Got the update yesterday.
First attempt at installing ended in failure.
Tried again a few hours later while at the same time disabling my antivirus, update succeeded.

It seems everything fine for now.

You wont get the update right now if you upgraded within the last 31 days,

My father's laptop's using Windows 10 Pro. It has updates immediately when I've just seen on Microsoft blog

thats to avoid being unable to roll back to Win 7/8.1

I don't upgrade from Windows 8. I do a clean install on both machines (mine and my father)

4. Rollback RX Home restore to point 0

-.-

Rollback RX will mess with this update on reboot and the update will fail.I would suggest uninstalling Rollback RX completely before even attempting to run this update.More than likely you will end up with a non bootable machine.
Rollback has saved me many a time but it has also killed one or two machines also.
I would also suggest backing up anything you want to keep before running this.
I ended up doing a clean install via the Media Creation tool which worked without problems.As reported by @illumination the windows media creation tool is the newest version.You can do a clean install or upgrade from that also

-.-

when you install such big updates/upgrades, you uninstall RX first to the snapshot you think best. upgrades like this rewrite the MBR , and RX use this MBR to work.

what you should have done :

1- uninstall RX to a specific snapshot, your new baseline, from where you will upgrade.
2- download and install update.
3- reinstall RX, then new baseline automatically created.
4- use RX as usual.

lucky you could return to point 0 , in very older version of RX, i lost my whole drive.

I was just trying it.
but... after RX home uninstalled, windows updater don't found the update xDD

Rollback RX Home, works really well on my tests, no issues restoring everything

I have Win 7 64. And going to upgrade with ISO of this new release. With this new release no need to upgrade & clean install can be done & Win 10 can be activated with Win 7 key, right?

Anyone can confirm if clean install & Win 7 key activation successful?

Installed the update successfully.
So far only see the RAM Usage increased from 35% to 46%.

My complaint was that custom colored title bars are back... Might not install.
Scratch that.
Might install now. Found a way to make title bars white again.

Haven't tried this yet, all toward your own risk!

Tried it! Looks awesome

Spoiler: How to guide

Open regedit (press Win+R, type "regedit" and press Enter)

Navigate to the following key: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM"

A) If you do not want the Window Borders to be colourised, set the value "ColorPrevalence" to 0.

B) If you want the Window Borders to be colourised, set the value "ColorPrevalence" to 1.

Log out and back in to see your changes.

I forgot to do that. Hopefully it installed the correct version

sh*t, I forgot to do that. Hopefully it installed the correct version

Go to start. type "Regedit" once regedit opens, click on HKEY Local Machine/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT,Current Version. Click on current verion "not the drop down" but on current version itself, and you will see the version you are running.
