Can't update a VM? I'm sure a decent % of people testing Win 10 are using VMs. I haven't seen ANY response from MS on the tons of posts regarding VMs. I have a dynamic .vhd (not VHDX because I couldn't find any 3rd party utilities to manipulate the VHDX format) and this is a bit hard to swallow. On the sunny side, there seem to be so many problems with 9860 I'm kinda glad I have a stable build in 9841;)

Update two machines running on Hyper-V Server 2012 R2. The blank screen lasted for about an hour on each of them, but install was OK> You just might wait. CPU and disk seemed to be low most of the wait time during the install. Maybe down load of additional modules? Only thing that did not upgrade correctly was the Remote Server Admin tools needed to be reinstalled.

I'm running Windows 10 Technical Preview as a Windows To Go (USB Drive) but it says I cannot upgrade via USB... Any chance of a work around to this problem. Or is there a place to download just the latest update???

Upgrade completed successfully, finished testing our software installs successfully. Had no problems installing and setting up. Good job Microsoft!!

You will get an update to Windows 10 Technical Preview soon
