You can script removal of them and if i don't remember wrong, you can hide them with a GPO. But indeed that stuff is a pain.

Needless to say, all my computers are still imaged with win7. 10 is still not complete.

I for one have already teh Fedora Live Image for private use after the 31st of July.

I got a second ssd on my workstation so I can start playing around with 10 LTSB. I am guessing next summer I could have some images upgraded to it.

And windows 10 install failed. 3 or 4 times I tried today with ltsb enterprise.

Every time after few reboots it would just circle the ball (where vista and 7 had a bar) and one time I let it sit for couple hours.

If this is the stuff enterprise users can expect, win10 is a lost cause.

Out of the 200 or so I've upgraded I only had two show stoppers. One would not upgrade at all, much like what you are describing, and one that wouldn't work because of an Intel Raid Array software glitch. The rest were pretty much butter.

You guys are into upgrading?
I wouldn't agree to do this in an Enterprise Environment
We plan to do an 'inplace upgrade' utilizing SCCM with USMT, WOL and backup of Data. So fresh Install is the way to go for us.
If all goes well our users will leave their Notebooks, Tablets etc at their desk overnight and come back to their new toy of joy

edith says: first we need to migrate our current 2012R2 though, as it still is running on a W2K8 server, and that would simply be the wrong platform for a Win10 Rollout

Up until Win 10 I would have never even considered doing upgrades. But aside from those two (and a few other driver issues), it went unbelievably smooth.

The funny thing is. All the computers I have upgraded worked. I think one needed bios changes after install to actually make it boot.

The fresh installs are the ones failing in my lab.

Allen, I don't have an issue with actual problems. What I have an issue with is Microsoft hiding all the needed information to fix things. The only way for me to figure out what went wrong would be to take the hard drive out and search for possible clues in million log files. And I still might be none the wiser.

I like the fact that windows 10 is closer to its roots than 8, but its still way too stupidified to be useable.

Not doing upgrades... But I guess I could try one just to see.
