If you're going to have to get the files re-downloaded anyway, just get the ISO from MSDN and run the installer from within Windows. The upgrade process is practically the same, plus if you ever have the need to reinstall from scratch, you'll have the latest and greatest image already available and ready to go. Not to mention anything about re-downloading from additional machines.

Actually, this is strongly backed by the fact that i'm even downloading from a low bandwidth region. Over several hours of waiting & the download is just at 43% now.
Cancelled the damn thing & started the media creation tool now to download the ISO over night. Third world problems!
I hope what i will eventually get is worthy the suffering i have endured

As someone who can only get 5mbps DSL, this is exactly why I download and archive just about every installer I've ever used. Storage is cheap. My time isn't.

An airplane was about to crash. There were 4 passengers on board, but only 3 parachutes. The 1st passenger said, "I am Cristiano Ronaldo, the best Football player. Real Madrid and my millions of fans need me, and I can't afford to die." So he took the 1st pack and left the plane. The 2nd passenger, Donald Trump, said, "I am the newly-elected U.S. President, and I am the smartest President in American history, so my people don't want me to die." He took the 2nd pack and jumped out of the plane. The 3rd passenger, the Pope, said to the 4th passenger, a 10 year old schoolboy, "My son, I am old and don't have many years left, you have more years ahead so I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute." The little boy said, "That's okay, Your Holiness, there's a parachute left for you.
Trump took my school bag"

Do you know how many presidents already made that mistake? This joke is so old that it comes with an automatic beard folding device.

Trump is not so stupid as you want to show, pathetic troll. And after that useless "guy with alternative skin" he REALLY DOES something. And pray that president is not a Bush Jr. - biggest illiterate clown in the White House.

Nothing like a Public Holiday to celebrate your birthday (it was in April wasn't it!), too bad your subjects in Motherland don't get a day off for it.

It's politically incorrect to celebrate anything (even remotely) British in modern Britain 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Hi All,
At Parents doing up keep jobs...you know "Oh the garage roof has a little leak", look at it and say "Oh right that I'll fix when its dry". It's dry so muggins trys to fix it with cheapest calkying gun ever made. I spent a good hour trying fix the ****** to allow me to do a three minute repair. Also the calking had set in the tube so another hour to free it up enough to use. Get hands covered & a nice shirt, use language that would shame a drunk marine. Get thing working repair done in under three minutes, pound shop, dollar store tools SEEM like a bargin but they aren't...

You know, ya could've just sawed the tube of caulk in half and applied it with an ice cream stick.
After that, hammer the caulking gun to a pulp, tell the old man it fell off the roof and enjoy another ice cream.

Tried that last time, not a pretty result. It needed to fit a small space between the chipboard roof, bibical mess. Calking gun and nozzle was the way to go.

When the caulk is silicone based, use a finger dipped into soap water to smear the caulk and remove excessive material. That will make it look nice.
Learned that at the Germain Air Force when sealing UHF antennas on top of jets.

I learnt it too but while fixing the caulking on my kitchen sink. It will never be as cool as how you learnt it!

Yep! They always end up costing you more in fixing the damage they do than you save...

If I had any say in the matter I would have, mind you cheap tools are a way of trying something that is a bit dear (bought a cheap rotary tool for cleaning out grout between tiles, have since upgraded to a Dremel)

So lately I've been listening to YouTube on my phone.
I just put on some music while cooking or taking a shower when I don't have a decent setup.
On my computer I'm running uBlock (and before that adblock) so I haven't seen ads in years.
But on my phone I have them again.
FOUR MINUTE ADS!!!  
They aren't so much ads, I guess, but you do see a "skip this ad" button.
Unfortunately, it's a little hard to skip when my hands are covered with whatever I'm about to eat in ten minutes.
Who the hell comes up with these FOUR minute interruptions!?
That's about as long, or longer, than whatever song I was about to listen to.
FOUR FRIGGIN MINUTES!!!

Download the MVPS host file and block those servers on the system level. It is nonsense to download ads and have an adblocker refuse them after, that's just wasting bandwidth. To the website it will simply appear to be a connection-problem (ad-server is down).
I would also like to remind you that this needs to be done for each machine that you use before it can be considered a "secure machine".

They need to make adblock smarter again, too many sites detect it's in play and complain, nuisance having to delete elements from the page to get to the content (if it's worthwhile).
Waiting for an adblock that can detect/fool the adblock detectors or block the adblock blockers.
