgrade set's the ability to get the download and you can also enter your email address to get an email confirmation or click on the hamburger icon for more info or to check if your computer is suitable for the upgrade Why am I seeing the popup ? The popup is due to the following update https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3035583. How can I remove the popup ? You can uninstall the update if you want to remove the popup. As Windows 10 is nearing it's end-goal, and bug squashing is continuing, I'd expect a lot of users will want to move to Windows 10 when it's finished. What about Enterprise users ? There will be no popup on machines running the Enterprise SKU, machines that are domain-joined, or machines that are MDM-managed. Is there a registry key for disabling this ? Yup, here it is, create the folllowing to prevent the Get Windows X ability [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Gwx]"DisableGwx"=dword:00000001 Related reading http://venturebeat.com/2015/05/31/microsoft-starts-prompting-windows-7-and-windows-8-users-to-reserve-their-free-windows-10-upgrade/ http://www.infoworld.com/article/2906002/operating-systems/mystery-patch-kb-3035583-for-windows-7-and-8-revealed-it-s-a-windows-10-prompter-downloader.html

what version of Configuration Manager are you running exactly ?

Microsoft has released a new build for PCs today to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring – Build 10130. As was mentioned with the last build, from here onward you are going to see a lot of tuning, tweaking, stabilizing, and polishing which means fewer big feature changes from build to build. You’ll see that in this build which has a number of small improvements and more polish. For example – you will see some new icons (check out File Explorer) as well as many subtle changes to the UX. We heard a lot feedback around icons in Windows 10 and think these new ones are a bit more refined. Let us know what you think. We’ve also added new Taskbar animations for actions like moving files, downloads, etc. and more improvements to Start. And we also heard a lot of feedback around the border around Action Center – which is now gone in this build and looks much nicer. We are still doing a lot of work so of course you should expect to see some bugs as well, but we’re making good progress working through bugs as we progress towards our public release this summer. Here is what’s new in this build Start: You can now customize your Start experience by opening the Settings app > Personalization > Start. Here, you will be able to turn on full screen Start when in the desktop if you want. You can also customize the locations that are shown on bottom left of Start where you see Power and All apps listed. In 10122, it showed File Explorer and Settings but you can now customize this list here. (Note – in this build there is a known bug where after upgrading from Build 10122 to this build removes the File Explorer and Settings icons from the location area of Start. You can add them back in the Settings app as I mentioned previously and you’ll need to sign out and back in to see changes you make to the list. Icon design: We’ve updated our icon design to reflect our Microsoft design language, creating a more consistent and cohesive look and feel across all our product experiences. These icons are more modern and lightweight, while creating a better visual relationship between typography and iconography. On top of that, app icons are now more consistent between desktop and mobile so apps like Word and Excel look similar no matter what device you’re using. Feedback played a huge role in the current icon design refresh. In earlier preview builds, we heard our design was too flat and lacked richness. We’ve since iterated to deliver a balance between mono line style icons on mobile, and the three dimensional depth of desktop icons. The new icon set is familiar, yet fresh and usable. Between the legacy aero-style icons and new app icons, several thousand icons were designed and redesigned. We explored Swiss graphic design, Dutch product design, and modern architecture (among other design fields and styles) to inform and inspire the design process. The icon evolution will continue as we push more consistency and better functionality. Jump Lists on the Taskbar: We’ve refined the UI for Jump Lists so that it matches the rest of the new UI for Start and the Taskbar in Windows 10. Right-click on File Explorer if you have it pinned to your Taskbar and check out the updated Jump List. read more > http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2015/05/29/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-10130-for-pcs/

hi, quick question why oh why are you using two disks ? it seems that your problem has been reported before so it may just be a bug with the built in step, have you tried using the ZTIbde.wsf script instead to enable it ?

hi Mike for the benenefit of others please explain what you did to fix, was it the collection update schedule or what ?

do you have any cu's applied ? cu5 is current as of now.

i'd like to see what the inf file looks like can you attach it

did you enter anything in the domain settings in the UDI wizard ? if so what ? screenshot please

what does the smspxe.log file reveal on your distribution point hosting the pxe role

This installed just fine on my work laptop (Lenovo W530) but had some painful issues on my Surface Pro 2, eventually got it working by deleting my profile and recreating the profile. It's worth checking out this thread for some ideas/problems.

here you go https://www.google.com/search?q=channel+9+deploying+windows+8+with+mdt&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 in addition I did some MDT stuff here: http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Surface-Pro-3-Deployment/Mod3

sounds like there's an error in the unattend.xml file, try pausing the deployment before the apply windows settings step and see what it contains in c:\windows\panther\unattend\unattend.xml, Before the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr step is complete you can monitor c:\windows\panther\unattend\unattend.xml to see what is happening in relation to your modifications taking place or not After the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr step is complete, you’ll see the following has been added to your c:\windows\panther\unattend.xml file

if the machine is not joining the domain then check the c:\windows\debug\netsetup.log file for domain join failure reasons.

don't use dhcp scope options for UEFI, use iphelpers instead.

have you seen this http://configmgrblog.com/2015/05/17/mobile-application-management-support-arrived-in-configmgr-2012/ and have you looked at these MSIGnite videos ? http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Ignite/2015/BRK3850 http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Ignite/2015/BRK3856 i believe Microsoft will be releasing a blog to further clarify MAM,

Microsoft have released a new build to the Fast Ring called build 10122, and have blogged about it here. The following things have changed (summary) Start and Continuum improvements Microsoft Edge Changes to how Windows 10 handles default apps Redesigned Insider Hub and below are details of issues fixed and known issues remaining Here are some issues we have fixed We have fixed the visual glitch (“rectangle slivers”) that appears on Live Tiles on the Start menu with the new tile animation. In general, performance of the Start menu should be better in this build. We believe we have fixed a lot of the crashes with Microsoft Edge (Project Spartan) reported by Windows Insiders. Developers – when you go to Settings > Update & Security > For developers – it no longer crashes the Settings app. We fixed the issue some people were seeing where their graphics driver fails to install from Windows Update with error code 80070103. This was happening because WU was trying to re-issue the driver. You should now be able to edit the IPv4 properties of an Ethernet adapter on your PC. We have fixed issues where fonts would render blurry on High DPI displays. We’re cooking up a blog post we plan to publish shortly that talks a little more in depth about our investment with High DPI in Windows 10 so watch for it. We have fixed some keyboard shortcuts in Microsoft Edge. Control + L or Alt + D shortcuts now got to the URL bar more reliably. Here are some known issues for this build See my note above regarding the issue on PCs with AMD GPUs and frequent crashes in Microsoft Edge. Upgrading to this build on certain PCs may fail and roll back to the previously installed build with error 0x80070057 – 0x20007. This is a bug where too many device INFs are being migrated and hitting an internal limit. Possible workaround is to use Disk Cleanup to clean up system files and choose Device driver packages, Previous Windows installations and Temporary Windows installation files. You may also need to remove unnecessary peripherals and remove them from Device Manager and trying the upgrade again. In this build there is a bug that may cause issues with Cortana speech. If you are experiencing problems with speech recognition, or are getting errors when trying to speak to Cortana, please visit this thread on the Windows Insider Program forum for assistance in recovering from this bug.

looks good, good luck ! and remember you can always post guides here

the beginning part up to where it fails (udi)

can you show me a screenshot of your task sequence,

according to your log file UEFI: true <- so it's in UEFI mode, which means the disk partitioning above won't work, you need GPT partitioning instead. try my script below to preprare the computer for gpt partitionin it requires Microsoft.BDD.Utility.dll from the mdt toolkit scripts folder test this on a vm before running ! dont run it on your computer ! makeGPT.zip

please attach the smsts.log files from a failed attempt above

ok if uefi is disabled then it's in legacy mode, if its in legacy mode but the disc is in gpt mode then you have to diskpart it manually to the correct mode diskpart sel disk 0 clean cre par pri format fs=ntfs quick assign exit do the above in winpe before starting any task sequence, then try again does it work ?

imaging them here just fine, make sure you are using the 64 bit boot image and that the usb 3 lenovo drivers are added to your boot wim

hi sligo guy ! i lived there for many years, next time i'm back we should say hello, so you are trying to image the lenovo thinkpad 10 in UEFI mode or LEGACY ?
