I set windows to notify me about updates/upgrades rather then have it do it automatically. This morning I was told of a need to reboot and said ok. ~20 minutes and about 5 reboots later the upgrade was done. I say upgrade because it went through the same screen "menus" as when I did the original upgrade from Win7. Anyone else experience this?

new windows 10 upgrade ????

I have one machine with Windows 10. I also ask it to notify me.

But I've been doing the updates shortly after offered, generally.

I think I recall that one update a few weeks ago seemed to be described as a much more major revision than the others.

On looking about for news, I see that there was one variously described as the "first big update" or "first major update" or "Redstone" rolled out in mid-November.

I do recall that it took much longer to install than the others, but I definitely did not get invited to set various configuration items which were available to me in the initial install (which was a transition from Windows 7 to Windows 10, and took something like 2 hours start to finish).

Since the installation of

Since the installation of Win10 from Win7 I have stayed fairly current with updates because if you accumulate them it seems to take longer than if you do it on an occurring basis. The update I received this morning might be the same one you talked about in mid November. Maybe its possible that they stagger the things based upon when you did your initial upgrade so as to avoid a network storm. Don't really know for sure. Its just that this update/upgrade seem to take a longer than the previous ones which only required a single reboot.

Check your gpu drivers after it, sometimes MS gives you the generic non crunching one and we must manually download and install the correct one.
