    It depends on your NBN connection ( or maybe the speed that the Microsoft site is downloading). Mine took about 6-8 hours to download on my computer and my wife's which is on our wifi network.
    This was after several months of failure because "some files not available".
    I then replaced the hard disk and did a system image and then ran the Microsoft online file correction program.

    Finally success and I have to admit the system runs much quicker but that could be the new hard disk.

    Hmmm, I had a Windows 10 update automatically start, upload, try to install, fail and said it would restore original system. It has now been looping through start-up for well over an hour. Trouble, methinks!
    This is on my desktop by the way.

    The original system should be in a folder called something like windows old, so you should be able to reinstall from there.

    I can't get the computer to boot. I even changed the BIOS to boot from the DVD but, alas, to no avail. Just kept looping with the added text " Insert boot disk into drive", which I had done.

    Might be a job for a technoman.

    Did you make a system repair disk?

    I would turn the system off and remove the battery for 30seconds then try and boot from a system repair disk. I am assuming laptop.

    Nah, mate, desktop. Off to the bloke who built it for me this Monday . He's going to give me a hard time as he warned me about Windows 10 18 months ago.

    I must admit it took me months to get to the position that the creators upgrade would load and it only did it after I fitted a new hard disk. I guess the old disk was adding errors all the time.
    I ran all of the Microsoft disk checkers .
    But once the creators upgrade has been installed the computer runs fine .

    I don't actually USE any of the upgrades but it works fine. LOL.
