I will never use Edge due to the lack of installing extension without a Microsoft account. other than that so far so good did about 5 computers yesterday without issues. Another 2 have some issues and keeps giving me errors but after a restart 1 of them finished and the other 1 still busy. I'm downloading and iso with media creator tool for the rest of the computers struggling to upgrade

Surprised no one mentioned the fact that this update will make it impossible to disable Cortana which will track and send all of our information directly to Microsoft(cough). You guys completely cool with that?

And btw: Even with the update you can still disable her with an registry fix.

Oh I bet you have VERY important stuff on your PC.
Also internet is filled with software which with one click disables all of the Win10 tracking features.

Updated yesterday, took me roughly 20 mins, no issues at all. All settings merged just fine to a new version without problems. It looks good, and will give "new" edge a go after work.
